College Football Week 6 Thread

[Butter]

Sure it's a little early, but this season's just starting to get interesting after this past weekend... take a look at these games which looked blah a few weeks ago, but now look huge:

Kentucky @ South Carolina - 2 top 15 teams on Thursday night... surprise!

Wisconsin @ Illinois - winner will battle Michigan and Ohio State for top 3 in conference

Kansas @ Kansas State - KU looking to beat a real opponent, K-State looks to return to being a top 25 mainstay after a couple of down years

Ohio State @ Purdue - Purdue could seriously legitimize itself as a top Big Ten team behind Curtis Painter with a huge home win... and those home night games are tough for highly ranked opponents

Cincinnati @ Rutgers - Winner becomes top challenger to USF in conference race... any of those 3 teams would be a huge Cinderella story into the BCS.


Then you have the matchup that was destroyed by this past weekend:

Oklahoma v. Texas - Way to look ahead, guys! You too, Florida!

[TazFTW]

Well, I guess that ends Woodson's Heisman hopes. Kentucky had too many mistakes and South Carolina capitalized.

[Blade6119]

Seeing what Louisville has done since woodson went to town on them, was the hype deserved? I mean, he beat Louisville and Arkansas, who both look very average so far...

You list KU vs. KSU as huge and omit #25 Nebraska at #17 Mizzou? C'mon!

KU's a basketball school and has beat 4 'sisters of the poor' schools. Let's not get all crazy now.

MU beats NU by 13 points.

[ISiddiqui]

You have to read the OP better, Mizzou ;).

Stupid reading comprehension.

I'm a bit jumpy with the approaching kickoff. I'm likely not thinking straight (most would argue this is a common occurance). :)

Interesting note about the MU-NU game. An e-mail was sent to the entire student body from Coach Pinkel. Thought this part was interesting given previous discussions on this board about people running on the field........

Stay off of the field during and following the games. Police will be arresting those who trespass and additional university sanctions could be brought against you. Following the 2005 football game versus Nebraska, 100% of those arrested for trespassing on the field were found guilty or plead guilty in a court of law. There will be pictures and videos of the after game activities and judicial action will be taken for those students identified.

[knolysis]

It seems that the SEC is a bit "coach heavy", with 4 coaches having one a National Championship and 6 having won SEC championships.

What does everyone think about them being able to co-exist? It seems to me that someone has to lose out (and by the rumor mill, the current front runner seems to be Fulmer).

If Fulmer goes, does that thin things out enough that the remaining coaches can get ther share of SEC/National Championships to keep the boosters happy? Does it make it worse in that Tennessee might go and get another "big name" coach that just keeps the picture muddled?

I think that some school outside the SEC is going to get a real good head coach soon and I was wondering what other people thought.

That game is always a lot of fun. I've been to it before. Great matchup.

[Huckleberry]

Then you have the matchup that was destroyed by this past weekend:

Oklahoma v. Texas - Way to look ahead, guys! You too, Florida!

Texas was not a victim of looking ahead. We're just not a very good football team.

Oklahoma was partially a victim of looking ahead. They are not as good as they looked the first few games. Either way they are much better than we are. IMO the smart money is on OU to cover. Objectively speaking I really see this as a 3 TD or more Sooner win.

But I'm playing the Texas moneyline. If we keep it near close we can win. We need a lot of mistakes from Bradford.

It will be our last chance for a couple of years in this game. Our program is in a state of disarray right now, even if most of the information is not publicly known. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Oh, shit. Seton Hill is fucked. :(

[Cuckoo]

But I'm playing the Texas moneyline. If we keep it near close we can win. We need a lot of mistakes from Bradford.


Last week really took a lot of the wind out of the sails on this game. I honestly have no idea what to expect. Before last week, I would've said OU by 3 touchdowns. But OU was beaten in a different way than Texas was. Both teams made mistakes, certainly, but OU was just worn down by Colorado (something I didn't expect at all) while Texas was done in by special teams and turnovers.

Two things I'm looking at in this one. 1. Whether Texas can protect McCoy (or Chiles; I'm not really convinced McCoy plays). OU wasn't able to get pressure last week against Colorado. If they can't against Texas, it's a tight game. 2. Like you mentioned above, how is Bradford in his first RRS? The OKC kid has been around the rivalry for years, but playing in it for the first time has to affect him. Does he get flustered or stay cool and calm like he did against Miami?

I have to quote this article I read from the Statesman. I don't care who you are; this stuff is funny...

COMMENTARY: JOHN KELSO

It's OK for OU fans to use their dental records to buy beer if they have any teeth left

That's right, it's time once again for the Okahoma insult.

Thursday, October 04, 2007

It's time for my annual insult of Oklahoma, which is something I do every year.

Why do I risk sounding redundant by saying this is something I do every year, after using the word "annual?" It's a public service to help out you Okies who may not know what the big grownup word "annual" means.

Now, there's been a lot of talk lately that it might be tough Saturday at the big Texas-OU game up in Dallas for Okies to buy beer at the State Fair of Texas. This news story has been greatly exaggerated. And no, they didn't put in a new no-beer rule for Okies this year because of that Sooner fan/church deacon in Oklahoma City who tried to rip off the guy's testicles for wearing a Texas shirt into a bar.

The reason it may be a slight hassle for Okies to buy beer at the state fair is an obscure Texas law on alcohol sales. If a Texas vendor sells a beer to someone under 21, he's protected from being busted if the buyer of the beer displayed what appeared to be a piece of valid Texas identification.

