It's pitch dark outside. Daylight Savings Time starts tonight, which gives us a bit of time where it isn't pitch dark, until it is again. Totally worth the effort. Not sure what I'll be doing today - Buckeyes play at noon, and the kids will be at the wife's parents. And the wife isn't working. Will we actually go out and do something together? Possibilities are endless. Or will we fall asleep on the couch at 6? Adventure knows no bounds.
Schedule:
- Noon, FOX, #5 Ohio State at Nebraska
- Noon, ESPN2, Illinois at #20 Minnesota
- 3:30, ABC, #3 Michigan State at Purdue
- 3:30, BTN, #21 Wisconsin at Rutgers

Thanks to the change of weekends for the end of daylight savings, the sun won't come up here in MSP until after 8 AM. Very dark departure for the Flats and the game vs. the Fighting Berts.
Fantastic weather, though. High of 61, but our seats will be in the shade the whole game.

We only have 6-7 more weeks of play,stay on the couch plenty of adventure there,you're welcome

It's light here now, just before 8.
yes, mid-60s this afternoon. I'm going golfing at 1pm. The Husker game won't be over, but I assume the Husker game will be over.
I've packed it in for this, Frost's 4th season. I'll watch, but all I have is the hope of an upset the last few games.
the weather is too good for a pot of chili today, but the weather the past week was perfect and got me craving chili, so.. it's going in the pot this morning. Not my competition recipe, but some ground beef and pork and only a bit of heat. This way my daughter will enjoy it. Sadly, no beans.
I've got the coffee going with a bloody scheduled for 10am, pre-kickoff
-
60°F here today and PC, 36°F forecast low tonight. The past few days have been a bit dreary/cloudy, so some sun is welcome even if it gets here late.
The Dawgs play at noon, which is OK for a game with a 39 point spread. I'm interested whether UK can turn it around or lets their season evaporate, and whether Tenn is a scoring machine in reality against a pretty good D. Wake is a dog at UNC which is "unusual" for the #9 team. The Auburn/TAMU winner still has a shot at the West and would make the Iron Bowl pivotal either way, probably.
The B1G slate LOOKS predictable, which could means there is an upset there somewhere. Iowa at NW?
-
good games today
the game in the B1G is Sparty and the Boiler
Boiler Defense has been GOOD
I'm hoping for an upset in Lincoln - BIG upset
-
Chilly today. Don’t like it. Maybe need some chili.
Got in a non-strenuous workout, aka, A leg day where I try to not tear my back. Have lunch plans with a friend I haven’t seen in too long, and then going to settle in for some games.
I don’t like the spot for the badgers. Rude game against a team that’s just competent enough. High end let down spot.
-
a Rutgers upset would REALLY surprise me

Howdy.

Howdy.
HOWDEEEE!

A seasonable 59 here in South Florida. Feels GREAT.
Some decent games today.
-
Our Tough Guy outing was a lot of fun yesterday. Just insane pin placements. Cold wasn't an issue. Wife made chili last night. Quite a good scratch effort.
Need to get new winter coat for the 10yr old. Kids grow you know.

Howdy.

chili is in the pot
kitchen is clean

does Howdy Doody have wooden nuts????
-
Howdy.
Yo

Weather's too nice for chili here, too. Sunny, high of 69.
Doesn't matter, we've got kids' soccer games all day long anyway. Won't watch much college football today.
-
Garrett Wilson out today
-
so, a one score loss is just a bit more possible
still loaded with pass catchers

Garrett Wilson out today
COVID?

