concerning?
Snyder is a bit problematic and has been known to thieve these games. emotion only lasts so long…then it is down to running from the Legion of Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew Luck and Toby Gerhart will expose some weaknesses in UO's defense
Not sure Stanford will pull off the upset, but Harbaugh runs a fundamentally sound program that can probably show teams down the road how to beat the Ducks.
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 3:10 PM CST up reply actions
i know nothing about Stanford
but from what I know about OR is the lead probably won’t last.
by Infield Elephant on Nov 7, 2009 3:12 PM CST up reply actions
Andrew Luck's an amazing talent, and Gerhart's a great back
Luck is a Texas boy who could’ve gone almost anywhere, but chose to play for Harbaugh. He’s unrefined at this point, but his talent as a prototypical pocket passer is terrific. Those kinds of guys can expose a defense when they’re on, or have a so-so game when they’re off.
Also, overrated defenses like Oregon’s can look pretty tasty to a team like Stanford, who’s looking for an upset against a team that is probably pretty full of themselves coming into today.

Possibly the NFL
But I don’t think Harbaugh’s the type to go for, say, a big SEC school. He played at Michigan, and he even publicly poo-poo’d THEIR academics about a year ago.

See you Next Year
Ok Ok y’all were right all along. We’re not back yet, Texas Tech win was a fluke. We will be better next year. But I am not giving up on the Thanksgiving day possibility of a surprise yet.
So, if Mizzou and Nebraska lose today, then KSU needs to win just one more game to clinch the Big XII North?
Or am I reading that wrong…?
No.
If Nebraska loses today, they’ll be 2-3 and KSU will be 4-2. But Nebraska still has KSU on the schedule so if they win out, they’ll finish with, at worst, the same record as KSU and will have the head-to-head win for the tiebreaker.
lol beergut just banned me from 12th man
for saying “haha whoops” after JJ threw a pick.
granted i was warned for talking shit there before, but that is a bit heavy handed. must be takin it pretty hard over there
Aggies stuck at 5 wins
At OU, Baylor, Texas are final three.
Looks like Baylor game will be to become bowl eligible.

it almost seems that Ingram is only getting heisman love
because hes the only one on that offense moving the ball. they have to find someone on the team by default given the their ranking.
Boise State is in a no win situation
They can’t cheer against Oregon, but if Oregon wins out, they most likely leap the Broncos.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 7, 2009 4:13 PM CST up reply actions
Well this has nothing to do with what we were saying about Oregon.
And notwithstanding that, Stanford’s a hell of a lot better than Louisiana Tech, which BSU struggled like crazy with last night (only up 3 with 10 minutes to go).
I thought he was refering to the post
about who you don’t want to face in the championship. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that score.
I don't think it's a bunch of "Oregon lovers" here
Everyone’s arguments this week in the Boise-Oregon debate remain valid despite this weekend’s results. We were all debating based on the evidence at hand.
Formerly kjm017
Except that most ignored the most obvious evidence at hand:
1. That BSU beat up Oregon
2. That BSU had a better record than Oregon
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 4:22 PM CST up reply actions
Well that's just not true.
We just didn’t value those particular facts as much as some other particular facts. You can’t say that your value system of valuing facts is better than mine, nor can you say that I was ignoring facts. It’s just flat-out wrong.
Regardless, I’m not getting into this now.
I agree that Oregons wins compared to Boise wins, Oregons wins are more impressive. But the huge factor that I am still considering is the head-to-head undefeated argument (like burntorangehorn said). With that said, I really really dont think that Oregon will move ahead of Boise if both teams win out. I just dont see it happening. And if you think about it, wouldnt Oregon have jumped Boise by this point (even after beating USC?)
Oregon already moved ahead of BSU
Which is a real shame, IMO.
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 4:30 PM CST up reply actions
So were style points more valuable than head-to-head and wins?
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 4:30 PM CST up reply actions
I've made my argument ad nauseum and i'm not going to rehash it over and over again.
Bullet-point and then I’m done.
1. I saw that BSU/Oregon game differently than some other people did. I saw it as two teams playing poorly and Oregon playing more poorly. BSU wasn’t impressive.
2. BSU has played absolutely no one other than Oregon and has struggled against both Tulsa and Louisiana Tech.
3. Oregon has played good teams and beaten the crap out of them.
4. So….BSU has 1 poorly-played win against a good team, nothing else particularly good, plus 2 game struggling against bad teams. Oregon has a poorly-played loss against a good team, plus a bunch of big wins against good teams.
To me, that equals Oregon over BSU. To you, it might not. That’s fine. But please don’t tell me that I have to value one game more than the entire rest of the season just because you happen to think it’s more important.
I’m done with this.
I think we discuss this here more than the Boise State blog does
We truly are obsessed with college football.