On the other hand, if the person shows an I.D. from another state, such as Mobilehoma, and it turns out the person is, say, 9, the vendor is NOT protected from being busted.

So, according to Ron Black, the vice president of food service at the state fair, vendors at the fair can choose not to sell beer to people who appear younger than 30 and present an out-of-state ID. He adds this is not a new policy — it's been going on for years — and there are so many booths to buy beer at the state fair that if you're of age and one booth turns you down, you can just go to the next one.

Even if you're an Okie.

I used the age 9 here because up in Oklahoma it's common for 28-year-olds to still be in elementary school. So sometimes at the keg party out at the trailer park up in Yokelhoma the children get mixed up in there with the adults. This is why at Thanksgiving dinner in Oklahoma some of the folks sitting at the little table could use a shave.

Now, you Okies who want to drink before the game may be wondering if you can still use your jailhouse number tattoo as an I.D. to purchase beer at the state fair. Sure, but only if the number on the tattoo matches the number on your ankle restraints.

Also, you Mobilehomans can use your dental records, if you have any teeth left. And remember the rule: only one beer per tooth. Also, the new sobriety test this year for Jokelahomans is answering the question, "Who's your daddy?" I know. That's a tough one. What can I tell you?

In fairness, I'll admit that in all the years I've been to the OU-Texas game, I don't recall ever seeing a Sooner fan drunk. On the other hand, how can you tell if someone is loaded if they're already drooling on their flip-flops and speaking monosyllabically? Hook 'em.

[IMetTrentGreen]

I think OU wins, not by a blowout but not a close game, either. Like last year, but reversed. I'm not particularly jazzed about the game, even though I'm going for the first time since '99. This ought to be fun.

[TazFTW]

What happened to Louisville's offense?

[Huckleberry]

By the way, if Texas loses it will be only our second 4-game conference losing streak since 1956.

[RendeR]

IS Utah really under-the-radar- good or is Louisville so utterly overhyped its pathetic?

Utah handing out an ass kicking tonight.

[ISiddiqui]

Both. No, seriously... Utah beat down UCLA as well (who, yes, is overrated as well), and Louisville lost badly to Syracuse.

Though its now looking like Louisville has tightened the game up.

[TazFTW]

What happened to Louisville's offense?

Crap, I jinxed Utah's D.

[Noop]

Utah is not good. The teams they beat have slow and no talent defenses.

[JeeberD]

Didn't Utah lose fairly handily to some bad team?

Edit: Ah, yes...UNLV.

[Huckleberry]

Craziest year of college football I can remember. I will start voting in the FOFC Top 25 next week. There are a lot of teams that will probably be in that wouldn't have made it preseason.

Unfortunately Texas' performance hasn't been a surprise.

[Chief Rum]

Utah is not good. The teams they beat have slow and no talent defenses.

Say what you want about their quality, but the Bruins' D is not slow. You should probably actually watch a game they play in. Also, NFL scouts will tell you there is talent on the UCLA D, too. But they know that better than I do.

[Noop]

Strike a nerve huh? I watched one game of UCLA's and they lost to the same team I am watching now. I understand they had a few turnovers but Utah looked faster then them. 44-6 means something ain't right and I know UCLA recruits better players.

[Chief Rum]

Actually, no, I was correcting you, because you obviously watched the aberration in what has otherwise been a fast and talented defense going back to 2006. That Utah game wasn't a speed-talent issue, it was a coaching-effort issue.

You need to watch a team more than once on their worst day to know what's up with them.

[timmynausea]

I really think Louisville has talent. Petrino recruited very well. You can probably chalk a little of it up to transitioning to a new coaching staff, but the bottom line is that they are just incredibly poorly coached on defense. I mean, how do you blow a coverage like they did in the last 30 seconds against Kentucky and do the exact same thing the very first play the next week against Syracuse?

Kragthorpe is clearly an offensive guy, so my guess is they'll bring in a new defensive coordinator next year and get some of this straightened out. Unfortunately for them they'll probably lose a few more that they shouldn't have in the meantime.

[Noop]

Your defense in 2006 didn't look fast to me against Florida State. Drew Weatherford who I am consider to be a C- QB had a good game against your defense.

[IMetTrentGreen]

UCLA is fast running in track shorts in the spring but they don't play fast. They are soft, too, which helps.

[Chief Rum]

Your defense in 2006 didn't look fast to me against Florida State. Drew Weatherford who I am consider to be a C- QB had a good game against your defense.

Read any preview or scouting report you want. You'll find out if there is one thing UCLA's defense has, it's speed. Florida State wasn't our best game either. What were you doing on December 3 last year?

No talent defenses don't place players on postseason or preseason All American teams either.

Give it up, you're out of your element here. You probably couldn't name one player on UCLA's defense.

[Chief Rum]

Now, if you were to say UCLA's defense gives up too many big plays, isn't big at all, is extremely inconsistent, and, yes, IMTG, plays soft at times, then you have an accurate picture of the D. To say they're slow and have no talent, though, is like saying they're not in blue. It's just not true.

[Blade6119]

Chief is going crazy this year, every week he seems to go off on someone else

[Noop]

Lets see the times I have seen UCLA play they lost to a faster team Florida State and Utah. Now based on what I have seen with my own two eyes your team is slow and struggles against teams with speed. If you want to continue to debate my ability to interpet what I have seen on the field be my guess but the fact they are your team may be hindering your ability to be objective.

