2 point conversion is good! Momentum is on USC's side!

Disregard the last 15 posts or so.

The Big XII North sucks. It looks like all six teams from the South could end up bowl eligible this year.

What was all that talk back when the Big 12 was formed that the SWC needed it more than the Big 8?

Throw in TCU and Houston, and the former SWC teams aren't looking bad at all this season.

k0ruptr · 10-28-2006, 05:34 PM

damn beavers.

larrymcg421 · 10-28-2006, 05:34 PM

I still don't understand why USC didn't go for two earlier. You need three scores and will have to go for two points twice. Why not go for it on the first two instead of the last two? This is really one of the most baffling things about modern football strategy.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-28-2006, 05:35 PM

Sack and FUMBLE ... GT has the ball & a 7 pt lead with under 5 minutes left.

cartman · 10-28-2006, 05:35 PM

Ga. Tech takes the lead over Miami 23-16.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-28-2006, 05:36 PM

Meanwhile, Tebow fumbles & UGA has the ball inside the FLA 20 with 9:30 left.
Still 21-7 Florida but Georgia threatening to get back in it.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-28-2006, 05:38 PM

Tashard Choice right up the middle, it's 30-16 GT with 3:49 left.

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 05:41 PM

Gut check time for OSU and USC.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2006, 05:41 PM

The FG is no good!!! And that announcer must have a really bad viewpoint. It never looked good.

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 05:42 PM

Georgia scores. UF still leads 21-14.

It's psychology. The team is finally starting to get momentum going and if you miss the 2 there it kills the team's spirit.

You need 2 2's anyway. Why not wait until you've scored another TD and have things going your way.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-28-2006, 05:43 PM

And Miami is right back in the hunt, it's 30-23 with 2:37 left after that big TE just shed two tacklers & went the distance for a score.

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 05:44 PM

Win or lose, Oregon State's DBs have played a really nice game against some excellent WRs.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2006, 05:45 PM

Man. The defense has to step up again..

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 05:46 PM

I don't like Oregon State not running on first down here. They need the clock to be moving.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2006, 05:48 PM

Darn. That run on 3rd and 8 for a first is a heart breaker.

cartman · 10-28-2006, 05:48 PM

Huge 1st down for the Beavers.

I'm glad to see he's doing well. He was the 4th team RB at Oklahoma before he transferred to Ga. Tech, and now he has a chance to show his talent.

Noop · 10-28-2006, 05:49 PM

Bye Larry. I already knew you were gone away but now I am sure your replacement will be Coach Shannon until the season is over.

cartman · 10-28-2006, 05:50 PM

And that's the ballgame for Nebraska. On 3rd and 10, their QB fumbles the ball, it rolls right to an Oklahoma State player who returns it for a TD. 41-23 Cowboys.

A 1 loss OSU would probably still be ahead of those teams.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-28-2006, 05:53 PM

Miami just fumbled a massive punt by GT, Jackets ball with :19 left.

Second huge punt of the day by Durant Brooks, who really might just be the player of the game for GT. (Had a career long 63 yd punt from his own end zone earlier when the game was still tied).

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2006, 05:53 PM

What a huge stop by the defense.

Really? OSU losing their last game to Michigan would still keep them ahead of an undefeat Louisville or West Virginia? That'd be kinda whack, in my opinion.

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 05:54 PM

I go for the kick here, I think.

cartman · 10-28-2006, 05:54 PM

I have a feeling Oregon State is gonna run a fake...

It would be whack

larrymcg421 · 10-28-2006, 05:55 PM

Bye bye, Coker.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2006, 05:55 PM

Come on, block it!!!!

False Start will force a punt.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-28-2006, 05:56 PM

UGA gets the ball back at their own 42 after forcing a punt ... and promptly gets handed a 3-and-out. Punting it back to Florida with 3:50 to play, Gators still lead 21-14. Florida has missed a pair of 40ish yd FG's today to keep this one in doubt.

Happened in 2001 when Nebraska got shredded by Colorado 62-36. Their very next game was the national championship.

yeah. granted, the BCS formula has changed a few times since then, but I'm sure it could happen that way again.

Joe · 10-28-2006, 05:59 PM

oof bad time for a penalty

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 05:59 PM

I think the arguments against the OSU/Mich loser playing in the title is that it is too late in the season for them to recover in the human polls from AND the human voters, outside of B10 country, would probably shy away from giving the loser the chance to make the season series a 1-1 tie, as then there would still be a question as to which is the better team.

robbgmaier3 · 10-28-2006, 06:01 PM

that foot is out

cartman · 10-28-2006, 06:01 PM

here comes another Pac-10 replay call in the state of Oregon...

Swaggs · 10-28-2006, 06:02 PM

This could be a $15M call for USC.

larrymcg421 · 10-28-2006, 06:02 PM

I think he's out there. It looks like his foot touched the edge of the white.

cthomer5000 · 10-28-2006, 06:03 PM

nice USC payoff on that replay.

robbgmaier3 · 10-28-2006, 06:03 PM

guy is a usc fan, and they are millimeters you moron

larrymcg421 · 10-28-2006, 06:05 PM

Well if the replay officials are Oregon fans, then they certainly aren't going to give any calls to Oregon St.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-28-2006, 06:06 PM

TD! STEVE SMITH!!!

henry296 · 10-28-2006, 06:06 PM

If #4 for OSU doesn't fall for the play fake, he would've nailed Booty.

robbgmaier3 · 10-28-2006, 06:06 PM

so when the guy in black pushes off, it's PI, and when the guy in white pushes off, it's not... i see....
