2013 NCAA FOOTBALL THREAD

[LETSGOBLUEBEATMSU]

14-10 Wyoming beating Nebraska

[twi]

USF down to McNeese State 40-14...maybe I'll get my football fix from the NFL this year, how are the Jaguars supposed to do...oh, ok. When does hockey start again? Probably right after the Rays complete their late season slide right out of the postseason.

Just in case I start following the NBA, someone quick tell me who the worst team in the league is!

[LAWeaver]

Bama wins, onto the next one.

Whats new?

Bama wins, onto the next one.

Whats new?

Mark May was being all bitchy saying their offense wasn't that great. Who cares?

Also, Inferno Turf beats the Beavs. Love me some Eastern Washington.

[pats2000]

Not that you actually give two turds about what Mark May thinks (nobody does), but he gives Ohio State far more grief than anybody else in the country. He is incapable of objective thought about Braxton Miller or the Buckeyes in general.

Down goes #25 Oregon State! Haven't had an FCS team upset a Top 25 team in a long time (2007, I think).

[Kramerica Industries]

As a lover of upsets, I'm hoping the FCS' performance so far this week is an omen that we're in for another 2007-esque season.

Eww, no, not at all. 2007 was one of the worst seasons I have ever seen in the NCF levels because I don't see how anyone benefited from the top two spots in the rankings changing every week.

LSU lost their final game before the SEC Championship in three OT's at home to Arkansas. They won the SEC Championship (against, who, Tennessee? Georgia was really good that year but it definitely wasn't them) and managed to sneak in the backdoor because Mizzou lost to Oklahoma in the Big XII Championship and Pat White suffered a freak injury and WVU lost to a non-bowl Pitt team in Morgantown. Hell, going back further, didn't Ohio State losing their final game, at home, to Illinois?

It was stupid. The anarchy could be fun, but that's not the way football should be. I like quality more than anarchy.

[ninersdd]

Yeah they did beat the Volunteers in the SEC title game. Ohio State won at Michigan in their final game.

[Kramerica Industries]

I'll have to do some research on that. All I remember of that Tennessee team was how they got obliterated by the non-BCS bound Gators team in that 2006-2009 period. Must've been a horrible year in the SEC East for them to to get to Atlanta (in other words, Georgia must've had a WTF loss or two that I simply don't remember anymore).

And I should've known that Ohio State and Michigan is a yearly Big Ten finale for those two. That's a bad recollection on my part.

UPDATE - yeah, 6-2 in conference, same as Tennessee, but the 35-14 Vols victory in Knoxville was the tie-breaker. Florida only went 5-3 in conference that year, losing games to LSU, Auburn, and Georgia, all winnable games (to some extent) that denied them of really doing anything big that year.

[rvrdgsfn]

Virginia beat Brigham Young 19-16, Right now, Washington is beating Boise State 7-0. Either its me or TCU is bringing their A game right now or LSU is looking sloppy.

Georgia lost to South Carolina at home early on, then got smoked at Tennessee. Those cost them dearly, as they were playing better than just about anyone at the end of that season......

[Kramerica Industries]

Yeah, that was a really good team. Losing 16-12 to South Carolina, a good but not particularly great team, at home would qualify as that WTF loss I was suspecting. They would've had a very good chance of beating LSU at a neutral site.

Is it wonderful when the big game of the week (uga@clemson) lives up to the billing??

Remember that Bama/LSU game (I think) 2 years ago which featured all field goals? I wish I could sue false advertising. I love defense but c'mon. That was not good television.

Honestly, it wasn't Bama's offense that was that bad. Tech's D was pretty good, Fuller made some nice plays on Cooper, and the line just shut down Yeldon and was in McCarron's face all night. Plus, Kouandjio had a couple of holding calls... if only we didn't :censored: up the special teams.

[GriffinM6]

Can't tell you how excited I am for the Miami vs. Florida game next week. We face them for the first time since 2007, and it's at Sun Life Stadium as well. It's going to be back n' forth, but I have a feeling Duke Johnson is going to be the difference maker, and Alan Hurns will be the sleeper to have a big game.

Also, is it just me, or is UF overrated this season? Driskel is an okay QB, but nothing special.

It's nice to see someone other than a Buckeyes fan say that. The talk around here is that May really wanted to play for Ohio State but he wasn't recruited by us so he's held a grudge ever since. I don't know of there's any truth to that, but it makes as much sense as anything else, I suppose. The dude hates Ohio State with a passion.

Also, College Football is back! Life is good again. We've had a couple ridiculous upsets, a couple decent games, and to end the night, I'm rooting big time for Washington to knock off Boise State. A Huskies win means I won't have to put up with "Boise State's going to get screwed by the BCS" talk all season long. So GO HUSKIES!

I remember the BC-VT game that year. Thursday nighter, and Tech was up 10-0 and 2 minutes were left. We had that thing in the frickin' bag.

Then somehow, BC came back to score 2 TD's (and 1 was held back by a holding call) That game scared me for life.

Then BC lost the next game the following week at home to Florida St.

But we got our revenge in the title game, and we finished #3 at the end of that year. And we beat Kansas in the Orange Bowl.

If we had held on we would've possibly gone to the national championship. (Although everyone would've thought LSU deserved it more becuase LSU dispatched VT earlier that year 48-7 in Death Valley.)