Wake is a dog at UNC which is "unusual" for the #9 team.
Perhaps the oddsmakers know more than the committee
-
Dog slept in, and then I took him for a 3 mile walk. He's spent.
Running the smoker today for ribs. Will be smoking 2 batches of tomatoes to freeze for later use in smoked tomato bisque first.
2 of 3 kids are going with my wife to her dad & stepmom's house to do crafts, leaving me to tend to the smoker and watch the Purdue game.
-
Good work. My i s c & a aggie wife is under the impression that my smoker requires a whole lot of tending. And she loves BBQ, so I get zero honey-dos on days when I'm slaving over that hot pit "all day."
I'll never let her know that basically all I have to do is throw one new split on, about once per hour, and the rest sorts itself out. :)
-

I have pondered a ranking of teams based solely on the "odds", There would be some issues with syllogism, but I bet it would be more accurate.
-
saw this on facebook so, gotta be true
Whoever pulled the fire alarm at OSU's team hotel at 3:00 a.m. that wasn't cool, by the way that's a nice layout for a hotel, I really enjoyed the pool.
-
In Tucson today. Campus going all out last night for homecoming. There was a parade, a pep rally, fireworks and a bonfire. Early noon kickoff today. 0-8 Arizona will face a Cal team down “multiple Cal football players on COVID List, Will miss Saturday’s game.” Weather gorgeous - high-70s & sunny.
-
COVID?
Concussion symptoms from last week.

Rib pics later please. I Live vicariously through many meals that you and others post here lol.

Rib pics later please.
That'll work

Fox (and all sports) could really, really learn the value of not talking over everything. They are prattling on about the chills they have watching Nebraska's entrance. Hey, gosh, maybe let the viewers experience that, instead of Reggie Bush talking about it.

the Bloody is money as usual
Game time, Baby!!

Nice day in Lincoln,Buckeyes - dayum 4th Down.Got some meat loaf,sweet & mashed potatoes,fresh green beans and various crafts 😎.
-
great throw on 4th by Stroud
-
Ruckert can't make the play
-
Nice play all around - i thought he had and came out when he hit the tutrf
-
notice the pic of the counter and sink I sometimes eat sammichs over
-
Thought they should have gone for that
-
kicker should make that, but.....
oh well

Well versed in the culinary arts you are,washing them down with the sudsy concoctions i trust - Probiotics

Whole lotta Smith-Njigba

Nice pick
-
Bad decision on that toss,put in Jack Miller,oops,never mind
-
helluva play by Jojo
he musta heard me when the earlier pass bounced off his sternum
-
Fighting Bert's cash in on a Tanner Morgan interception. First two Gopher drives go nowhere, 7 0 Illinois.
-
Man Stroud just has no interest in running. Passed up a shot at the first down to just throw it away
-
Oof. Make it 14 0
-
Minnesota's run defense is getting absolutely shredded
-
"Skers nice punt and over the shoulder snag

A rock fight has broken out in Nebraska
-
Man Stroud just has no interest in running.
May be next year when he puts on a few more pounds
-
"Skers nice punt and over the shoulder snag
was hoping it would bounce inside the ten
damn!
-
Huskers with a good start/first quarter
could be a one score loss
-
Defenses have shown up,Stroud is going to take off just to keep the D guessing
-
hey, we're playing in Lincoln!!!
no need for that PI flag!!
-
ok, makeup call
-
Hey a Stroud keeper!
-
Klatt has his stats backward.
Quoted Ohio State as only having 8 yards rushing a few minutes ago. That was a Nebraska statistic.
-
Buckeye offense feels too cute
-
“You are talking analytics ( which I LOVE yours by the way). I’m sure not disagreeing with the analytics.
i’ll say it a different way: If Ohio State beat Nebraska three to nothing, and beat Michigan State 3 to 2, and beats Purdue 2 to nothing, and beat Michigan 6 to 3-as a fan of Ohio State I will be incredibly joyful.
You may have noticed- while I have made comments in the section, I have actually not voted in the rankings.”
This post of mine from the rankings to read a few days ago might be aging very well lol

Mine is even easier. Set the vents and it'll hold temp for hours with no intervention.

Martinez with the run!

I'm gonna need a beer or three for this game aren't I

I don't think the DB disrupted that catch... The receiver just biffed it.

Is Gus Johnson ok? 75 yard touchdown and he's like, hey, there's a score for the Buckeyes

Ok he's awake now

the equalizer!!!!

