rams80 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 BUt C-USA is allowed to be bad, because nobody expects anything from them. People have high expectations from The Big Ten.Who are these people and where do they exist? Or are they as illusory as an Oregon win over a good SEC team?The same people who had Michigan at Number 9, Wisconsin at 13, Nebraska at 17, and Ohio State at 16.Preseason polls are worthless except for crafting the eternal "FLORIDA STATE AND NOTRE DAME ARE BACK!" narratives.I know, I'm just saying, those people exist.Also, OSU downs UCLA. Not sure if this is good for the Pac-12 or not.Interns aren't people.

cshookemHORNS Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 This Miami at Georgia Tech game has gone from either really good to really bad or vice versa, depending on who you're rooting for. Miami led 19-0 after the first quarter, then GT took a 22-19 lead into the locker room, now the Yellow jackets lead 36-19 midway through the 3rd. There was also an interesting safety in this game. On the kickoff after a Miami score, Tech's returner attempted to kneel in the endzone for a touchback, but put his hand down outside the endzone, resulting in a safetyAnd Miami wins in OT 42-36.

Cola Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The Big Ten is to me the most disappointing conference this year as well as C-USA.BUt C-USA is allowed to be bad, because nobody expects anything from them. People have high expectations from The Big Ten.They do? Seems like a cycle of being talked up during the pre-season, floating through the regular season, then getting smoked in bowls (pun intended?).Only Notre Dame underachieves more. By underachieve, I mean in regards to the exposure they receive...not my personal expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 What the just happened in Pullman?!!I still want John Embree's head on a platter.I thought it was over when Wazzu took the 28-14 lead. After getting trolled by the Central Valley schools the past 2 weeks, you guys find a win in the middle of nowhere. I'll admit I wasn't 100% sold on UCLA winning today, especially given the fact that Oregon State had played only one game, which was the upset over the Badgers. The Beavers are definitely back as a competive team this year. They had a pretty solid program from 06-09(splitting against USC and Oregon during that timeframe), before falling apart the last 2 years. Conference play in the Pac 12 could be the most competitive this year in the nation.GO CATS tonight! (And Utes!)

crashcarson15 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Youngstown State finally downs Northern Iowa and Notre Dame does the same to Michigan in the span of less than five minutes?Best day in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Down goes #6 Oklahoma.Meanwhile, Florida State's basically got their game under wraps. Clemson was probably the only team that had a legit chance at beating them this season, so I'll just let my dissatisfaction with that fester away from this board.

Cujo Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I really disapproved of RichRod's call to go for it on 4th and Goal from the 1 1/2 when they could've just taken the 3 points in a low scoring game.Oregon's got their hands full with Zona, but I look for them to wake up and pull away from the Wildcats in the 2nd half.

Its only 13 and the Cats get the ball first for the 2nd half. Need some points to say the least. I have a bad feeling the "O" was a dormant volcano for the first half.

ninersdd Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Oregon volcano: exploded!The Cats defense was amazing through most of the game. Unfortunately mistake after mistake, 0-5 in the red zone tonight, etc, just makes this game a classic "what if" a-thon for me. If you only surrender 13 points to the Ducks through 2.5 quarters, then you'd better be on top at that point, but there just better in the end then the Cats.

thespleenenator Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well.... that was unexpected. I really did think we would lose this game. I can safely say I'm pleasantly surprised. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.
