College Football 12-13

I'm a UofM fan and I agree.  Sadly.

Originally posted by screwyvarmint My goodness, my Bruins are leading against Nebraska at the moment.  Only the 3rd quarter, but I was expecting we'd be blown out.  Maybe Jim Mora will turn the team around after all!

Hopefully they keep it up!! it's a good game.. but hope the bruins pull it out!  Would love to see neb lose!

How about ULM knocking off #7 Arkansas. Today was a day of upsets for sure. So glad to see Nebraska get beaten by UCLA, can't stand the cornhuskers!

Bad weekend for the big ten with Wisconsin and Nebraska getting upset, and in a week where most big ten teams win they go 6-6.

Either way yea, tough game for him for sure Yeah, he missed his first 3 field goals, then made one (and even the Virgina fans in the crowd cheered for him at that point). He had a PAT blocked, then later missed a FG that would have won the game. I don't hold the players accountable for anything PSU has faced.. but I am happy when i see em put another notch in the L column.

Jarvis Jones the BEAST!!! SEC Defensive Player of the Week & Walter Camp National Player of the Week....booYAH!!!

Remorsefully, I'll have to agree, Tim. But a weasel-free UCLA is one i can tolerate much more!

As far as other pac-12 news goes... (from Yahoo sports) Just 2 games into the season, Oregon has already lost two players to season-ending knee injuries; guard Carson York and free safety John Boyett, both fifth-year senior leaders.

York hurt his right kneecap during Oregon's 42-25 win over Fresno State last weekend. He announced to reporters that he would undergo surgery on Tuesday and that his season was over.

Boyett revealed to his hometown newspaper earlier this week that he'll need surgery to repair patellar tendons in both knees. The injury will end his career with the Ducks unless Oregon successfully petitions the NCAA for an additional year of eligibility.

Surely makes the Nov. 3 game at USC a little less interesting. It's hard watching two teams play, knowing one can't give it's best effort. But the Ducks should still be able to roll through the rest of their competition until that date, so it's likely good news if you're a Trojan fan.

...and Jarvis also picked up the Chuck Bednarik POTW and Bronko Nagurski POTW! damn son!!

and down go the trojans.  bcs is shakin up.

I'm surprised the score in the Ohio st/Cal game was pretty close. I turned it off at halftime.

It also looks like it'll be Bama/LSU in the championship. (Again)

Alabama is looking pretty deserving of their number 1 rank. Amazing to think the Arkansas game was supposed to be a good one to watch, just a complete blowout.

Lot of upsets in a week where there wasn't going to be many good games. Number 2 USC, #10 MSU, and #13 VT all went down.

Wow, my UCLA Bruins are now ranked #19 and are ahead of USC in the division.  May not last, but I'm sure going to enjoy this!

Originally posted by Blur510 Originally posted by mj2delmenico Tenn vs Florida or USC vs Stanford. Which will be the better game? I think Stanford will be blown away even at home and that Tennessee will hold off Florida there goes that prediction. USC has lost 3 straight games (4 now) to stanford, I guess Stanford  has their number.  There goes the championship.

Yeah, WIth the way the BCS ratings go, USC's chances are pretty much shot now.
UCLA is playing some pretty high-power football. The cougs could take a lesson or two from them lol. THey beat UNLV last year 59-7, but just edged em 35-27 this season.. really hard to get a read on those guys! :(

Yeah.... But, they didn't have their #1 player.. their starting QB.. no chance against w/ out him

Barkley is a media golden boy they run the rest of the table in the Pac 12 he still will get it.

Originally posted by j_lucky84 Originally posted by mommehK Three of the top 5 in this week's AP Poll are SEC teams, including my Dawgs. Yah, that's pretty much owning. And i like that Georgia introduced Mizzou to the SEC by demolishing em. FSU in the top 5 is a little... preemptive. Yeah they're blowing out their opponents, but Murray St, Savannah St and Wake Forest don't exactly scream talent. This weekend's game against Clemson should be good though :).  It's exciting to see a number of Pac12 teams rounding out the top 25.. and a few are teams that weren't even being talked about last year.

Go Clemson.

"losing luck" makes it sound like he entered the draft early and the team was screwed. he stuck around his senior year (and for a free stanford education, who wouldn't?!), and they had time to teach the new QB some of the tricks. Given it's hardly a lateral step, but its not a complete turd of a situation. I was really looking forward to USC kickin some ass and possibly ending the streak of SEC championships... guess I'll have to wait til next year with the playoffs for a solid contender.

Originally posted by grapeape2669 Is it just me, or does it seem like Notre Dame is going to hammer Michigan in South Bend on Saturday?  I think they're going to eat Denard Robinson alive, but I guess we'll see.

Originally posted by ctoma ND's defense looked really good against MSU but Denard is ND's kryptonite.  In 2010 Denard threw for 244 yards and 1 TD, rushed for 258 yards and 2 TDs.  In 2011 he threw for 338 yards, 4 TDs, 3 Ints and rushed for 108 yards and 1 TD. Denard is the wildcard in this game.  If ND's defense can contain D-Rob they should win.

Nice stats! Bama semed to contain him pretty well (11/26 for 200 yards; 1td, 2int).. so if they're in the film room, maybe they'll get some ideas!

Originally posted by 360faceplant He redshirted so he did have 1 more year of eligibility.  It was a given he was leaving though.

Oops! I stand corrected! I follow the pac pretty closely but i must've spaced that tidbit. I truly did expect Furd to fall off the table after Luck et al. entered the draft. Kudos to their coaching staff for keeping 'em in it :). <EDIT Pt.I> The rest of the pac seems to be kinda hit-and-miss (again) this year.


<EDIT Pt.II>... Also, there's a matchup between BYU and Boise St. tonight. Both irrelevant in the national scheme this year, but should be an interesting bout nonetheless. BYU handled my beloved cougs quite well, but last week lost a close one at Utah, so I'm curious how they'll do in this matchup.

Im hoping ND can keep it going and put a beat down on michigan this weekend

Did anyone catch that sleeper of a game last night between BYU and Boise St? 461 total yards combined for both offenses. It's crazy the difference a year can make. Boise St has no offense now that Kellen Moore is gone.