Excellent play design against one high look.

thank you

Damn Furnace Tech stops by an we run thru the check list for Furnace and Heat Pump (can't be too careful up here).In the mean time 27 pts scored.Already then so where were we? Oh ya "Skers suck"

It's 4th and 6, but the Gophers gave to go for it. They may not get the ball more than once after this.

C'mon OC 2 ineligables down field.Do over

Crap Buckeyes digging themselves into a hole - another flag,holding,nice.3 friggin' penalties in one set of downs

Buckeyes offense has to wake up now

Gophs might be the most inexplicable team in the B1G this year
-
Jesus that 4 penalties in the last 6 offensive plays for tOSU.Day needs to light some one up,1st down good guys ;D
-
Moving the sticks that's 2 1st downs in as many tries ;D
-
Ohio State "tackling" there, big yikes
-
C'mon Buckeyes act like you're a contender
-
Ohio State "tackling" there, big yikes
Set up by a stop on third down by Ohio State, nullified by a holding call where the linebacker was blocked into the running back but yet I guess that’s a holding?
-
@#!%$^*&( Penalties WTF 6 flags in this quarter
-
Nebraska will find a way to tie the game and then lose it. It's just what they do.
They might be the best bad team in America this year.

I think of the best bad team being a bad team, who keeps finding ways to play above their heads.
I think Nebraska might be the worst good team

on second thought, this is probably the correct phrasing.
They are "better than their record" but like Parcells said- you are what your record says you are.
Nebraska should have a better record than they do- but they don't. So yeah- they just might be the worst good team.
-
Some really rough playcalling today. I think like five people in the box on that pick? Inexcusable.
-
Scott Frost could save his ass if he wins this one today. He won't.
-
Probably a late hit, but also definitely a block in the back on the return.

Martinez had Faulk wide open. Threw it 20 yards over his head. Damn that was ugly.
-
And there's the Nebraska moment
-
And there's the Nebraska moment
hahahahaha. it's so on cue, it's pathetic.
Martinez beefs a wide open short throw which would've given them 1st and goal. FG kicker shanks basically an extra point attempt.
Jesus Christ.
-
Probably a late hit, but also definitely a block in the back on the return.
Ya how does the ref call Ruckert for a block that carried out of bounds but doesn't count the clip right in front of the ball carrier and Himself :character0029:
-
That FG looked like me running uphill.
-
Ohio State going to score points here and game is over.
-
Minnesota goes down. How was #16 for Minnesota not ejected? The Illinois player took a knee, and he just launched himself right at his head. It was a late hit and targeting. For all of the BS calls for targeting, how is that one allowed?
-
How does a tipped pass get an IG call? We live in strange times.

Looks like Bert calling his guys out worked. Illinois has back to back road wins vs ranked teams.
-
that one looks too close to call. I'd keep ruling on the field if it was me.
-
Martinez is really bad at passing....
-
should've been a PI. Ohio State got away with one. BAD no call right there.
-

I agree. But it makes up for the egregious holding on Martines’s scramble two plays earlier.
-
The receiver should have tried for the ball. Instead, he just fell down trying to sell the call, made it look uncatchable.
-
Does Stroud play for Nebraska? Take the sack, bro. Jeez.
-
Does Stroud play for Nebraska?
Ryan Day must have bet on this game. WTF
-
Really why is he throwing around 2 minutes now it's 3rd & 16
-
Ryan Day keeps throwing the ball....like run it....and end the game bro.
-
Picked up 11
-
from 46 yds and good no struggles for Ruggles - MVP,4 for 4

Ball game.
LOL @ Nebraska.
-
So when kickers make a big kick, in their minds, are they going, "I'm Nate Kaeding, BITCH!"??
-
Chambers yes
-
Smith-Njigba in the Buckeye record books.
-
PJ can fire Sanford anytime now.

