Kickoff is soon, so lets discuss potential favorites to win it all. I like Notre Dames chances to win the championship.

Athlon Sports magazine has Oklahoma going all the way. After reading up on them watch out, they got Bomar coming back after his first year as the starter and they still got Peterson. Don't forget they have been stealing all the talent from Texas for the last few years, seeing how Texas always lost to them in the Red River Shootout (up until last year that is)
Personally I can see Ohio State taking it. They lost a lot on D but they bringing A LOT back on offense (QB, RB, WR, a lot of Olineman) and they are always a strong team anyways. Post W's againest Michigan and Texas and they should run the table. Don't see how they could be kept outta the National title game if they do that. Although, you could see 3 teams go undefeated this season. ND or USC (depending who wins on Nov 25), Oklahoma (outside of Texas, they should go right through their schedule) and Ohio State. Obviously one of those teams could slip up, but I could definetly see that happening. A team like Cal might even be able to win out, they open up againest Tennesse but if they win that game they could be crusing into the USC game.
If you can't tell, I love college football

But I hear that Arizona isn't going to be the doormat of the Pac-10 anymore.

It would be cool if Okalahoma won it all because then I would have seen the National Champions two years in a row. Don't think they will though.
It is hard to say who is going to be the team this year, especially since ESPN has been signing about West Virginia all summer. I think Notre Dame is going to slip up somewhere along the way and it will end up being an SEC team vs. either a Big 12 or ACC team.

Well it has been shown time and time again that is stupid, but when it does work it seems to gain so much more strength (last year, 2003 when it was Miami vs Nebraska) so it kind of cancels out the times when it didnt work out, even though failures happen a lot more than successes.
Yeah a 16 or 32 team NCAA fb tourney would rock.
Nah, that would be too much, but a tournament involving all of the BCS teams might be able to be pulled off.

THE UUUUUUUUUUU
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Four Miami Hurricane players, including running back Tyrone Moss and receiver Ryan Moore, were suspended for the Sept. 4 season opener against Florida State because they violated team policy.
Linebacker James Bryant and receiver Rashaun Jones also were suspended, coach Larry Coker said Tuesday.
Moore's suspension will include the second game of the season against Florida A&M. He was suspended for the Peach Bowl at the end of last season.
Coker declined to say what prompted the punishment.
"It's all the same incident," he said. "The message is pretty clear -- we have high standards here. We're a program of quality kids. And these kids are good kids. They're not bad kids. But we've got to get this message across."
The suspended players will continue to practice with the team.
"These players are going to come back," Coker said. "They're going to have outstanding years. I believe that. But it won't be the first game."
Moss, a senior, rushed for 701 yards and 12 touchdowns in eight games last year before a knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. He'll be replaced by junior Charlie Jones, who rushed for 507 yards last year.
Moore, a senior, started nine games last season and caught 28 passes for 464 yards and four touchdowns. Bryant and Jones played mostly on special teams in 2005.
"When you lose good players, obviously it has an effect," Coker said. "But our expectations haven't diminished."
The suspensions are the latest blow this summer for a program accustomed to contending for the national title and trying to rebound from disappointing 9-3 records the past two years.
Former top recruit Willie Williams has been seeking to transfer. Reserve safety Willie Cooper was shot in the buttocks by an unknown assailant but escaped serious injury.
"It has been a tough offseason," Coker said. "There are some things that always go on with a major-college program that you have to deal with. But the key is to deal with them. That's what I want to do."

Fucking idiots, I hope they lose to FSU now. Gonna be all on Kyle "Mr. Untapped Potential" Wright lol good luck with that. Kid shoulda just stayed in Cali and went to a weak pac10 school, he'd prob be tearing it up in every game (Except for when his team played USC) Why can't these Florida schools get better QBs? Brock Berlin? Kyle Wright? Chris Rix?

