How do we not have this made yet? COME ON

Anyway the season has started and shit's already getting CRAZY

Northern Iowa is up on Iowa right now at halftime. Big Ten needs to stop scheduling I-AA opponents.

Lou Holtz just called Charlie Weis the most underrated football coach in the country. Wow

Greg Paulus putting in work right now for Syracuse against Minnesota. The Carrier Dome is rocking right now, crazy atmosphere. 'Cuse defense is swarming all over the place too

Up 20-14 at the half right now, could have been more don't understand that. They had 3 time-outs and they just let Minnesota run out the clock, guess they wanted to go into the break w/ the momentum and not fuck anything up?

This OSU game isn't making me feel too good about next weekend. The line isn't holding up against fucking Navy with their 230 lb. linemen. What are they gonna do against USC

LOL holy shit crazy finish to the Iowa/Northern Iowa game

Down by 1, Northern Iowa kicks a field goal on 1st down with :07 left and Iowa blocks it. But since the ball never crosses the line of scrimmage and Northern Iowa recovered the ball with :01 left, Northern Iowa keeps the ball and gets another chance. But Iowa blocks it again

does Notre Dame pay Lou Holtz or something, he's said Jimmy Clausen is a heisman candidate and that Notre Dame will play Florida in the national championship game

<font color=goldenrod>Bradford goes down...diagnosed with an AC sprain in his shoulder, an injury that typically keeps you out for a couple of weeks at minimum. I'd like to hear Jim Ross' opinion on the matter.</font>

also Navy keeping the game with Ohio State so close was a nice surprise

LET'S GO MORMONS

He was a former coach for ND and never really had anything bad to say about the club during the Willingham & Weis eras. Probably more excited that ND is finally getting better after their decline a few years ago although Notre Dame does have a decent chance to be in a BCS bowl based on schedule.

Which is ridiculous that they're held to the same standard as non BCS schools and can get to BCS bowls without playing anybody. Whatever though, they're going to get obliterated by USC and will probably get swept by the Michigan schools.

Big Game Bob Stoops better go back to the drawing board.

pretty stoked that the Mormons beat Oklahoma

I feel like BYU should get an advantage in all of their games being that they don't have any black players

I think Notre Dame's main problem with the schedule is they lock up series vs other teams more than anyone else mainly because of no confrence so in certain years the schedule is too easy while in other years its tougher than others. Every year they are guaranteed to play USC, Michigan, Michigan State, Army, and Navy and they never play a D-1AA school. If they were in a confrence then most of their schedule is taken care of except for a few non-confrence games.

<font color=goldenrod>Fantastic Miami/Florida State game</font>

Yeah best game I saw all week for sure.

Unreal game, can't believe FSU didn't score a TD at the end.

Purdues season will be defined this saturday. Do they beat a stunned Oregon team and build on the win and possibly get 8 wins this season, or do they lose the game and pack it in for the rest of the season.

They looked impressive against Toledo. If they beat Oregon, they'll be 3-0 with Notre Dame coming to town. If they pull that upset, they're ranked for sure and they're 6-0 with OSU coming to town.

Gotta beat Oregon first tho. They can do this. That team is stunned still. They got the offense to jump on them.

Mizzou stomps Illinois (again) to start the season.

USC!!

So much for Notre Dame playing in the Title game.

Also, I'll take Ohio State over USC.

<font color=goldenrod>LOL Notre Dame. Suck it, Catholic America's Team</font>

WTF Oklahoma State

So I heard something on sports talk radio this week about Terrell Pryor saying something like "everybody murders people" while defending Michael Vick..

If so, he is an idiot..

Also, even though I'm not a OSU fan, I do love me some Cameron Heyward..

RIP Ironhead

http://www.findagrave.com/photos250/...4899706556.jpg

I heard that too. The guys on the show were asking each caller when was the last time they murdered someone.

I heard it on WWL (local NOLA news/sports radio station) and "The Cajun Cannon" Bobby Hebert was going off about it..

Definitely worse than Clinton Portis saying it was just dawgs.

Mind ya bidnis.

Ohio State D playing real well right now, especially the front 4. This game is a lot better than I thought

Sweet, Missouri comes back down 20 - 6 to win the game. :cool:

<font color=goldenrod>If he gets 5 more rushing TDs, Tebow becomes the all time SEC leader, passing Herschel Walker</font> :|

A sad day indeed..

they were just dogs... vick got 2 years for dogs and stallworth got 1 month for killing a human

and Plaxico got 2 years for killing no one and shooting himself.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!!!

exactly haha

Makes sense, if everything plays out the its predicted Tebow is probably going to go down as one of, if not the most, heralded college football of all time.