Wake may be going down

Taking the over may have been the easiest bet I made all week

How much do you make on an over/under? I thought UGA-MIZ was way too high.
-

So far
Wake right back in the red zone
-

Same as anything, depends on the number. I'm mad I didn't take that as part of a parlay. I loved it, but I bet it separately.
Instead I took SMU -5, and they lost. Granted I also had OSU -14 as part of it, so I lost either way
-
MSU gives you everything between the 20s, like an NFL defense, Purdue actually makes them pay in the red zone, which teams have largely NOT been able to do
-
So far
Wake right back in the red zone
Amazing that two touchdowns have been scored since I posted that
-
I don't bet, but if I only chose the ones that stood out to me, I'm sure I'd do well. I was right about UGA-Miz, they were 10 points under. I figured UGA would get the big halftime lead and sit on it, and Mizzou wasn't good enough to put up any garbage-time points.
-
If you're UNC's DC, do you just leave this year blank on your resume? Lie and say you were traveling or something?
-
QB could have dumped it,C'Mon Spoilers
-
MSU has to have the most weirdly fickle fan base. It's not the largest, but when they feel like it, they show up, and then easily stop caring. It honestly sounds like there are more MSU fans there than Purdue fans, just like at Northwestern and Miami (low bar). And I remember when Dantonio first got there, it was similar. IIRC they set the Champs Sports Bowl attendance record in his first year (even playing against Boston College's non existent fan base) simply based off how many MSU fans travelled. Yet like one year removed from the CFP, home MSU games were empty except against like UM or OSU. They are either 110% or 10%, no in between
-

WF- UNC have officially "Nickeled." Is that what I called it? I forget.
-
Wisconsin has been trying to give away the West Division all year, but nobody else wants it. So they will win it by default, I suppose.
-
Bell,damn
-
Purdue,YES TD
-
MSU gives you everything between the 20s, like an NFL defense, Purdue actually makes them pay in the red zone, which teams have largely NOT been able to do
And again. Maybe switch things up? The whole clamp down in the red zone ain't working today.
Fairly surprising considering every time Purdue runs the ball it's like just taking a knee.
-
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MEAN GENE!!! YOU DON'T JUST WALTZ INTO ROSS-ADE STADIUM....
(https://i.imgur.com/OPV8MIB.jpg)
-
Does #7 ever cover without just grabbing a jersey?
-
So down starting WR, starting LT, and a surprise absence from our kicker.
Maybe a 42 yard FG isn't the time to use the true freshman walk on?
-
Nothing says commitment to your Alma Mater like sweating your butt off at halftime in mostly empty aluminum bleachers watching your 0-8 home team go toe to toe in a 0-0 game with a Cal team missing about a dozen players thanks to COVID protocols.
-
Shees Sparty gets lucky there
-
Purdue - 24 yd punt,nice

BEAR DOWN!

Stupid to even punt it.
They said the Purdue defense is playing well? They played well on one drive. Otherwise MSU has marched right down the field, and lost a fumble, and then got backed up on a phantom chop block call and the walk on backup kicker missed a FG.

Well, they answered the bell
-
Two calls (not saying right or wrong) have been the two biggest plays of the game
-
How much do you make on an over/under? I thought UGA-MIZ was way too high.
The bet for an over/under is listed as "-110" odds, meaning that in order to win $100, you'd have to lay down a $110 bet. That's true whether you're betting the over or the under.
That extra $10 is known as the "vig" and is what makes the casino money, because you need to be right 55%+ of the time to come out ahead against the house.
So the bets are always just slightly worse than even money.

TD Anthrop!

I've never seen a double reverse screen pass in my life, but hell, it worked!
-
That gunner turning up too soon = 45-yard penalty.
-

Helluva play design.

what is it with Purdue when they play top 10 teams? Jesus Christ man.
-
The defense looks like it has zero interest in playing today. At least four guys had a chance to make a tackle, didn't get juked, didn't have their tackle get broken, just half-assed the tackle

this game had HUGE let down possibility. On the road- after a crazy 16 point 4th QTR comeback vs the main rival- MSU might've blew their emotional load last week.

