NCAA Football 2010 Season Thread

[Legendary624]

It's almost here fellas. 13 Days and counting until the kickoff of the College Football season. We should be in store for another exciting season full of plenty of intriguing story lines. Will Alabama repeat? Will Boise St. run the table? Use this thread to lay down your thoughts and expectations about the upcoming season. Go Tigers!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Got some monster non conference games in the first 2 weeks of the season

Boise State vs. Virginia Tech
Florida State vs. Oklahoma
Miami (FL) vs. Ohio State
Penn State vs. Alabama


Can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait

[RP]

Purdue will win the Big Ten this year

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow those 4 games are ridiculous

[James Steele]

BOOMER SOONER!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Remember in 2007 when there were a grand total of zero Sophomore Heisman winners, and then we had three straight Sophomores win? Well assuming teams load up the box on Alabama and stop Ingram from repeating, it's a very real possibility that we'll have a fourth, and it's almost guaranteed there will be another Sophomore finalist.

Dion Lewis, RB Pitt (1988 total yards, 18 TDs last year)
Ryan Williams, RB Va Tech (1835 yards, 22 TDs)
LaMichael James, RB Oregon (1714 yards, 14 TDs although he's suspended to start the season)
Landry Jones, QB Oklahoma (3198 yards, 26 TDs, 14 INT subbing for Sam Bradford)
Andrew Luck, QB Stanford (2,575 yards, 13 TDs, 4 INT)


Andrew Luck will be the #1 pick in the 2012 draft. There's no doubt in my mind. 6'4 235 lbs with a great arm. Actually he might even be the #1 pick in next year's draft since he's a red shirt.

[Boomer]

I have absolutely no idea how Georgia will fair this year. I'm not a huge college football fan, but I still live in Athens, so its kinda hard to ignore. AJ Green is probably the only Bulldog guaranteed to have an amazing year.

[McLegend]

Utah deserves to lose this game for that stupid icing the kicker thing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Terrelle Pryor looked so much better as a passer last night than he did last year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>UConn has a shitty first drive but an amazing punt puts Michigan on their own 4. Michigan then easily drives all the way down the field for a TD.

Definitely got one of those "well, it's already over" feelings. One of those games where it becomes apparent early that they aren't ready.</font>

[RP]

bad throw by Marve. Was looking good until that crap.

[RP]

Comon Purdue. Lets play some defense today.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit. I know there are always blowouts in the first week, but Oregon is leading New Mexico 58-0 at the half. God damn.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit. I know there are always blowouts in the first week, but Oregon is leading New Mexico 58-0 at the half. God damn.</font>

I never really like the 1st week of college football due to almost all of the big name schools and conferences usually having a cupcake team to start the season just to pad up stats. I understand the reasoning since nobody wants to kill their season with the 1st week (ex. Michigan vs Appalachian State).

Its also always at home for the big name teams as well with a few exceptions each year (ex. Pitt away to Utah but Pitt was ranked and needed to prove its a legit Big East team).

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The ending to JSU - Ole Miss, oh my :eek:

[Innovator]

ERIN ANDREWS

[RoXer]

This North Carolina offense was embaressing to watch at first.

But now we got a ballgame

[RoXer]

Nvm

[RoXer]

Unreal

[Legendary624]

Sup fellas. Laptop has been broken the last few weeks so I didn't have the opportunity to post about opening weekend.

I got to attend the Clemson and UNC game in Atlanta which made for a pretty loaded Saturday for me. UNC proved a lot to me considering that they even hung in the game with LSU while sporting a "JV" roster. I don't know much about the LSU program but Les Miles will have to do a better job of 2nd half motivating if he wants his team to compete for a division title in the SEC. The Clemson game was typical opening day excitement coupled with lackluster play. With the loss of CJ Spiller, I can only hope and pray that my Tigers can reach 8 wins this year....at best.

Other thoughts:

1. The Ole Miss loss to Jacksonville State was inexcusable....enough said.

2. UF and Oklahoma will recover just fine after sleepwalking through their openers. Opening week always leads to overreactions by most fans and media members.

3. Oregon looked amazing. While they were playing New Mexico, its hard to imagine that they were missing arguably their best player.

4. Notre Dame and Michigan still have a lot to prove. Let's see what happens in their matchup next week.

Next week should be one of the better weekends of the year. Already counting down until Saturday.

[Droford]

This Boise State/VT game is going to be insane.

sounds/looks like the entire Hokie Nation is at Fed Ex Field.

