The Official 2011-12 College Football Season Thread

[OrangeHoof]

The summer is almost over and it is time to buckle that chinstrap and get set for college football season. Cooler temps. Coeds in sweaters. Endless fights over who should be #1. Gotta love it.

So, here are some questions while we wait for next Saturday's kickoff week of mostly cupcakes:

1) Who'll be the national champion?
2) Who'll win the Heisman Trophy?
3) Name the 10 teams you expect to earn a BCS bowl bid.
4) Which storied program is going to have the worst record - Ohio State, Texas, Miami or Notre Dame?

[OrangeHoof]

My guesses:

1) Alabama
2) Andrew Luck, Stanford
3) (in no particular order) Alabama, LSU, Oregon, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Boise St.,Wisconsin, Penn St., Oklahoma St.
4) Da U

[Nomad]

Here's the schedule for the season!

http://espn.go.com/college-football/schedule

[Nomad]

Kickoff this Thursday! I guess the QBs will be closely watched this year due to this being a supposedly great QB class especially Luck, Barkley, and Jones. Looking forward to some SEC and PAC 12 football!


The games I'm looking forward to:

LSU/Oregon - Tigers seem to be going deeper into the hole with losing their starting QB and few other players to suspension and now losing the best starting guard, Josh Dworaczyk, to injury. I hope the defense is up to the task because the offense isn't looking good. Ducks have their issues as well.
GO TIGERS!

Boise St/Georgia - Don't let the SEC down Bulldogs!

Idaho St/Wash St - I hope Cougs can get off to a good start against a cupcake.....if not, then it's going to be another long year!

Colorado/Hawaii - Welcome to the Pac 12 Buffs! Can CU actually win a road game for a change?!?

Stanford, USC, and OU games.......anything less than blowouts will be disappointing for Luck, Barkley and Jones!

[Nomad]

Well, BTB, Miss St has gotten off to a good start kicking the crap out of Memphis.....and some pundits thought this would be an upset special!:lol:

[Nomad]

For those interested, here's a tv schedule of college games throughout the season.......I know it's subject to change.

http://lsufootball.net/tvschedule.htm

[MOtorboat]

1) Who'll be the national champion? Oklahoma
2) Who'll win the Heisman Trophy?
Landry Jones
3) Name the 10 teams you expect to earn a BCS bowl bid.
NC Game - Oklahoma over Alabama
Rose Bowl - Nebraska over Stanford
Sugar Bowl - Georgia over Boise State (revenge for the Bulldogs)
Orange Bowl - Texas over South Florida
Fiesta Bowl - TCU over Oregon
4) Which storied program is going to have the worst record - Ohio State, Texas, Miami or Notre Dame? Ohio State

[Nomad]

OH, you think Baylor is going to upset TCU? Pollard from ESPNU thinks so......game on in 15 min. I don't think so, but you know the Big 12 and does TCU have the talent like last year.

[West]

4) Which storied program is going to have the worst record - Ohio State, Texas, Miami or Notre Dame?

1. Alabama

The defense will be better than '09's. Returning 4 OLmen, returning the best back in the NCAA.

2. Trent Richardson Alabama

3. I don't know

4. Miami.

[Nomad]

WOW!:shocked: David Pollard was right......47-23 Baylor over TCU late in
3rd quarter.

[Northman]

TCU is getting worked. Another reason i hate rankings this early. lol

[Northman]

Cheap shot by Baylor. Just trying to give the game away now. lol

[Nomad]

Cheap shot by Baylor. Just trying to give the game away now. lol

:lol:I have a feeling Baylor's gonna have a big choke job!

[Northman]

:lol:I have a feeling Baylor's gonna have a big choke job!

Yep. Looks that way. They were rolling.

[Nomad]

Yep. Looks that way. They were rolling.

You know this is nice North.....it's only 7:15 here where as I'd probably be asleep if I still lived in Minot and missing a game like this. I'm not a night person....I use to be 15 yrs ago;):lol:

[Northman]

Yea, im sometimes a night person but definitely not a early morning person. lol

[Northman]

Baylor trying to hold on. 50-48 but TCU driving.

[Northman]

Jesus, this QB for TCU is going to have some trouble this year.