Well they were down 16 last week albeit at home.Just feed the rock to walker here

I truly do not understand the strategy behind the wildcat if the RB isn't a threat to throw. They aren't even sending anyone out to cover Thorne, so you don't even have numbers
-
What the hell was Spoilers doing letting time tick off
-
Am I the only one annoyed by talking about a QB "spinning it"?
It's only slightly more annoying than hearing a team wants to "be multiple".
-

A - extra blocker
B - if no extra blocker bc no one is covering the QB - THROW TO THE QB
-
Big yikes from Purdue fans booing officials, is basketball bleeding over?
-
A - extra blocker
B - if no extra blocker bc no one is covering the QB - THROW TO THE QB
Hence the "if the RB isn't going to throw" portion of my original post. They don't send anyone to follow the QB, and he still doesn't ever throw it
-

That was a pretty weak unsportsmanlike flag. Not wrong, mind you, but weak.

Yeah, I'm agreeing with you. They're being dumb.
-
Speaking of dumb things MSU keeps doing, all of this pre snap motion on punts. It was the correct call on the motion penalty, cost us 50 yards, and is the 4th or 5th time we've been called for it this year.
-
Penn State up 7-6 on Maryland, 4th QTR just starting. Did not think this one would be that close.

Well, crap.

Tucker is a heckuva coach. He instill that never give up, never die mentality. Michigan State just does not go away. He gets those guys fighting for 60 minutes. That is a hallmark of a great coach imo.
If I'm LSU I line up the brinks truck.
-
Oh geez refs
-
Oh geez refs
Yeah, that roughness call looked a little weak too. Defender was locked up, whistle hadn't been blown, he was in a position where he couldn't likely see how close he was to the sideline.
They're calling this one tight as hell.
-
That didn't look weak. That was the correct call
-
The targeting wasn't weak.
-
Spoilers back up and we have a game
-
At this rate Purdue might gain more than 40 yards on the ground today!
-
The targeting wasn't weak.
No it wasn't but it wasn't intentional either and the kid shouldn't get tossed
-
No it wasn't but it wasn't intentional either and the kid shouldn't get tossed
That's an argument about the rule. But the rule as it exists today was applied correctly IMHO.
-
The targeting wasn't weak.
The situation was weak. That collision wasn't weak. But it's football. The QB lead in with his head, too. I have no idea what the defender was supposed to do differently, aside from go against all coaching he's had since he was 7 years old and absorb the contact instead of instigate it.

Can't screw off his head there it kinda goes where the torso and feet take it

Coulda been worse Spoilers 31
Sparty 21

Idk, I played a lot of football when I was younger and a lot of the more closely-called stuff is easy - sideline collisions, late hits vs the whistle, PI on both sides......but the defender vs an oncoming QB is not one of them. You're expecting a guy to just blindly predict if the QB is going to slide or not, duck his head or not, etc.
It can't be done. You either guess right or you go against all previous coaching you've gotten. Football can be made more safe, but it can't be made totally safe. This effort to make it totally safe is silly.

I know. But that's the rule.
Agree the defender basically couldn't avoid what he did. But he still went straight helmet to helmet.
-
Are you the "rules are rules" guy?
-
MSU can't afford dark green medical tape?
-
MSU is going to lose.

He's going in for a tackle he wasn't leading with his head,not spearing/targeting
TD here may ice it for Broheim
-
Badgers opening a can of whoop ass
left them for dead- but they've rebounded and looks like they'll run away with the West.
-
Are you the "rules are rules" guy?
No.
Bu just saying it's two different arguments. It wasn't a bad call. It's a bad rule.
-
Spoilers 16 wins vs top 5 opponents
-
Decent job MSU did keeping Purdue out of the endzone
-
I ... I was wrong to be worried.
-
Spoilers 16 wins vs top 5 opponents
if only Brohm could get them to play like that vs everyone- Purdue would never lose.
-
Purdue has a 93.1% win probability according to ESPN right now.

