Man I did a great job betting on LSU in this one. GT was favored by 4.5! And LSU is leading by 18 here.Make that "LSU is leading by 31 here".
I thought LSU would be good tonight and possibly win, as they had time to heal up, but this is re-goddamn-diculous.
I guess this proves that a very talented D-Line can stop the triple option with enough time to gameplan it.

Yay on both

My team isn't inactive due to me not giving a shit... it's inactive due to me coming to TSM infrequently and, when I do show up, the picks thread usually isn't here.
If the picks thread isn't up on Tuesday or early Wednesday and we've got Thursday games, that leaves some of us in quite a pickle, no?
New Orleans at Chicago (3.5)
Tampa Bay at Atlanta (3.5)
Pittsburgh at Baltimore (2.5)
Denver at Carolina (7.5)
(7.5) Washington at Cincinnati
(3.5) Tennessee at Houston
Detroit at Indianapolis (17.5)

KKK,
Am I (Cincinnati Bungles) supposed to take my assigned bye this week or wait until the team's actual bye in week 10?
I've got my picks done if so.

At least I'm doing better than the *real* Cincinnati Bungles.

Mark Sanchez's bad knee got rolled up by an Oregon defender. I think he's done for the year.Pete Caroll needs to learn to pull his starters out when he's up by 27 near the end of the 3rd quarter.
Jim Tressel learned that one in a painful way when he lost Beanie for nearly a month after leaving him in against a scrub.
Nick Saban learned that one after losing Matt Mauck for the year in 2002 when LSU was stomping the piss out of Florida in The Swamp.
And let's not forget Shula a few years back going for it on fourth against Florida despite being up big and Prothro breaking his leg on the play.
I don't think it quite sunk in with Shula... didn't he lose Brodie Croyle later that year because he fucked up his arm against some scrub I-AA team like Western Carolina? Or was that a different season?
-
I'm just like my team of choice under coach Les Miles...
I may lose a few games during the season, but I always seem to find my way into the Top 10 by the end of the season.

BOW DOWN TO YOUR NEW FOOTBALL GOD VANDERBILT!So is this the Apocalypse?
Not until Vandy sews up the SEC East.
At that point, watch out for a guy riding a pale horse.
-
Auburn-Vandy is coming down the final snap.
Vandy is up 14-13 with about 2:15 left in the 4th and about to punt to Auburn.
Edit 1- GREAT punt... Vandy downs it at the Auburn 1.
Edit 2- On the 1st play of Auburn's drive, Vandy intercepts at around the 30. This game is effectively over.
-
USC is currently down 7-0 to Oregon at home, though they've got the ball in the red zone right now.
EDIT - Oregon 7, USC 3
-
I've got 3 of the head-to-head wins I need this week. One more and I win this week's game.
(Illinois, Free Shoes U, and Navy all won, while Ole Miss came up short)
If Vandy, UConn, or Top 5 Mizzou win, I win this week.
Of those, Vandy is leading and Mizzou is heavily favored.

Alabama seems to have problems putting a complete 4 quarters together under Saban.
LSU seemed to have that problem as well under him.
Is this a case of Saban not using rotations of key players enough to keep them fresh throughout the game?
BTW, LSU probably picks up the 2nd slot this week due to Bama's poor 2nd half performance against Kentucky.
-
Gators up 17-7 in the third, but this has been a really uninspired performance. Is this team putting it on autopilot between big games or what? I expected a much better showing coming off of that embarrassing loss last week.Maybe the Tebow Train is just slowing down.
If so, that's good news for an LSU defense that's pretty battered right now, with star LB Darry Beckwith just coming back from an injury, DT Ricky Jean-Francois left the MSU game with an injury and didn't return, and DT Charles Alexander out part of the MSU game with an injury.

According to Wiki, the Steelers have RB Justin Vincent (from LSU) on their practice squad right now.
I'm guessing they'll call him up if the veteran RBs on the bonepile right now, like Cedric Benson, look particularly unappealing.
-
The Florida loss makes the Alabama/Georgia game that much bigger.Yep...
If Georgia wins, they get a 1-game advantage over the Gators in the SEC East in addition to the #1 spot in the polls.
If Georgia loses, then the #1 team next week will probably be Oklahoma or LSU.
-
Ouch. I know the Tebow dive is great and all, but man oh man, I think I would have kicked the field goal there.I think Urban Meyer was trying to pull a Les Miles and get a win by doing something crazy.
It didn't work.
(Miles continually ran Jacob Hester on 4th down against Florida last year, coming up with the 1st down each time on the way to a close win.)

Not always...
IIRC, the Peach Bowl games against Clemson and Georgia Tech in the 90s / early 2000s were something like 14-10 and 28-10, with LSU being down at the half for both.
The one against Miami and this one are fucking insane, though, as the combined total of the last 6 quarters for LSU in the Peach Bowl is around 78-6.