[Northman]

Lol, yea. The TCU QB is bad. He's been all over the place tonight as he just threw a pick to end the game. Didnt even give his kicker a chance. 50-48 Baylor upsets the *Coughnumber14thrankedteamCough*.

[Nomad]

I had to go get my younger son from football practice so I missed the end of the game.

Heck of a choke job by Baylor to be up by 24 pts and have TCU take the lead in the 4th. Oh well, Baylor pulled off the upset....good for them.

[MOtorboat]

Not everyone can choke away a game like CU. It's truly an art form.

I missed the game though. Covered a game tonight, No. 2 vs. No. 3 in the state, double OT thriller, came down to a turnover on downs and a field goal. Great game.

I'm so glad football is here.

[Nomad]

I didn't watch too many CU games last year, they've become :boring:. Hawaii will give them everything they can handle and possibly a loss.

Should be a good day of football! I have the Tiger/Ducks game a toss up....hopefully LSU doesn't start off slow like they usually do because I believe they have to either slow the Ducks or keep ahead of the Ducks pace and Tigers have to score more points to win:D.

Sorry, Dawg fans, Lee Corso chose you guys to beat Boise.....that's like seeing your death before it hits you.

GO COUGS!

[Northman]

Sadly, i think Corso may be right though. I think the Dawgs win that game.

[Northman]

Hmm, Auburn finds themselves down to Utah St. early.

[Northman]

Man, BYU got lucky as shit today. Same with Auburn.

[Tned]

I thought the Razorback game was 7:00 Central, but it was Eastern. Not that it was going to be much of a game anyway.

[Northman]

At 20-0 i dont think so either. lol

[Northman]

I got to say, i LOVE the uniforms that both Georgia and Boise St. are wearing tonight. Freeking awesome.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

If anyone is going to watch the LSU/Oregon game - you had better be NICE to the Head Referee - ya hear :D

[Northman]

Im watching that game but right now both teams are nervous as all get out.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Im watching that game but right now both teams are nervous as all get out.

Wonder if it is because they are playing the game in "Jerry's Palace" :D

[Northman]

Good job by Virginia against William and Mary. Not a world beater but we are starting a young QB and a lot of young players and won 40-3.

Also looks like Georgia/Boise St. and LSU/Oregon are settling down now.

[Northman]

I know a lot of people are down on my pick in my "early" mock draft of South Carolina's Qb Stephen Garcia but he didnt start vs ECU and has given the Cocks the lead with 3 TD's (2 passing, 1 rushing) in the second half. Ironically, Spurrier was quoted as saying the other QB looked better in "practice" yet on gameday look who is playing better? I know, i love Rav but i had to go there.

[Northman]

Great score for the Broncos, that TE is a BEAST.

[Nomad]

Wonder if it is because they are playing the game in "Jerry's Palace" :D

Carol......who is that head ref?:ponder::)



LSU getting worked!:tsk:

[Northman]

LSU winning though and thats all that matters.

[Nomad]

LSU winning though and thats all that matters.

Yeah, I go "angry fan" and they score :lol:

Boise winning!:tsk: BTW ChampWJ.......the Dawgs unis suck.......they shoulda went old school unis!

[Northman]

Yeah, I go "angry fan" and they score :lol:

Boise winning!:tsk: BTW ChampWJ.......the Dawgs unis suck.......they shoulda went old school unis!

Actually, i disagree. I LOVE the new dawg uniforms. The old ones are stale and boring.

[Northman]

Lol, USC barely got by Minny. hahahahahaha, oh man. They are going to struggle this year if they have to play any real team.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

I agree with Nomad on Georgia's unis - just a little TOO much :eek:

[Nomad]

Actually, i disagree. I LOVE the new dawg uniforms. The old ones are stale and boring.

I know I'm an old fogey:lol:. Come on Dawgs!

Luck and Stanford lite it up tonight...........it was expected!!

[Northman]

Lol, Notre Dame lost. Sweet. I love seeing their epic fails.

[Northman]

I knew LSU was going to give Oregon fits. Auburn gave the blueprint for beating a speed team. I thought Georgia would flex a little more muscle against Boise St. but they are one of the most inconsistent teams of the SEC so not totally shocking they are losing. As talented as Boykin is he should probably not text the opposing teams coach anymore. lol

LSU- 30
Oregon- 13

Boise St. 28
Georgia- 14

[MOtorboat]

Hansen sucks.