Yeah, he's a freak of nature. Some of those clips were against my team, but I don't really care, I'm a fan. He can throw it pretty well, so he had three threats. Run, pass, and catch. They lined him up split out quite a bit. Oh yeah, he can also ball.

I'm not sure if it's because everyone loves the Irish or not... but wasn't it written into the BCS model at one point (for the BCS bowls) that was the top conference winners + ND (if they had a 10 win season) that made the top BCS rankings. I know they don't (might not) do it anymore, but there was some extra love for ND because they remained an independant (and still choose to stay that way).
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-01-2006, 07:57 PM
I thought it was 9 wins in a season? I could be wrong about that but even so, that just gives them an automatic bid. They can still get into a BCS game as an at-large bid even without hitting that mark.
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-01-2006, 08:25 PM
A look at ND's schedule
September 2 at Georgia Tech - They are ranked around 35th in most pre-season shits, it is the first game of the season tho so they could be better than expected but I'd assume an easy win for the Irish here. I'd wouldn't call this game a cupcake game.
September 9 Penn State - Bringing in a new QB so I think ND should handle this game, if this game was happening towards the end of November I'd think it'd be a lot tougher. ND should definetly win this game. Same goes for this game tho, definetly wouldn't call it a cupcake. PSU has a lot of dudes coming back.
September 16 Michigan - Don't really know where to go with this game, Michigan didn't play up to their potential at all last season but this year could be different, right now it looks like ND should handle this game but that could change. Definetly not a cupcake.
September 23 at Michigan State - I'd say ND should win this one, I've seen Michigan State projected as low as 7th in the Big 10 but they are returning Drew Stanton as well as all of their LBs and CBs but ND should definetly win this one. Still wouldn't call this one a cupcake, atleast not yet lets see how Michigan State pans out this season though
September 30 Purdue - I'd think ND should win this one as well, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Purdue finish up in the top 25 when all is said and done...no Ohio State for Purdue this year plus Wisconsin and PSU on their homefield.
October 7 Stanford - Could probably call this one a cupcake, Stanford lost to a 1AA team last season, so yeah.
October 21 UCLA - Wouldn't call this one a cupcake, although UCLA did get routed last season by Arizona so who knows. ND will undoutbly be the favorite here but UCLA is another team that could possibly be in the top 25 once this game rolls around. UCLA started out 8-0 last year, so this could be a match up of 2 undefeateds when its gametime.
October 28 at Navy - Should definetly win this game, at this preseason ranking sheet I got infront of me Navy is at #42 - I dunno if I'd consider them a cupcake opponent since they've showed to be a strong team in the past.
November 4 North Carolina - Ehhhh, easy win here, probably call it a cupcake
November 11 at Air Force - Cupcake
November 18 Army - Cupcake
November 25 at USC - Could be a match up between 2 undefeateds to see who goes on to a BCS title game to face Ohio State.

They did have that clause, not sure if they still do though.
ND plays teams that tend to be tough each year, with a few that are pushovers every year. But how is that different from any other team in the country? Every major program in the country schedules some pussy D-1A or D-1AA teams that they can beat the shit out of every single year. So I don't wanna hear an shit about ND having a cupcake schedule, they're no different than any other team in the country.

SEC fans have also had an attitude tho "This league is so much tougher than all the others!" Not really, all the BCS conferences are pretty tough, some a little bit more than others. I wouldn't saying going undefeated in the SEC is anymore challenging then the Big 12 though.
Big East Champ did beat the SEC Champ last season as well.