[Noop]

Miami isn't looking to good.

[Celeval]

Maryland player (missed the name - usually a backup LB, but starting today due to an injury) gets into a head-to-head collision with one of his own guys and is down on the field - strapping him to a board to take him off. Not a pretty looking hit, but the player is awake and seems to be speaking.

Maryland leads GT 7-0 in what's been a pretty sloppy game so far.

[RendeR]

Illinois looks pretty good on offense, Mendenhall is a beast. He had 96 yards in the 1st quarter.

Color me impressed with the Illinis

[Neuqua]

The Illini WR Benn is going to be an absolute stud.

[RendeR]

Ok I praise them and they go on a "lets see how many stupid plays we can run before Wisconsin takes the ball away" run.

[st.cronin]

Illinois is absolutely loaded with talent, no surprise that Wisconsin is having a tough time.

[Celeval]

Player was moving his extremeties, and has been brought ot a trauma center. The news isn't nearly so good for GT, down 14-3 with Maryland driving again after a Tech fumble.

[Noop]

Randy Shannon needs to be fired.

[Toddzilla]

Carolina is laying a major beatdown on Miami. UNC looked pretty good but not great against VT last week, and Miami has been decent, but this isn't even funny anymore.

[Neuqua]

Illinois now up 17-0 on Wisconsin in the 2nd quarter.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Maryland now 21-3 over GT, early 2nd quarter.

2x edit to add: Choice breaks into the open field ... and heads for the sidelines, looks like the hamstring may have gotten him again :( And now he's back in, apparently a cramp got him instead of the hammy.
He's got over 90 yards in the first half and yet GT still trails by a bunch.

[st.cronin]

Overrated is also known as PJ Hill.

[Noop]

Illinois is looking good. That spread offense is a killer in the Big Ten.

[RendeR]

Holy shit North Carolina beating the living hell out of Miami....

[Celeval]

GT's defense trying to keep the Jackets in the game, with a strip-fumble-recovery-TD with under a minute to go in the half. If Tech comes back in this game, Friedgen will be second-guessed for that call - dropping back on third and long instead of running the clock out. It's a ways off, though - GT down 21-10 at the half.

[st.cronin]

Holy Crap, Mark Mangino is FAT.

[st.cronin]

Woot, Badgers make it 17-13. Illinois fan is nervous.

[JonInMiddleGA]

GT now back within 21-17 with 8 mins left 3rd quarter

[Young Drachma]

7-3 Wyoming leads with 6 minutes in the first quarter, in the Wyoming-TCU game.

[Noop]

Miami has scored 20 unanswered points.

[Celeval]

GT couldn't pull off a 2-point conversion to tie, but forced a quick punt from Maryland - trailing 26-28 with the ball about halfway through the fourth quarter.

[sterlingice]

Holy Crap, Mark Mangino is FAT.

You've never seen "jowls" before, have you?

Anyways, KU just put 6 on the board but botched the extra point snap, giving them only a 3 point lead, 27-24 with about 6 minutes to go.

SI

[Noop]

How is Mangino a coach, doesn't he has to sign an insurance policy with the school?

[Celeval]

Damn... Tech misses a 52-yard field goal with 0:54 to play that would have given them the lead. Plenty of distance, just hit it a few feet offline. GT has two timeouts, but it's going to take something huge to get back in it.

[Celeval]

Maryland picks up the first down, and that'll be the game. If nothing else, this game was a good one for Taylor Bennett - 22 for 34, for 309 yards and a TD, particularly after a so-so first quarter.

[sterlingice]

1st down and I think that's game for KU, up 6 with 1 to go- KSU only 2 timeouts.

First win for KU in Manhattan since the 80s. A good chance to start 7-0 with Baylor and at Colorado next. But then the schedule gets brutal with @ Texas A&M, Nebraska, @ Okie State, Iowa State (breather), and then Mizzou @ Arrowhead.

SI

[sterlingice]

Woo! Game!

[mckerney]

Woot, Badgers make it 17-13. Illinois fan is nervous.

Well, they did manage to keep it close but couldn't pull of the upset.

[Blade6119]

technically, if they had won it wouldnt have been an upset...they were ranked #5, illinois was unranked...record aside, you cant call that an upset if they had

[st.cronin]

Well, they did manage to keep it close but couldn't pull of the upset.

Yeah, a disappointing loss for Whisky, but not at all unexpected. In terms of talent, Illinois is close to the top of the Big 10. Its odd talent, though - Juice doesn't seem like the ideal qb for the offense they run, but somehow it works.

[st.cronin]

technically, if they had won it wouldnt have been an upset...they were ranked #5, illinois was unranked...record aside, you cant call that an upset if they had

The line was Illinois -3. Badgers were the underdog.

[mckerney]

technically, if they had won it wouldnt have been an upset...they were ranked #5, illinois was unranked...record aside, you cant call that an upset if they had

Well, if I thought Wisconsin was one of the top 5, or even 15 teams in the country, then maybe I'd agree with you.

[mckerney]

If this game were at home and Lance Smith were able to play Wisconsin probably wins, but without their best running back not having the playmakers on defense to be able to slow down the Illini offense I didn't think they'd be able to win. I think not having Smith at OSU is going to doom them also.

[sterlingice]

Colt McCoy looks like and sounds like he hasn't hit puberty yet.