[Northman]

Hansen sucks.

You watching the Colorado/Hawaii game? Im going to watch some of that after these games.

[Northman]

Dude, Les Myles is getting WAY to conservative right now.

[Northman]

Michael Ford just killing Oregon. Nice and convincing win for LSU. Grats Nomad.

[MOtorboat]

Hansen sucks.

You watching the Colorado/Hawaii game? Im going to watch some of that after these games.

Yeah, I like the philosophy that Embree/Bienemy want to bring, smash-mouth football, but Hansen just is not that type of quarterback. Hell, he's so small that when he goes under center all you can see is his head. Not that that matters when you're just handing off, but still. He's a zone-read QB in a pro-style offense. I think we all know how that goes :(

Yea, i dont know how young their RB back is but man on one play he kept running towards the sideline instead of cutting it up and gaining some yards. I know it killed one of their drives but right now CU looks awful.

[MOtorboat]

Rodney Stewart has been around a long time...he should be a senior. Good tailback, he should fit well in this system. Tyler Hansen not so much.

[MOtorboat]

The leading passer during last year's NCAA season has three rushing touchdowns and well over 100 yards on the ground against CU.

Pathetic.

And really? 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty for high-fiving the fans along the side of the end zone? That's terrible.

[Thnikkaman]

I'm looking forward to Iowa vs. Nebraska.

[MOtorboat]

I'm looking forward to Iowa vs. Nebraska.

I don't think you're going to enjoy that much.

[Northman]

I hope Iowa beats Nebraska.

[OrangeHoof]

It is fun during opening week to see which programs get bit by some podunk school they thought was a cupcake. Oregon St. probably gets this year's award - losing to Sacramento State. Texas Tech was losing to a Southland Conference team in their opener before waking up in the second half and winning in a rout. Utah St. and East Carolina came close against ranked SEC schools but eventually fell.

All in all, a light week but entertaining because we're just so happy to see football back.

[Nomad]

Shout out to WAZZU.........64-21 win over Idaho St. That's how you beat the cupcakes!:lol:

[ChampWJ]

Nomad, big win for LSU! As far as the UGA game goes, hated the uniforms but hated the performance even more. New year, same unmotivated, undisciplined team that we are too used to.

Read an interesting quote in an SI article today which really sums up why we are so frustrated as fans.
A program that enjoys as many inherent advantages as Georgia can only spend so much time outside the ranks of the elite without requiring wholesale changes. The Bulldogs receive the bulk of the attention in a state loaded with football talent. Simply by signing the best 25 players in Georgia every year, Georgia should be able to compete for the national title on a regular basis. Instead, the Bulldogs are middle-of-the-pack in their own conference. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/andy_staples/09/04/boise.state.georgia/index.html?sct=hp_t2_a14&eref=sihp

Thanks.....good job by the Tigers!

I grew up respecting the Bulldogs and this seems to be the worst in all my years of watching (at least what I can remember). Reicht probably needs to step down and Bulldogs need a new direction with a new HC.

[Nomad]

I for one HATE it. Norman and Austin wouldn't fit in with the Pac. Not like CU does.

I also think TX deserves to sit in a a crumbling BIG 12 for their ways with their network. Let them end up being an independent along with BYU and ND. Send OU and A&M to the SEC and let K state, Kansas, Iowa St all figure it out for themselves.

There is a saying: Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Well, in this case, TX is the hog.

Finally, I would hate for CU to get into the PAC only to turn around and end up having to go back to places like Norman and Austin.

[MOtorboat]

North, these Maryland uniforms are brutal.

[Thnikkaman]

I don't think you're going to enjoy that much.

I get to root against Nebraska, what else is there to enjoy?

[Nomad]

North, these Maryland uniforms are brutal.

I didn't see the game but looked up the uniforms. They look like something from European soccer.

North's a Virginia Cavs guy so he probably believes Maryland and those unis are made for each other.!:D

[OrangeHoof]

OrangeHoof....wha cha think about this!