[RoXer]

Sick uniforms from both teams tonight. Somewhere, Jesus Stimasworth is smiling.

[RoXer]

Weird material on VT's helmet

[Skippord]

Boise is not fucking around here

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Jesus, Nike just decided to ejaculate all over this game.

Also LOL @ this stupid douche on VT's special teams.

[McLegend]

Beatdown city so far

[Droford]

Boise is not fucking around here

Part Boise State being for real, part VT being to jacked up for the game and making dumb mistakes.

Boise's defense is pretty awesome.

[DaveBrawl]

I'm not liking these VT uniforms, I get they're in tribute to the original team colors and the Corps of Cadets and that's awesome, but I'm kind of sick of everybody having these black uniforms. Kind of kills the point of team colors in my opinion if everyone gets black jerseys with different color stripes even if it is a once a year deal like Nebraska or Georgia do, or even tributes like VT's. The maroon and orange was always a cool thing in my opinion, made the games a lot more fun with colors that no one else had.

That being said I am glad they have been able to fight back from that early hole though.

[Skippord]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[McLegend]

Sweet game

[DaveBrawl]

Well looks like VT got the early season choke job out of the way very early this year, I figured it would be one of the teams from NC that usually seem to get us. :lol:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Huge week for Big Ten football coming up.

Ohio State vs. Miami (FL)
Penn State at Alabama
Michigan at Notre Dame

Thinking OSU's D gets to Jacory Harris before Miami's D gets to Pryor, and the Buckeyes win a low scoring game.
Alabama will probably smash Penn St. in Tuscaloosa. BTW Bryan-Denny Stadium is officially over 100,000 capacity now.
Dunno what to think about Michigan right now. No way Denard Robinson can run the ball 25+ times a game. Still mad at gay ass Brian Kelly so I might actually root for Michigan in this game.

[RP]

OSU and Michigan should win. I dont know about Penn State. Havent paid much attention to there team this year. I think Iowa could beat Alabama, but Penn St, i dunno.

[James Steele]

:lol:

RP, get serious.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Penn St has a true frosh at QB. As good as he might be, I would never ever ever bet on a team with a freshman QB against Nick Saban. It's not gonna end well.

[McLegend]

Villanova football was asked to join the Big East? Really?

[Loose Cannon]

Armando Allen eats Wolverines for breakfast and snack time

[Loose Cannon]

I know it's been only one game, but the Irish's defense last week looked completely different (i.e. better) compared to last year.

[Skippord]

did they play like Middle Tennessee State or was it a real team?

[McLegend]

It was Purdue.

[Skippord]

oh well that's reasonably good then

[James Steele]

ROFL

[RP]

lolz Virginia Tech

[McLegend]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Nata Montana will not be as good as his Dad.

[Joey Slugs]

Crist is back and ND down by 7. Didn't take long at all.

[Joey Slugs]

Irish have a TON of momentum right now

[Emperor Smeat]

The Florida-South Florida game was brutal for the South Florida QB. 5 for 20 in passing and had almost as many INTs (4) as he did in completions.

Michigan vs Notre Dame has been pretty good but these games are usually good every year even when both teams were horrible.

[McLegend]

It so obvious that Notre Dame is going to lose this game.

[McLegend]

Nice job not kicking the field goal at the end of the 1st half... Idiots

[Splaya]

DENARD ROBINSON FOR HEISMAN

[Tiger Paw]

:lol:

We will know more about Notre Dame and Michigan when they play halfway fucking decent teams. Cripple Fights prove nothing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Alabama is actually playing at Duke this weekend. Dunno how Duke pulled that one off but good for them. I'm sure Wallace Wade Stadium will be rocking.

[McLegend]

Yeah Temple

[McLegend]

Jake Locker should have went pro

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LMFAO Notre Dame</font>

[Innovator]

Why would you not have someone play back in case something like that happened. Cmon it was a 48 yard attempt FFS.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>There's this one guy I'm friends with and every single time his team loses there is an excuse for it. Naturally the second that play happened yesterday his Facebook status is "Refs had it in for Notre Dame. FUCK THE BIG 10!"

Yeah, I'll admit that the play clock clearly ran out, but I've noticed that in college they almost always give an extra second for field goals. My guess is that the reason is because the holder has no way of seeing the clock or something.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Notre Dame never gets any breaks.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had a heart attack after the game last night. Holy shit lol.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had a heart attack after the game last night. Holy shit lol.

