I think this is some sort of Speedwell. Maybe corn speedwell? This is at my Dads house which I took over the lawn to help him out. Anyone know for sure?
I should add that I hit it with some T-zone and it mostly just laughed at me.

I have this all over my yard. Not sure what it is myself but closest i could find was some sort of speedwell or chickweed. I've been applying speedzone and/or ortho weed b gon and it has persisted although it has turned somewhat brown. Would be really nice to know what it is and how to get rid of it. mine have blue flowers.

If that is speedwell...
I think you will be more successful with triclopyr. Weed b gone CCO contains triclopyr. Add a small amount of baby shampoo or a buy a surfactant to help the herbicide penetrate the leaf. See how things look after two apps.

Crabgrass ?

I'm not certain, but it looks like goosegrass.
Bermuda is a warm season grass, and the used herbicides in warm season turf can be different from what are safely used on cool season grasses. I don't know about the management of goosegrass in bermuda, so I am sorry that I cannot advise here.
I am going to recommend that you wait for a confirmation on my ID of goosegrass, and I will ask @g-man or @pennstater2005 to kindly move your post to the warm season side if that is possible. Members in that sub-forum have more knowledge and experience in treating difficult grassy weeds in warm season turf.

Pretty sure that it's corn speedwell after doing my research. I've tried tenacity and Tzone and both don't have much results although tenacity seemed better. Many university sites say it's difficult to control with herbicide so I plan on a fall pre emergent to stop these. Hope this helps you too
 






What's this?
It starts out looking like dark green fine grass with a red base.
As it gets larger, the leaves get slightly wider and are slightly floppier than grass.
The leaves get spiky (looking), and it turns bluish (gets a bit fuzzy too). This is when I know I screwed up.
Then Large stems grow up and out in a bowl shape.
Buds that bare a dandelion-like puffball appear and the bottom leaves begin to get thicker.
It has a taproot.
Generic lawn weed killer seems to hurt it.