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/6927204/pac-16-oklahoma-sooners-texas-longhorns-being-dicussed-source-says

I don't think UT wants to abandon the Longhorn Network, which they'd have to do to join the Pac-12. That doesn't mean OU wouldn't go along with Okla. St. but the Pac 12 doesn't really want the non-AAU schools if they can't have Texas.

OU won't go to the SEC without Oklahoma St. and/or Texas but Texas doesn't want to join the SEC for the same academic reasons plus giving up their own network.

So, all in all, I don't see a quick leap to a Pac-16 unless Oklahoma is willing to break off from UT and is able to bring along Oklahoma St.

[OrangeHoof]

Looks like Notre Dame and Miami have grabbed the early lead regarding question 4. Notre Dame has decided to change QBs this Saturday - which could either be seen as an early panic move or a sign that Brian Kelly has a quick hook.

[Northman]

North, these Maryland uniforms are brutal.

Dude, your not kidding. Watching the replay now and the Mrs. and i are just like WOW. lol

[slim]

So, Missouri v. ASU tonight.

Should be a good game.

[Nomad]

So, Missouri v. ASU tonight.

Should be a good game.

go Sun Devils!


Nothing really jumps out this weekend except ESPNradio is really promoting the ND/Michigan game. Perhaps South Carolina/Georgia.....lot of question marks if Georgia is that bad or Boise is that good. NFL steals this weekend with hype!

LSU plays Northwestern St - It'll be disappointing if the Tigers don't beat them by 50+.

Wa State plays UNLV - I would like to see the Cougs put an asswhoopin on the Rebels like they did Idaho St.

[weazel]

The summer is almost over and it is time to buckle that chinstrap and get set for college football season. Cooler temps. Coeds in sweaters. Endless fights over who should be #1. Gotta love it.

So, here are some questions while we wait for next Saturday's kickoff week of mostly cupcakes:

1) Who'll be the national champion?
2) Who'll win the Heisman Trophy?
3) Name the 10 teams you expect to earn a BCS bowl bid.
4) Which storied program is going to have the worst record - Ohio State, Texas, Miami or Notre Dame?

Dont care about the rest of the question but Notre Dame will have the worst record of those teams... and I love it.

[MOtorboat]

So, Missouri v. ASU tonight.

Should be a good game.

Go Devils.

[Northman]

Dude, ASU's uniforms are awesome. Im digging some of these looks to start the year.

[Northman]

Solid win for FIU. That boy Hilton is a beast.

[Northman]

ASU handling their business. Even with all their penalities Mizzou cant stop them.

Devils lead 30-16 in the 4th.

[Northman]

Ooooh Tigers not done yet. ASU shooting themselves in the foot with a fumble and then more special penalties.

30-23 Devils with 12:00 remaining in the 4th.

[Nomad]

slim, Sun Devils are disappointing! They're going to OT but they had this game before they unfolded.

[Northman]

ASU still got it done in OT, they win 37-30 but my god both teams were crazy retarded with penalties last night.

[MOtorboat]

ASU still got it done in OT, they win 37-30 but my god both teams were crazy retarded with penalties last night.

Didn't stay up, but I heard Pinkel did some Pinkel things.

[Northman]

Dude! How on earth is Toledo beating Ohio St? Lmao!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.

[Northman]

Irish kicking Michigan's ass early. Up 14-0 and just intercepted Robinson.

[lgenf]

Georgia and South Carolina put on one hell of a game tonight

[Northman]

My god.

UVA was up 23-10 on Indiana and all of a sudden went on a turnover streak to allow them back in the game and now trail 31-23. ******* retards.

[Northman]

Thank the lord UVA was able to pull it out. Such a frustrating team but they got it done 34-31. 2-0 but this game should of never been this close.

[Northman]

So far neither the Irish nor the Wolverines can decide who wants the game more. Michigan has the ball with 2 minutes left with a chance to win trailing 24-21.

[Northman]

Wow, Irish score with 30 seconds left to take a 31-28 lead on Michigan. But the Wolves have 2 timeouts and 30 seconds.

[Northman]

8 seconds and Michigan is going to try to score a TD then kick if necessary.


Holy COW. Michigan just scored a TD. Flag but pass interference on Irish. Michigan wins lol.