Very small step
Iowa was the best shot to not let a one-loss SEC team into the title game. The Hawkeyes lost and are done.
Now Cincy, TCU, or Boise over one-loss SEC. I. Don’t. Know.
--AW--
My gut says no on BSU
People were already letting Oregon creep up to or ahead of Boise. I also think TCU would be unlikely. I really do think an undefeated Cinci should stay ahead of any one-loss SEC team, though.
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 5:17 PM CST up reply actions
Speaking of going for two . . .
BSU scored last night with about 5 minutes to go to go up by 8, pending the conversion. BSU went for two. That’s absolutely the wrong call if one goes by the conversion chart, right?
Formerly kjm017
Not sure about going for 2
I know TDs are hard to come by in the offensively challenged defensive strong SEC, but there’s no great need to go for 2 there. Kick the extra point, and two FGs don’t beat you, and a FG of your own puts you up two scores.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 7, 2009 5:13 PM CST up reply actions
Commentator says don't go for 2
since 2 FGs beat you. Well guess what? If you’re up 6, one TD beats you
by goingforthecorner on Nov 7, 2009 5:11 PM CST reply actions
Ha. Yes, but they're playing Alabama.
I think 2 FGs are much more likely than a TD from Alabama. He’s just being realistic!
But there's too much time left to give up the sure point
I think you start going by the chart in the 4th

I think Oregon deserves a lot of credit for their turnaround
But part of the reason I felt like their win over USC was made a big deal was because of the reputation of USC and not how good they actually were. I felt this USC team was one of the weaker ones in Carrol’s tenure, but when Oregon beat them everyone freaked out. Of course, USC is better than anyone else Boise State has played, but it was amusing to see the media reaction.

This is a gem from that thread
Getting blown out at KSU is one thing, but letting a 2-6 mediocre team with suspect coaching and talent not on the level as ours beat you is not an acceptable thing.
Being down 59-0 five minutes into the second half against KSU is apparently acceptable.

Aaron Williams is my favorite defensive player
Over Thomas. Over Kindle. Over Muck.
But man, Peterson…Trevard Lindley…Eric Berry…Major Wright/Joe Haden…the SEC secondary playmakers are visually impressive.

But a lot of those guys have had a few more years of weight training and experience than ours.
Berry is just a generational freak. He’s like someone distilled the best of the Miami safeties of the early part of the decade.

TCU has more talent
But I think Brian Kelly’s the better coach.
In the end, I think homefield advantage would be the difference between the two. Probably Cincy at a neutral site.
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 8:37 PM CST up reply actions
Why do you say that?
Cincy’s having a down year, but they’d beat up TCU if they had Pike back, and it’d be a very close game even without him.
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 8:57 PM CST up reply actions
Should clarify:
Cincy’s having a down year in terms of talent. They lost a TON from last year. But Brian Kelly’s an almost unequaled coach, and he’s made a lot out of nothing. I think they do the best job at adjustments out of anyone in the country, and I think they’d beat TCU.
I’m honestly not sure what’s so impressive about TCU, other than the record. That is, although I think they do deserve to be ranked about where they are, I’d like to hear a case for why people think they’re better than Cincinnati. Is it because they’re from Texas?
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 8:59 PM CST up reply actions
That's hypothetical
arguing that if they had Pike and having a down year in talent. Sure, if they had the active roster they wanted, but they don’t.
TCU is good, and it’s not because they’re from Texas (or anything having to do with the SWC). As of last week, and maybe again this week, they have the #1 total defense and #12 total offense. You could argue about their schedule, but it is certainly tougher than Cincy’s and TCU has beaten the shit out of most of their opponents.
I would not be the least bit surprised to see Cincy lose at Pitt. Brian Kelly may be a good coach, but he doesn’t have the talent – injuries/grads regardless. TCU is tough with a lot of talent, and while they may not be better than Bama (see above), they deserve more of a shot than the other undefeateds, which I guess is now only Boise and Cincy.

Boise was a big winner today
The Iowa and PSU losses mean that the Big 10 will not have a one-loss at-large team available. And Notre Dame’s loss eliminates the Irish.
Assuming TCU gets the automatic bid and that the SEC championship game loser is a lock for an at-large, Boise will be fighting it out with a second team from each of the five major conferences, but it’s hard to imagine a second team from the Big XII or the Big East, and Miami seems to be the only plausible second team from the ACC. So quite possibly two of the following three get in: an undefeated Boise, a two-loss Pac Ten team and a two-loss Big Ten team.
funny to think BSU was a big winner