Tennessee handing Georgia their a$$ thus far. Georgia looks awful.

[Schmidty]

The Spartans make me sad.

[Karlifornia]

Who else is ready for Stanford/USC?!?! I have to be at work an hour after kickoff......Something tells me that isn't a bad thing.

Stanford backup QB Tavita Pritchard is making his first start, in place of fifth-year senior T.C. Ostrander, who had a seizure at Gordon Biersch last Sunday. Pritchard the nephew of former Washington State QB Jack "The Throwin' Samoan" Thompson.

The game is on versus at 4 pm pacific time. If anyone likes to see a massacre, tune in! I think the spread is Stanford +40.5

[the_meanstrosity]

SI,

I was getting a little worried when Kansas started to implode late (dropped TD pass and interception off the helmet). Hopefully that will shut up the KSU fans who have been spouting blowout all week. I was not going to be a happy camper if Kansas gave that game away and I had to hear KSU fans spewing their nonsense all week. I've already heard a number of excuses from some KSU fans, lol.

Wyoming also beat Virginia to start the season, who has gone on to be pretty successful in the ACC so far - is Wyoming a better team then people thought?

Wyoming is good. But TCU obviously can't play well on the road either.

You mean like Josh Freeman and his "we win that game 9 times out of 10" from last year ;)

Don't get me wrong- we had a lot of things going for us. I was so happy KSU won last week because they'd be too high coming into a game where we had an extra week to prepare. Coach may be fat (morbidly so), but he's very good at preparation and he took a page out of the Bill Snyder book, giving KU a smart bye before going to Manhappiness.

SI

[the_meanstrosity]

I too was happy for the KSU win over Texas as well since it brought the national exposure to the game. It was great to see the Kansas - KSU game get the hype it deserved. Hopefully Kansas can follow it up with a good game over Baylor.

Kind of ironic for a Michigan fan to be the one saying this.

[DeToxRox]

Kind of ironic for a Michigan fan to be the one saying this.

And I never said Michigan was good but let's face it, every team in the Big East who has gotten the ball has dropped it thus far. Not to say USF is done but Lousville, WVU and Rutgers have all have their chance to make everyone who says the Big East is awful eat crow and instead, they lose to teams who aren't even near the top of their conferences.

I thought the last 2 BCS wins over the SEC and ACC champs were pretty good. Plus the 5-0 bowl record last year.

Louisville has some serious defensive coaching issues, and Rutgers did choke a bit against Maryland, but WVU's loss this year was within the conference to the then #18 team in the country, and they are now in the top 10. I personally doubt USF has the offense to finish the year in the top 10, but I don't think that makes WVU's loss that embarrassing, especially not for the reputation of the conference.

USF is coming off the biggest win in the program's history. They played like it was the super bowl. I'm not the slightest bit surprised they are having a let down this week. It happens all the time in college football. That's all.

[st.cronin]

Illinois is 3-0 in the Big Ten. Iowa is looking to be 0-3. Just a year or so ago, Ron Zook was a punchline, and Kirk Ferentz was rumored to be headed to the NFL.

[Swaggs]

This is the first time I've really seen Bradford and Oklahoma's passing game is impressing me.

[k0ruptr]

VT has 50 total yards but are winning 17-0. lol

[terpkristin]

Maryland picks up the first down, and that'll be the game. If nothing else, this game was a good one for Taylor Bennett - 22 for 34, for 309 yards and a TD, particularly after a so-so first quarter.

Tech looked good, especially when they kept doing the SAME THING over and over and over again and whooping us with it. Our defense, which has looked pretty solid all season, was really what let us down this week, almost lost the game for us. I don't know if it was just because Henderson was out, but they looked absolutely clueless out there. The number of times the ball was either run straight up the middle or we gave the QB way too much time and let him get off a bomb (how the HECK did we not sack him once!)...it was difficult watching that 2nd half, I must say.

Good to hear that Costa (I think that's his name) was moving his extermeties. That happened right in front of where I was sitting, and looked scary as hell. All we could see in the stands (at about the 20) was that he kept kicking his legs and wasn't acting "normally," it was seriously eerie. I haven't seen any injury update on Crummey, I think he either dislocated or broke his ankle. That's going to be a major blow. :(

We have a bye next week, hopefully Henderson will be healthy for homecoming on the 20th.

[timmynausea]

So is Tommy Bowden done at Clemson after this season?

[MrIllini]

If this game were at home and Lance Smith were able to play Wisconsin probably wins, but without their best running back not having the playmakers on defense to be able to slow down the Illini offense I didn't think they'd be able to win. I think not having Smith at OSU is going to doom them also.

Lance Smith is Wisconsin's best running back?

[Eaglesfan27]

USC's offense is very disjointed so far with receivers dropping passes and a failure to move the ball consistently, but Havili just had one of the nicest 3rd down runs for 6 yards or so I've seen this year. Great second and third effort in which he looked like he was going to be stopped well short. A play or two later, a 31 yard pass gets them inside the 2, but that would never have happened without Havili making that play.

[MJ4H]

Arkansas having trouble holding onto the ball and only leading Tenn-Chattanooga 14-9 nearing halftime.

[mckerney]

Lance Smith is Wisconsin's best running back?

Having watched both of them play in several games this year, I'd definitely say so. Hill can pick up yards behind Wisconsin's great offensive line, but at 230 pounds he's rarely the physical of a runner. He'd gain more yardage if he were more willing to make contact instead of avoid it. Smith is an explosive back who I think is more of a more dangerous runner to opposing defenses than Hill.

