if Frost can somehow pull off a season like this he'd have his contract extended another 10 years

Friday game:


  • #13 Oregon 33, USC 27


Kedon Slovis completed 18 of his first 22 passes for 198 yards.  Problem is 2 of the 4 incompletions were interceptions.  Conversely, even with C.J. Verdell going down in the first quarter with an ankle injury, the Ducks barely even tried to pass.  And why would they?  Anthoyn Brown ran for 115 yards on over 10 ypc, Travis Dye had 131 yards, and even though the numbers weren't great, Cyrus Habibi-Lakio chipped in 8 carries for 33 yards, but half of those carries resulted in first downs (3) or a touchdown (1).  The Trojans elected to punt the ball to Oregon with just over 4 minutes to go, and all 3 timeouts, which proved to be the right decision, getting the ball back on their own 20, with still nearly 2 minutes to play.  After crossing midfield in just 4 plays, and still 1:19 to play, Slovis threw an incomplete pass on 1st down, threw the ball away under pressure on 2nd down, and then got too aggressive on 3rd down, tried to throw it downfield, and threw his 3rd pick of the game.  The win gives Oregon their second consecutive Pac 12 title, but with the Rose hosting a semifinal, the Ducks will not be heading back to Pasadena.  For USC, it's tough to see Clay Helton returning.  As good as things felt two weeks ago, after beating UCLA to reach the conference title game.  Back to back losses to Notre Dame and Oregon, guaranteed the program their worst three year stretch since 1999-2001.

Noon games


  • TCU 45, #4 Iowa State 20
  • Appalachian State 31, UL Lafayette 27
  • Northern Illinois 45, Ohio 23


Well done Big XII.  Your greed in adding an unnecessary championship game, when you had a champion ranked in the top 4, who won the league by 2 games, has cost you a CFP bid. The Cyclones looked to pull off a comeback for the second consecutive week, after spotting TCU a 24-3 lead, but closing to 24-13 at the half.  It was not to be, as the Horned Frogs took the opening kickoff of the second half into Cyclone territory, and scored two plays later.  Brock Purdy threw a pick six, and TCU, 5 plays into the second half, had scored two touchdowns, to open the lead up to 38-13, and put it in cruise control from there.  The playoff is a mess now.  It's the 1 loss SEC champ, and then the Big Ten and ACC champs (which may each have 2 losses)  Then?  A 2 loss non-champ?

The Cajun defense was in complete control, leading 20-7, with Appy State's lone touchdown coming on a 58 yard punt return.  But they got something figured out, and completely flipped the script, scoring three straight touchdowns prior to halftime, taking a 28-20 lead into the break.  Then, in the second half, the defenses came alive.  UL Lafayette scored a touchdown with 39 seconds left to close within 4, but could not recover the onside kick, and the Mountaineers claimed their fifth consecutive Sun Belt title.

I'm honestly not sure how Northern Illinois is doing it.  This is the first game all season I actually let play out, their previous 12 were just simmed using FPI, where they ranked 9th of 12 MAC teams.  Yet they won the title, with an offense that the Bobcats couldn't even begin to slow.

1:30 game


  • UAB 65, Florida Atlantic 55


I'd say defense optional, but I'm not even sure it was that.  There were only two punts, both from UAB, and it felt like the game was going to be last team with the ball.  I guess technically that was true, because the Owls tried to set up a lateral play with 4 seconds left, down 59-55, at their own 46.  The result was a fumble, returned for a touchdown by UAB, for the first and only two score lead by either team all game.

3:30 game


  • Memphis 37, SMU 30


If San Diego State loses, is Memphis back into the New Years Six?  The Tigers looked to take a commanding two score lead, but Brady White threw a pick six to tie the game at 30-30.  Not to be denied, he took Memphis right back fown the field, and scored the winning touchdown with 4:07 to play.

4:00 games


  • #2 Georgia 35, #1 Alabama 25
  • Air Force 31, #20 San Diego State 17


Facing 4th and gaol from the 4, down 25-21 with just over 8 minutes to play, Kirby Smart elected to go for the lead, and Georgia was stuffed.  The Crimson Tide ran the ball three straight times...for 9 yards, and punted it away.  The Bulldogs scored consecutive touchdowns to avenge their regular season loss, and be the first team to confidently secure their CFP bid.  Now Bama needs to wait and see if 11-2 with a split with Georgia is still enough to get in.

Both offenses struggled to find a groove, the game remaining scoreless past the midway point of the second quarter.  Then the Falcons got it going, powered one touchdown in after a 14 play drive, converted a fumble recovery inside the Aztec red zone into an 8 yard touchdown drive, and after a score on their first possession of the second half, took a commanding 24-0 lead.  Who gets the Group of 5 bid now is anyone's guess.

Friday bowl games


  • BAHAMAS: Central Michigan 30, UAB 20
  • FRISCO: Wyoming 38, Arkansas State 31


CMU dominated the first half, but UAB hit a 72 yard pass on the second play of the second half to somehow cut it to 6.  CMU immediately responded with a 6 play touchdown drive of their own, with the biggest play being a 54 yard completion down to the 2.

The Cowboys used a pick six to cap a 28-0 start, that was still 38-10 at halftime.  But the RedWolves weren't giving up, and had the ball twice with a chance to tie in the final 7 minutes, but simply couldn't finish off the comebqack.