-
Not yet truly a three-score game, but now it's a 2TD + 2x 2PT-conversion game.

so was Michigan.....(*crying*)
-
lmao...MSU down 16 pounds with 6 mins left and they keep feeding Walker- and he keeps delivering. It's nuts.
-
kinda crazy how no one can tackle Walker. Like ever.
-
Watch MSU pull it off again.....
-
that incomplete call on the Bell TD might just be what loses Purdue this game if they lose it.
Can someone PLEASE explain to me how that is not a TD catch? How does the NCAA still have that bullshit "Calvin Johnson" rule?
-
Now a one TD plus 2 PT game
-
Of course it has to be Maliq Carr.
-
Now a one TD plus 2 PT game
off the back of a 35 yard run that Walker ripped off.
How many teams would actually run the RB down 16 points with 6 mins left in a game? Lol.
-
Well at least Purdue has a solid run game to burn clock and finish this off...
...oh shit.
-
OK that didn't suck.
-
46 yd pick up on screen,good game
-
Well at least Purdue has a solid run game to burn clock and finish this off...
...oh shit.
all you need is a FG and this one is over.
-
1st down spoilers,dayum
-
If I'm Purdue I might just go for it on 4th down. I'd rather try to pick up the first and kick the FG and end the game then give this annoying ass pesky MSU team the ball back.
-
Brohm getting wise about the clock,can't turn it back like tomorrow
-
I feel like Purdue will score 400 against OSU
-
Well they won't surprise like last time.Time to get even,and Spoilers seals it - let's kill these bastards
-
How is it that Purdue can suddenly run the ball in the one situation where MSU knows we really want to run the ball?
-
I feel like Purdue will score 400 against OSU
but OSU will score 401 on Purdue.
-

Nah, it's in Columbus.
-
I wouldn't want to be Ohio State now.
-
I wouldn't want to be Ohio State now.
They have to play Purdue, MSU, and Michigan.

ball game
-
I wouldn't want to be Ohio State now.
I do,Buckeyes want revenge for '18 - don't get mad get even
-
I don't know if Purdue is Xerxes, but David Bell is definitely his cousin. I don't think there is a better WR in the country.
-

Purdue will need the other two next week end
-
Purdue; where top 5 teams go to die.
-
Boilers now 17 wins vs top 5 teams
-
I don't know if Purdue is Xerxes, but David Bell is definitely his cousin. I don't think there is a better WR in the country.
Oddly enough, I think Rondale Moore is by far the more electrifying football player, but Bell is SO FAR ahead of him as a pure WR.
Gonna miss Bell next year.
-
Fun game to watch! Thanks, PU!
-
7-0, LSU over Bama
-
7-0, LSU over Bama
surprising...but Bama will demolish them in the end imo.

call me crazy but I'd love to see Brohm with a QB talent like JJ McCarthy. I'd transfer there if I was JJ.

I wouldn't transfer there behind that OL.
-
I wouldn't transfer there behind that OL.
JJ can run and throw on the run. He needs to play for a coach and a system that throws the ball. Kid is wasting away playing behind an inferior player and for an idiot that has no clue how to use him.

No argument, but AOC wasn't "throwing on the run". He was running for his life.
-
No argument, but AOC wasn't "throwing on the run". He was running for his life.
And he still threw for like 600 yards lol.
Trust me- you get a top flight 5* QB prospect- and the OL recruits will follow him.
I don't know how kids don't look at Brohm and this offense and say- man I want to play for that guy. JJ would destroy it at Purdue.

BEAR DOWN!
In what is certainly the worst executed game I’ve ever attended, Arizona pulls out a lifeless 10-3 win over Cal to avoid the much dreaded, much mocked winless season. Between both teams, this game would be like 3rd graders putting on a production of Hamlet - it’s too much for the participants in show. But alas, a win!

If only 500 people "storm" the field, did it really happen?
-
Washington kicking game not messing around. Two times in a row, they've downed punts inside the Oregon 1. First time it ended in a safety.
-
Cincinnati absolutely should be out of the top-10 and probably out of the top-15.
I thought it was embarrassing that Ohio State "only" beat Tulsa by 21 and the Bearcats weren't even close to that. They won by 8 but Tulsa had the ball first and goal inside the Bearcat's 5 yard line with about a minute to play.
Against their crappy schedule the Bearcats needed to win impressively almost every week and they failed.
-
Iowa has a QB now with a live arm and he is not a statue
-
I don't know how much more I can watch of Michigan. This shit is BORING and UGLY.