35-31

[Nomad]

Mich/ND was a classic game to watch.

I didn't watch the game but on the ESPN ticker, I was surprised to see Fresno St give Neb a tough game

:tsk:LSU only scored 49......didn't get over 50:lol:

WAZZU did what I asked......they put an asswhoopin on UNLV, now if they can do this in conference. 121 points scored in the last 2 games and didn't get to watch.

Bulldogs/Gamecocks was a fun game to watch.......ChampWJ, where were those Dawgs last week. Congrats Skinny!:salute:

[BigDaddyBronco]

New Mexico got killed by Arkansas. Not surprising.

Arkansas also beat New Mexico in the number of people with diabetes and the number of toothless women. Go Hogs!!!

[slim]

slim, Sun Devils are disappointing! They're going to OT but they had this game before they unfolded.

Yeah, they are idiots on the field. Stupid penalties galore.

I'm glad they won, but the fact they let the 14 point lead slip away really chaps my ass.

[OrangeHoof]

Not unexpectedly, Texas is making changes on offense. Case McCoy, younger brother of Colt McCoy will start Saturday against UCLA in place of Garrett Gilbert who was ineffective against BYU (2-for-8 with 2 picks). Freshman David Ash will also see a lot of action.

At tailback, freshman Malcolm Brown will start instead of senior Fozzy Whittaker. Basically, the second team offense was outperforming the starting unit the first two weeks and it was time for a change.

Brown has pro potential and it showed in the way he got extra yardage to extend late-game drives when Texas needed to run out the clock.

[BigDaddyBronco]

Boy, BYU sure has the Big-12's number. I want BYU to fail badly as they abonded the Mtn West to become the Mormon Notre Dame. Problem is, non Catholics will watch Notre Dame due to their history, how many non-Mormons will watch BYU?

[ChampWJ]

Bulldogs/Gamecocks was a fun game to watch.......ChampWJ, where were those Dawgs last week. Congrats Skinny!:salute:

The ones that made just enough mistakes to lose a game where they outplayed their opponent? At least they didn't roll over and quit after a couple breaks didn't go their way like they usually do. Even Spurrier knows Georgia should've won that game.

LSU/Miss St tonight!! - I see this as a toss up game because it's in the Bulldogs backyard. GO TIGERS!

[Northman]

Will be a good game. LSU wins though.

Will be a good game. LSU wins though.

I like the sound of that:beer:! I'll miss it because my older son has a JV game tonight!

Don't know if they'll have it on at the office tonight but it would be cool to have it on.

[Nomad]

Don't know if they'll have it on at the office tonight but it would be cool to have it on.

I assume it was a decent game......LSU's defense showed up.

Texas/UCLA for you!

For you CO folks......I don't here much noise about the Rocky Mtn Showdown....CU/CSU.

I don't think WAZZU plays this weekend.

Arizona will be the first real test for Luck this season.

Not much on tonight. At least not here.

Boise State v. Toledo

Iowa State v. Conn

Hmmmm....hopefully there is some good softcore on cinemax tonight.

[MOtorboat]

The Maryland unis aren't as bad this week, but they still aren't pretty North.

Watching Iowa-Pitt and Auburn-Clemson early, but CU-CSU is on in about two hours.

Found this for comprehensive TV listings. I used to have a better one, but this one seems OK...

[MOtorboat]

Have not seen a game of theirs yet this year. Didnt they lose to Iowa St. last week?

Somehow they scored 44 points. Today they can barely make a first down. Vandeberg (Sp?) is just brutal. He's missing recievers by five yards.

[MOtorboat]

2:30 to play in the game, 2nd and 2 from your opponents 45 yard line and you're leading by 14. What do you do?

Pistol formation, with loaded FB/HB, who goes in looping motion behind your quarterback before the snap to the pistol quarterback who hands off to the I-Back for a one yard loss.

Spread offenses drive me nuts. Line up under center and run a power or an iso...

"But that's not our offense..."

Make it your offense. You'll win more games...

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Will anyone be watching Oklahoma/Florida St - besides me, for an obvious reason? :elefant:

Carol, your boy must be good because he's getting some primo assignments this year - his second prime time game in three weeks.

I'm packing for a move but I'll have the tv on and I'll turn my head to look when there's a big play.

