College Football Week 5 discussion

cartman · 09-23-2014, 01:00 PM

Only one Top 25 matchup this week, and it is on Thursday night.

UCLA at Arizona State

Kodos · 09-23-2014, 01:07 PM

Time for another ass-kicking from Maryland. Great...

cartman · 09-23-2014, 01:14 PM

Don't be greedy, Kodos

Kodos · 09-23-2014, 01:31 PM

Stick with what works!

Iowa travels to Pur-Don't. This works in our HCs favor. He will start Rudock in place of the more effective Beathard, because that is what our coach does. He will avoid the boos and hope Rudock wins the game and shows the fans who should be starting.

Ah, life as a Hawk fan.

Matthean · 09-23-2014, 02:55 PM

Cincinnati @ OSU seems like a sneaky good game. Not sure I could care enough about the Michigan game. They should win it, but a loss is going to be huge.

Mark Dantonio of Michigan State Spartans says only conference champions should play in College Football Playoff - ESPN

Because intentionally losing so you can skip your conference title game and somehow make the playoff makes sense.

Yeah, it would mean a lot more coming from someone who didn't already lose an out of conference game, or play in a traditional power conference everyone thinks is having a horribly down year. If you're that worried about missing out (to SEC#2), go beat Oregon, or schedule some SEC teams. Not Jacksonville State and Eastern Michigan.

Suicane75 · 09-23-2014, 06:59 PM

Looking forward to WMU@VT. Anyone on the board a WMU fan? How good is that Franklin kid they got at RB?

I'll be shocked if Michigan doesn't win by at least 2 touchdowns. I don't think Minnesota will be able to move the ball against them.

Lathum · 09-24-2014, 06:53 AM

UW play a huge game against Stanford. Game is on FOX at 4:15. Looks like I will get fucked, again, as there is a Yankee- Red Sox game on at 1:00 and they are too fucking stupid to switch over from a meaningless baseball game to a huge college football game.

Meaningless game??? Its Derek Jeter's last game - a.k.a. the best Yankee in history according to fan polls!

Butter · 09-24-2014, 12:39 PM

Next to last game.

Kodos · 09-24-2014, 01:08 PM

Well, it is baseball. So, yeah, meaningless!

Buccaneer · 09-24-2014, 01:17 PM

Only when it's the Yankees and Jeter.

I follow them some. I'd say he's going to win MAC freshman of the year if he doesn't get hurt on 25-30 carries a game. I'd settle for scoring on VT (WMU has been shut out in all 3 games vs. the Hokies)

Matthean · 09-25-2014, 09:41 PM

Texas Longhorns' drug-testing efforts double under coach Charlie Strong - ESPN

Interesting to see how this pans out over long term.

CU Tiger · 09-25-2014, 10:11 PM

Strong is a certified Bawse even though I dont like him.

Plus good righteous core values plays very well in Texas living rooms with Mom and Dad.

But thats a dirty little secret we probably dont want to start scratching. It's counterintuitive but a lot of holier than thou HCs are that way BECAUSE it effects recruiting.

Ucla was 3-0 and had fallen twice in the polls after winning.

Last night was slightly more impressive than a 7 point win over Memphis.

Suicane75 · 09-26-2014, 11:11 AM

Memphis is good yo.

BishopMVP · 09-26-2014, 11:20 AM

We'll see tomorrow night!

Kodos · 09-26-2014, 12:54 PM

One thing is certain. The IU-Maryland game will feature the ugliest uniform matchup of the weekend.

HomerSimpson98 · 09-26-2014, 02:41 PM

Is it Shitty Helmet Week in college football?

What about a win at Virginia in the opening game? Cost us a few spots too

tarcone · 09-26-2014, 07:23 PM

Looks like CJ Beathard is going to start for Iowa this weekend. I am very excited about this. I cannot wait to see the offense. He adds a lot of excitement to a very stale product.

Beating a team coming off of a 2-10 season by 8 points isn't going to get voters excited.

MrBug708 · 09-26-2014, 08:34 PM

But beating an FCS team by 50 really proves something

Maybe he can play basketball for Iowa too.

1 score wins where you score 7 points on offense vs a team that's 2-12 vs FBS teams in the last 2 seasons should drop you out of the top 10. Luckily for UCLA nobody will care about close wins early in the year if they win out.

BYU beat UVA by 8 as well... and Texas by 34... Should they have been 8 spots below UCLA in the polls?

To voters? Yes

Look at Marshall. They're playing a schedule worse than some FCS teams and they're getting top 25 votes.

Matthean · 09-27-2014, 06:01 AM

Kind of like keeping your mouth shut and making people think you are smarter than you are.

MizzouRah · 09-27-2014, 07:28 AM

Well, which Mizzou team will we see today?

Iowa makes every defense look good.

EDIT: Iowa had 14 yards of offense in the 1st quarter.

tarcone · 09-27-2014, 03:18 PM

Iowa beats Purdue 24-10. Our B1G championship hopes are still alive.

tarcone · 09-27-2014, 03:25 PM

NC State up 24-7 in the 1st quarter

A guy at work in all seriousness tried to tell me Purdue is a good team.

Matthean · 09-27-2014, 04:51 PM

20-7 Minnesota with Michigan having 114 yards offense. There's zero chance Hoke isn't gone at the end of the year. This is basically a team accepting their fate.

kingfc22 · 09-27-2014, 04:55 PM

Michigan is AWFUL

BishopMVP · 09-27-2014, 05:13 PM

Tajae Sharpe is better than Victor Cruz ever was at UMass. (The D... Not so good.)

Michigan now has 102 total yards. Yup. They have gone backwards 12 yards since my last post.