LMAO @ the stunned look on the Notre Dame marching band guys in the background. <noscript>http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=media%2Fapphoto%2F2ad692da-cc85-4962-b010-bfe57571457f.jpg&w=359&h=512</noscript>Just wish I could've found a pic of the look on their coach's face when the Fake FG worked to perfection in the OT. It may only be Week 4 coming up and we still have one nobody team to play, but wow would it be great if my Spartans could actually win the rest of their home games (I think they have like 5 more home games this season after last night...) and maybe even one or two on the road and contend for or win the Big 10. Great game last night between the two ball clubs and that highlight is pretty much guaranteed to be seen until the end of the season on highlight reels everywhere. Great "moment" in Michigan State football history.

[Skippord]

What the fuck was that Ryan Mallett

[RoXer]

Brent Musberger just said he raped him

He'll probly have to apologize for that

[Droford]

no one raped anyone in that game

[Droford]

for some dumb reason Im jumping OFF the Boise State bandwagon and on to the Jim Harbaugh led Stanford bandwagon, who are going to fuck up Oregon later on tonight.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

:love: @ GameDay in Oregon

9 am East Coast start time means 6 am on the West Coast. It was still dark out when they started. YEAH COLLEGE

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Lot of people calling today's game at Illinois a trap game for Ohio State but I really don't see it. Terrelle Pryor has more total yards and touchdowns than Illinois' entire team combined. Of course I'll look awfully foolish if Illinois wins now.

[Skippord]

17-13 UH OH SUPREME!!!

[Skippord]

oh, it's much later in that game than I thought

[Supreme Olajuwon]

awful

[RP]

IU could potentially upset Michigan. Ben Chappell is really good. People dont know about him.

[Corndad]

The end of the that LSU-Tennessee game was one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

[Droford]

14-3 Stanford about 10 minutes in.

fuck having to watch it not in HD though...who the hell cares about ND/BC

now its 21-3!

[Kris P Lettus]

Alabama is by far the number 1 team in the country.. Can't see any team stopping their run or being able to put up more than 17 points on their D..

LSU is the worst 5-0 team of all time.. Les Myles is a fucking idiot who got uber lucky yesterday.. How do you have a $3 mill coach who has NO 2 minute drill??

Ole Miss looked good yesterday.. Run D is still suspect but Masoli is the truth..

[DAMN iNATOR]

How 'bout them Spartans? 2nd week in a row without Mark Dantonio (this time because of being treated for a blood clot in his leg, for those who didn't watch or hear), and Don Treadwell's genius playcalling nets (then) #24 MSU a HUGE 34-24 win over (then) #11 Wisconsin to open Big Ten play.

Now to just go down and take out Michigan in the "Big House" Saturday.

[Emperor Smeat]

Looks like ESPN experts were right in saying regardless if Boise State were to pull off another undefeated year or be dominating in every game, they would actually drop in the polls.

Oregon takes #3 while Boise State drops to #4 in the polls although #2 Ohio State didn't move at all even though they struggled vs Illinois.

Theoretically, Boise State could drop even more since below them is LSU, Oklahoma, Auburn, and Nebraska for undefeated teams. Then a few 1-loss BCS teams and undefeated Michigan.

[Kris P Lettus]

Undefeated in the SEC is rough..

Auburn was robbed in 2004...

[Skippord]

maybe if Boise beats the rest of their opponents by a hundred points each people will respect them

[Kris P Lettus]

Maybe if they were that good with weekly competition up to their level, people would respect them??

Don't get me wrong, I like the Smurfs, but they'd be hard pressed to put 14 points on the board against Bama..

[McLegend]

They are good enough to beat Alabama in one game.

Now they wouldn't go undefeated in SEC though. Probably get 2 loses.

[Kris P Lettus]

No way their d Could stop Ingram and Richardson, let alone put up points on that D..

[Skippord]

Boise's defense is incredibly underrated, I'm not saying they would stop Ingram and Richardson. I'm just saying they could.

[Kris P Lettus]

I don't think anyone could..

Ingram is like Emmitt Smith on HGH..

[Skippord]

I was actually saying this morning that that guy is basically unstoppable

fucking monster

[Kris P Lettus]

Yeah, I dont care who'll get the first over all pick, but if they dont pick him, their GM should be fired..

Most of those teams will lose 1. Auburn however, is very sneaky good. OU or Nebraska will lose. Michigan's defense is horrible. They will lose. I wouldnt be suprised if they lose a couple.