Texas just beat UCLA in SoCal. That game means a lot to the Longhorns because UCLA has buried them in the past three meetings. They're now 3-0 and have looked better each week - not perfect but better. They're probably ranked about where they ought to be.

[OrangeHoof]

THE Ohio State trails Da U, 14-0, in the second qtr in the Suspension Bowl.

[Northman]

So far Landry Jones hasnt really impressed me too much.

[OrangeHoof]

Miami leads Ohio St., 17-6, start of 2nd half.

Oklahoma just kicked a FG to go up, 10-3, on Florida St. Carol, tell your boy to call more penalties on OU.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Next week, he has Oklahoma St. at Texas A&M - should I tell him to call more penalties on A&M?:D

[MOtorboat]

This true freshman quarterback for FSU has some moxie. Not necessarily a ton of tools, he's short and he weighs about a 100 pounds, but he's composed and he's reading blitz packages well. He's not quite making the throws, but I'm impressed.

[Nomad]

I guess WAZZU did have a game....they lost to SDSU in SD!:tsk:

Luck's looked pretty damned good tonight.......actually the whole team looked good especially being on the road.

[OrangeHoof]

Next week, he has Oklahoma St. at Texas A&M - should I tell him to call more penalties on A&M?:D

Nah. I really don't give a flip about A&M anymore.

[OrangeHoof]

The rankings ought to get a shakeup after Saturday's results although the top four will probably stay the same.

Surprise result you probably didn't hear about:

Louisiana Tech had a 34-7 lead on the University of Houston at home late in the third quarter only to watch Case Keenum pull off 28 unanswered points to escape with a 35-34 win.

[CoachChaz]

Miami leads Ohio St., 17-6, start of 2nd half.

Oklahoma just kicked a FG to go up, 10-3, on Florida St. Carol, tell your boy to call more penalties on OU.

Next week, he has Oklahoma St. at Texas A&M - should I tell him to call more penalties on A&M?:D

Ummm.....no!

[OrangeHoof]

Pitt and Syracuse are leaving for the ACC and rumors are that Rutgers and UConn may follow quickly to get ACC to 16.

Reports are that the Pac-12 is trying to work out a deal that will let Texas join and keep the Longhorn Network which would expand to 16 with Oklahoma, Oklahoma St. and Texas Tech.

So, if the ACC gets to 16 and the Pac-12 goes to 16, the Big East and Big XII are essentially dead with 7 open spots left on the table, three in the SEC and four in the Big 10.

Notre Dame and Missouri are the two biggest prizes left with West Virginia, Kansas, TCU, Baylor, Boise St., Kansas St., Cincinnati, Louisville, USF and BYU hoping for a place to land.

SEC screwed the pooch not trying to nab OU and Okie St. PAC 16 will be very interesting..........poor WAZZU!:(

[SiouxperBronco]

Heard that Colorado and three other Pac 12 schools will vote to reject any potential application by Texas

The best web site for college football TV listings...

[CoachChaz]

Most likely because of the legalized recruiting tool that is the Longhorn Network. It's the main reason A&M left and why OU and TT want out. Dont believe the media hype that the Big 12 schools voted to not try to stop it last year. The same schools leaving now were wanting out then as well for the same reasons

[BigDaddyBronco]

Pitt and Syracuse are leaving for the ACC and rumors are that Rutgers and UConn may follow quickly to get ACC to 16.

Reports are that the Pac-12 is trying to work out a deal that will let Texas join and keep the Longhorn Network which would expand to 16 with Oklahoma, Oklahoma St. and Texas Tech.

So, if the ACC gets to 16 and the Pac-12 goes to 16, the Big East and Big XII are essentially dead with 7 open spots left on the table, three in the SEC and four in the Big 10.

Notre Dame and Missouri are the two biggest prizes left with West Virginia, Kansas, TCU, Baylor, Boise St., Kansas St., Cincinnati, Louisville, USF and BYU hoping for a place to land.

I would think Kansas and Missouri try and go to the ACC, UCONN wants to go there as well. West Virginia wants to go to the SEC. Boise St. will stay in the Mtn West, TCU might cancel it's moce to the Big East and stay in the Mtn West. BYU wants to stay an independent due to it's own TV network, Notre Dame still has the NBC deal. Baylor has talked with the Big East.