[bhlloy]

I am absolutely speechless about how bad that playcalling was from USC. Doubly so with a brand new center and guard out there.

[astrosfan64]

LSU is going down.

[Eaglesfan27]

I am absolutely speechless about how bad that playcalling was from USC. Doubly so with a brand new center and guard out there.

Agreed. Very disappointing first half. Hopefully, Pete and the staff can make some adjustments in the 2nd half.

[gstelmack]

USF is coming off the biggest win in the program's history. They played like it was the super bowl. I'm not the slightest bit surprised they are having a let down this week. It happens all the time in college football. That's all.

Yup. I also agree that they may or may not have the staying power to keep it up all season, but this was a typical trap game on FAU's home turf. Glad to see USF finish it, though. FAU's got some athletic players; their Tight End hurdled a USF player just after a catch when the USF player hadn't gone very far in his dive. The guy cleared something like 5 feet, twas pretty amazing.

[st.cronin]

Pick 6 for the Cardinal! The Tree is hanging tough!

[Eaglesfan27]

Finally, USC has a long TD thanks to the tight end Fred Davis who has been their most effective receiver tonight. 16-7 now. Certainly not the blowout I was hoping for and expecting.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Elsewhere around the country today, Georgia Southern blew a 31-7 halftime lead, but kicked a FG at the gun to nip South Dakota State 41-38. Appalachian State rolled over Gardner-Webb 45-7, and UTC just failed on a 2-pt conversion try late in the 3rd quarter & trails Arkansas 24-15 (and the Razorbacks are already inside the Mocs 40).

Also, Middle Tennessee & Virginia are tied at 14 late in the 3rd quarter

[Eaglesfan27]

Stanford with a TD to make it 16-14 very early in the 4th.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Late (and fairly dirty) hit on Tebow by LSU, maybe signs that the Tigers aren't handling playing from behind very well. UF driving with a 10-7 lead late in the first half.

[Eaglesfan27]

Booty with a 47 yard TD to Ronald Johnson! That is Johnson's first TD as a Trojan. 23-14.

[st.cronin]

So, if Florida and Stanford both win, who's #1? Boston College?

[Tigercat]

Late (and fairly dirty) hit on Tebow by LSU, maybe signs that the Tigers aren't handling playing from behind very well. UF driving with a 10-7 lead late in the first half.

Tebow had one, maybe two feet inbounds when Highsmith initiated contact with his shoulders to Tebow's thigh.

Was Highsmith suppose to escort Tebow out of bounds when he saw intent for Tebow to go out of bounds? I don't see how hitting a guys legs while the player is inbounds is a penalty, or particularly dirty. Especially when its a player that initiates contact all day.

[mckerney]

So, if Florida and Stanford both win, who's #1? Boston College?

Florida

[JonInMiddleGA]

So, if Florida and Stanford both win, who's #1? Boston College?

A serious answer would be (I guess) Ohio State, as they're currently cruising against previously unbeaten Purdue.

[Eaglesfan27]

So, if Florida and Stanford both win, who's #1? Boston College?

Considering Cal is #3 in both polls, I would think they would become #1. However, despite the terrible showing from USC, I think there is almost no chance they lose this game. Except for one drive, Stanford's offense has done nothing against USC's defense. If LSU wins, I think they should be #1 in both polls.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Tebow had one, maybe two feet inbounds when Highsmith initiated contact with his shoulders to Tebow's thigh.

Oh puh-leeze. That was (as the CBS crew uncharacteristically pointed out correctly) a fine in the NFL, and that dirty piece of crap was lucky not to be ejected for intent to injure. He was going for the knee of a guy that's currently making LSU look almost silly.

And it isn't exactly a surprise to see that sort of thing from them, nor does it surprise me that someone would try to defend it.

[MizzouRah]

Get the f'n Mizzou - Nebraska game on already, f'n ESPN!!!!!!!!!!!!

This VT - Clemson game is over! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Eaglesfan27]

Florida

I don't see how you can put Florida ahead of a 5-0 Cal team that has beaten some quality opponents.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Considering Cal is #3 in both polls, I would think they would become #1.

My thought was that Cal being idle this weekend would cost them the ascension in favor of the active (and so far solid) tOSU.

[Tigercat]

Oh puh-leeze. That was (as the CBS crew uncharacteristically pointed out correctly) a fine in the NFL, and that dirty piece of crap was lucky not to be ejected for intent to injure. He was going for the knee of a guy that's currently making LSU look almost silly.

HE WAS IN BOUNDS! Even the announcers admitted that, and basically admitted after they saw the replay that it was legal but the refs weren't picking up that flag.

Your bias against LSU is showing again. It was a legal hit.

[heybrad]

USC is doing everything they absolutely can to hand this game to Stanford.

[st.cronin]

Personally, I think all hits on Tebow should be legal, whether he's in bounds, out of bounds, in uniform, in bed, etc. Its really only fair to the other team, cause he's soooooo good.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Your bias against LSU is showing again.

Gosh I hope so. I can think of no team nor fanbase in many a year that I hold in lower regard that the no class kitty cats from the armpit of the country. The only thing better than them losing by 100 points would be seeing them lose by 101.

[Tigercat]

Horrible execution for LSU in the first half, lucky to still be in this game as bad as they've played. Will really see what this team is made of in the second half. If they can't play better at home in the second half, this isn't a NC caliber team.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Its really only fair to the other team, cause he's soooooo good.

