Official College Football Week 10 thread
 
Stretch run of the season coming up. November games starting on Friday night! Here's the match up of Top 25 teams this weekend:

Miami at Florida State
Oklahoma State at Texas Tech
Michigan at Michigan State

BillJasper 10-28-2013 09:56 AM

I feel kind of sorry for Miami.

ISiddiqui 10-28-2013 10:24 AM

Yeah, that's going to be difficult to watch if you are a Miami fan...

Logan 10-28-2013 10:33 AM

Rutgers might very well lose to Temple this weekend. A horrendous secondary already down its top 2 DBs (broken arm, quit team to pursue a baseball career - yep), #3 is a moron and gets a DWI this weekend and is suspended. Facing off against dynamic true freshman QB PJ Walker who many RU fans wanted to see get a scholarship offer as a project dual threat QB, and he'll have a nice chip on his shoulder for it never coming. Could be ugly.

cartman 10-28-2013 11:03 AM

Doesn't look like David Ash is going to be back for Texas this season. They pulled the redshirt of QB Tyrone Swoopes at the end of the TCU game. I don't think they would have done that if there was any chance of Ash coming back soon.

Logan 10-28-2013 12:22 PM

Oliver Luck to meet with Texas, reportedly the top AD candidate - SBNation.com

Came here to post similar things. Fire everyone if they lose this one.

Melvin Gordon glad he decided to stay in state - and not go away to Iowa

And yet, the opening line is 14......

Rutgers offered PJ Walker, as a cornerback. Apparently Temple was the only one to offer at QB.

Logan 10-28-2013 02:21 PM

Yeah if Rutgers offered him at QB, he'd be here now.

Needless to say how tolerable my FB feed will be is going to be in direct relation to the outcome of this game.

Is this part of a plan to recruit his son? Oh wait....

When was the last time neither team was ranked going into The World's Biggest Outdoor Cocktail Party?

ISiddiqui 10-29-2013 01:29 PM

I was just thinking that myself earlier today!

2010 ... Meyer was about to leave & CMR was suffering his only losing season.

However it's only the 2nd time it's happened since 1979.

miked 10-29-2013 02:20 PM

Don't forget Gary Nova has already been sacked 19 times (11 all of last season) and has 7 picks in his last 2 games (50 attempts) with a completion percentage around 48%.

JonInMiddleGA 10-30-2013 01:21 AM

Hopefully nobody minds a tiny bit of self-hype here. Last few weeks I've managed to resume my 3 minute podcast, the somewhat extended audio companion to the weekly top 25 that goes on my blog.

It's on Spreaker, with crossposts to YouTube and Soundcloud (which, oddly enough, actually gets more traffic randomly & without promoting than the original that I usually hype from Spreaker. Go figure.)



Mizzou B-ball fan 10-30-2013 09:44 AM

Playing Mizzou must curse the other team's starting QB. Tennessee starting QB tears a thumb ligament, out indefinitely. Back up will be making his first career start against #10 Mizzou.

Iowa hosts Wisconsin for the Heartland trophy. Havent played Wiscy for a few seasons. Man, I really dont like Wiscy. At least they have a decent coach now.

But we continue to get our 2* and a handful of 3* players and coach them up and have a 3 good seasons then go through 3 terrible seasons.

Such is the life of an Iowa fan.

britrock88 10-30-2013 03:41 PM

Glad that you'll be back to playing every season once Maryland and Rutgers come on board.

lungs 10-30-2013 03:48 PM

Has anybody here had the chance to see Melvin Gordon? I've got red-tinted glasses on but of all the decent running backs I've seen come through UW there is something about Gordon that sets him apart in my eyes compared to even somebody like Montee Ball.

All I know is I will take 1012 yards on 107 carries, though Ohio State did seem to be the one team that could contain him more than anybody else.

General Mike 10-30-2013 05:24 PM

Carl Pelini resigned at FAU.

A source said the coaches attended a recent social event at which marijuana was used. Although this appears to be an isolated incident, all involved determined it was in the best interest of the program that the coaches resign, the source said.

If Carl is as high-strung as his brother, I can see why he was self-medicating with weed.

cuervo72 11-01-2013 09:06 PM

Oregon State unis are pretty wild.