It does suck for Boise State but honestly, there schedule doesnt even come close to some of these other teams listed. And Oregon deserved to jump them btw.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Mountain West looks good again this year so TCU or Utah will probably jump them as well.

[Boomer]

AJ Green basically solidified his top 3 NFL Draft status with one half's worth of stats last week. He will dominate in the NFL.

Gonna enjoy the last few games of his college career while I can. UGA is going to lose, so I might as well enjoy something.

[Droford]

Denard Robinson = FRAUD

also a pretty interesting game between Alabama and SC

[ClockShot]

Watching a bit of the 'Bama/South Carolina game.

Gamecocks' runningback is a workhorse.

[Droford]

DOWN GOES #1

Ohio St is the new #1 obviously

[Domino]

RAMMER JAMMER YELLOWHAMMER GEAUX TO HELL ALABAMA!!!!!

[Skippord]

Hook Them Cocks

[Supreme Olajuwon]

#1 in the polls, #1 in your hearts. THE Ohio State University.


Of course now the pressure starts. But who knew at the beginning of the year how lucky they'd be to skip Michigan St. this season?

Also Les Miles, Jesus Christ. Dunno who he sold his soul to but it's working.

[DAMN iNATOR]

The rest of the Big Ten season should be very interesting. Been forever since I've been this excited about a Michigan State team that's poised to take home the Big Ten crown.

[RP]

All i know is Purdue manned up big time last week beating Northwestern. Nobody in the country has injury problems like Purdue. 1st and 2nd string QB, gone. Starting RB, gone. Both starting WR's, gone. They completely changed there offense on the fly before the Northwestern game so that it was made for a running QB.

Danny Hope is amazing coach. I'm praying he beats Minnesota. Then it will be on like Donky Kong against OSU.

[James Steele]

Ok...

[DAMN iNATOR]

MSU without Chris L. Rucker (due to an OWI and violating terms of his probation, :nono:) on D could potentially spell trouble against Illinois this week.

[Droford]

Boise State for #1! WHOO

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Had that feeling about today. Everyone was talking OSU up and not giving Wisconsin any credit. But Wisconsin handled their business.

[Emperor Smeat]

BCS released 1st official poll.

Oklahoma is #1, Oregon #2, Boise State #3, Auburn #4, and TCU #5.

Initially it was expected Boise State would be #1 based on a the computers saying their strength and schedule was strong compared to their opponents and conference but lost a lot of support in the coaches and Harris polls. It also didn't help their quality wins and Nevada kept loosing to hurt strength.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/bcs

[Droford]

Boise State basically needs everyone else to lose about 2 games.

[RP]

Gotta love ESPN hyping a fake story to make news. All week long talking about Boise St. will be #1 in the BCS poll.

What a joke news channel they are honestly.

[James Steele]

Boomer Sooner

[RP]

The Gods have to shine on Purdue this week. I mean, Robbie Hummell tearing his knee again. Come on. Purdue needs this win over OSU. The Gods have to give this school a break.

[D Mac]

All the students on the field. WOOOOOOOOOO This is awesome.

[D Mac]

National Champs MISSOURI TIGERS

[Skippord]

poor guys, no matter how many games they win they still have to live in Missouri

[D Mac]

Where's Colorado? Oh that's right they aren't ranked.

[Vastardikai]

What does Boise St. have to do to be considered a #1 team?

Move to a 'stronger' conference?

Because clearly, beating everyone isn't enough.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Feel like Missouri should be penalized for having pants that don't match the rest of their uniform. Yellow and gold are not the same color.

[DAMN iNATOR]

WOW. What an amazing comeback for MSU to go 8-0 yesterday. If they can get by an extremely tough, and sure-to-be-pissed off Iowa Hawkeyes squad, it could be a 12-0 season easily. But, as Coach D says, gotta stay focused. One week at a time.

[Emperor Smeat]

BCS Top 5 rankings:

1) Oregon
2) Boise State
3) Auburn
4) TCU
5) Michigan State

After #4, the rest of the Top 10 is about 200 points behind TCU. Oregon has a strong enough of a lead in points to ensure at least a spot in the title game as long as they don't lose.

[D Mac]

Mizzou isn't even in the top 5 after beating #1? Gay

[Emperor Smeat]

Mizzou isn't even in the top 5 after beating #1? Gay

They are ranked #7 and behind #6 Alabama by a good amount.

[D Mac]

Well if we beat Nebraska next week, that should elevate them some.