I have to think if he has another half like the one he just had that the Heisman might end up being his to lose after all.

[Tigercat]

Gosh I hope so. I can think of no team nor fanbase in many a year that I hold in lower regard that the no class kitty cats from the armpit of the country. The only thing better than them losing by 100 points would be seeing them lose by 101.

I hope you go to a LSU game as a visitor one day. And I mean that in the best of ways. Some LSU fans can be rude and brash, mostly thanks to the alchy thats part of the culture, but I've been to a lot of college football venues, and no place have I seen opposing fans offered more hospitality before a game either. You'd be seriously surprised. But then again, you probably won't get that chance, and you surely won't take my word on it as you seem happy with your hatred. C'est la vie.

[st.cronin]

I have to think if he has another half like the one he just had that the Heisman might end up being his to lose after all.

I think he'll win it. Its the most perfect marriage of player + scheme I think I have ever seen.

[Eaglesfan27]

Yeah, the more I watch of Tebow, the more I think he'll win it. Even if they lose again, his stats are going to be more impressive than a lot of the other contenders.

[Tigercat]

Yea, and he brings a certain flash that no other player at that position brings, which can help his case. Well flash isn't the right word, because what he brings that no other QB does is that he can hit like a truck while running downfield.

[Eaglesfan27]

Sheesh. Booty just threw another pick and Stanford has a chance to win it with 3 minutes to go :(


Edit: Watching the replay, yes he was under a bit of pressure, but he horribly overthrew his guy. :(

[heybrad]

I've just about had enough of John David Booty. What a horrible game.

[st.cronin]

One thing's for sure: JD Booty will NOT win the Heisman.

[Eaglesfan27]

One thing's for sure: JD Booty will NOT win the Heisman.

Absolutely. No one from USC is going to win the Heisman this year.

[Tigercat]

You know it would be one thing if LSU and USC were looking this bad on the road...

[Celeval]

Very lucky break for USC - that was a clean catch inside the five, but he did clearly step out of bounds before that (although barely)

[Swaggs]

Wow... big spot.

[Celeval]

Wow - big play for Stanford - first and goal now after 4th and 20.

[st.cronin]

OMG @ Stanford

[Celeval]

I put on the game about three plays ago... and incidentially, this may be the longest I've ever had the "Versus" network on.

[Radii]

What a catch. I think the spot is correct.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Arkansas pulled away from UT-Chattanooga, winning it 34-15.

[Celeval]

I can't see them changing the spot based on the videos we're seeing.

[Eaglesfan27]

I can't see them changing the spot based on the videos we're seeing.

I can't either even though I think it may have been a bit generous.

[Eaglesfan27]

Dola -

I'm glad that DirecTV chose to add Versus HD. I never thought I'd be watching it, but now I'm glad they have.

[Eaglesfan27]

Double Dola -

This would be all moot if Taylor Mays caught the long pass that the Stanford QB threw at the beginning of this drive.. it was a clearly interceptable ball, but Mays failed to make the play.

[st.cronin]

I can't believe how cool Jim Harbaugh looks. Especially compared to Pete Carroll, who looks like he's about to go insane.

[Swaggs]

Watching a close game like this, where I really don't care who wins but I can appreciate the game itself, is much better than having one of my teams involved. :)

[Eaglesfan27]

Pritchard running it in is what I'm scared of here..

[Celeval]

Oh, man... how do you get flagged for 12 on the field coming out of a time out??

[Swaggs]

Pritchard running it in is what I'm scared of here..

I'm surprised they didn't try that on a bootleg on third down.

[TazFTW]

TD!!!! Go Upset!

[Celeval]

LOL!

[kingfc22]

Oh, man... how do you get flagged for 12 on the field coming out of a time out??

unreal

TD STANFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eaglesfan27]

Oh shit! :(

[Celeval]

That was an incredible play... and the announcers absolutely blew it.

[st.cronin]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @ Stanford

[Swaggs]

Geez... Kind of a surprising play to call, but well done.

Still plenty of time for USC to get into FG range, though.

[kingfc22]

CAL could be #1 tomorrow. Woohoo!!!

[heybrad]

These announcers are lame.

"Touchdown USC!"

"And now Stanford will go for the tie!"

[Eaglesfan27]

A slight push off, but there is no doubt he caught it.

[Swaggs]

Looks like he had control and a foot in bounds.

[st.cronin]

That was an incredible play... and the announcers absolutely blew it.

"TOUCHDOWN USC! Er, Stanford!"

Hilarious.

[Swaggs]

Who are the announcers in this game?

Just curious as to what type of "talent" Versus has for NCAA football.

[Radii]

yeah the little discussion about how they intend to kick the extra point was a little misplaced heh.

[heybrad]

Well... there is enough time for Booty to redeem himself.

[Tigercat]

LSU with another fake FG variation. Gets the first down when the holder (Flynn) runs for it.

[Eaglesfan27]

Well... there is enough time for Booty to redeem himself.

If he doesn't redeem himself, I want to see a new starter next week, even though Booty's receivers have dropped a lot of catchable balls.

Good penalty!

[Swaggs]

This game is going to come down to a FG, I suspect.

[Celeval]

Sheesh... Stanford isn't making this easy on themselves.

[Radii]

that's a scary looking face mask as fast as he was running by the defender.