McLean, Va. -- Despite having to replace nine starters on defense, Ohio State on Friday was named the No. 1 team in the USA Today preseason college football poll.
Coming off a 10-2 record and a Fiesta Bowl victory over Notre Dame, the Buckeyes received 28 of 63 first-place votes and 1,487 points from Division I-A coaches.
Ohio State has to overhaul its defense with the graduation of several stars, including the entire starting linebacking trio of A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter and Anthony Schlegel. But the Buckeyes have talented players waiting in the wings, and they return nearly all of their key players on offense, including quarterback Troy Smith (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=133648) and wide receiver and return specialist Ted Ginn Jr. (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=156844), both Heisman Trophy candidates.
Defending national champion Texas (13-0) is second after receiving 11 first-place votes and 1,378 points. But the Longhorns, who won a championship for the ages with a 41-38 triumph over Southern California in the Rose Bowl, have to replace all-everything quarterback Vince Young (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=135107), who left after his junior season and was drafted third by the Tennessee Titans.
Notre Dame (9-3) and USC (12-1) are tied for third with 1,348 points apiece. The Fighting Irish are entering their second season under coach Charlie Weis, while the Trojans begin life without quarterback Matt Leinart (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=120511) and running back (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=145158) Reggie Bush (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=145158), the last two Heisman winners. Notre Dame received nine first-place votes and USC one.
Oklahoma (8-4) is fifth with 1,320 points. The Sooners had the second-most first-place votes -- 13 -- but those doubtlessly came in before the news Wednesday that coach Bob Stoops permanently dismissed starting quarterback Rhett Bomar (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=161705) and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn from the team for being paid far in excess of hours worked at a local car dealership.
Auburn (9-3), which received the remaining first-place vote, is sixth, while West Virginia (11-1), Florida (9-3), Louisiana State (11-2) and Florida State (8-5) complete the top 10.
Miami (9-3) is 11th, followed by California (8-4), Louisville (9-3), Georgia (10-3), Michigan (7-5), Virginia Tech (11-2), Iowa (7-5), Clemson (8-4), Penn State (11-1) and Oregon (10-2).
TCU (11-1), Nebraska (8-4), Tennessee (5-6), Alabama (10-2) and Texas Tech (9-3) complete the poll.

West Virginia vs. Ohio St. is what my NCAA 07 dynasty predicts.
BCWWF
08-05-2006, 07:04 AM
Lol @ Bomar, dumbass. Either Texas or OU was going to be top four at season's end. I don't forsee any Big 12 team that will beat either team, but Oklahoma and it's inability to close things out just took a big hit.
As for Notre Dame, they will not win the national championship. BCS bound I would think, but they will have to go undefeated (obviously), and if more than one other team goes undefeated, Notre Dame is going to have to win all of it's games with authority. Join a goddamn conference.
Also, what happened to ESPN ranking West Virginia No. 1 in the winter. That was stupid. I think the top four teams, in no order, will be Texas, Ohio State, a mid-ranked team that will be better than expected, I'll say Georgia, and then a really random team, like Oregon. I don't think USC can remain top five, even if they do have good recruits coming in or what not, they just lost two of the best college players of all time.
Joey Slugs
08-05-2006, 02:06 PM
I think you are taking for granted that fact that even ONE team will go undefeated this year. It is never set in stone, especially in NCAA, that a team will go undefeated and win the title.
BCWWF
08-05-2006, 03:42 PM
But I am saying that Notre Dame, should they even lose one game, will probably be out of it a lot faster than a team from say the SEC or Big 12 that loses a game. That might not be fair, but I think that is the perception of Notre Dame. Because they don't play in a conference and their schedule always turns out to be weaker than it was preseason, one loss to any of those teams would kill Notre Dame long before Texas is killed by losing to Oklahoma or Auburn is killed by losing to Alabama.

No. We played Florida last year and play them again this year. West vs. East. Like that every year. We always play Tennessee and they are in the East. Vandy is in the east, we play them this year. South Carolina is in the East and we played them last year. If we only played within our own section, we would have 5 division games which would make no sense.
How many SEC teams are in the top 10 this year? Top 25? I wouldn't say we are the dominant overpowering conference that we once were with Alabama being loaded down with sanctions, injuries, and everything else and Tennessee having a down year last year, but I think we are still the strongest conference. Most teams have a few teams on their conference schedule who are no-doubt wins. They probably don't look at it that way obviously, but everyone knows it. We don't have that. Even with teams like Ole Miss, Vandy, and Miss. State looking like "cupcakes", they are upcoming teams I think. They always have good athletes and give good games. I think Ole Miss is going to have a pretty good year. Weakest teams I see in the conference is probably Vandy and State probably. Florida, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina - six good solid teams in one conference. Not many conferences like that. Maybe I am biased though.

