College Football Week 12 Thread
There's an entertaining game in progress on ESPN2 between #22 Cincinnati and Louisville. Louisville is up 17-14 at halftime.
Cincinnati's coach, Brian Kelly, made a bone headed decision in the 1st quarter to go for it on 4th and 1 from his own 29, missed it, and Louisville tied it up on an 11 play, 28 yard drive to give them the momentum. |

This might be the best game of the week. The rest of the games all look to be pretty poor/boring.

It's good to see quarterback Dustin Grutza back on the field for Cincinnati after breaking his leg earlier this year. He came in and led an impressive drive to put the Bearcats up 28-20 with six minutes left in the game.
Cincinnati has been a gritty team this year. Due to injuries, they've had to play four different quarterbacks. |

Cincinnati's kicker just missed his fourth consecutive field goal to keep Louisville in the game. UC 28-20 with two minutes left.

That review and change of the spot that took away the Louisville 3rd down conversion late in the game was one of the worst I've seen this year. It looked to me like it was a pretty good spot considering forward progress. I was really surprised they changed it.

Oklahoma has a bye this week, so I'll be rooting for the Kansas Jayhawks against Texas.

Texas is in a fairly tight game with Kansas, with the Longhorns up 14-0 at halftime. However, Kansas doesn't look they have the offensive firepower to do anything against this Longhorn defense.

UGA and Auburn is trying to really out ugly each other. Georgia has been the ugliest, but they have a one point lead after the half, 7-6.

Game over at Kansas. Texas goes up 21-0 early in the 3rd, and it might as well be 21,000 to 0 the way Kansas' offense is playing.

Georgia adds a FG, extends their lead over Auburn to 10-6 as the 3rd quarter draws to a close.

I dunno GD, I think it just got a lot better
 Cody Fannin with a great 35 yd run on 3rd & short, TD Auburn. Tigers lead 13-10 with 11:05 left in regulation.

This QB for Michigan is absolutely awful. How does a guy like this wind up starting for such a high profile Division I team?

PSU's performance today kind of satisfies me that they're not going to the National Championship game. No way that Indiana team hangs around with any other Top 10 team in the country. Heck, even Ohio State would've had em' by 30 by the half.
Hopefully, the Lions will beat Michigan State at home next week to win another Big Ten title (2nd in 4 years). That was pretty much the main realistic goal this season, anyway. |

Georgia gets the benefit of a highly questionable pass inteference call, Tuberville explodes & gets a 5 yard sideline warning delay of game.
edit to add: Notable because I don't know if I've ever seen that called that way. When the flag came down I was expecting an unsportsmanlike.

Heh. Navy just scored a TD to cut Notre Dame's lead to 27-21, then recovered on onside kick with less than 2 minutes left in the game (CBS).

Georgia can't convert 3rd & 7 as Moreno stumbles down about a yard short after catching a screen. Tigers take their last timeout so they'll punt ... OMG, Auburn just jumped offside ... OMG OMG no they called procedure on Georgia, so they will punt after all, fair caught at the Auburn 20.

OK, I just switched over the the Georgia/Auburn game, which is being carried by -- Raycom Sports?
 Before the season, if someone had told you that the Georgia/Auburn game would be televised by Raycom Sports, you would have laughed your ass off. |

How the hell no pass inteference was called on that fade I have no idea.
4th & 1, :07 left. Under pressure Kodi Burns lobs one up ... incomplete off the fingertips of Ben Tate in the corner of the end zone, UGA takes over with :01 left.

Can't believe Charlie kicked the FG with ~10 minutes left when up by 17. It's a 3-possession/2-TD game either way... 4th and 3 you have to go for it there. Charlie's game management was shockingly inept in the last 10 minutes today. Gah.

Kenny Britt has a shot at being a first day pick this offseason. Big East win is a long shot, but 2nd place has a decent tie-in. As long as we're not playing in the Texas Bowl, International Bowl. or MPC Computers Bowl.

If we finish 7-5, we're going to be stuck in the PapaJohns.com crap bowl, unless Syracuse can find a way to beat Navy next week. Here are my current Big East bowl projections: BCS - Cincinnati Gator - ND Meineke - WVU International - Pitt PapaJohns.com - Rutgers St. Petersburg - UConn Best case for Rutgers is that UConn, USF and Rutgers all have 7 wins, and Rutgers finds its way into one of the bowls the other BCS conferences don't fill. Going to the Texas bowl sure seems a lot better at this point then going to Birmingham.

Smelley throws a pick six & Florida takes 7-0 lead over South Carolina late in the first quarter.
edit to add: Tipped at the line, another interception by Florida (no long return this time though).

Wow, talk about a melt down ... Florida went up 14-0 after the second turnover, they kickoff & SC tried one of those toss back/throw across things on the return.
Naturally the toss was bad & was fumbled, Florida recovers for another TD. edit to add: After further review, the runner was down at the one foot line.

UNC leads Maryland 15-14 at the half in a game that is critical for both team's chances to win their respective divisions in the ACC. UNC wins the ACC Coastal Division if they win out, and after this their last two games are vs NC State and at Duke, the two worst teams in the conference.
Of the 3 teams that realistically have a shot at the ACC Atlantic Division(Maryland, Wake Forest, and FSU) if I'm reading the schedules correctly Maryland is the one that is in control of their own destiny. If FSU wins out they need Wake to lose, if Wake wins out they need Maryland to lose. What a huge mess. |

I hate rooting against Butch Davis, but as a Canes fan, I really want UNC to lose here.
Miami is getting better and better. I think we'll be extremely dangerous next year. I still think Jacory Harris is better than Robert Marve and wish he'd get more playing time.