Kevin Faulk is pretty high up on that SEC list I think or maybe it's the total yardage list. Don't sleep

Just looked it up. Faulk is 3rd. Kinda weird seeing him on the list next to Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and Shaun Alexander.

Man, Boisie vs Fresno is crazy..

LMFAO At the Bama turnover on the first play from scrimmage..

Fuck Bama..

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, what a retarded throw by the Michigan State QB</font>

Yeah, I dunno if it was Keith Nichol or Kirk Cousins that got us screwed over, but it really pissed me off. Should've played it safe and seen what a run play would get us (yeah, I know, no guarantee the ball carrier wouldn't have fumbled the ball or w/e but still), and if it hadn't been enough for a 1st, then we'd've still had a shot to tie the game with a FG if all else had failed, and try to force OT, but NOOOOO, our QB makes a stupid throw, and thus we're now 1-2 on the season.

Heisman dark horse this season is Tony Pike, QB for Cincinnati. Watch for this guy. He's nasty.

Good bye BYU & Utah's hopes for the BCS, knew some of these non-BCS teams would be dropping already

USC on track to play in the Rose Bowl once again but not the National Championship, seems like this happens every year?

USC chokes in one game every year

it's awfully weird

PAC-10 is too weak for them to be a top 2 BCS team unless they have everyone else ranked above them lose at least 1-2 times this season.

Utah and non-BCS teams are never going to get anything more than a symbolic gesture in high rankings since a Utah or Boise State in a title game means BCS conferences have to split BCS bowl money with non-member conferences. Utah only got #2 last year because the bowls were already over and because Texas almost lost to Ohio State.

Jevon Sneed

If anyone thinks tebow isnt getting the heisman this year your on something.... and i dont even like the guy

Jahvid Best

You people clearly don't understand what a darkhorse is. But thank you for mentioning the Heisman frontrunners. That really helped.

oh I just wanted to say Jahvid Best. did not read anything else in here

it's a fun name

Is Sneed really a "front runner"??

Yeah man. He's the star player on a preseason top 10 team and he's nationally known. That makes him at least a very good candidate.

Cincy wasn't ranked to start the season and nobody really knows anything about them. But they've beaten 2 BCS schools on the road and now they're starting to get press.

Steve Spurrier got in a load of shit when he picked Sneed for the All SEC team over Teebow..

:dunno:

Ok but come on that's Tim Tebow. Just because Michael Jordan won more MVPs than Charles Barkley doesn't mean Barkley was not a great player.

LOL are you fucking kidding me? You can't be serious with this line of thinking, you really can't

For a darkhorse how about the QB from Houston, Case Keenum? He had a huge year last year and now his team is trying to be the BCS buster. If they stay undefeated I think he will be invited for the ceremony at least.

I think Kellen Moore at Boise's pretty good

Bummer times for Ole Miss

Ole Miss was over-ranked. No way they are a legit #4 team when you consider which teams were below them in the Top 10/Top 25. Not saying they aren't a good team but over-ranked due to the perception of the SEC and their good QB they have.

I dunno I mean the only reason they got as high as they did is because a bunch of top 10 teams lost already. Plus it's always hard to win conference games on the road.

IU just got robbed at a chance to beat Michigan. They were down 3 points with the ball. Throw the ball and its caught by both the reciever and the cornerback and they both hit the ground. The rules are pretty clear. If both players have possession when they hit the ground, its offense ball. The refs called it an interception. They reviewed it and refused to overturn it. Michigan ball. Ball game.

I'm sorry, i know its a great story to see Michigan be a fantastic team again, but that was way to obvious. The refs stole the game. If you have a fucking system set up where a college team like IU has literally no shot a BCS bowl game unless they go undefeated or win there conference and you have refs who either a) dont know the rules of the game or B) are robbing IU with a terrible call on purpous ( which looked like it to me ), then IU has no shot in hell at ever competing in college football. End of story.

And i love ESPN too. They act like they didnt see a thing. Good job ESPN.

I think it was an non-reviewable play. Still a bunch of bullshit though. How do you get simultaneous possession wrong?

