          Week 12 college football Twitter trolls

          • ESPN staffNov 20, 2022, 04:41 AM

          Plenty of trolls were active during Week 12 of the college football season.

          There was an intense bear video. There was a discourse on the color blue, weather talk and plenty of puns.

          Here are some of the best trolls from Saturday:

          South Carolina Gamecocks 63, Tennessee Volunteers 38

          Behind six touchdowns from QB Spencer Rattler, South Carolina hung 63 on No. 5 Tennessee and ended the Vols' playoff chances. It was the second-most points scored on an AP top 5-ranked team since 1936.

          Even with the big win, surely South Carolina would not trample on Tennessee's beloved fight song, "Rocky Top." Ha. Who are we kidding. There "ain't no smoggy smoke" in "Sandstorm," either.

          TCU Horned Frogs 29, Baylor Bears 28

          Baylor had TCU beaten until the Horned Frogs rallied late and capped their win with an epic fire drill of a field goal from Griffin Kell. The victory keeps undefeated TCU's College Football Playoff chances intact for another week.

          While the Frogs are No. 4 in the playoff poll, when it comes to elite-level trolling videos, the rest of college football is playing for second place.

          Hail Frogzilla.

          TCU, Michigan save their playoff chances in oddly similar ways

          Pittsburgh Panthers 28, Duke Blue Devils 26

          Duke's color, Duke Blue, isn't all that different from other deep, dark hues of blue. In certain college sports circles, however, it's on the color wheel of tints like garnet, maize or crimson and cream specifically associated with college teams.

          Well, Pitt, which has its own shade of blue and one of the best uniforms in the sport, would like a word.

          Clemson Tigers 40, Miami Hurricanes 10

          Clemson handed Miami its sixth loss of the season and fourth in which the Hurricanes gave up 40 or more points. It was Clemson's 40th straight home win and its 12th consecutive season of 10 victories or more.

          After the Tigers held Miami to just 98 total yards, the weather people in South Carolina felt comfortable downgrading these Hurricanes past tropical storm -- or even tropical depression -- all the way to a little rainstorm.

          Troy Trojans 34, Louisiana Monroe Warhawks 16

          Don't trust the Trojans with pet birds. Not with what they've chosen to feed these wayward baby birds.

          Washington State Cougars 31, Arizona Wildcats 20

          Cat puns and fireworks!