Either way this is a big mess. The NCAA and BCS are destroying college football. They should blow this system up, have the TV networks deal directly with the NCAA, who should install a playoff system with regional conferences. This whole thing has gotten totally out of hand.

Yea, I just think it would be better for the game if they adopted an NFL approach and spread the TV money around. If this gets worse, they should just create another division in college football for the non BCS, Div 1 schools.

[Nomad]

Boise St will be praying as well:lol: but they have things to fix such as academics and logistics! Pac 12 is their only shot at a superconference. I don't blame the schools voting down Texas.

[BigDaddyBronco]

On a lighter note. New Mexico got beat by Texas Tech 59-13. The Texas Tech QB completed 45 of 50 for 446 yards. His 90% completion percentage set a record.

I think UNM should shut down it's football program now. When does basketball season begin.

I wouldn't be surprised to see West Virginia get an invite to SEC.

Good games this weekend........

I assume they want a piece of the pie....I really don't know. Texas's arrogance and greed is causing the big 12 to break up but as far as the east I don't know. All I know is there is gonna be many teams from these conferences looking for conference homes. And alot of the blame is being put on Texas because of the moves they made and I don't believe the PAC wants them!

[Northman]

Im going to do some upset picks;

I like Arizona at home vs Oregon. Dont know why but the cats generally play very well at home.

I also like the Clemson at home vs the Seminoles.

And finally, i like the Sun Devils against USC.

[OrangeHoof]

West Virginia says that the ACC and the SEC both turned them down flat on applying for membership. That might be a little extra incentive for them when they host LSU this Saturday.

Oklahoma, it is reported, is willing to stay in the Big XII with Texas but only if Beebe is fired and Texas makes some changes to the Longhorn Network. I think this is a smart position. OU is clearly in the drivers seat over whether the Big XII collapses or survives and they are telling Texas "you want to stay in the Big XII? How much is it worth to ya?"

If OU and Texas agree to keep the Big XII together, it puts the brakes on the superconference talk for awhile longer. They'll add a few new schools to replace the defectors and life will largely go on.

A Missouri booster claims the SEC has already invited Missouri but that they won't leave until they see if the Big XII collapses.

Also, the remaining football-playing Big East teams are planning to meet to decide their futures. TCU is attending. UConn is not.

[Nomad]

Maybe so Orangehoof! Boise St has a chance if the Big 12 stays intact because Pac 12 said yesterday.....they aren't expanding (though SEC said the same thing). And if the Big East folds, I don't see how TCU isn't invited to the Big 12.taking the place of A&M.

Very interesting times in college football......hell, looking at some schedules, CU/NEB doesn't even play this year!

[Nomad]

Pretty good, Buff!


I'm all for the a playoff because it would solve most of the doubt. The way I view it is like climbing a mountain. Most teams in the top BCS conferences teams have to climb the mountain from start to finish...taking breaks from time to time with cupcakes, while teams like Boise St and TCU start off by climbing (playing Oregon or this year Georgia) then catch the gondola to the top. Yes, they've beaten what comes in front of them but could they do it on a weekly basis in Oct and Nov. I hope one day Boise and TCU (Big East will not be there in a couple yrs) get into a BCS conference (MWC :lol: not) I hope the Big 12 stays intact and adds those 2 teams and if they continue their success then they'll win a cookie and doubters like me will have to s t f u. I will give TCU their credit because they manhandled a tough Wisconsin team last year.


Overall, the BCS is what it is.

Beebe should have been fired long ago. He is the reason the Big 12 is collapsing.

I dont see Texas...better yet, ESPN...making changes to the Longhorn Network.

I know these are football decisions, but the ACC basketball tourney is going to be fun. Duke, UNC, Pitt, Syracuse and UConn. Crazy

[OrangeHoof]

Once the Pac-12 put their foot down (for now), everything changed. OU decided to stay put which means OSU and Texas Tech are staying put which means Missouri says they're staying put which means the SEC must find somebody else (and they've already ix-nayed West Virginia). Texas is apparently not willing to share the Longhorn Network but they are willing to share more of their Fox package than before.