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck it, change the rules. Simultaneous possession will now be decided by the faster player on offense and the fastest player on defense running towards the ball in a scramble. Nobody has ever done this before...</font>

:shifty:

Oregon is kicking Cal's ass. Also, so much for Miami being back this year as well.

And I cant wait for Tebow to give everyone swine flu...

31-0 Florida after 15 minutes.

Kentucky sucks

Damn, how hard did Tebow get hit? They took him to the hospital.

It was pretty nasty hit, BUT I think it was worse considering he was playing with the flu and he was barfing in that red plastic bag on the cart out.

Jimmy Clausen is a stud right now

IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<font color=goldenrod>UGH fuck Notre Dame</font>

so #'s 4,5,6 and 9 lost and #7 needed a goaline stand to win.

#8 Boise St should be in the top 5 in the next poll.

Probably be Florida,Texas,Alabama,Virgina Tech,Boise St,LSU Top 6

I don't think the flu had anything to do with it. He was throwing up from the concussion, he was knocked out cold. It was one of the most violent hits I've ever seen. He took one right under the chin then on the way down an offensive linemen accidentally drove his knee right into the back of his head. I really cant think of anything else to describe it other than violent

No clue why Florida even had him out there by the time the hit occurred since they already had destroyed Kentucky. I think Meyer wanted to embarrass Kentucky to prove that Tennessee wasn't a tough game and continue saying it was the flu that made them play bad last week

lol Perdue hands notre dame the game with that timeout.

Yah Purdue is pretty much that team that comes close but no cigar, every single game.

It's disgusting really. I'm not even a huge IU fan. I just watched cause i knew IU had a decent team. There was no evidence to say that IU wouldnt have tied that game. To get that call wrong is basically robbery. And ofcourse as you notice, ESPN completely erased that play from there memories in every article about Michigan. Thats sad. Its kinda proof that no lower tier team will ever be able to break through. Way too much money involved for a cinderella to have its day.

Well Michigan didn't get too much of a bump in the rankings at least this week. I think they lose to State this week

Also Surpreme good call on Pike as a dark horse for the Heisman, Cincy just hit the top 10 for the first time ever.

Pretty much it.. They came into the season in the top ten cause of their win over Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl last year.. SEC road games are always hard but Snead played like shit.. D looked pretty good and Dexter McCluster is the fucking man..

I feel really bad for that USC RB who dropped a weight on his throat..

Stefon Johnson is the back, that's pretty crazy what happened - such a freak accident. I wonder how much it was? Those dudes can toss around some serious weight with ease, was probably a lot. He still can't even talk right now but I've read he's doing better which is good.

On a lighter note, watch this haha

Cincy plays Miami OH this week who are giving up 41 pts a game on defense. Should be a shit show.

Really wish OSU and Cincy would start scheduling each other regularly. The problem has always been that Cincy wants a home and home and OSU doesn't want to give it to them. That should probably change though.

I BELIEVE I read he was benching 275 at the time. Too lazy to look now though. Pretty unreal

USC is gonna rally around this so hard now though, gonna destory Cal this weekend. I'm seeing a massacre

Didn't Pike play last year with a broken arm or something?

I thought I heard something like that

He broke it but I dunno if he played while it was broken.

Just heard about the Yankee Bowl at New Yankee Stadium between the Big East #3/4 and the Big 12 #7 (or Notre Dame) starting next year. Another bowl game between teams with records close to .500..ugh

Jimmy Clausen is pretty good

he's a fricken studddd.


another comeback win. it's going to catch up with them soon

would love to watch ND play at the Stadium.

NCAA declared OK St. WR Dez Bryant is ineligible for the rest of the season because he lied about hanging out with Deion Sanders.

Cowboys are fucked now. Thought they might have a chance to beat Oklahoma this year but not now.

So stupid. The NCAA is a fucking joke and has no control over so many things going in the world of big time college football. Then a guy lies about eating dinner at Deion Sanders house and he gets suspended.

Not to mention they are very inconsistent on who or which schools gets punished. I think USC still hasn't been disciplined for the Reggie Bush/OJ Mayo issues. Kevin Sampson gets banned for coaching for about 5 years while John Calipari gets away with his infractions and Memphis U suffered.

WOOO Oregon! That's how you start a 2nd half.

Come the fuck on Snead..

He has looked like shit since the SC game..

Fuck Bama..

Jesus. Uconn can't even beat Pitt in football.

Damn you, Wannstedt!