[Emperor Smeat]

Posted the wrong poll numbers earlier since ESPN leaked the AP Poll and not BCS Poll. Hate when they do that since normally they just post BCS poll and then later the less important AP Poll.

1) Auburn (.931)
2) Orgeon (.906)
3) Boise State (.884)
4) TCU (.883)
5) Michigan State (.838)
6) Missouri
7) Alabama
8) Utah
9) Oklahoma
10) Wisconsin

Apparently the BCS and other polls over-valued the undefeated battle of Auburn vs LSU and the power of SEC to make Auburn jump to #1.

The way Boise State is being ranked means its almost impossible for them to be in the title game unless Auburn, Oregon, Michigan State, and maybe Missouri with Alabama lose.

[RP]

Lets face reality. Boise State wont ever play in a title game. They could win all there games by 80 points and beat 2 ranked teams a year, the NCAA wont let it happen. It's not good money.

It's sad, but that's what college football is today. Auburn is good money. Oregon, OSU, OU. All good money. Boise State is not. And they wont let any numbers show Boise State as #1 or #2. They'll give them #3 and a BCS game against TCU as a pat on the back.

It's just the way it is.

It's far from a given that Michigan State will go 12-0, but should they beat Iowa Saturday, they've got a pretty light schedule afterwards with Minnesota, Purdue and Penn State as the final 3 games. At worst they should finish no less than 11-1 unless they just completely fall apart in the last 4 weeks.

[ClockShot]

Nebraska and Iowa came to play today. Gonna be another interesting BCS after tonight is over.

[Emperor Smeat]

ESPN has been sort of trashing Auburn today during their game saying how they are not a championship calibur team mainly on offense once Ole Miss showed some toughness.

Earlier in the day, ESPN had been saying how an Oregon v Auburn or Oregon v Alabama would be the best BCS title game matchups. When Auburn gained the #1 seed, they never said anything bad about the team either.

[McLegend]

I knew Notre Dame was going to throw an interception there.

[Nervous Ferret]

Jesus Christ Oregon. These 227 uniforms or whatever they have. Just pick like the 4 best.
Why are they all white

[Nervous Ferret]

[James Steele]

Crazy fucking day today!

[The Genius]

Wisconsin at #5. They could easily win out against IU, Mich, and NW and end up with a share of the Big 10 title and a BCS bowl spot.

[Nervous Ferret]

College football is absolutely amazing. Every single year all the stupid analysts say "This is a crazy/amazing/unprecedented year". This happens every single year. It is madness, I tell you. And I love it.

[Nervous Ferret]

What if Oregon and Auburn both lose? What if?????????? They'd never stand to have TCU/Boise as the title game. TCU probably has to get the nod over Boise right now. TCU vs. Auburn/LSU. Would love to see Oregon/TCU actually. As long as TCU and Boise don't end up playing each other again in the Fiesta Bowl. ugh. Have to see these two vs. some real AQ conference teams

[RP]

I'm quietly rooting for LSU because you just dont know what Les Miles might try. I could see 4 fake punts and a couple 4th and longs happen in a BCS Championship game.

[Emperor Smeat]

Shockingly, its possible for LSU to actually reach the BCS title game without winning the SEC West division or SEC championship.

Auburn would have to lose vs Alabama and then vs S. Carolina (SEC title game) and LSU can actually jump to #1 or #2 due to how the computer rates things.

Some already predict LSU to be ranked #3/#4 once this week's poll is released to start that scenario.

[The Genius]

wisconsin projected for a rose bowl spot. oregon will probably wind up in the national championship so i guess that means Stanford represents the pac 10 in the rose bowl.

gonna be interesting game

[James Steele]

Until somebody runs into that fucking wall...don't care how much Allstate Insurance logo covered grass stylized padding they put up.

[Kris P Lettus]

So glad Auburn won..

No one wants to see BSU and TCU in the National Championship..

[Emperor Smeat]

Also ended up killing LSU's slim chance at even trying to be in the title game since the computers had a scenario where LSU could be in the title game without being the SEC champion or a division champion.

[Kris P Lettus]

Fuck LSU..

[James Steele]

Auburn would have to be royally fucked over by these bullshit allegations in order not to be in the BCS Championship game and beat Oregon. Cam Newton is unfuckingreal and I think Oregon hasn't been challenged by a legitimate opponent all year.

[Kris P Lettus]

If Oregon played the sec schedule they would have lost several times this season..

[James Steele]

If Oregon played the sec schedule they would have lost several times this season..

