Colorado ....
....is exactly what the good Dr.HornChamps ordered for the game prior to the RRS. Coach Hawkins has them playing well. Perhaps they can get the team ready for OU, since our OOC games certainly won't do it.

Third Quarter in Lexington. MSU's other conference win was pretty convincing AT Auburn.

Yep
I've never considered changing the channel or leaving the house during college football on a Saturday afternoon, but it's crossed my mind today. Especially sad considering its raining heavily here today.

Cardiac Rest
Given the slate of games starting at 2:30, I think it's probably best we had a nice calm morning. Things could get hectic real quick.

A&M game is a whole lot more boring
than I would have thought. Considering these teams have both scored and conceded lots of points at times this season, I would have thought there would be a little more offense.

tOSU is vastly superior to PSU
but I'm not sure what that means. Its just as likely that PSU is just really mediocre.

Bob Davie thinks highly of Texas
He's the color guy in the ESPN2 broadcast ... talking about Ohio St, he said they have had a very weak schedule up to this point.
"If they would have played somebody like Texas early in the year they probably would have lost."
Bob Davie
Little does he know
by FreedomDip on Oct 27, 2007 8:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I thought that was a bit funny
I think he was just grasping for a name of the top of his head, and he was in the state of Texas; he looked down and couldn't bring himself to say A&M, so he threw Texas out to see if it flies.
It doesn't fly.

I've heard it stated several times this year
that Kansas is lucky, they have an easy schedule because they don't play Texas or Oklahoma.
I say its the other way around. Oklahoma is lucky they don't have to play Kansas.

wow this is TERRIBLE
Lets face it. Unless there's absolute chaos, we don't have a chance at an at-large BCS now.
Tech loses to Colorado and home and A&M's about to lose!? This is the worst case scenario for us. Now if we beat them, it won't mean as much because the computers will consider them crappy teams.

It's over, Aggies lose
Boy you talk about the worst case scenario for us. Tech and A&M lose today. Now beating them would as meaningless as wins over previous teams we've played.
by goingforthecorner on Oct 27, 2007 9:40 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not worst case
a lot of teams in front of us lost today (Florida, Kentucky, South Florida, USC, etc.).
At this rate, if we win out, we could be in the 7-10 range in the polls by early December. If that's the case, we could have a decent shot at an at-large bid. Strength of schedule only matters for the computers. If we're 7 or 8 in the human polls, that should be enough to keep a top-12 spot in the BCS.

Its not just the quality of competition
its also the level of intensity. Every game is electric. Its like playing the RRS every Saturday. At some point it just has to be exhausting.

RRS every week
That's a great way of putting it. hard-hitting, high-intense games every week before packed houses of 90,000-plus against future NFLers ...

by BrooklynHorn on Oct 27, 2007 10:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
My God you're right
I'm pulling a complete 180.
And it's not because Cal would jump us. Look at the remaining schedule of Cal/ASU:
Arizona State: @ Oregon, @ UCLA, USC, Arizona
California: Wash St, USC, @ Wash, @ Stanford
ASU clearly has the tougher remaining schedule, so we'd want them to beat this ranked team in Cal and then lose multiple games in the future. If Cal won, they might win out.
Change of plans... GO ASU!

Remember though
A two-loss Cal team looks better than a two-loss Texas team
Cal won AT Oregon and destroyed a Tennessee team that may play for the SEC title

So then...
Cal must lose here and then hopefully lose to USC or shockingly lose one of those road games.

CFB season
People beg for playoffs, and one guy tells me college hoops is better than CFB because of the tournament.
But in my opinion, every Saturday for 12 weeks is March Madness. Moreso this year than ever
The people who beg for playoffs are the teams that finish No. 3 and 4
by FreedomDip on Oct 27, 2007 10:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
But
There are also legit teams that don't have a chance because of this system. That should NEVER happen.
Exhibit A: Auburn.
I want everything to be the same. Rankings and all that. Just take the top 12 teams and make a playoff tournament of those top 12. The teams that don't make it get to play their normal bowl games. Nothing changes there. Top 4 teams get a bye. It's pretty much formatted like the NFL playoffs.
by goingforthecorner on Oct 27, 2007 10:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
To do that then ...
Then every conference has to have a championship game or none of them have one. It's not fair for Big 12, SEC and ACC to do it when other conferences like Big 10, Pac 10 don't ...
Everybody always brings up Auburn. If there's a playoff, it should merely be a plus-1 game. Two bowls that serve as a semifinal and then a BCS title game.
It always seems to work itself out. Ironically, as Auburn finished undefeated in 2004, LSU and Florida both won titles with a loss

Yes
Then every conference has to have a championship game or none of them have one. It's not fair for Big 12, SEC and ACC to do it when other conferences like Big 10, Pac 10 don't ...
Yeah that's ridiculous. Whether or not they change from bowls to playoffs or my idea (which is kind of a hybrid of both), it's a joke that only certain teams have championship games.

Georgia's unsportsmanlike behavior
I personally don't have a problem with it. I thought it was cool to be honest.
But seeing that the coach directly condoned it and admitted it, do y'all think the SEC will reprimand him and/or the university? Like a fine or something.
by goingforthecorner on Oct 27, 2007 10:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Richt
I think the first time was great ... but if other teams start doing it too follow the lead dawgs then the conferences should punish the schools for outlandish behavior
I thought it was great of him to do it and can't figure out why that's never been done before

Colorado Rockies are making a comeback!
I know college football is crazy enough today, but Game 3 of the WS is resembling the Tennessee/South Carolina game. Todd Helton used to be the QB of Tenn btw.
Anyway, Red Sox were up 6-0, but now it's 6-5 in the bottom of the 7th. Runner on 1st with 2 outs.