Pass by USC QB was incredibly crappy.

dawgfan 11-01-2013 09:57 PM

So what are the chances that Nebraska officials try to dig up drug-use dirt on Bo Pellini in case they decide they want to oust him at the end of the season?

tarcone 11-01-2013 10:30 PM

I dont think they will need to. F-ing Nebby fans will be enough.

Lathum 11-01-2013 10:48 PM

Mannion making some really poor decisions. This game should solidify his return.

Eaglesfan27 11-02-2013 07:56 AM

Really happy with how USC team played last night. Down to 38 scholarship players due to all the injuries and they fought hard all game and made some big plays. Insane that Lane Kiffin wouldn't play Buck Allen - player is a beast. This is the type of talent that I saw winning 10 games at the beginning of the year and still a shot at it...

Bigsmooth 11-02-2013 08:46 AM

I love Corso like a grandpa but come on, time to get him off the air or just mix him in on the picks segment. I had to mute that last discussion.

mauchow 11-02-2013 09:20 AM

GO BADGERS! BEAT THEM PIGGIES!

I'm going to spread the final score a little more than vegas predicts... 33-17. Make it happen boys!

tarcone 11-02-2013 09:37 AM

You think Iowa can score 33? I think it will be more like 21-10. Iowa with the home win.

Matthean 11-02-2013 09:48 AM

While I love to see a Michigan win, I don't see it coming against State right now unless Michigan brings an A game that has yet to appear.

With our best defensive player now listed as not playing (Borland) I'm gonna make it a few points closer. 30-20. Badgers win.

tarcone 11-02-2013 11:19 AM

Looks like a slugfest to start the day. I dont think either team gets to 20.

General Mike 11-02-2013 11:30 AM

Bad Eli, bad Gary.

General Mike 11-02-2013 12:14 PM

bad Kyle

Jon 11-02-2013 12:24 PM

I guess "in the mix" doesn't mean what I think it does with respect to Chas Dodd getting snaps.

The team looks just lost. 1st and goal from the 1 and 3 straight penalties to move it back to the 20.

Plus kicking a 41 yard FG with a terrible kicker. I'm done with Kyle Fl

and nothing characterizes Gary Nova's decision making ability than the drive to end the half.....

Bigsmooth 11-02-2013 12:35 PM

Wake vs Syracuse is some of the worst football I've ever seen, honestly. Wake's offense in particular holy christ. I have Tanner Price in a daily fantasy game and very much regret it...

tarcone 11-02-2013 12:35 PM

Wiscy leads 7-6 at half.
I owa dominated most of the 1st half. And Iowa doesnt make half time adjustments. So I think Wiscy wins 21-9.

Boy, I hope not.

mauchow 11-02-2013 02:01 PM

Good call on 21-9 at this point. That TD was huge...obviously.

This guess is looking pretty good right now. :)

miked 11-02-2013 02:03 PM

If you lose to a 1-7 team at home, you shouldn't make it to the press conference with a job. Unreal.

General Mike 11-02-2013 02:17 PM

Carroo :)

tarcone 11-02-2013 02:32 PM

Iowa is pathetic at half time adjustments. We had led every game at half until today. Every game. And here we sit at 5-4. Im so tired of Ferentz and his play not to lose style. Greg Davis is a terrible OC. Just horrible. I think Cartmna told me he would throw short of the marker on every 3rd down pass. Boy, was he right. And Texas had the athletes to make something happen. Iowa doesnt.

FIRE FERENTZ. Oh wait, we cant. If we do we owe him $17 million.

bhlloy 11-02-2013 02:39 PM

Had the second half of that Iowa game on in the background and while not a big sample size, I have to agree - that looked like a horribly vanilla, unimaginative offense.

Yep. Thats the definition. And we brought in our running QB after our starter got hurt. And then proceeded to put him under center. I dont understand the thought process of our coaches.
Vanilla and lack of imagination is right on the nose. And Boring.

JonInMiddleGA 11-02-2013 03:15 PM

Georgia out to a quick 14-0 lead over a Florida team that looks considerably overmatched talent-wise.

Last UF coach to lose 3 straight to UGA? Galen Hall.

If something doesn't change quickly, this might very well be the last time Muschamp is a head coach at the Cocktail Party.