They probably would have been a 1-2 loss team in the pathetic Big 12 this year. I'm an OU fan and know the Big 12 is a giant clusterfuck this year. I really hope the Big 12 tries to get TCU and Houston to join and make it 12 teams again. Ideally, they'd try and get LSU and Arkansas but that'd be next to impossible.

[Kris P Lettus]

No way an sec team is leaving the sec..

[James Steele]

No way an sec team is leaving the sec..

If they cut them a big enough slice of the pie they would, but then they'd piss off Texas and OU and virtually fuck over all the schools that stayed (LOL MIZZOU...even if they whooped my beloved Sooners' ass).

If they added TCU and Houston to the South division and moved OU and OSU to the North, it would strengthen the North substantially and the South would still be pretty good.

[Droford]

Boise State's about to pull a choke job on Nevada who is pretty much their toughest opponent.

No way they make the BCS title game even if they manage to squeak this one out.

[Droford]

Holy fuck that was a Touchdown .. 80 yards

[James Steele]

GO NEVADA GO!!!

[Droford]

fuck nevada

want a broncos picksix here

[Droford]

That was another awesome pass play to set up the FG with 1 second left.

and they fucking missed the FG

WTF

[James Steele]

SUCK IT BOISE

[Droford]

god damn that Boise kicker fucking blows donkey balls

[Droford]

no more Boise State undefeated season

boo

[James Steele]

HAHAHAHA FUCK YOU BOISE!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!!

[James Steele]

KEEP LIVIN' IN 2007 BECAUSE THIS DREAM SEASON IS DEAD!!! HAHAHAQHAHAHAH

[Droford]

Im now a TCU Fan

go Christian Frogs!

[Evil Vito]

God damn I feel horrible for that Boise kicker. I've always heard that at big schools you get practically excommunicated by everybody for shit like that.

[James Steele]

If Oregon or Auburn lose and TCU doesn't get in the BCS National Championship this year, a Non-AQ school will NEVER get in.

[James Steele]

Go OREGON STATE!!!

Hate the Ducks, especially after OU got fucked over on that onside kick in Autzen a few years ago.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The Boise State kicker apparently already had to delete his Facebook because he was receiving countless threats and insults every minute.

I would never be a kicker. Total thankless job.</font>

Auburn won't lose to S Carolina..

How can you guys hate Boise? I want to see TCU play Auburn :(

Alabama/auburn was also a pretty awesome game

[Nervous Ferret]

Clemson should have beaten Auburn :(

[James Steele]

Auburn won't lose to S Carolina..

Oregon State could beat Oregon though. Especially if some tendons get torn...

Rofl Arkansas with the score at the end of the half

Miami (FL) fired Randy Shannon and his OC. It will be interesting to see who gets that job (as it is now the best job on the market in FBS).

[Emperor Smeat]

Sort of surprised when considering he helped clean up the image of Miami U football after the problems with previous coaches and got a 4-year extension at the start of this year.

The inconsistency of the team's QBs and weird coaching moves hurt him more especially with how their last game ended badly for them. Also didn't help all the pre-season hype about the team returning to glory meant it was impossible for another rebuilding or developing year.

[Droford]

Wisconsin's gonna get raped in the BCS later on today. Ohio State's gonna jump to #5 supposedly and take the Rose Bowl spot, probably vs TCU which is what everyone at TCU wants.

Why/How could The Blackeyes jump that high over Wisconsin?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If Jon Gruden takes the Miami job, the U will explode. He's such a good coach and is so much better suited for college than the NFL.

[Emperor Smeat]

NCAA clears Cam Newton to play in the SEC title game and if Auburn wins, most likely for the BCS title game.

The "WTF" part of the whole announcement is the NCAA basically said the pay for play allegations were true and half-punished Cam Newton's dad and agent by saying all they need to do is nothing and lie low (Cam's father) and verbally disassociate with the school (the agent). Auburn gets no penalty or violations either from the ruling.

If Auburn wins the BCS, will that make 5 or 6 straight years an SEC team has won it? I don't know why, but I think it'll be 6, but I've been wrong about this stuff before.

2010-Alabama
2009-Florida
2008-LSU
2007-Florida

Who won it in 2006?

[McLegend]

Texas

[Emperor Smeat]

With the way ESPN and others hype up the SEC, you'd think they have always won the title or been in every title game but the SEC didn't get that automatic spot until 2006-2007 season.

Before that year, the SEC usually ended up beating each other up in records with just 2 appearances before Florida in 2007. Now you get the usual SEC vs Big 10/12 except for the Texas-USC game.