[kingfc22]

come on Cardinal

[heybrad]

If he doesn't redeem himself, I want to see a new starter next week, even though Booty's receivers have dropped a lot of catchable balls.

Good penalty!
I'm really curious what the opinions of other SC fans on Booty vs. Sanchez. I've never thought Booty was that good.

And on queue... down he goes.

[Galaril]

Stupid facemask penalty. And Booty is SACKED!

[Swaggs]

Harbaugh is looking extremely cool. I'm impressed.

[Eaglesfan27]

Sigh.

[Celeval]

I think Jim Harbaugh might jump out of the stadium if they pull this off.

[Eaglesfan27]

Way too many catchable balls not being caught.

[TazFTW]

w00t, Captain Comeback!

[heybrad]

That's it. Bench Booty.

[Swaggs]

Amazing...

[Galaxy]

Go Cardinal!

[st.cronin]

Picked again. No booty for Booty tonight.

[Tigercat]

John David Booty channeled Josh Booty tonight.

[st.cronin]

Fear the Tree!

[Eaglesfan27]

Fitting end to the game. I can't believe USC lost to Stanford. The only consolation is that if USC can beat Cal and run the table the rest of the way they still have a good chance to get back into the NC picture.

[Celeval]

Hate to break it to the announcers, but I still think App St. over Michigan was a bigger upset. This is up there, though. Wow.

[cmp]

So now will we have two #1 teams go down in one night? This season has been great.

[Buccaneer]

Unbelievable. Just watched the last 2 minutes and saw history in the making.

[Swaggs]

Interesting that Stanford puts Cal in the driver's seat.

[Swaggs]

Kirk Herbstreit is visibly aroused by the prospect of the Buckeyes in the top 2. It is going to be a long season...

[Galaxy]

Fitting end to the game. I can't believe USC lost to Stanford. The only consolation is that if USC can beat Cal and run the table the rest of the way they still have a good chance to get back into the NC picture.

I don't know. Losing to Cal or even Washington is one thing, but I think a loss to Stanford kills any chance. Just my feeling.

[Tigercat]

So now will we have two #1 teams go down in one night? This season has been great.

Not so fast! Its going to be an uphill battle, but LSU will be a better team (and is so far) in the second half. They need to stop Tebow and force more punts now though.

[Galaxy]

Hate to break it to the announcers, but I still think App St. over Michigan was a bigger upset. This is up there, though. Wow.

Yeah, perheps in the biggest in history. And Michigan was a NC contender.

[Noop]

Well looks like both one and two will lose tonight.

[ISiddiqui]

This is one of the few times I'm rooting for Florida. Just to mess up the rankings, really.

[Galaxy]

I have never seen a college football season like this. It's great!

[timmynausea]

College football is sweet.

[Eaglesfan27]

I don't know. Losing to Cal or even Washington is one thing, but I think a loss to Stanford kills any chance. Just my feeling.

Well, Cal and Oregon are still highly ranked and if they beat them both and run the table, they could get back into the #2 slot. Of course, they need Ohio State and LSU and probably a few of the other undefeated teams to lose or there is no chance.

[st.cronin]

This is one of the few times I'm rooting for Florida. Just to mess up the rankings, really.

+1

[Swaggs]

Notre Dame goes up on UCLA, 13-6.

[wade moore]

I have never seen a college football season like this. It's great!

I'm actually not liking it perosonally.. the only way I'd like this season is if there was a playoff.. in the bowl system, I don't like that we have a huge muddle of teams..

But, idano... maybe this season brings up a stronger argument for playofffs...

[Eaglesfan27]

At least ND is up on UCLA 13-6. If ND gets their first win of the season against UCLA that would cheer me up a bit.

[st.cronin]

Do you hear that? That's the sound of 100,000 LSU fans shutting their mouths.

[ISiddiqui]

Damn... Teel got lucky that ball wasn't picked off. 20-14 Rutgers now, with the FG on the ensuing play.

[Galaxy]

I'm actually not liking it perosonally.. the only way I'd like this season is if there was a playoff.. in the bowl system, I don't like that we have a huge muddle of teams..

It makes the argument against a playoff in my view. Makes every game count. Most of these teams are falling to lower-tier teams to say the least.

[Celeval]

Florida' offense seems to just have the LSU defense confused at this point - the 20 yarder up the middle and then nobody within about 30 yards of that guy for the touchdown.

[Huckleberry]

This was easily a bigger upset than App St./Michigan. App. State has been better than Stanford for the last few years. USC is better than Michigan.

No contest. Not in terms of name recognition but in terms of team strength.

[wade moore]

It makes the argument against a playoff in my view. Makes every game count. Most of these teams are falling to lower-tier teams to say the least.

How do you figure? With a muddle of 5-10 1 loss teams where most of the losses were bad losses to teams that are not rated highly.... how do you decide who goes to the NC game?

[Swaggs]

You raise a good point. Folks enjoy actively rooting against traditional powerhouses like USC, Michigan, Florida State, etc, but it is not as fun to root against teams like BC, Cal, or South Florida.

[Celeval]

20-6 Notre Dame!

[Eaglesfan27]

ND with a defensive TD. Now up 20-6 over UCLA. :)

[ISiddiqui]

Damn you UCLA... don't give the Irish their first win! Bunker down!!

[wade moore]

You raise a good point. Folks enjoy actively rooting against traditional powerhouses like USC, Michigan, Florida State, etc, but it is not as fun to root against teams like BC, Cal, or South Florida.

