I have a large patch of this in my new house and not sure how to deal with it. I'll be over seeding this fall and with prior lawns have been able to control most weeds with SpeedZone. Not sure if speedzone will work on this.
I was thinking about just aerating it really hard and seeding if this stuff will die off this winter. I am also open to using a different herbicide if there it one that will kill this.

I believe that is nimble will
I think you're right- thanks!
Looks like torpedo grass that has been mowed. Not sure on your options, but I think it is very difficult to control.
It looks like nimblewill to me. I had a difficult time getting rid of it. Only thing that worked for me was two applications of tenacity.
I think you're right. I hit it with quinchlorac the other day, but I don't think that will would have worked so I actually put some Tenacity on order. How long would you wait between applications making the assumption it will take two?
I actually had a bad problem with Niblewill myself. I hit it with 1 tsp of tenacity - 1 gallon water - 3 tsp of Non Ionic Surfactant per 1,000 sqft about two weeks apart. I’m approaching week 3 right now. It’s all pretty white and dying. I’m hoping I don’t need a third application at week 4, but we’ll see.
u/Penutbutterandjaaam hit the nail on the head for the application rates that I followed. Nimblewill takes a long time to show distress after tenacity applications. Two applications will take care of it, two weeks a part, but you won't see it fully dead for a month or so.
I have some pics from my lawn reno that shows a third of the lawn is white from nimblewill, it was a week after the second tenacity application that you saw the effects. I'll see if I can find the album link when I get home from work.
Here's the album: http://imgur.com/gallery/wquJ44u
You can see the large white swaths of dying nimblewill about halfway through the album.
Does it spread in circle like patches? A picture of it in the lawn might help.

I agree with the other commenters. Looks like nimblewill.
