another weekend of games got underway last night with a nailbiter between the Techs, with VA holding off GA.
the focus this weekend is on the non-AQ schools as two unbeatens face-off in the Mtn West with Utah and TCU. the other non-AQ unbeaten, Boise St, actually plays a game against somebody with a chance to beat them (Hawaii).
in the SEC, LSU and Alabama play what is effectively an elimination game for both the SEC West and the national title picture.
3 other games pitting two ranked teams should also prove interesting: Arkansas vs. South Carolina, Stanford vs. Arizona, and Baylor vs. Oklahoma St.
enjoy...
bucky finally came alive in the second half. i think the badgers caught more throws from purdue's qb than their receivers did.
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
looks like were stuck with Boise and TCU for the rest of the year. the debate will rage on...
LSU looks a lot better than I thought. that was a great win against Bama. Les Miles was "good-crazy" yesterday (a reverse on 4th-and-1!!). is that the same team that came a dropped TD pass away from losing to UNC's Junior Varsity team? or an untimed down away from losing to a dreadful Tennessee?
Iowa St almost pulled the upset of the day, but the holder threw up a wounded duck (and that guy was wide OPEN). the rest of the Big12 coughed up a big hairball, as Oklahoma and Missouri exited stage left...
wacky day...but fun
and here's the tracker...
14 teams, down from 19 (Utah, South Carolina, Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri out)
unbeatens down to 4 from 5
SEC (5): 0 losses - Auburn; 1 loss - LSU; 2 losses - Alabama, Arkansas, Miss St
Big Ten (3): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - Wisconsin, Ohio St, Michigan St
Pac 10 (2): 0 losses - Oregon; 1 loss - Stanford
Big 12 (2): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - Nebraska, Okla St
ACC (0): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - none
Big East (0): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - none
Mountain West (1): 0 losses - TCU
WAC (1): 0 losses - Boise St
MAC (0): 0 losses - none
Conf USA (0): 0 losses - none
Sun Belt (0): 0 losses - none
you could nearly say 11 teams, as this really is NOT shaping up as a year where a two-loss SEC team will make it in. who's the best one-loss team out there? Wisconsin and Nebraska head the list, but neither really looked the part on Saturday... is it Stanford? it might be Ohio State, but they are out of the discussion unless Wisconsin loses again
Nice comeback win for PSU against Northwestern and #400 for JoePa.....
Like that walk-on QB they have, much better than the other freshman....
Ohio State just got a linebacker from Maryland...
The interesting piece to it was that he had Penn St. and Ohio St. as his clear top two choices. All the rumblings have Penn St. struggling to get recruits. Granted, this was a year in which they were only going after 15 or so...but I believe they are sitting at four right now.
So what's the big deal.
The rumors are arunnin'. Paterno was extremely ill in the offseason with an infection in his intestines. He came back much less capable than he had been in the past...which is understandable at 83. He's with the team less than an hour a day at practice, and the coaches aren't filling him in on game planning until Friday.
It's apparently hurting them in recruiting...with a few guys, in a sense, going about it alone. Then, once they get a bead on a kid, instead of Paterno saying, "Go get him," they are meeting in committee, and not agreeing on how and when to pull the trigger.
Now we all know the rumors likely aren't nearly as big or bad as they seem...but...
There are definitely cracks in the armor.
I have to wonder if Fitzgerald...from Northwestern...might be a good fit at Penn State.
I know that everyone is talking Bradley...and they'll likely go there...but boy...that will be a fought-after job IMO...

