Florida' offense seems to just have the LSU defense confused at this point - the 20 yarder up the middle and then nobody within about 30 yards of that guy for the touchdown.

Huckleberry · 10-06-2007, 09:50 PM

This was easily a bigger upset than App St./Michigan. App. State has been better than Stanford for the last few years. USC is better than Michigan.

No contest. Not in terms of name recognition but in terms of team strength.

How do you figure? With a muddle of 5-10 1 loss teams where most of the losses were bad losses to teams that are not rated highly.... how do you decide who goes to the NC game?

You raise a good point. Folks enjoy actively rooting against traditional powerhouses like USC, Michigan, Florida State, etc, but it is not as fun to root against teams like BC, Cal, or South Florida.

Celeval · 10-06-2007, 09:50 PM

20-6 Notre Dame!

Eaglesfan27 · 10-06-2007, 09:50 PM

ND with a defensive TD. Now up 20-6 over UCLA.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 09:50 PM

Damn you UCLA... don't give the Irish their first win! Bunker down!!

Yup.. we'll have a muddle of 1 loss teams with weak schedules with 1 loss teams with strong schedules but a bad loss...

This years NC game debate could be a little out of control.

wade moore · 10-06-2007, 09:52 PM

I don't want parity in my college FB damnit.

JPhillips · 10-06-2007, 09:52 PM

I found an exploit in NCAA football. At the end of the half in the OSU/Purdue game OSU was flagged for grounding. At that point there were 46 sec remaining and the clock stopped. Aren't I right that the clock would have continued had it been a sack? Why does a team get rewarded for grounding with a clock stoppage?

I hope Arlie fixes this in the next version.

No way. Not even close, in my opinion.

The Appy State upset was much bigger.

Swaggs · 10-06-2007, 09:53 PM

I know folks don't have much love for the Big East, but Cincy and Rutgers are playing a very good game on ESPN2.

You can only think that if you're wrapped up in name power.

Appalachian State is a better football team than Stanford. And they have been for the last few years. They would be favored at a neutral location against Stanford.

And it goes without saying that USC is a better team than Michigan and has been for years.

Personally, I like the old traditional bowl system (SEC vs. ACC in the Sugar Bowl; Big 10 vs. Pac 10 in the Rose Bowl, ect).

But as to the NC game, I just think we'll have to let the season play out.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 09:57 PM

Damn... Cincy scores to go up 21-20

If Florida pulls off the win against LSU I don't see any realistic way there isn't a muddle of 1 loss teams at the top at the end of the season.

of course we'll have to see how it goes, but I really don't see any realistic way around it... along with possibly my dreaded scenario of an undefeated Hawaii in that picture possibly too...

Me too. When it was a "mythical" national championship, it was a lot more fun to argue about.

It just made the bowls more meaningful and everyone was excited about going to Rose Bowl, or to the Fiesta Bowl.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:01 PM

CRAP... Cincy intercepts and scores another TD... the wheels are coming off... damn.

I don't see Hawaii getting in the NC picture unless all off the big teams end up with 2 or more losses. I think most voters would take any of the big time 1 loss teams over an undefeated Hawaii team that has played a very soft schedule.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:04 PM

Who had a Cal-BC national champion game?

Though I don't think Cal or BC will get through unscathed.

Celeval · 10-06-2007, 10:04 PM

Great option pitch by Perriloux

cmp · 10-06-2007, 10:06 PM

I can't wait for that South Florida/BC title game.

Tigercat · 10-06-2007, 10:07 PM

LSU players are dropping like flies, especially the OLmen.

Galaxy · 10-06-2007, 10:08 PM

South Florida won today, correct?

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:11 PM

WOW... you just can't miss that FG, LSU kicker!

RendeR · 10-06-2007, 10:12 PM

So Does Ohio State leapfrog Cal Or do the voters give Cal a gimme because they were off this week?

Galaxy · 10-06-2007, 10:14 PM

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:17 PM

What a tackle on 3rd and goal!

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:17 PM

LSU TD!!

Celeval · 10-06-2007, 10:18 PM

I love this game.

Noop · 10-06-2007, 10:18 PM

I cannot root for the Gators so its Geaux Tigers for me.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:19 PM

Come on, Rutgers #88... you HAVE to make that catch!

st.cronin · 10-06-2007, 10:20 PM

So I think there are now 11 undefeateds left:

Boston College
Kansas
Missouri (up big on Nebraska at the half, could still fall)
Connecticut
South Florida
Cincinatti (tentatively)
Ohio State
Arizona State
California
Hawaii
Louisiana State

Celeval · 10-06-2007, 10:22 PM

Looks like he was out at the 14.

Until they lose LSU is still undefeated.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-06-2007, 10:22 PM

I wouldn't count LSU out yet.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:23 PM

Burning a Timeout for that? What?!

Galaxy · 10-06-2007, 10:24 PM

What is the difference in yards? Not a big enough difference for a challenge in my view.

Forgot about them, edited the post.

Tigercat · 10-06-2007, 10:26 PM

That was a bad call to risk that timeout, not enough at stake and you may need a challenge later. But timeouts themselves (outside of challenges) are overrated in college football.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:26 PM

Like 10 yards?

cmp · 10-06-2007, 10:27 PM

Hmmm. I don't think he was out.

Lathum · 10-06-2007, 10:28 PM

huge turnover there, Rutgers needs to make them pay the way cincinnati did earlier in the game.

gotta get 7 here.

ISiddiqui · 10-06-2007, 10:28 PM

3 and out for Florida. Uh oh.

Lathum · 10-06-2007, 10:32 PM

Damn it!!

The last 2 games Rutgers can't make a play when they need it. I bet they don't even get the ball back.

Noop · 10-06-2007, 10:33 PM

They need to bench Flynn.

Tigercat · 10-06-2007, 10:33 PM

They shouldn't have called either player there, all contact was off the initial 5 yard jam. Bad, bad call.
