So, is the winner of a week allowed to trash talk the week following the week they won as long as they are willing to eat crow the next week when they fall back to the wayside where they belong? ---

ND vs. Temple is the only matchup of ranked teams? Shaping up to be a boring college football weekend. ---

> [@Barkis\_is\_Willin](#): > > ND vs. Temple is the only matchup of ranked teams? Shaping up to be a boring college football weekend. No argument from me! All I have set up to watch are some SEC rivalries. But if you are guided by Jeff Sagarin ( [College Football Ratings Page](http://sagarin.com/sports/cfsend.htm) ) there’s a relative rare occurrence this week: ```auto Tennessee vs @Kentucky 83.14 71.03 12.11 (9) Notre Dame @ (21) Temple 89.18 77.07 12.11 ``` I’ve seen it where two teams had the exact same “Sagarin rating” but this is the first time I’ve seen the _differences_ in rating be the same! 🙂 Of course, only the ND-Temple game is on our Top 25 list, so you have to be looking at other schedules to see that. ---

Going with Notre Dame to lose. And jumping on the slow week bandwagon. Florida/Georgia and Ole Miss/Auburn are probably the SEC games I’ll watch… ---