I figured Dan Mullen would.get another season, but down 30-10 to South Carolina's backup QB, may suggest otherwise

It's raining cats, dogs, and canaries in Seattle.
Oregon took the second half kick and put their first nice drive together in a long time. They're up 17-9 and Washington better get 7 here.
-
Now it's 24-9 Quackers and Washington's offense looks like the Gophers.
-
Lol
They had their chance. If they were legitimate they wouldn't struggle this much against crappy teams

Well, throw OSU and Alabama down the well, too.

You are going to have to explain how OSU and Bama had consistent ugly unimpressive wins over opponents as bad as Tulsa, Navy, and Tulane.

Forgot to photograph the ribs...

Alpha Beta is going to need to come up with an excuse to stay home every Purday Saturday now.

Third string QB. Won the staff did not appear to have much faith in, but he did look pretty good.
-
Also, Mullen has two potential paths. He can go be a national championship level coordinator for a defense of coach lets him run the show and doesn’t need him to be the best recruiter in the room.
Or, he can be the kind of coach who raises up a mid tier program and does more with less.
But unless he lands the exact perfect coordinator, the exact perfect staff at the right job, not that top 3% Coach.

A picture of picked bones tells the story.

This is a generationally-bad Carolina team. Their only SEC win before tonight was by 1 point to an especially bad Vandy.
Mullen has lost the team.
I don't care if half the team had a bad case of the flu....if most of them opted to just not play, it's because they didn't want to, not that they couldn't.
8-4 should have been a certainty, but now .500 isn't even in the bag.
-

OSU already has an ugly win over Tulsa, an ugly loss to Oregon, and their best win isn't as good as Cincinnati's. Why should we let OSU continue in the top 15 when their resume is worse than the Bearcats?
-
A lot of ugly looking wins by upper level teams yesterday, and the two Ls. I have no clue how LSU stayed close at Bama, and I watched most of it. I agree the Gators have mailed it in, Mullen is going to face questions, but still won't be fired, he might leave for somewhere (NFL???). A&M had a nice game, shut down Auburn. Auburn has the potential to beat Bama on the Plains. It's a tough place to play.
Way to go Purdue! When a QB gets the hot hand ...
Wake gave up a zillion points, again. The ACC is pretty bad, it seems. Miami won again, beat Tech.

Tomorrow's Top 25 Today: Oklahoma, Alabama to jump Cincinnati in new college football rankings - CBSSports.com (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/tomorrows-top-25-today-oklahoma-alabama-to-jump-cincinnati-in-new-college-football-rankings/)
A summary of how each team looked, in effect, and a lot of ranked teams looked pretty mediocre to bad.
Cincy is not doing itself favors. Bama looked pretty bad. OU was off, so they looked fine, projected to be #2. Wake lost.

Dan Mullen isn't coming back from this
Florida (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/teams/FLA/florida-gators/) might not fire Dan Mullen tomorrow. It might not fire him at the end of the season. Regardless, a 40-17 loss to South Carolina (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/teams/SC/south-carolina-gamecocks/) was a point of no return for one of the proudest programs in college football.
Just weeks ago, South Carolina needed late heroics just to beat Vanderbilt (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/teams/VANDY/vanderbilt-commodores/). Against the Gators, the Gamecocks were down to their third-string quarterback, Jason Brown (https://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/players/playerpage/2820910/jason-brown), a transfer from FCS St. Francis. And yet, the 'Cocks didn't just beat the Gators. They wiped the floor with them.
South Carolina outgained Florida by more than 100 yards of total offense and by more than 200 yards on the ground. Mullen's team was thoroughly undisciplined, unprepared and completely outclassed on both sides to the point that even South Carolina coach Shane Beamer sounded surprised at halftime (https://twitter.com/BenMurphyTV/status/1457154757337010179).
Earlier this week, Mullen made headlines by declining a recruiting question and declaring this time period "Football Time." After that SNAFU, all media availability was cancelled for the rest of the week. Apparently all the extra time didn't do him much good.