The SEC probably does the same thing the Big 12 does. There are two divisions of six, and each year you play your other five division opponents and three from the other division. Then the other division teams switch up every two years.
As for the SEC being the toughest conference, there is no doubt that it is. In the East, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee are three of the nations premier programs. At any given year, at least one of those teams should be in the top 10, and when the others aren't, they are rarely bad. South Carolina won seven games last year and bring back Sidney Rice and a second year under Spurrier. They could be the next big team (although Brad Smith owns them). Kentucky isn't good, but they have had a few decent seasons, and Vanderbilt is probably the worst team in the conference. The West is equally as scary. LSU, Auburn and Alabama are arguably bigger national powers than the ones in the East. Arkansas is always a solid program, held back by the other powers. Ole Miss had one of the nations top recruiting classes, which most of should be redshirt freshman next year, and I don't know much about Mississippi State.
Think about the other BCS conferences.

So this isn't misinterpreted, the "National Powers" isn't a list of teams that are contending for the national championship year in and year out. It is a list of teams that have very strong programs, always have great recruiting, and are bound to challenge for a national title at some point within about a 10 year period. By challenge for, I don't mean they will be in the game, but at least ranked top 10 or higher at some point.
Also, this isn't a list based on what is going to happen this year. Tennessee was 5-6 last year, and might not be better than 7-6 this year, but within the next five years, if Tennessee doesn't crawl it's way back to the top 10 at some point, I would be shocked. Same goes for Ole Miss, who I could have placed worse because of recent years, but as a whole, that is a solid program that is held down by the powerful teams on top. They look to have a very prosperous next couple of years. The only team that I left out of the national powers that very well could have been there is Penn State, in my opinion, but the last couple of years really took them down.
The other thing about "National Powers", I listed 15. Of those 15, probably one or two will miss out on a bowl, maybe nine or ten more won't be ranked, and maybe five will be in the top 10, but besides a few random poor seasons, these teams are always good. How good, it just varies on the year. And that is why the SEC is so hard.

They'll be better than the last few years, no chance of competing in the Pac 10 though. Good receivers and line, no running game, and a vastly improved D. I think they'll breakout in 07.
Looking at their schedule:
BYU (L)

OSU (W)
at WSU (W)

5-7 (4-5). Who the fuck's idea was it to schedule BYU and LSU in September?
As for the rest of the league, I predict:
1. California
2. USC
3. Oregon
4. Arizona State
5. Oregon State
6. UCLA
7. Arizona
8. Washington

I kind of like their uniforms. They are different, but I think that is cool in a way.
Our school got new Nike uniforms last year, one of which was white on white. I immediately didn't like it because it looked just like Texas, and we are in Texas' conference. We used to have white on black pants, which didn't look as flashy but it was kind of a cool look. The home uniforms were black on black, but for Nebraska they broke out gold pants. They looked sweet, and the school hasn't worn gold pants for about six or so years I think, but for some reason they refused to keep them. Most fans like them.

Michael Bush, Jamal Charles and Adrian Peterson
All early season contenders for the Heisman, kinda surprised to see Charles on that list but I guess so. I was thinking Peterson was going to be the early favorite but with Bomar getting kicked off the team it'll be more of the same for Peterson (9 guys in the box) It's too bad because he is the best running back in college. Now I'd think the early favorite will be Brady Quinn, I was all about ND and that pick earlier on but I dunno - when I heard they where moving senior runningbacks over to LB since they where so thin I am starting to second guess that.