Yup.. we'll have a muddle of 1 loss teams with weak schedules with 1 loss teams with strong schedules but a bad loss...

This years NC game debate could be a little out of control.

[wade moore]

I don't want parity in my college FB damnit.

[JPhillips]

I found an exploit in NCAA football. At the end of the half in the OSU/Purdue game OSU was flagged for grounding. At that point there were 46 sec remaining and the clock stopped. Aren't I right that the clock would have continued had it been a sack? Why does a team get rewarded for grounding with a clock stoppage?

I hope Arlie fixes this in the next version.

[Swaggs]

This was easily a bigger upset than App St./Michigan. App. State has been better than Stanford for the last few years. USC is better than Michigan.

No contest. Not in terms of name recognition but in terms of team strength.

No way. Not even close, in my opinion.

The Appy State upset was much bigger.

[Swaggs]

I know folks don't have much love for the Big East, but Cincy and Rutgers are playing a very good game on ESPN2.

[Huckleberry]

No way. Not even close, in my opinion.

The Appy State upset was much bigger.

You can only think that if you're wrapped up in name power.

Appalachian State is a better football team than Stanford. And they have been for the last few years. They would be favored at a neutral location against Stanford.

And it goes without saying that USC is a better team than Michigan and has been for years.

[Galaxy]

Yup.. we'll have a muddle of 1 loss teams with weak schedules with 1 loss teams with strong schedules but a bad loss...

This years NC game debate could be a little out of control.

Personally, I like the old traditional bowl system (SEC vs. ACC in the Sugar Bowl; Big 10 vs. Pac 10 in the Rose Bowl, ect).

But as to the NC game, I just think we'll have to let the season play out.

[ISiddiqui]

Damn... Cincy scores to go up 21-20 :(.

[wade moore]

Personally, I like the old traditional bowl system (SEC vs. ACC in the Sugar Bowl; Big 10 vs. Pac 10 in the Rose Bowl, ect).

If Florida pulls off the win against LSU I don't see any realistic way there isn't a muddle of 1 loss teams at the top at the end of the season.

of course we'll have to see how it goes, but I really don't see any realistic way around it... along with possibly my dreaded scenario of an undefeated Hawaii in that picture possibly too...

Me too. When it was a "mythical" national championship, it was a lot more fun to argue about.

[Galaxy]

Me too. When it was a "mythical" national championship, it was a lot more fun to argue about.

It just made the bowls more meaningful and everyone was excited about going to Rose Bowl, or to the Fiesta Bowl.

I don't see Hawaii getting in the NC picture unless all off the big teams end up with 2 or more losses. I think most voters would take any of the big time 1 loss teams over an undefeated Hawaii team that has played a very soft schedule.

[ISiddiqui]

Who had a Cal-BC national champion game? ;)

Though I don't think Cal or BC will get through unscathed.

[Celeval]

Great option pitch by Perriloux

[cmp]

I can't wait for that South Florida/BC title game.

[Tigercat]

LSU players are dropping like flies, especially the OLmen. :(

[Galaxy]

South Florida won today, correct?

[Eaglesfan27]

South Florida won today, correct?

Yeah, they had a rough start, but they won 35-23.

[ISiddiqui]

WOW... you just can't miss that FG, LSU kicker!

[RendeR]

So Does Ohio State leapfrog Cal Or do the voters give Cal a gimme because they were off this week?

[Galaxy]

WOW!

[ISiddiqui]

What a tackle on 3rd and goal!

[ISiddiqui]

LSU TD!!

[Celeval]

I love this game.

[Noop]

I cannot root for the Gators so its Geaux Tigers for me.

[ISiddiqui]

Come on, Rutgers #88... you HAVE to make that catch!

[st.cronin]

So I think there are now 11 undefeateds left:

Boston College
Kansas
Missouri (up big on Nebraska at the half, could still fall)
Connecticut
South Florida
Cincinatti (tentatively)
Ohio State
Arizona State
California
Hawaii
Louisiana State

[Celeval]

Looks like he was out at the 14.

[Noop]

So I think there are now 10 undefeateds left:

Boston College
Kansas
Missouri (up big on Nebraska at the half, could still fall)
Connecticut
South Florida
Cincinatti (tentatively)
Ohio state
Arizona State

Hawaii

Until they lose LSU is still undefeated.

[Eaglesfan27]

I wouldn't count LSU out yet.

[ISiddiqui]

Burning a Timeout for that? What?!

[Galaxy]

What is the difference in yards? Not a big enough difference for a challenge in my view.

[st.cronin]

Until they lose LSU is still undefeated.

Forgot about them, edited the post.

[Tigercat]

That was a bad call to risk that timeout, not enough at stake and you may need a challenge later. But timeouts themselves (outside of challenges) are overrated in college football.

[ISiddiqui]

What is the difference in yards? Not a big enough difference for a challenge in my view.

Like 10 yards?

[cmp]

Hmmm. I don't think he was out.

[Lathum]

huge turnover there, Rutgers needs to make them pay the way cincinnati did earlier in the game.

gotta get 7 here.

[ISiddiqui]

3 and out for Florida. Uh oh.

[Lathum]

Damn it!!

The last 2 games Rutgers can't make a play when they need it. I bet they don't even get the ball back.

[Noop]

They need to bench Flynn.

[Tigercat]

They shouldn't have called either player there, all contact was off the initial 5 yard jam. Bad, bad call.