The SEC is overrated like a mother fucker. It is 9-10 average to above average teams that beat the hell out of each other with 1-2 dominant teams every year.

EDIT: I should have also added, that is what EVERY major conference is. Look at the Big 10 and Big XII (and now Pac 10 since USC got neutered) - a bunch of average teams beating each other up with 1-2 dominant teams.

I will probably have a stroke of Oregon State or South Carolina (and Modern Football Coaching God Steve Spurrier) get huge upset wins.

Honestly, I'm pulling for the Gamecocks to win the SEC title also, just to screw Auburn out of a title.

[James Steele]

Just imagine the clusterfuck if they both lose...

Wisconsin/TCU or Stanford/TCU.

[Nervous Ferret]

nah Auburn would probably still play. Really scared of Auburn losing and the title game being Auburn/Oregon anyway

[Nervous Ferret]

Fuck Kirk Herbstreit talking about this exact scenario on PTI as I was posting about it on tpww.net

I have too much time on my hands, but...

I'd like to see a game between South Carolina and Oregon State.

Urban Meyer stepping down at Florida (again)

[Kris P Lettus]

Is he gonna stay on for the Outback Bowl against Penn State?)

[Emperor Smeat]

He's going to coach the bowl game and then make a decision on taking some time off from football or retire. The reasoning is due to health and missing his family but he did the same thing last year and returned 1-2 days later.

[James Steele]

He keeps doing this, eventually those players will shut him out and it will kill him in recruiting.

Cam Newton wins the Heisman in a blow out and after ESPN hyped him up as the best pick and deserving of a historical blow out victory, ESPN then writes in the article if he's going to be able to keep it after a few years.

They even said during the week leading to the announcement how it was a bad idea for voters to not vote for him but spent most of the Heisman article talking about all the off-field issues of him.

To be fair, Newton did have a great year on the field and in stats but you'd think the Heisman voters would have at least thought more about the potential for another voided winner or at least lessen the margin of victory.

[Razzamajazz]

if they included all the ballots that didn't have his name he would have had the 2nd most votes ever, if i understood that correctly

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Kinda excited for the Fiesta Bowl, if only because its UConn's first trip to a BCS Bowl. I don't expect them to win or anything but after hearing for a month about how they have zero chance at winning and will lose by 40 points I gotta think they'll be motivated.

Funny to think that the odds are that they'll lose money on the game. They aren't going to be able to get rid of their entire ticket allotment since most UConn fans don't want to travel across the country to watch a potential thrashing.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

NCAA suspends 5 players for up to 5 games next year with a 6th player getting a 1 game suspension due to violations involving money and NFL agents. Pryor was part of the group suspended.

NCAA also blames Ohio State for knowing about it and not doing anything about it but at the same time allow all the players to play in the upcoming bowl game. Violations go all the way back to 2009 so basically they won't get punished this year because NCAA and OSU knows they need those players to sell tickets and hype for the bowl game.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5950873

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The NCAA is really fucking stupid. First off I'll say that the charges are rather ridiculous. I don't see what the big deal is with selling shit off that you earned, especially since most of the players did so to help their family. NFL players sell their Super Bowl rings all the time, but a college player does it and it's a big no-no.

But even with their stupid rules, the fact that they are blatantly not enforcing the suspensions for the Sugar Bowl solely because of money is ridiculous. The Sugar Bowl is the Sugar Bowl. Do you think half the audience will suddenly say "nah" if Pryor isn't playing or something?</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Ohio State thing is so stupid. It's as stupid as the Newton thing. All these guys are Juniors too, so they can just bounce at the end of this season and never have to serve their suspensions.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This could potentially be a horrible NFL draft. Think a lot of juniors are gonna stick around since nobody seems to know if football will even be played next year.

Actually, I wonder if there are guys who are gonna declare, get drafted, sign a huge contract, and then go back to finish their degree as regular students while no games are played. Would be pretty weird.

I hate to even say that. :( I'd cry without NFL football for a year.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

ESPN has a report of how 2 years ago the NCAA really considered to tough up their rules and punishments for football but due to their lack of real power, couldn't do anything. The BCS actually pays the NCAA for the bowl games and for the NCAA to not get involved in daily activities like in other sports.

A big idea was to ban teams who had major violations from tv but the mess that would occur due to conferences and BCS tv deals meant it was impossible to be done.

Both the NCAA and the committee responsible for college football ended up deciding against the ideas (NCAA really hates using the death penalty for D-1 schools in the major sports).

