Yea he stuck it in some girl's ass again and re-injured it.

Definitely a FOFC All-Star post there. Well done.

Are you talking to me or Larry here? Because I've posted mine in the other thread every week since the season started. It would be a bit redundant and egotistical to post it a second time imo.

That's a thread where cartman asked everyone not to discuss so he could tabulate them easier (and in fact asked us to discuss it in these threads). This is a catch-all thread about college football this week(end). Since there's pretty much 100% overlap between posters and subject matter in the two threads I don't understand why you were apparently virulently opposed to discussion about an intriguing and potentially very important ranking question if those 3 teams win out.

larrymcg421 · 10-24-2009, 08:48 AM

So under the three way tiebreaker rules for the ACC, right now Miami would be the division champ over Ga Tech and Va Tech.

The way it works out is it comes down to the top 2 of the three in the BCS standings. Then if those two teams are within 5 BCS spots of each other, it comes down to head to head. Va Tech is within 5 spots of Miami, but they are the lowest ranked of the three in the BCS, so they get eliminated.

Miami needs Ga Tech to keep winning to preserve the three way tie and to stay ahead of Va Tech in the BCS standings.

I'd respond to this by saying simply, when has a poll ever mattered the third week in October? Different strokes I guess. I just did not see the reason to even discuss it because recent history shows how any one poll looks now, will be totally blown up in a month and none of it will even matter.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 11:32 AM

Fumbled punt leads to a GT field goal, 3-0 Jackets leading UVA midway through Q1.

Last year when Oklahoma was the highest ranked 1 loss team at that time, held serve and made it to the NC over 1-loss USC, or when their BCS ranking enabled them to make it to the conference championship - exactly what the tiebreaker is here in the ACC 3-way tie.

In other news, yay, football is back on. WV returned the opening kickoff for a TD vs. UConn, but UConn has responded and tied it at 7. Pitt had a nice drive to go up 7-0 on USF, and Terrelle Pryor looks to be running more (7-33 in the 1st Q) but OSU missed a 30-yd FG and it's still 0-0 after 1.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 11:44 AM

Can you believe WVU opening the game vs UConn with a 97 yd KOR TD?
Even better, UConn answers with a 9 play, 67 yd drive to tie it back up.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 11:45 AM

UVA ties it at 3 with a crossbar crawler in the driving rain. GT gave 'em field position with a fake punt that came up short around midfield.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 11:49 AM

And Nesbitt fumbles all alone in the driving rain, give UVA a great chance at the Tech 25.

edit to add: They settle for a FG, now 6-3 UVA early Q2.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 11:59 AM

Arkansas coming out flat vs Ole Miss coming out jacked up = not a good start. Sigh.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 12:17 PM

Pretty much everything going wrong. From the first play of the game (a blown personal foul call, deja vu) to the wide-open touchdown pass that was just inexplicably dropped just now.

Sigh. Plenty of time to pull the heads out and I think they will, but way to dig a hole.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 12:40 PM

Finally woke up and had both Mallett not over-throwing and receivers not dropping the ball on the same play and it is 17-7 Ole Miss nearing the end of the half.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 01:03 PM

GT opens the 2nd half with a nice drive keyed by Anthony Allen, now leads 20-6 with 4:13 left in Q3.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-24-2009, 01:28 PM

I think we can officially put any notion that Nebraska is any good to rest. Losing 9-7 to Iowa State at home. Mizzou is going to look back on that 4th quarter collapse as a huge reason they don't win the North and they have no one to blame but themselves.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 01:31 PM

Jesus could Arkansas play worse.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 01:35 PM

And the answer is yes. 24-10 Ole Miss.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 01:39 PM

Anthony Allen 20 yd run, it's 27-9 GT with about 10 minutes left in rainy Charlottesville.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 01:43 PM

Nice tip drill and Arkansas answers, 24-17.

sovereignstar · 10-24-2009, 01:59 PM

GO GOPHERS!!1!

JonInMiddleGA · 10-24-2009, 01:59 PM

GT gets another rushing TD from Nesbitt, now 34-9 with 3 minutes left, which should secure the Jackets first win at Virginia since 1990 when Scott Sisson's last second FG beat the #1 ranked Cavs 41-38.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 02:06 PM

27-17 now. Arkansas makes a 52 yard field goal after the play clock expires and they won't count it. Apparently that only works in Florida.

digamma · 10-24-2009, 02:13 PM

Takin' care of business. On to Nashville!

And oh yeah, GO CLEMpSON!

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 02:22 PM

150th dropped pass by a receiver today. I think we have fumbled every single kick-off, too.

MJ4H · 10-24-2009, 02:34 PM

Suicide watch in effect.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-24-2009, 02:49 PM

Nebraska loses to ISU after their 8th turnover of the day.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-24-2009, 03:00 PM

OU looking to pull an upset in Lawrence. Up 7-0 and just picked off a Reesing pass to get possession again.

DaddyTorgo · 10-24-2009, 03:04 PM

Huskies look great in the first quarter.

larrymcg421 · 10-24-2009, 03:11 PM

There was a flag thrown on like 7 straight plays in the Miami-Clemson game. Clemson had 3rd and 49.

Reesing throws his 3rd interception of the 1st half. Pick-6. OU up 14-0.

Michigan fans may want to reconsider those "M for M" shirts.

DeToxRox · 10-24-2009, 04:52 PM

Michigan is being just destroyed. I think expectations got wildly out of control after beating a very overrated Notre Dame team. They have been playing well enough but the two freshman QB's are now like water finding their level. It was bound to happen eventually, but the hope was it wouldn't happen to both at the same time.

Thankfully Illinois and Purdue are next, so the ship can be somewhat righted going into the home stretch, though as things stand right now, nothing is certain.

Ugh. Penn State's special team woes continue.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-24-2009, 05:16 PM

KU is taking an absolute thumping. No one in the B12 North appears to have any interest in stepping up as the clear leader.

tarcone · 10-24-2009, 05:21 PM

Iowa is the only BCS top 25 team to have beaten 3 Top 25 BCS teams.

GO HAWKS

k0ruptr · 10-24-2009, 05:28 PM

Man, its gonna be REALLY interesting if Oregon and Boise St. Win out.

what happens in the BCS then? Oregon would have to be ranked in the top 5 right? at least . With a win over top 10 ranked Cal (at the time and possibly top 5 ranked USC!

Boise would be undefeated with a win over these Ducks , wow. I would think they would be ranked ahead of Oregon also. I'm so rooting for this to happen.

Yes yes yes yes yes. All along, my hope was to get back to a bowl game. I admit I got caught up in some of the hype, and revised it to hoping for an 8-4 season. Now I'm back to hoping for a bowl game. I forget, do you have to win 6 or 7 to be bowl-eligible?

6. I think they'll finish 7-5 still which was my prediction before the year so we'll see.

As they say, you're not as good as you look when you win, you're not as bad as you look when you lose. It's somewhere in the middle.

Boise and Oregon in BCS = Some of the lowest ratings ever.
