This Week in College Football 9/27 - 9/29

[Bored 0]

Oregon ties Cal with seven minutes to go. Looking like it'll be a great finish.

This has been a great college football season so far. Upsets, close games...

[Bored 0]

Oklahoma loses, Texas is going to lose, Rutgers looks like it's going to lose, Cal and Wisconsin tied in the 4th. Five AP Top 10 teams could go down today.

 

FUCK, Oregon turns it over inside their own 20. No idea how much time is left as ABC's clock is stuck on 5:46.

 

And Cal scores, 31-24.

Even if Rutgers pulls it out, they need to drop in the standings. With their ahem preseason schedule followed by this outing (win or lose), I don't see how they could be ahead of USF to name one team off the top of my head.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Oregon driving deep in Cal territory and Dixon throws a pick. Only 2:20 left.

[Slayer 0]

Four minutes to go and McCoy gets the hook.

[Slayer 0]

Two in a row!

[Bored 0]

You've got to be shitting me. Oregon fumbles it at the 1, goes out of the endzone, touchback. Replay pretty much confirms it, although these are Pac-10 officials so anything is possible but it looks like it's over.

 

Call stands. Cal becomes a serious national title contender. Life sucks. Revenge soon.

Here's to hoping MSU beats Wisconsin for another Top 10 shakeup

#25 Richmond toppled #11 New Hampshire 45-38 in a shootout. Ricky Santos' running pass to the endzone got batted away. RB Tim Hightower had 4 TDs for Richmond and the announcers mentioned that Steelers and Eagles scouts were in attendance for NFL fans curious.

Scratch that one

Fucking maryland.

You know what's sad? After what I've seen the past 2 days I don't think U of L is really out of it in the Big East. WVU and Rutgers both got exposed, and even though U of L has basically sucked this year I'm not really living in fear of USF, UConn, or Cincy.

What's the Top 10 going to look like this week?

 

 

LSU and Cal are guaranteed to be there. Wiscy and Boston College are probable because they won.

 

 

 

 

USC, Florida, and Ohio State are likely, pending tonight's games.

 

 

Outside of that, the following teams are possible:

 

South Carolina, Georgia, South Florida, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma (around 9-10), WVU (around 9-10)), etc. could all end up there.

[iggymcfly 0]

Estimated AP top ten:

 

1. USC

2. LSU

3. Florida

4. California

5. Ohio State

6. Wisconsin (ugh)

7. Boston College

8. USF

9. Kentucky

10. Oklahoma

 

The way they should be (rough):

1. USC

2. LSU

3. Florida

4. California

5. Ohio State

6. USF

7. Boston College

8. Oregon

9. Oklahoma

10. Kentucky

Oy vey. The Ducks and their turnovers. Heartbreaking, but what a game.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Iggy how are the Ducks moving up after a loss?

[Secret Agent 0]

On the Oregon pick, I could see that. Wasn't UL ahead of Kentucky after losing to them?

[Vern Gagne 0]

The Gophers wearing the all gold uniforms.

 

 

[iggymcfly 0]

They aren't. The bottom rankings are where I think the teams should be ranked and I'm dropping the Ducks from #5 to #8. I still think they're the best one-loss team in the country though, and I still think they'll beat USC. They actually moved the ball better than Cal today, just got unlucky to lose the turnover battle 4-0. The last interception and fumble were both especially fluky.

Speaking of USC, ESPN just broke into Ohio State vs. Minnesota to say that Washington has nefariously intercepted JD Booty's pass and is streaking towards the end zone, thus threatening Numero Uno.

 

 

If this comes off, LSU-Florida suddenly becomes the hottest non-bowl ticket since Michigan vs. Ohio State last year.

Not just yet. USC/Cal could be big too if USC and Cal goes undefeated til then.

The difference is that LSU-Florida is a week from today. USC-Cal is closer to the end of the year.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Right, so USC/Cal would be closer to a "Ohio State/Michigan" ticket (as that was the end of the season too).

 

edit: But right now Auburn doesn't want that to happen for Florida.

[Hawk 34 0]

With all these teams falling, I'm just expecting Ohio State to sneak in and take a BCS title game spot. Sometimes I hate college football.

I still think you're misunderstanding the hypothetical situation...

 

If USC loses and Florida wins, LSU is #1 and Florida is #2, or vice versa.

 

That takes the shine off a Cal-USC game, barring upsets coming along before the USC-Cal game that would let USC back up to #2.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Ok gotcha. But USC isn't losing today, so you can perish that thought. Right now it's a similar stretch as the LSU/Tulane game. USC won't play lost all game long. And besides it's 0-0. So give it time.

 

edit: Maybe not...

Wisconsin drops to 0-5 with another non-blowout.

[Guest Smues]

UW is up on USC. It won't last so I'll enjoy it while I have it. And man do UW's jerseys today suck ass. You're at home guys, pull out the pimpin purple.

[Guest Smues]

And as quick as that the lead is gone. I enjoyed it while it was here. I blame the shitty throwback uniforms that look like USC is playing Notre Dame