In the history of UT football 3 freshman have rushed for 100 yards in a game: Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, and Jamaal Charles. The record for most touchdowns scored by a freshman in a season is 13, which is shared by Cedric Benson and Jamaal Charles. Williams averaged 5.9 yards per carry his freshman year. Benson averaged 4.7. Charles averaged 7.4.
So basically what I'm saying is SHHHHHH
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-13-2006, 05:00 PM
I think the thing that is hurting Charles is that he was not the only featured back in the UT offense, now you would say the same about USC with Bush and White but I dunno I think that combo was a bit different.
V. Young 115 carries 1,050 yards
Charles 119 carries 878 yards
Taylor 76 carries 513 yards
S. Young 96 carries 461 yards
Melton 87 carries 432 yards
So they definetly spread the rock when it comes to carries, take away Vince Young and Taylor and Charles could be looking at a lot more carries. Not saying he shouldn't be a canidate down the road but I was kinda surprised to see him as one of the preseason canidates by a pretty respected media outlet (CBSSportsLine) Personally I'd put Darius Walker (Almost 1,200 yards last season) in there instead, but like you said, Quinn is getting all the pub.
Charles's average rush yards per carry is pretty ridiculous though, I didn't realize it was so high. He is fast as shit and trucks guy (just watched that 4 minute video I posted) I honestly didn't realize he was THAT good until looking up some shit after this reading this thread, guess he just got overshadowed last year by Vince Young and the fact that UT used a bunch of RBs.
Yeah, I don't think Charles is going to be getting the Heisman, since I believe that Selvin Young is going to be the starter at first.

You guys are downplaying the loss of Vince Young though, that is going to have an effect on the running game probably. I don't think defenses are gonna be too afraid of McCoy or Snead right out of the gate, so they are gonna have to prove to the D that they can get it done. That means the Texas RBs will be getting the Adrian Peterson treatment.
BCWWF
08-14-2006, 05:42 PM
I can't remember, but it seems like Vince Young would have opperated out of the shotgun, right? If so, does Texas still do that with the new quarterback? If they do, and the quarterback can't run, the running back is fuckedddddddd.
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-14-2006, 05:52 PM
You don't need to be super fast to run the spread offense (Check out Alex Smith) The 2 QBs they got right have decent mobility from what I hear, they aren't Mike Vick back there but at the sametime they aren't Drew Bledsoe either
A lot of Young's runs weren't designed run plays anyway, so I dunno. I think the fact that Texas's leading returing passer is "N/A" is a problem no matter what formation you line up in.
BCWWF
08-14-2006, 06:02 PM
No, but what I am saying is that for a running back, you are a fish in a bucket if your team is running a lot of plays out of the shot gun. From the shotgun, the receiver gets the ball with no momentum, making some big losses inevitable, and if you use it on the goal line you are just retarded. If you have a fast quarterback like Vince Young who can get out of the pocket and run 30 yards up the side, you don't put all of the pressure right down the middle, so it helps the running back too.
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-14-2006, 06:11 PM
Screen passes, play action, running back out of the backfield in the flats is a lot easier out of the shotgun. Which will help because the D will not be honoring the threat of pass at all. Plus it is not like its an NFL style Shotgun, the spread is different.
Another thing I don't even know if Texas will be using the same style of offense, I would think with less mobile QBs they'd modify their attack a bit but we'll see. Last year they didn't have a power running attack, you can tell by the huge average yards per carry that the tailbacks racked up, they use speed to get to the outside. Like somebody already noted Jamal Charles is Big 12 track champ...why would you try to run him between tackles? Either way if Texas is able to dictate their own offense and not let the defense do it for them they should be alright, if they have to start changing their style because the defense makes them, thats when they will be in trouble.
And I don't think they'll be running the shotgun while on the goalline, pretty sure every football team on the face of the earth has a "Goalline package" no matter what the style of offense is, Henry Melton will have no trouble in that role.