As long as there are five major conferences, you can't have the neat, orderly playoff. There was a carrot for conferences to get to 12 schools (the $$$ from a conference championship game) but there's no compelling reason to get to 16 teams or even 14 for that matter, except this game of chicken about superconferences.

The Big XII says they would now be happy at 10 (so fer pete's sake, please change your name).

Drip, drip, drip.

[Nomad]

So OH, you don't think if the Big East folds, the Big 12 goes after TCU and Boise St finally gets their chance at a Big conference. Perhaps no conference is interested in Boise because what do they have to offer other than football.

[OrangeHoof]

They're not interested in Boise because its too far to fly to and there are too few tv sets in Idaho to care about. The Big XII is not interested in TCU because they already have the DFW tv market dominated. Although I can see them adding U. of Houston because Houston is more A&M country than Longhorn country.

BYU makes sense but only if you add another western school for travel reasons. The Big XII might poach Louisville or Cincinnati to expand their footprint.

[Nomad]

Houston huh! I guess it makes sense but they're no real threat to the conference big boys.

I'm surprised LSU/WVU got the nod for the primetime game over the Okie St/Texas A&M game.

Morgantown looked crazy on the GameDay Show. LSU is gonna have a rough game.....I just feel it. Mountaineers gave the Tigers a tough game in BR last year with WVU losing 20-14. I hope Miles leaves his arrogance in BR and the Tigers show up and win! GO TIGERS!

I'm actually not much of a Big 12 guy but the Okie St/A&M game looks to be a good high scoring game.

Nearly 10 years ago. I helped move a friend there during college. It was the first sports bar we came across downtown, we had a few beers one afternoon, and then went back there the next night.

Yes and no. While it will put more pressure on LSU to keep winning, if they lose they wont drop too far unless they lose a handful of games.

- Texas A&M vs Arkansas - A&M's first game as an SEC member and it should be a good one. Also big game to start off CFB Saturday.

- Kentucky @ LSU - GO TIGERS!

- Wash St @ Colorado - GO COUGS!

- Clemson @ Va Tech - I usually never pay attention to ACC but Clemson is a school that could potentially have a future in the SEC plus seems like a solid matchup.

- Washington @ Utah - I like both schools and a solid Pac 10 matchup.

- Alabama @ Florida - Game of the night, IMO!

- Nebraska @ Wisconsin - Winner will eventually be Big 10 champion.

- UCLA @ Stanford - Can't help but watch Andrew Luck.....I expect a big win by the Card.

I won't miss Big 12 football...KU and Texas Tech in a 7 on 7 scrimmage...

Lee and the receivers SUCK today....WTF!

It took me to go on a rant for them to do good:lol:

All of you on the Cyrus Gray bandwagon need to watch the A&M game and watch Christine Michael.

His broken leg last year is the only reason Gray is on the map

[Northman]

I think Northwestern is a bit underrated this year. But they always seem to surprise a bit and then fizzle. But i think Persa is coming out this year what does everyone think of him as maybe a late round QB?

They are beating #24 Illinois 28-17 right now.


A&M housing Ark right now but looks like the backs are trying to claw back in it.

35-20 A&M right now.

LSU winning 14-0 on Kentucky, defense is stellar.

[CoachChaz]

Fire Mike Sherman. Worst 2nd half coach ever

A&M melts down 2 weeks in a row! They still have a chance to win but losing those big leads.

Being without our stub CB doesnt help, but Sherman sux

[Nomad]

You can still make a big hit and wrap up!

[Nomad]

Those damn pesky Hogs!

LSU played really vanilla today for a #1 team.....the win is great but I believe if the offense didn't have their heads up their rearends....it would have been a 7+ touchdown win!

This was being promoted as the "First Aggie game in SEC history" around Aggieland. Not anymore.

[CoachChaz]

We play Arkansas in Dallas every year anyway

Colorado looking improved today. They'll be good once this staff gets the house in order.

I Read somewhere a blue-chip type prospect committed to CO. Don't remember the details or his name though.

Why are you always raining on everyones parade lately?

I don't really know what you're talking about. I completely agree with you, they just need a quarterback better suited for the system.

Its a transfer from Texas, he was a four-star recruit last year, I think.
