Then why's Alabama there?

The committee's putting SoS high up there it seems; Big 12's backloaded; if they win out, they'll be there. Same with Iowa State.

To be fair Alabamas one loss are better than all of those no loss teams.

 

[Chris R]

Kansas state is 3-6.

Well they were 3-1 at the time. I'd still rank a KSU win over a Temple win.

 

[Affeinvasion]

You're out of your mind. Who cares what they were at the time? The Big XII would have some reasonable way to combat the "conference is garbage" claims if they didn't schedule the worst OOC opponents of all the major conferences.

Oklahoma St.

Two quality wins (KSU, TCU) over ND's one (USC)

Indiana and Minnesota are a hell of a lot better than their records indicate, but there's no way I'd think of including them in Iowa's quality wins (Pitt, Wiscy, and jNW.)

 

[Monroeski]

Oklahoma St.

Two quality wins (KSU, TCU) over ND's one (USC)

Oklahoma State's wins over TTU, WVU, and possibly ISU are all ahead of KSU as far as wins to brag about, and nobody really cares about wins over TTU, WVU, and ISU.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Well they were 3-1 at the time. I'd still rank a KSU win over a Temple win.

Kansas State was 3-0 when they played Gondo State.

Those 3 wins were over: South Dakota, Texas-San Antonio, and Louisiana Tech. And now Kansas State sits at 3-6.

This is not the resume of a quality opponent.

Nebraska should hire him.

We've got enough random dice rolling, though we could use the luck

 

[Lonestar]

It's going to be hilarious when inevitably the committee tries to justify Notre Dame getting in over a Big 12 team because the Big 12 doesn't play a championship game.

I'd put a 2 loss Stanford in over a 1 loss Baylor, TCU or Okie State.

WOW. Guess those Miami rumors were true

e: Charlie Strong resigned

wait wat

you mean carrying him off the field on shoulders didn't help keep the Strong Man?

sorry. I edited. Some writer got fooled by a fake account and RTd it. Live and learn

Strong addressed the Miami rumors and said "they're just rumors"

lol I know what you mean, but he's going to get support to hire a new OC and any other assistants he might need to replace.

Any good chance of UCLA going to a decent bowl game if they can find a way to beat Utah and USC?

I hear San Diego is lovely this time of year.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

It is kind of weird for me to see them talk about getting rid of Les. Tons of schools would love to have him right now.

He's definitely B-tier at this point though. That NC of his was a) a long time ago now; b) arguably a product of riding Saban's coattails; c) a fucking 2-loss team anyway; and d) if any non-SEC school had been SHUT THE FUCK OUT in a national title game it would have been LOOLOLOLOLOL all day. Fuck LSU. I look forward to them falling off a cliff.

I agree, after all they're undefeated when playing Stanford football.

so, anyone see this news before now?

Pretty good article on the ever existing chip on sparty's shoulder and why it makes them one of the most dangerous teams in all of CFB.

I'm fine with the B12 right now.

Since the Big 12 is the best Iowa State will ever do, I'd certainly hope you're okay with it.

This weeks game poster:

Really liked these last year. The 2015 versions have been pretty bad though.

We've got enough random dice rolling, though we could use the luck

We already a had a "lucky" coach in the last guy. I'd rather have a good coach.

Yeah this years posters have not been great

Some rumors floating that something may have happened to Zeke this week, but nothing really solid as of yet

 

[Monroeski]

Looks like Texas' leading RB D'Onta Foreman is having surgery on his pinkie and may miss the Tech game on Thanksgiving.

Also, there are apparently rumors about LB Malik Jefferson having mono and being questionable as well. I guess he's already missed some time in recent games?

Urbz will find a way to sweep it under the rug.

Malik has been battling some stomach virus for a while now. Kind of suspicious that this has gone on for a month. Hope it's not something bad.

Like injury wise, not ncaa/legal issue

Oklahoma St.

If you're going to bring up fucking Kansas State as a quality win, than Notre Dame also has Pitt, Temple, and Navy.

At least give OSU TTU (who beat Arky) as a quality win.

But It's an odd numbered year... I thought that meant the rumors this year were supposed to be for Saban to go to the NFL.

Have you heard all the rumors going around right now? It doesn't look good at all.

Oh, shit. Flood is getting another year then?

 

[Draxal]

He was going to get fired for cause earlier this year, he lawyered up and we brought NCAA investigators and a firm specializing in NCAA compliance and are going to drop the hammer on him,

This was an article about Tom Herman but this line caught my eye.

"When I was the offensive coordinator at Rice in 2007, there was an elite quarterback coming out of Stratford High in Houston. He made it very clear: If Texas didn't offer him a football scholarship, he was going to go to an academically minded school".

Wouldn't this be "good" news?

 

[Piggus]

Go Cal.

Well, bringing in NCAA investigators and a firm that specialized in compliance isn't usually a good thing.

So Brown didn't offer Andrew Luck, either? How does one person fuck up their job so thoroughly? Edit: I guess I could have read the article instead of googling Stratford High quarterbacks...

Well, bringing in NCAA investigators and a firm that specialized in compliance isn't usually a good thing.

I'm focusing on getting rid of Flood. Quit being a "glass half empty" sort of guy.

 

[Balphon]

We almost hit 80 today... Suppose to be hotter tomorrow..

I'm never sure how the lower bowl selections work, but the Holiday is a Big Ten tie in now so it could feasibly feature a good matchup.

Feasibly.

 

[Monroeski]

So Brown didn't offer Andrew Luck, either? How does one person fuck up their job so thoroughly?

Also of note is that Texas didn't take a QB at all in that 2008 class, so it's not like they already had another guy committed over him.

They did pick up a 5-star in the 2009 class, though, that was rated even more highly than Andrew Luck was coming out of high school: Garrett Gilbert.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

I am now very afraid of Purdue and their new unis.

 

[mre]

Why? Who asked for this?

 

[peteykirch]

Well, bringing in NCAA investigators and a firm that specialized in compliance isn't usually a good thing.

It is a good thing if he want Elmer Flood out from being your head coach.

The man ruined everything Greg built in a decade in about 2 1/2 years.

Last year Knitro was trying to go 12-0 and failed miserably. This year Knitro is taking the road to 0-12 and is looking pretty good! Just 2 more losses left to complete the winless season
