2010 NCAA Football Thread

Now, for your Crazy Ass Stat of the Day:

The Oregon Duck (You know, the mascot) has now done 2,757 pushups for all the points Oregon has scored this season.

You'd think The Duck would be all built and badass... But, the mascot still has a little belly on him. That's OK, because I think everyone loves The Duck.

Does the Duck go on road trips?

Yes he does.

I'm just kinda sick of the non-stop constant hardcore blowing of Cam Newton already. Its like every saturday since week 2 is "Blow Cam Newton Day" of ESPN or ABC or CBS. I get it, he's good, he's a badass, he's big, he can run, etc.. can we just stop blowing him for one freaking saturday? Its like the world's love for the SEC times a million for one player.

Much like the NBA had no clue what to do when Jordan retired and attempted to struggle through with lionizing other (lesser) players a la Jordan, ESPN had no clue what to do post-Tebow and settled on grafting the Tebow model onto Newton.

I'm watching the Apple Cup on justin tv, so I can't quite tell -- is UW wearing black pants? If so, they shouldn't be.

The only exception is that unlike Tebow, Newton had to deal with a very big controversy. The biggest controversy Tebow ever dealt with in college was a freaking anti-abortion commerical during the Super Bowl last year. That's it.

Not really fair to compare Tebow with Newton.

is UW wearing black pants?

Yeah... I'm watching it on Versus. I can tell. Since when was black part of Washington's color scheme?

To be fair Tebow's insistence on metaphorically screaming "I love Jesus" was also off putting.

Plus, it could be argued that Newton is actually better than Tebow because not only is Newton as effective (if not more so) than Tebow on the ground, he's clearly better than Tebow in the air. So yeah, it's not like they just picked some random good SEC QB to fellate because if that was the case, it probably would've been Ryan Mallett since he already had a body of work. Plus, the two are similar in playing style anyway, so tit's easy for em. Still, Newton is pretty good in his own right, scandal be damned. So yeah, I understand the national media & the lovefest. Yeah it's annoying, but don't act like you didn't see it coming.

the team i live and breathe for, the one i give my heart and soul to, is going to play for a National Championship. I`m so proud of the will and determination of the team. Only thing left to do is finish. WTD - January 10th, 2011

[infrared41]

LaRangeRover James and Scam Newton are playing, so can we call this National Championship Game the Cheater Bowl?

Find a college football team that doesn't cheat at least a little bit and then you'll be on to something.

[Lights Out]

LOL, true that. Well, the non-AQ teams can't afford to pay players, at least.

No, they just can't afford to pay them as much.

EDIT: "LaRangeRover" I like it.

Boise State, of course. They should be in the NCG because they're the only BCS team that didn't cheat

Don't worry, you still get players arrested for felonies.

FSU is about to get rolled. And I hope that 'noles fan realizes that if Bobby was coaching this year, they would not be playing tonight.

He didn't bring up Boise State this time. You did. How about we give the guy a break and only bash him when it's warranted?

Well I think Oregon and sadly Auburn will put on a hell of a show come January 10th.

From the start of the season (via vegasinsider.com) the following teams opened to win the BCS title:

Oregon 20/1

Auburn 75/1

TCU 12/1

Boise St. 10/1

Ohio State 5/1

Alabama 9/2

[Seadragon76]

Wow. 75 to 1 odds on Auburn at the beginning of the season... There might be a few lucky people who may cash in on some big time cash should the Tigers win in Glendale on January 10th (Then again, there might be some who have money on 20 to 1 Oregon to win).

Oh, and I can now finally say this: The drought is over! Washington is going bowling for the first time since 2002. Bring on the Holiday Bowl, baby!

[dfwabel]

Here is how many teams rely on walk-on kickers.

Fixed your post. Can anyone but Auburn homers honestly say they expected the Tigers to get into the NCG at the beginning of the year?

[RyanB06]

UConn Huskies?

BCS?

YES!!!

[Lights Out]

UConn Huskies?

BCS?

NO!!!!

Fixed. The fact that any Big East team is getting an automatic bid to a BCS bowl game while far-superior teams like Boise State, Ohio State, and Stanford are fighting for a spot is a travesty.