by Infield Elephant on Nov 7, 2009 9:45 PM CST up reply actions
doesn't matter
BCS ain’t gonna take Boise unless the rules require it. They’ll take Iowa if Hawkeyes lose to Ohio State, Buckeyes if Iowa should win. They’d take a 2-loss Penn State. And if Miami wins out, and they damn sure should looking at their schedule, the Orange Bowl would take their 10-2 before a 13-0 Boise.
I didn’t say this is right . . .
It'd be a shame if they went
They probably won’t get the automatic bid for the Rose Bowl, most likely. However, I guess it’s possible that they’ll get one of the at-large bids. Kinda sucks. The Big 12 probably doesn’t get a second BCS bid, by the way, unless Okie Lite gets help.
Likely bowl lineup, as it stands now:
BCS Championship Texas vs. Florida/Alabama winner
Sugar Bowl at-large vs. at-large or Cinci
Orange Bowl Georgia Tech vs. at-large or Cinci
Rose Bowl Arizona/Oregon winner vs. Ohio State/Iowa winner
Fiesta Bowl at-large vs. at-large or Cinci
As it stands, TCU would probably get the automatic bid. The at-large candidates, as I see it, are as follows:
UF/Bama loser
Boise State (BCS #6 tomorrow, I think)
USC (BCS #9 or #10 tomorrow)
Pittsburgh (#10 or #9)
Ohio State (#13 or #14)
LSU, Oregon, Utah, Okie Lite could all have outside shots.
With UT and UF/Bama winner in the BCS Championship, the Sugar and Fiesta would have first choice of the at-large teams. The Sugar would take the Florida/Bama loser. The Fiesta would be harder to peg, but I’d guess USC would be their first pick. Ugh. After that, the at-large selection order begins, and it goes Orange, Fiesta, Sugar.
Orange has Georgia Tech, and I think they’d go for the biggest money program, meaning Ohio State. The Fiesta would probably take Cincinnati. The Sugar wouldn’t take LSU to match up with the UF/Bama winner, so they’d probably end up with one of Oregon, Boise State, Pittsburgh, Okie Lite, or Utah. I would guess Oregon, believe it or not.

Pitt won't be an at-large

What do you think about Landry Jones in 10?
He flashed some potential – but looks like he will be a huge drop from Sam. Key question: Will Jones with some significant playing time be better than GG in the RRS?
I think Gilbert will have more blinders on
Jones will have at least one top-notch target in Broyles, and a few decent options elsewhere. Murray could even return. But the line will probably be worse, not better, without Trent Williams and Brody Eldridge. Sure they have youngsters there, but it’s a bad line right now.
Gilbert should have some nice targets as well, but it’s hard to know how the line’s going to look next year. Can Mack, Mac, and Davis cobble together a line around the remnants of what’s already a disappointing line this season? Huey, Snow, and Hix will be back. So can Allen, Poehlmann, Walters, Kelley, et al form a decent unit?
by burntorangehorn on Nov 7, 2009 10:51 PM CST up reply actions
Would Think Murray Would Go
Hard to believe he could watch what happened to Gresh and Sam and come back. Especially given his track record with injuries. He stayed healthy, he carried the team, he should leave. Broyles is definitely top notch.
GG is a better runner than most people know...
That in itself will be what separates him from Jones. I really think that Blake Bell will eventually beat out Jones after Bell gets a year in the program.The future is looking bright from here. Especially if we get Jeffcoat and Hicks.
Unless Landry is injured...
…I don’t expect to see much of Bell until 2013. Jones has a big arm and has done pretty well. Bell’s not so good that he’ll unseat a vastly more experienced guy with about the same level of talent.

The one scary aspect of GG
is the same we’ve had about Colt, really, his entire career — who the hell steps in if he gets hurt?
Gilbert will have either an almost-never-used Sh. Harris or a true frosh behind him next year. If GG makes 12 starts in 2010, we should win 9-10 games and could do better than that. If he were to miss half the season . . .
I'd feel pretty comfortable with fifth-year senior Harris behind him
I think Sherrod could drive the bus pretty well. He wouldn’t put up huge offensive numbers or anything, but he’s not so bad that it’d be like having to turn to Jarrett Lee.

I think a lot of next year revolves much more around what we do with our O-line, not so much our QB situation. Even if GG is the better athalete in the long run, whoever plays QB next year will be a step down from Colt simply because of al of his experience. You can’t just plug someone in and replace his relationships with the WRs, his leadership, ect. So, whoever goes in, a lot (more) of their success will depend on the OL. We were fortunate McCoy’s first year that our Oline did a good job of protecting Colt.
Colt's Stats
Wow. I hadn’t realized how different his stats were this year. I knew last year was crazy, but I hadn’t put it into perspective.
-Colt accounted for 45 Tds in 13 games last year
-If we play in the MNC, Colt is on pace to account for 28. Twenty. Eight.
Wow. That is a huge difference. And I should add that I think Colt is having a good year. He’s made a few more mistakes, and he’s probably been held back a bit by play calling and personel (wrong set of starting WRs), but he’s still having a really good year.
His Best Accomplishments Are "Lifetime Achievement" Awards
Sort of like the guys who get honorary Oscars when they are about to croak – even though they were like 0-7 when nominated in their prime.
Colt should be able to ride these facts to the Heisman:
1. Should be all time winningnest QB in CFB history (that good)
2. Should be all time most accurate QB in CFB history (that real good too)
3. Horns should be undefeated (really more of a defensive accomplishment)
So Florida or Bama in the Championship game?
And has anyone heard Stoops excuse with this piss poor excuse of a lost?
