I reckon the first two weeks are always a bit light on until all the major teams start playing

Cheers.
Not real fussed as Notre Dame are playing Navy in Ireland at 4am our time and I never expected a game in Ireland to get covered.
Mind you I'm assuming/hoping the ESPN app still shows a lot of games not on ESPN/Fox.

Out of curiosity because i love watching the US college sports systems.

How did you guys pick your favourite team, i've tried to pick a team but just can't get emotionally attached to a US college i have no affiliation with whatsoever.

I liked Notre Dame's history, school system, values, class and the fact they're an independent. And I always choose teams that are midrange not dominating.
The movie Rudy confirmed it all too.
I also wanted to claim ownership over the song that Sydney and the old Port Adelaide stole. :lol:
I have a hat, polo and jumper already but the polo is my favourite being all green.
What a great mascot too, the fighting Irish! (I'm part Irish)

My son follows the Oregon Ducks just because he likes being different. :lol:

I’m a Clemson fan and have been for two decades closely followed by Notre Dame, also because of Rudy, one of my favorite movies

Notre Dame is the closest i have came to having a team given my Irish heritage and the fact my partner is from Ireland. Also loved a 30/30 doco on Notre Dame but just havent 'got it' yet.

Plenty of live games over the weekend. LSU looked all over Florida State at halftime today but got absolutely spanked in the second half losing 45-24

My Clemson play tomorrow and is live on FOX

Some controversial decisions made on who makes the playoffs after a nightmare weekend for the NCAAF!