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5954489
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5921518

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>So all of the Ohio State players had to pledge to return for their senior seasons (so they can serve their suspensions) or else they would have been banned from the Sugar Bowl.

lol that's completely fucked.</font>

[McLegend]

Lol swear? That's ludricous. There is no way they can actually keep them from going.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It was Tressel's call. He didn't want his players escaping the consequences.

Don't really see what's making them keep their word though. I mean I suppose Tressel could SUE his own players for breaking their agreement and leaving for the Draft early, but still. He blackmailed his players.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

He can't do anything about it, but if they lie to their coach's face, that really doesn't help their draft stock does it?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Besides, that move wasn't about those players, it was about Ohio State showing that it isn't trying to be above the NCAA. It's purely for show.

[Emperor Smeat]

He can't do anything about it, but if they lie to their coach's face, that really doesn't help their draft stock does it?

Depends on how desperate an NFL team wants to be to draft one of those players but only Pryor would have any chance of getting drafted if he decided to lie and leave.

More teams are concerned about the "character" of a person after years of off-field issues either involving a person like Vick or team-wise like the Bengals a couple of years ago.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Violating NCAA rules and then lying to your coach's face seems to be a pretty good basis for a person of bad character. Seems to show that someone doesn't learn from his mistakes.

[Droford]

lol what a terrible Excessive Celebration call on K-State.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nebraska involved in a payment incident with a player's father but unlike Auburn's case, the father also ends up owning the apparel company Nebraska uses for official merchandise.

The concern is the school giving the father's company 10% royalties as a way of guaranteeing his son played for Nebraska when the school was recruiting him.

In non-surprising news, NCAA doesn't find anything wrong or see it as a violation of rules since the player himself doesn't get the money (aka the Auburn excuse).

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5970508


In updated news, apparently Ohio State originally suspended the 5-6 players for just the bowl game until the NCAA stepped in to reinstate those players but with a deal to have them miss the 1st 5 games of the next season (6th player only misses one). Its similar to NCAA overriding Auburn's suspension of Cam Newton for SEC title game when Auburn vs Orgeon would generate more money than Oregon vs TCU.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LMFAO North Carolina with potentially one of the most epic fails of all time, pending review.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>They are spared, albeit a 5 yard penalty.

And the kicker sends it into overtime! Wow. Crazy.</font>

I love how retarded and classless Tennessee is. They keep fucking up and killing themselves, but they keep playing dirty and talking shit. And their coach is such a whiny bitch too. They were better off with Lane.

Anyway, it is a great day for Sooner Nation. BOOMER SOONER

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>aaaaaand Todman's going to the draft. Fuck.</font> :(

[ClockShot]

After the all the blood, sweat, and tears Randy Edsall put into the UConn football program..............he's leaving to coach Maryland.

Son of a bitch. We were on our way to being a big time football program, and he walks away to a job that's not even that great.

[James Steele]

:lol:

He won't be at Maryland long. He will be at a semi-elite program in 5-6 years if he can win an ACC Championship or 2.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow. My high school class president is on the UConn football team. Based on what he's said on Facebook, the UConn players are absolutely furious with Edsall. Not the fact that he's leaving, but he told Todman to announce his decision on the draft ASAP - and then proceeded to leave in the middle of the night without telling anybody that he was taking another job. He didn't even fly back with the team.

I've lost all respect for him. Hope he fails at Maryland.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

He realized once his best player leaves, the team is going to decline for at least a year or 2 and his value for a big contract would decline as well. Smart move on his part but horrible for his former school or convincing future prospects about being "loyal" to a school or program.

Happens a lot in college in basketball and football anytime a coach gets popular quickly from a small school and "cashes" in at a big school.

[James Steele]

While I completely understand the players' anger, that is the coaching business. Hell, it happens in high school football.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

He's more than welcome to take the job, but it's preferable if he doesn't run from his players like a scared little bitch.

[James Steele]

He's more than welcome to take the job, but it's preferable if he doesn't run from his players like a scared little bitch.

I agree that Edsall did it in a very fucked up way, but it shouldn't be as shocking as it is. I just can't believe he is acting like Maryland is an elite level job. He better win because Friegden got screwed and the fanbase loves Friegden and will look to crucify Edsall initially.

[McLegend]

This looks like trouble, Supreme.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

the fix is in

Arkansas must win

[Supreme Olajuwon]

also doesn't help that Ohio State is terrible
