College Football: Championship Week!

OSUJumpMan

It's a new season. Conference play has started.


Human voters are blind to Boise State football supremecy!



Computers deciding the national championship?


Don't worry! There's a pick'em group on Yahoo!

Also there are blogs to read. If that's your thing.

Oh man.

Michigan State-Michigan next week, both teams 5-0.

It's going to be a hell of a game.

OSUJumpMan

It'll be interesting to see if MSU's offense can really get rolling against a poor defense, or if UM's offense struggles against it's first real defense.

TheBlackWind

Yeah, I am pumped for that game.

TheSuperWoot

First ten minutes of the Stanford game made me hope it wasn't going to be another shootout like last year. Oh well, definitely happy to be up 7!

And my idiot friends who support Missouri are already shit talking on Oklahoma.

Jesus H. Christ.

So I see TTech has pulled within a touchdown with a minute left. Erandus, are you sweating yet?

The Judge

The Oregon-Stanford tilt is high octane stuff. 55 combined points with tons of the third quarter left.

Caswynben

CBS' coverage is so bad. They had a stat on the screen that was like : last loss as a starter : 8th grade

This game is alternately awesome and heart attack inducing.

That fucking awesome part where we return their onside kick for a touchdown was sweet, sweet victory.

The fuck kinda world is this where ISU wins a slugging match scoring over FIFITY points? With a B12 SOUTH team?

How do I work this? This is not my usual offense. This is not my usual team.

EDIT: I hate to get ahead of myself, I really do. But if we go to a bowl game, Paul Rhodes for coach of the fucking year.

EDIT2: A J KLEIN with the interception! That's a fucking wrap kids!

Jake Locker is moving the ball for Washington against USC.

Also, Keith Price apparently has balls like grapefruit and so does Sark for letting him go after it down there.

toxk_02

Need a 10 minute drive.

JihadJesus

...and two drops in a row, failed 4th down conversion gives USC the ball back. That's gonna be game right there. God dammit.

I would have went for it too, but it doesn't make it not suck.

toxk_02

WOW. Only need a field goal.

ed. maybe a 1st down? please?

PPPPOOOOOLLLLKK

You got this Folk.

The Judge

Come on U-Dub. This would be awesome.

VeritasVR

FOR THE WIN-

Evil_Reaver

WHALEN NOOOOOOOOOO

Pellaeon

That was some, ummm, something game management from Kiffykins at the end there

toxk_02

HUSKIES!

The Judge

Ahhhhh . . . USC getting kicked in the nuts is like slipping into a warm bath.

JihadJesus

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

I was sure we'd Coug'ed that one away.

[edit]
Also, forget Locker. I have a total man crush on Chris Polk.

TheBlackWind

Hell yes huskies! Giving me a goddamn heart attack at the end there.

Lord knows we tried. Good lord that defense...

JihadJesus

Yeah, that run defense.....ughhhhh. I'd like to sincerely thank Kiffin for not using those timeouts. If we'd had to give them the ball back with :45 to 1:00 left I wouldn't have liked our chances.

The Judge

Oregon has a seven-shift gearbox where other teams only have five.

langfor6

I seem to remember some very bad clock management in college football last year as well.

As a disclaimer, I'm not on the field and have no idea what the pressure is like, but I figured out clock management in football around the second game of the first year of Madden where they put timeouts in.

JihadJesus

The thought of Oregon's rushing attack against our defense makes me feel nauseous. I refuse to think of that. Instead, I'm going to think about hanging a matching "Folk celebrates after game winning field goal as time expires" clipping in my cube right next to the one from last year.

Like last year, it will almost certainly be the high point of the season.

lordswing

:P

Sorry Wake Forest, fuck Georgia, and keep Saint Richt please

Nirya

I'm glad UCLA got past WSU today - really played like it was a trap game.

Also, poor USC. They're going to get rolled by Stanford after the way the Cardinal ended their game.

JihadJesus

Holy shit, Georgia lost to Colorado? Richt is gonna be hearing about that one. And NC State got nailed by Tech, so much for any hope the ACC had of not being a complete laughingstock.

TheSuperWoot

Damn, once Owusu got knocked the fuck out the threat of our passing game flew off a cliff. Hard to come from a two touchdown deficit when you only throw underneath and you drop the snap one yard from the endzone.

Good game Ducks, you guys were able to come back and beat the shit out of us in the second half. I don't think we ever really got the momentum back after the successful onsides kick.

JihadJesus

Yeah, I hate to say it but I don't really see much left on the schedule with even the potential to beat the Ducks. Beavs maybe just because it's a rivalry but they should roll everyone else in the conference handily. Possibly USC is they actually play up to their talent level, but I wouldn't bet real money on it.

Locker forever. He had solid numbers and really put up an even better game than that. Just couldn't get his receivers to hold on to anything.

Expected to lose playing Bama easy.Well still got a chance in the SEC east.

Jragghen

Siiiiigh.

Not like I expected any different this season, but it's a tad disappointing

Likewise. There's clearly a lot that's not working though. I wonder if not having Urban around to oversee the offseason is what's hurting us because, except for the Kentucky game, Florida has been playing horribly on offense.


I am happy Lane Kiffin got it taken to him though.

Munkus Beaver

Fuck yes, USC lost. Bama won.

What the fuck? Tenn. v LSU, Washingtong beating USC.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Georgia lost to Colorado.

BubbaT

Does USC get into TWIS? It'd be nice for the football team to be noticed for something this year.

From wearesc.com

let's forfeit the rest of the games
seriously...what is the point of this? we have no defense, the players are not even bothering to try, a terrible UW team consistently put together 80 yards drives and
converted on 3rd and 19...if kiffin is not tackling and trying to save players because of the sanctions, why bother with this each saturday? USC being embarrassed on national TV once per week? what for? just forfeit the rest of the games, that way no one else gets injured, team can spend the rest of the year practicing for 2011, and we don't have to watch any more of this crap each sat..

is there a worse group of linebackers in the country? I'm serious. You mean to tell me this is the best Pete Carroll and Ken Norton Jr. could recruit. They can't tackle, they can't fill, they can't cover, but other than that they're pretty good.

The players don't seem to care so why should I? no emotion, no heart, and very little talent. If Washington could catch the ball this game would have been a blow out. How long do we have to wait til we get a new coach?

Kiffin is obviously a plant by the NCAA to sink USC further in to mediocrity

Is he (Joe Houston) even a kicker, or just some fuck who got asked to kick the ball 20 yards in the air the wrong direction?

nah [the Tampa 2 is] a good fit. Perhaps old man Monte will have the defense wear leather helmets to compliment his ancient scheme.

They call it the Tampa 2 because the two safeties play so far back they might as well be in fucking Tampa.

I have no idea where this analogy is going

This defense is take out chinese food. It's sitting in your passenger seat on a rocky ride and it always manages to spill but the contents of the spillage most often seem to stay within the plastic bag and you say "phew!" and go back and get that same take out chinese food the next time you are hungry but this time it leaks all over your car's new leather and you regret sticking with it.

This made me laugh

AP Title gone!

Draeven

the best part about ISU under Paul rhodes is as the season goes along his team just keeps getting better and battaling the whole time. I really don't expect to get blown out other then by Oklahoma and Nebraska cause we still can't stop a solid rushing attack.
