Clemson.

What's the story behind this?

It's a meme from EDSBS that stems from Clemson's inability to win a big game despite always having talent and potential, screwing over anyone who bets on them.

Deja vu for the Badgers.

Ouch. Can't imagine what it's like as a fan to lose back-to-back games in that fashion.

Seems like the people who bet on them are screwing themselves over, since they have this reputation of losing big games

Ohhhhhh.

Well, you're right about that. The weird thing about the Eventual Clemson Loss is that you rarely ever see it coming. Everyone figures that it'll come against a team like South Carolina, but they'll mess around and lose to a slumping Georgia Tech team.

Thanks for nothing, USC. Yes, I realize the game is simply tied, but Stanford has Andrew Luck and the momentum. I really wanted to see their hype get deflated, but it won't.

How the hell did the refs miss the most obvious holding penalty ever?

SC is just out of field goal range, with 9 seconds to go

At the time I posted that they weren't. Come on, USC!

(Note: this is the first, and probably the last, time I'll ever root for USC.)

[Kramerica Industries]

Stanford's hype, with 10 straight 25+ point victories, would seem pretty justified.

Doesn't hurt that the best player in the 2012 draft is their QB. Screw Lane Kiffin and the Trojans.

Definitely looked like Woods got out with a second to go. We'll see who's the better team in OT

True that, but Clemson is the Chargers of college football. Every year, you look at their roster and think that this could be the year, and every year, they torpedo that optimism with several head-scratching, bizarre losses.

Wow...I am SHOCKED to see Wisconsin fall again. NOW Russell Wilson's Heisman hopes, very unfortunately, are shot. I'm a huge Andrew Luck fan, but I was really starting to think for awhile that Wilson would make a close run. Oh well, I guess that's College Football for you. A climate can change from possible title run and Heisman to out of both pretty quickly.

[LetsGoOakland9]

Is there any better connection that Barkley to Woods?

[WJMorris3]

Beautiful week for Boise State it seems. While idle, Clemson loses, Kansas State loses, and Georgia gets an important W. Plus, they might still get a Stanford loss!

[Lights Out]

Again, thanks for nothing, USC. I'd like to think that voters will notice that Stanford had to go to triple-overtime to beat an unranked team, but we all know they'll just see the score with Stanford on top and that will be enough for them.

At least Clemson, Wisky, and K-State lost.

Wow...I am SHOCKED to see Wisconsin fall again.

Believe me, I know the feeling.

Seriously though, my hope going into this game was that the Buckeyes would at least keep it respectable. No way did I see them beating Wisconsin. Going in to this game, if you had told me that Ohio State would not only win, but that a Braxton Miller hail mary TD pass would be the difference, I would have politely asked you to share whatever drugs you were on.

Oh, and Mark May can go himself.

And with that, ladies and gentlemen, Oregon is now back in the national title race.

1-loss Bama or LSU makes it in way before 1-loss Oregon

What's with all the hate for Stanford?

Well, they can't play each other. We need LSU to beat Alabama by a little bit more than our margin, and OSU to lose. If Oregon plays well, they go in ahead of Boise, but if we struggle in our wins, I think we need Boise to lose.
