College Football 12-13

Ill be interested to see how usc plays tomorrow-they were collectively distraught after the stanford loss

Cal plays USC today. They have to be mad after losing to Stanford. Cal played pretty good vs Ohio state last week but the penalties haunt them. I don't think it will be a blowout, but I think Cal loses again.

Gotdayum dem buckeyes were looking a bit sloppy out there today. Really can't believe that blocked punt AND extra point, but either way, 4-0 bishes!

waiting for my noles to come on.

Damn, Cal QB Maynard sucks. Misses open receivers constantly. So hard to watch. Smh.

Yea but Zona has been putting up some points. I was stunned that Oregon shut them out.  It will be interesting to see if Oregon can run the PAC 12 and make the BCS title game.

No joke, i really expected USC to come out stronger against cal. And while it may be UO's conference champ to take, they still don't have the size to match up in a national title game. They're rose bowl shoe-ins, but the SEC is too big/fast/strong for the ducks to compete with.

Kinda surprised UO surpassed LSU in the polls, but i guess ya have to give props for a shut out like that.

It was great to see them execute well. Saw some great blocking which really helped those long gains. I just hope going into Big 10 play Nebraska can keep it up. I think Wisconsin is going to be a little easier this year compared to the past.

I'm not terribly sure one can be confident in any team's performance against Idaho State. Throw an NFL team into a high school football match, and I'm sure youll see some great blocking too. I will agree that Wisconsin is having an off year, though. Or atleast a weak start. It doesn't appear the loss to OSU was a fluke, as they beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl this last sunday. But the non-conf opponents Wisconsin had (UNI, OSU, Utah St., UTEP) generally would have been dominated by the Badgers. Instead, their average margin of victory in wins is only 6, and overall, they are only +3.75/game vs all opponents. Too close for comfort!

I agree it's easy to execute against a weak opponent. I guess it was more of "Nebraska is getting to the right spots to block" type of good feeling, compared to confusion of the formation and play they are running. Suppose any team has that in the first games of the season. One can only hope after such an easy win, the confidence level is not too high against a lot better competition.

Furd plays Udub on Thursday this week.. Really not too sure why the pac-12 games have been played on such an unconventional day of the week. Still hope the Cardinal light the huckin Fuskies up. It'll make me feel a lot better before the Ducks go to Pullman and light up my Cougs.
It's also nice to see the Beavs in the top 25 (in both polls), after those "upsets" (if ya beat two ranked opponents and become ranked higher than them.. it's not really an upset anymore, is it?!) The OSU/Zona matchup this weekend should be a good show. Interested to see how Zona responds to being destroyed by UO (thus vacating a top 25 spot), and of course I wanna see if the Beavs can keep beating solid opponents.

Otherwise, there are a limited number of intriguing matchups over the weekend. Florida/LSU has been good in the past, as LSU struggled against Auburn last week.. though I feel Florida is overrated for what they've done so far, so it may very well be a rout. Nebraska/Wisc would be a lot better if both teams were executing at 100%. And the OhioSt/MichSt matchup really only matters on the national scale to Sparty.

^^^ Oh I didn't know you were a cal fan Rob.  How'd you like the way that OSU game ended?  I think you should be complaining about your kicker more than your QB.  (I liked that Nevada game too . . . ).  Anyway, I'm hoping to get to that stadium next year for the buckeyes game -- you got a ticket hookup for me?

What is up with ND cancelling its yearly matchup with Michigan?  I know they have a half commitment to the ACC, but it seems like they could fit a game with Michigan in.  It's just too bad, because a lot of fans look forward to that matchup.

Who are you talking about? Because when I see ND I think Notre Dame, and they just played this weekend

Who are you talking about? Because when I see ND I think Notre Dame, and they just played this weekend Notre Dame's Athletic Director gave U-M's Athletic Director a letter an hour before the game saying ND will play U-M through the 2014 season and that's it, terminating the agreement they had to play each other through 2017 or 2018.  ND thinks their shat doesn't stink, bunch of pompous assholes.   They were only going to play through 2016 and then take a break for 2017-2018 anyway.  ND had to make room for some ACC games, I don't think it's because they're being pompous.  Both schools have said they want to continue the game in the future though.

Wow I cant believe Washington knocked off Standford, I only caught a little bit of the game, was pretty surprised when I checked the score this morning

Ha that throw was terrible. Welcome to QB mediocrity Stanford

Yeah i was watching the WVU game as well and that was insane he play so well. 8TD passes that is crazy! He is defiantly on the Heisman watch. I think he is a good option for the Heisman. If he keeps having games like that he can win it.

I'm watching the Georgia vs. Tennessee game right now and its a little early but its a real good game. Tennessee already has 2 picks!

^^^ Well, the Shoe is a pretty good place to watch from  too . . . .

go ducks!

The Baylor WVA game is crazy..score 63pts...and still lose..

Originally posted by GeckosGoMoo Woooooh, Nebraska beat Wisconsin! Nebraska finally gave its fans something to be proud of this year.

I was at this game, the stadium hasn't been this loud since playing Oklahoma about 5 years ago I think it was. The comeback got the crowd fired up and it was deafening when the blackshirts were on the field. The joys of college football!

I wasn't a fan of the uniforms at all actually. They look too much like the Red Raider uniform.