BCWWF
08-15-2006, 04:13 AM
Lol, the reason I made the goal line comment is because Gary Pinkel absolutely refused to line up Brad Smith under center for Missouri. Even at the goalline, he would run the shot gun, and it was awful. After every game and media day we would question if he was willing to line him up under center and it was always the same answer.
Again, I can't remember, so I don't even know if Texas did opperate under a shot gun offense. If they do though, the running back is screwed on any handoff. Lining up under center, the running back has momentum when getting the handoff. In the shotgun, he grabs the ball as he starts moving, and there is little you can do to disguise it. Basically you have to get lucky or else run draw plays to have running back success there, IMO.
If you focus on screen passes and the other stuff, that works, but I am just saying that on a basic handoff or pitch, it is incredibly hard for a running back to get out when he is standing still when the ball is handed to him.

08-15-2006, 04:52 PM
Well if you run a HB Dive out of the shotgun, yeah, its not gonna work. What is your point though? No teams do that. You do different run plays out of the shotgun then you do in the I formation. It is not like they are going to run a HB Toss or something either, since you do cannot do that out of every formation.
You can run out of the shotgun though, plenty of teams have proven that, its just a different style. Not saying Texas will be doing this because I'm not sure, but it is possible. Texas only used parts of the spread offense last season, so they weren't strictly a "spread team" like Texas Tech or Florida. So I'd assume they would be changing it up.

Well generally a shotgun offense is used to emphasize the pass or to open up the field for a mobile quarterback, rather than a strong running game.
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-15-2006, 08:06 PM
You can easily have a strong running game coming out of the spread, just not a power game. (Texas Tech's running back Henderson had 148 carries for 872 yards, 17 TDs)
You gotta be mobile to run the spread, yeah, but you don't need to be Vince Young. I am pretty sure the two guys replacing Young aren't stiffs in the Drew Bledsoe mold.

Introducing Jevan Snead.
Finished with a 23-2 record as a starter so he knows how to win. He had 7,955 total yards and 100 TDs in 25 games over his final two seasons. Averaged 318.2 yards per game and four TDs during that stretch. Finished with the second-most passing yards in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl after throwing for 147 yards and two TDs. Threw for 3,546 yards and 38 TDs that year. He completed 230 of 370 passes and also rushed for 766 yards and 23 TDs. He averaged 308 total yards per game and led Stephenville to a 4A state semifinals appearance and a 13-1 record. Completed 16-of-32 passes for 272 yards and three TDs while rushing for another one in Stephenville's 41-38 loss in the state semifinals to eventual state champion Highland Park. He surpassed the 2,000-yard mark in the eighth game of 2005. Tallied 3,025 yards and 29 TDs passing, while rushing for 618 yards and 10 TDs. He completed 181-of-304 (59.5%) and led Stephenville to a 10-1 record that year. In his first start as a sophomore, went 8-for-8 for 205 yards and two TDs in the first half against Crowley.

Ryan Perriloux:
Perrilloux had an incredible senior season, passing for 3,546 yards (225/342) and 30 touchdown passes and running for 1,460 yards (226 carries) and 37 touchdowns. He accounted for 69 total touchdowns and finished his career second in total yards behind Brock Berlin with 12,705 yards. As a junior, Perrilloux passed for 2,600 yards, 29 TDs and only five interceptions and ran for 1,274 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Not saying Snead isn't gonna be good but I wouldn't feel too good having a true freshman starting at QB.
The Outlaw
08-18-2006, 02:59 AM
Oh no doubt. He's no Vince Young but he won't have to be. Put up decent numbers, run the offense, and get the ball to the playmakers is all he has to do.
Perrilloux won't see too much playing time IMO. Kid could be starting almost anywhere else but decided to ride the pine till his senior year. Again, all my opinion...
The Outlaw

Plus, he's a punk and a prick.