Of course yes you see this-good ,but when I was discussing John Cooper with others stumbling his 1st 5 seasons you interjected nonsense.Mullen's Conference Record is better at this point than Coopers was - so give DM a break will you, for 13 seasons.Depends on whose ox is getting gored I guess ;D
-
Sooners have a rough schedule to end their season. If they win out they would deserve the shot.
-
33-14 record (Mullen at Florida)
The team is 4-5, Mullen has a very solid 33-14 record at Florida, but his team is just 2-8 in its last nine games against Power Five teams, and it's clear things are trending in the wrong direction.
-

Perhaps I haven't looked at the computer rankings but that won't be the case after Purdue/MSU/UM.Remember we're cannibalizing each other.The Ducks deserve a seat in front should they win out.Tide shouldn't be too high as they beat a 4-4 team by less than a TD

Gotta win those games first. I dunno why Oregon gets such a pass given they lost to Stanford. That's much worse than struggling with Tulsa.

Coopers 1st season was the programs 1st losing season in 22 yrs and tied for 7th in the BIG - they were not bowl eligible.Next 4 seasons they lost every bowl game and were 3rd(tied),5th,3rd(tied) and 2nd in conference play.Losing 4 straight games to Michigan then tying the last.Then the asshole demanded a raise and an extension - and got it.I'm telling you the pitchforks and torches came out :41:
-
I'd like to see UW play PSU, ND and M again.
-

Well Vegas had WF dogged,so they have something on the ball.On a neutral field Ducks would be a 5 pt fav I'm guessing

I wouldn't say generationally bad because the past two years there have been BAD.
But really, that is an unforgivable loss.
-
I think USCe is worse than they have been in a while, they barely edged Vandy, who is as bad as I've ever seen them. I know Florida had sick players out and playing, but this is a three TD upset. The Gators will need to make some big moves in the off season.
-

At a point, I don't find myself caring about this.
To actually get there, Cincy needs a constellation of outcomes. That constellation can only be visible at season's end. Today's rankings are without meaning. They could be 19th. If there aren't the right number of one-loss P5 teams (maybe with the exception of some unimpressive one-loss conference champs), then they get their spot. And if there are, they don't. Also they have to win all the games, which will be hard as all hell.
Patience is the game, projection the filler.
-
Agree, though it's a sign of the poindextering of the sport. A close, fun win? No, actually it's a loss. In fact, playing the game in the first place is a loss.

Who would have ever thought that there'd be a season where Notre Dame's only loss was to the Bearcats?
Almost incomprehensible.

Kind of like N'Western making the Rose Bowl in a year they lost to Miami (OH).

But even they beat the Irish that year
-
The CFP probably will shake out differently if Bama beats UGA, if they play, than the other way around (presuming both win out). OU looks to be in good shape ITWO.
Ohio State or Oregon should be in ITWO. Cincy ITWO would perhaps hinge in the SEC CG outcome.
-
Kind of like N'Western making the Rose Bowl in a year they lost to Miami (OH).
Or Northwestern making the Big Ten title game with a lost eastern Michigan. Or Wisconsin winning the Big Ten out right after losing to Cincinnati
-
Did any of these things actually happen?

Did any of these things actually happen?
WELL ... I slightly messed that up.
In 2018, NW didn't lose to EMU (I mixed them up with the Purdue team that beat OSU). They lost to 4-8 Akron, as well as 8-5 Duke and won the Big Ten West.
In 1999, Wisconsin lost to 3-8 Cincinnati, then after losing to Michigan, won seven in a row to edge Michigan and MSU for the conference title.
-
Making a Big Ten Title Game out of the West Division isn't in the same ball park as Notre Dame running the table, save Cincinnati.
The B1G West Title is a game of hot potato, more often then not.
-
Florida might lose to Samford in the same year that they beat... um.... let's see here... Tennessee?
-
BB might stop hiding outside in my bushes the same year he finds a friend.
