The College Football Thread 11/13 - 11/17

Iowa is finished. If we assume that the Big Ten doesn't get a second team in the BCS, Illinios has a very slim shot, they will have seven bids. They currently have eight teams with seven wins or more which will leave either Indiana, Michigan State, or Purdue looking for an open bid (Armed Forces Bowl is likely, Emerald and Texas Bowls also could have one). Hopefully no nightmare scenario happens to the Hoosiers where they get left out in the cold. They haven't been to a bowl game since the 1993 Independence Bowl.

I think Indiana will be the first of the 7-5 teams picked and end up out in Tempe for the Insight Bowl. I'd imagine any bowl would be thrilled to host the inevitable flood of fans who've been waiting 14 years for any postseason game.

[HarleyQuinn 0]

So there's officially 30 Bowl Games (not including the National Championship). Wow... Well, at least we'll see the upper half of the IA teams

[Bored 0]

Actually it's 32 (if you include the BCS Championship, which it is a bowl to itself), so you'll see the lower half as well especially when six Conference USA teams get to go to bowls.

[Hawk 34 0]

Ben Mauk, is not only the QB for Cincinnati now but also the punter. That should be interesting.

Can anyone explain how the hell Tennessee is 8-3 and on track to win the SEC East? It seems like I've seen them each time they've sucked hard this year (Cal, Bama, Florida) and also games like the SC game or Vandy when they barely stagger to a win.

 

UK seriously has to beat the Vols next week for a variety of reasons: The longest win streak aspect, to keep Tennessee from getting stomped to fatal hell by LSU, and also to give us a potentially good SEC title game with LSU vs. Georgia.

 

Glad to know Georgia would be better competition than Tennessee when the Vols curbstomped UGA(28-0 at half) in the head to head matchup.

 

I guess Georgia vs. Mississippi State would be the ultimate SEC title Game since both got destroyed by the teams that actually "won" ther divisions.

when are the Bowl Games revealed anyway

when are the Bowl Games revealed anyway

 

When the season is over. Most teams, especially in the Big Ten will have a good idea of where they'll be very soon thanks to locked conference bids.

[Mike wanna be 0]

Aye, the picks are done shortly after the conference championship games.

 

Bradford's out and TTU just went 60+ yards in a play for the lead down to the one.

The BCS reveal is on December 2. Invitations for the lower-tier bowls will go out shortly thereafter.

[HarleyQuinn 0]

Texas Tech has jumped to a 20-7 lead thanks to Crabtree's 21st TD. The freshman record is held by Marshall Faulk at 23.

UCF is going bowling this year. That Kevin Smith kid sure is good.

Bradford's return to the game seems unlikely according to Stoops. Oh well, 17 points to make up in the second half.

 

Watching this game though makes me reaffirm my hatered of sideline interviews during the course of the game. I don't care about people who played there 50 years ago, just show the game!

[Hawk 34 0]

White is making a statement for the Heisman by carrying WVU tonight.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Texas Tech having a pair of rushing touchdowns amuses me.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Aponavicious is really hurting BC's case out there. I know he has the "he was a fan, now he's our walk-on kicker!" story going, and made a few big kicks last year, but his lack of strength is forcing them to go for it on 4th in normal field goal range. Worse, Clemson's getting short fields on every kickoff cause he can't get the ball inside the 15 off a damn tee.

[Hawk 34 0]

I take back what I said about White making a Heisman statement. That pitch fumble gives Cincy a chance to get the game within reach and that's exactly what UC does.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

After a sluggish game, Ryan tosses a monster TD and BC's up 3 with 54 seconds to go. Overtime much? The second half of this game has been pretty good.

 

And Aaron Kelly drops a 45-yard game-winning TD for Clemson. Ouuuch.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

This Clemson vs BC game is pretty good too.

 

Clemson just dropped a potentially game winning TD.

 

Clemson 17

BC 20

 

0:33 left in the 4th.

 

 

4th and 10 for Clemson.

 

 

 

EDIT : Clemson sacked with 5 seconds left. 4th and 14. Gonna be a LONG ass FG if they try it.

 

EDIT: a 54 yd fg

 

EDIT: missed short.

[Edwin MacPhisto 0]

Cullen Harper had played a really good game up until that sack. Gotta throw that away; you just put your kicker in hell.

 

The kick drops about 5 yards short; the sack killed them. Ouch.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

Ouch. They called that an incomplete push out.

 

 

Play reviewed and stands as called on field.

Texas Tech having a pair of rushing touchdowns amuses me.

 

Texas Tech trying to go ball control amuses me. They did enough though.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

Oklahoma scores to put them within a score.

 

 

Texas Tech gets onside kick.

[Secret Agent 0]

Once again Oklahoma is hosed with a bad review call in Lubbuck - that was a TD. Oh well, without a QB we didn't have much of a chance at going for a NC, anyway.

[Slayer 0]

The sound you hear is the luster coming off the Big XII Title Game

[Secret Agent 0]

I guess it's Kansas' shot to loose now.

[cabbageboy 0]

At least we don't have to worry about a rematch of LSU vs. OU from 2003 though. I was in horror at thinking about that possibility.

 

I'm starting to get a vibe that WVU is going to sneak into the title game. They will be #4 and provided they take care of UConn next week (which they should at home) move up to #3 after Missouri/Kansas. At that point WVU can beat down Pitt and watch the SEC and Big 12 title games to see if one of the two teams goes down.

 

USF 55, U of L 17. Steve Kragthorpe actually managed to top the 2005 disaster in Tampa. Can we please fire this shithead already?

[Hawk 34 0]

I think we're gonna see a couple 2 loss teams play for the national title. It's the only way for this season to go.

[Nate 0]

ok December 2nd is the reveal of the BCS, I assume on Fox, but what time?

[Hogan Made Wrestling 0]

I think we're gonna see a couple 2 loss teams play for the national title. It's the only way for this season to go.

 

Which two-loss teams are going to finish ahead of 11-1 Ohio State in the BCS standings?