I heard all 3 of them are still battling at LSU, I dunno how though seeing how Russell started last season.
And also if Snead is QB for Texas this season I can't see them doing as well as most are predicting them to be doing. He'll be real good in the future but I can't see him coming right out of the gate and playing good enough to win.
The Outlaw
08-18-2006, 03:10 AM
Yeah he's battling that other guy for the starting job I think? Not sure. :o
Russell is sick. He'll start. They have the best depth at QB this year though, no doubt.
Jesus Shuttlesworth
08-18-2006, 03:17 AM
McCoy or some shit, I'd think he'd start since he's a redshirt freshman but Snead came in a semester early (pretty sure he did anyway) so he might beat him out.

After I posted that list, I said I forgot LSU. I am not a big Michigan fan either, but it would be cool to see a game in a stadium that big, itsn't it like 109,000?
As for Texas A&M, everything I have heard makes it sound amazing. Maybe it has dropped a bit since they aren't as good anymore, but they have some of the most hardcore fans out there.
As for Virginia Tech, I don't know much about them at all, but watching them on TV didn't give the same feeling as watching a Wisconsin-Michigan game or a Texas-Texas A&M type game. I'm just not a big fan of east coast football at all though.
Thought A&M's crowd was suppose to crazy, pretty sure they started the 12th man thing.
Have you ever met an A&M fan? These are the same type of people that put on construction helmets and ram them into each other's heads.

Yeah I thought Washington might have a chance, but what it came down to was their QB just isn't that good. Things started breaking down after that was established.

By the way, this Penn State and Notre Dame game has been mad boring so far. The first two quarters basically had no offense at all, and then Notre Dame took over. I was hoping for more.

Yeah Texas, you're sure going to stop Ted Ginn with single coverage.
Georgia is gunna fuck around and not put South Carolina away here. Theirs plenty of time.
Failed QB Sneak on 4 and 1 1/2 for So Carolina. Good call Ball coach. I guess So. Carolina dont have any rb's on the team.
I think Texas has a case of the 'Laurinattis' tonight.
This has been a huge letdown; it has the feel of a Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens game.

Ohio State was the better team, and Texas not having those cornerbacks really killed them. Not sure how effective they could have been, but the Ohio State recievers were amazing.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Texas Stadium? It fits a lot of people, but it just has such a weird look. One side has a giant upper deck, the other is small, the stands on the end are small, I don't know. It doesn't have the same feel as a regular Big 12 stadium, it just looks like the Philadelphia Eagles field done wrong. I dunno, they should just put that giant upper deck on both sides, it's not like they would struggle to find fans.
Wow, CU might have the worst offense in the country

Texas not having a quarterback killed them. No other point should overlap that.

Rally sons of Notre Dame:
Sing her glory and sound her fame,
Raise her Gold and Blue
And cheer with voices true:
Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
We will fight in ev-ry game,
Strong of heart and true to her name
We will ne'er forget her
And will cheer her ever
Loyal to Notre Dame
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
NOTRE DAME!

Was the 2nd half good enough for you?

It was just as boring, because Penn State didn't show up. I'll give credit to Notre Dame, because they really killed Penn State, but this also isn't the same Penn State team as last year. Not nearly as good. As for Notre Dame, I have changed my opinion of them slightly, and I could see them finishing in the national title game. Brady Quinn did look a bit rough at times last night, but so did Matt Lienart last year. I think they will win around 10-11 games.

Well what else were they going to do, single cover Gonzalez?
You're saying you would rather single cover Ted Ginn than single cover Anthony Gonzalez?
I'm not saying either one would work necessarily, but single coverage on Gonzalez would definintely be the lesser of two evils.

Ohio State was the better team. Don't underestimate how good Vince Young was.

Don't be so sure about that. Gonzalez has much better hands and is more disciplined as a route runner than Ginn. Apparently Gonzalez also beat Ginn in a 40 yd race earlier this year. Ginn is explosive when he gets the ball, but for what it's worth Anthony "White Lightning" Gonzalez is the better receiver right now.
