Man, hard to watch the end of this game and not see officials with a clear outcome in mind.
Yeah- that was strange.  

At least the Hoosiers pulled it out.

UCLA survives South Alabama 32-31 with a last second FG in front of dozens of home fans. I once again, dating back to UCLA's Karl Dorrell tenure, overrated the Bruins.

Speaking of Karl Dorrell, whoever (847b) said in the Minnesota-Colorado thread that the Buffaloes might not even score is on their way to being right; coming out of halftime the Gophers are up 35-0.

Meanwhile, the Cal-Notre Dame game in South Bend feels more like watching one of those pre-Christmas bowls with the Irish wearing alternate jerseys and the gameplay running at the lower gear of teams who aren't quite sure they'd rather be in their dorms. But the crowd, wow - an 0-2 Notre Dame is hosting a middling Pac 12 program and the stadium is completely packed (take notes UCLA!).

Notre Dame up 24-17 w/ 2:44 left in the game, playing with a lot of spirit but the Irish offense is so limited.

Penn State looks strong.  I wish another Big Ten team played at least one tough non-conference game.

3:30 window has been GOOD.

Tulane getting super aggressive to secure the upset was great.

Cal didn't beat ND, but did enough to fill the Irish fans with all sorts of dread. 

Wisconsin is murdering this terrible NMSU team. Nice to see the backups get some burn.

Me too.  Going on the road to face an SEC team is awesome.  MSU on the road tonight against a PAC team is good too, especially if they can win. When Minnesota scheduled Colorado- it was probably a decent matchup.  Same with OSU/ND.

Honestly I try to watch Michigan for a few minutes today as well as Wisconsin, but both were unlikable as it looked like they were playing high school teams.

well let’s be realistic- Loading up with cupcakes like Michigan did is actually a very smart play. It impresses the voters and the fans in the media, helps you in the rankings, helps insulate your stat sheet, gives you tons of experience for your less experience players, and keeps your best players from getting injured while giving them tuneups. There really is no downside.

Michigan backup QB McNamara out a “few weeks” with lower body injury.

GT clearly better off ditching option football.

Okay, Exhibit A on how to take a statistic and THINK you're using it, but it falling apart.

Miss State going for it on 4th and 1 repeatedly in the first half, including at their own 20.
The statistics say you should almost always go for it.  Great.  MSU seems to be employing this idea......and running the same play every time!
.
Here's a hint:  the math only works out IF YOU DON'T RUN THE SAME PLAY EVERY TIME

I didn’t realize how poor his pocket presence was until watching someone else against the same defense that had decent pocket presence. Sucks to see him get hurt, but also think he’s been lucky he stayed healthy this long.

Penn State looks good. Very good. I think it could be argued they look like the #1 team in the conference.

Also, Auburn is crap salad.
And yes, I said this before the game, on the board.

Gophers finally get a game next week.  There has been no resistance through three weeks.

Also....maybe wore the best helmets of all time.  Oversized 'M' on chrome gold?  Hell yes.  Fu**ing rules.