go northwestern
the school, not the general direction
wisconsin is startin' to roll now
Don't worry...Ohio State will blow out Iowa...
oof, 76-13
20 rather
Northwestern pulls off the upset...
sweet.
San Diego State is up 14-0 on TCU...
Penn State up 14-3 on tOSU...
Notre Dame is hammering Utah...
Penn State really should have taken the points there...They are dominating this game...but getting tOSU all fired up in their own joint is a mistake...and they may need those three points later on...
Of course...with Tressel's play-calling...Penn State may not need to fucking punt the rest of the game...
Hmmm...how's 100,000 OSU fans in your face...
NOW...we'll see who has moxie...
what a turn around. seen the suckeyes were losing so turned the tv to watch and now the bastards are up, this blows.
Well Dale...at least the 'queens can't lose today...
they tried to blow it, amazed they held someone under 30. our local high school team put up 35 on the Michigan D.
suckeyes should pay me to watch their games, this is getting ugly.
Suddenly TCU's blowout win over Utah last week doesn't look so impressive after Notre Dame blew them out again today.
after Notre Dame blew out Utah yesterday, I just can't get behind TCU in the title game. I still think Auburn gets beat by Bama, which will open up a slot. I firmly think a one-loss team like Wisconsin should get in there over Boise/TCU. If both Oregon and Auburn lose, I think the voters absolutely MUST put a one-loss BCS school in ahead of one of them.
okay, here's the new list. none of the 0 or 1 loss teams lost this week. However, I'm going to take out the 2-loss SEC schools now. with the title game set (Auburn - S. Carolina), none of them can make it to the BCS game now. there's just no way...
11 teams, down from 14 (Miss St, Alabama, Arkansas out)
unbeatens still at 4
SEC (2): 0 losses - Auburn; 1 loss - LSU
Big Ten (3): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - Wisconsin, Ohio St, Michigan St
Pac 10 (2): 0 losses - Oregon; 1 loss - Stanford
Big 12 (2): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - Nebraska, Okla St
ACC (0): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - none
Big East (0): 0 losses - none; 1 loss - none
Mountain West (1): 0 losses - TCU
WAC (1): 0 losses - Boise St
MAC (0): 0 losses - none
Conf USA (0): 0 losses - none
Sun Belt (0): 0 losses - none
Like I said...this could be the year that pushes the NCAA over the hump for a tournament. No matter what way you look at it...someone gets screwed. Let's be honest...there isn't a soul on the planet outside of Boise and TCU that thinks they should be in the title game without proving it week after week, or in a tourney. In my opinion...Wisconsin is as good a team as has come out of the Big Ten in awhile (it pains me to say), and I'd love to see them go up against a team like Auburn...who's good...but wouldn't be able to stop the run. Oregon was ripe for the taking last night..too bad that didn't happen...
We shall see...we shall see...
It would have been a fun tournament though...
Seriously...imagine an eight team tournament this year...and the pressure applied to teams like THE Ohio State trying to get into that eight slot...
Would...
Be...
Awesome...
I've always thought that you take your six BCS conference champs and two at-large. whatever ties you need for the non-AQ's as far as the at-large...fine.
Maybe in a year like this with two unbeatens, it would be Boise and TCU. of course, that would be a controversy also, with one-loss OSU, LSU, and Stanford getting beaten out. but all 3 of those teams lost on the field to keep themselves from a conference title. so, it's harder to complain.
I'd also have a way to lose your automatic, if like the Big East this year, your champ isn't at least top 15.
this shouldn't be so fuckin' hard.
But..some of these BCS leagues aren't any good...or similar to the smaller conferences...like the Big East and the ACC...so the conferences would have to change...
first...
I like the idea of taking out rankings...but conference championships...unless they all have a championship game...I don't know...
yeah, poj, if an "automatic" conference like the Big Least or ACC doesn't perform, you take away their bid (make it so the champ has to at least be top 15) and add an at-large. this year, you could get an LSU in instead of Pitt or Syracuse (or whatever shit team comes out of there).
but I've always been a big proponent of earning it on the field. if a conference doesn't have a championship game? so what? let each conf decide for themselves.
this could be "hurty"

Get a load of this
One end zone for offense at Wrigley
Only one end zone will be used for offense Saturday at Wrigley Field for the Illinois-Northwestern game because of safety concerns, the Big Ten announced Friday.
The east end zone is just feet away from the right-field wall, and although there is padding, there still were concerns that players could be injured there.
Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald had said this week that he would have different game plans for each end zone to avoid the possibility of injury.
When a team is on offense Saturday, it will be positioned to head to the west end zone.
"Though it's not ideal, it's the right thing," Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "We've been planning for this for a while, there were no surprises. The field came out the way we thought, it ended up maybe being a little closer with some of the padding.
"As we looked at it -- the visual aspect of it -- this week, we just felt there was a low probability that something would happen. But had we taken every step that we could to ensure that the safety was maximized, and that we did everything we possibly could under our purview to make it as safe as possible? And the more we thought about it, the more we talked about it, we looked at it, we just felt like this was something we needed to do. And it was complete uniformity between the Big Ten conference, and Northwestern and Illinois. At the heart of it was to make sure we had done everything we could to make it safe."
In a statement issued by the Big Ten, the following changes will be made:
• All offensive plays will head toward the west end zone, including all extra points and all overtime possessions.
• All kickoffs will be kicked toward the east end zone.
• After every change of possession, the ball will be repositioned for the offense to head toward the west end zone.
• As a result of a coin toss held by the conference office Friday morning, Illinois will occupy the west team bench in the first half and Northwestern will occupy the west team bench in the second half and for all overtime periods.
"The health and safety of our student-athletes is of the utmost importance," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said in the statement. "Both Illinois and Northwestern did significant due diligence over the past 18 months, but after seeing the actual layout of the field, all parties felt that it was appropriate to adjust the rules to further enhance the safety of our student-athletes. Wrigley Field is one of the most historic venues in the country, and playing the Illinois-Northwestern game at this facility will provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for student-athletes, coaches and fans."

That is about a load of shit, why schedule a game where it can't be played properly? Makes no sense to me.
the next one is on an aircraft carrier
nevermind, that's hoops
The layout really is boneheaded, as the play will always be in one direction. Who wants to sit on the right field side, if the action is always going away from the fans seated there?
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”― Stephen Hawking
Not to mention tickets have already been bought for the game, I would be pissed right off if I bought a end zone seat then found out about this.
Using Google Image (football at wrigley), take a look at the way the field was set for football in the old days. It wasn't much better. Also check out "Football at Yankee Stadium", there wasn't much of an improvement.
