Brasil defeated the US in women's volleyball. Home town has it going on.
Once the Olympics are over, I'll try to get a complete list of who won what.

10 days until US college football begins! The very first game of the season is Tennessee Volunteers (ranked #9 in the Associated Press poll) vs Appalachian State. It should be a good tune up game for the Volunteers, but App State can be dangerous and were one of the best Division II teams that joined the Sunbelt Conference in Division I.
Below is Tennessee Volunteer's schedule:
Thu, Sept 1 vs Appalachian St ( 7:30 PM ET on SEC Network)
Sat, Sept 10 vs Virginia Tech (neutral location - Bristol, Tennessee) (8:00 PM ET on ABC)
Sat, Sept 17 vs Ohio (12:00 PM ET on SEC Network)
Sat, Sept 24 vs #25 Florida (SEC conference game)
Sat, Oct 1 @ #18 Georgia (SEC conference game)
Sat, Oct 8 @ Texas A&M (SEC conference game)
Sat, Oct 15 vs #1 Alabama (SEC conference game)

Sat, Nov 5 vs Tenn Tech
Sat, Nov 12 vs Kentucky (SEC conference game)
Sat, Nov 19 vs Missouri (SEC conference game)
Sat, Nov 26 @ Vanderbilt
Another good team to keep an eye on is #2 Clemson Tigers. Their opening game against Auburn Tigers should be really, really good.
Sat, Sept 3 @ Auburn (9:00 PM ET ESPN)
Sat, Sept 10 vs Troy (12:30 PM ET ESPN 3)
Sat, Sept 17 vs S Carolina St (12:00 PM ET ESPN 3)

Very happy Team GB ended up in 2nd ! Goes to show that hard work and organisation can be better than just training a hundred-thousand and sending the best of the pile.

American College Football begins tonight!!! 7:30 PM ET is the kick off time. It's on SEC Network if anyone has it and wants to watch it.
For the first time since 2001, season tickets have sold out for the Tennessee Volunteers. Knoxville is going crazy and some fans started tailgating yesterday. This is where Butch Jones says we will figure out "the unknowns", the game situations that have not been covered in practice or they didn't think to cover.

RE: The Sporting News - Kakariko Kid - 09-05-2016
Yes. Tyrone Swoopes dove across the end zone line to win the game in 2nd overtime. It was one of the best games I ever watched. Texas Longhorns are currently unranked and Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 10 in the nation. Huge upset.
Houston upset 3 Oklahoma and Wisconsin upset 5 Louisiana State University.
I'm wanting to compile a list, add updated rankings and notes, and post it (hopefully by tomorrow night). 11 Ole Miss is currently playing against (and currently winning) 4 Florida State. Games are normally not spread out over 5 days, but it's opening weekend and today is a holiday which is extended it.

So I'm guessing no-one's prediction pools are going well ?

Nope. That's why I rarely ever play in a prediction pool, and never have on opening weekend.
