16 - Harris; 18 - USA Today (coaches); 6 - computer average. BCS 12 for ASU. The top 5 teams in the BCS are all ranked top five by the computers. The number 6 ranked team in the computers is number 12 in the BCS, fuck the Coaches and Harris polls.
So it's Monday and Muschamp still is employed... This is embarrassing.
Florida fans smell bad. Like gasoline and sadness.
Thats what the option does it takes talent out of the game. You dont have to block Dante Fowler now. You option off Dante Fowler. You dont have to account for him anymore in the blocking, Muschamp said.
Thats why the service academies run it, thats why they run it, thats why a lot of these schools run it, because it takes talent out of the equation. A lot of talented guys dont like having somebody at their knees every snap, either. Thats part of why they run it. Talents negated in that situation. It doesnt really matter because you dont have to block a lot of the guys.
Get used to it, Willy boy, if you're going to be coaching against it every year at Georgia:

If the Option takes talent out of the equation, why aren't you running it Will? You've obviously not recruited any offensive talent beside Taylor, and I could've recruited him to come to his dad's alma mater.
Excuses, excuses, excuses, and more excuses. This guy should go coach high school with Kiffin.

You guys remember when Bammer talked about how much he hates Tennessee? Pretty much all of my hate belongs to Auburn.
Their fans had all but disappeared in Mobile for the last two years. Now, in the throes of a successful season, they're everywhere I go. Orange flags. Orange car stickers. Orange on sweatshirts. It's enough to drive a man mad.
This year, little brother has garnered even more of my hate thanks to the return of Gus Malzahn. Malzahn is to blame for Auburn's run in 2010. He inflated their heads to previously unseen levels, and this year, against all odds, he has found a way to take a team from 3-9 to 10-1, meaning those heads are as big as ever right now. He'll win coach of the year, no matter what happens Saturday. Would that not be an absurdity? If Nick Saban were to win three national championships in a row, and people were to decide that the "Coach of the Year" instead resides in Auburn?
I hate Auburn. I hate that they put a damper on my trip to South Carolina. I hate that I had to sit around 80k fans chanting "War Eagle" after Auburn managed the flukiest of flukes in the history of flukey fluke wins against Georgia.
I hate that they have seventeen mascots and chants.
I hate that their fans always talk about how "football isn't that important" to them in years that they suck, and become rabid followers in years they're having success.
I hate that they are the conspiracy theory-ist fan base on the planet.
I hate that they are forever pining for the NCAA to take down Bama to their level, rather than striving to rise to Bama's level.
I hate that they are still whining about dead trees that they only liked because they were a receptacle for rolls of other dead trees.
I think he's a good defensive coach, but he's clearly inexperienced in going against the triple option. It does tend to cause problems for defenses that aren't used to it. He's not wrong, he's just an asshole. Defensive linemen don't like being cut/chop blocked over and over.

Bolded for the reappearance of a single Auburn fan, and sorry, I don't have a crayon font for you to read it in.
I have a strong feeling Muschamp is going to become Georgia's next defensive coordinator.
I have that same feeling.
If that happens, we'd better hire a Nick Saban clone.

Wait. Which program? How long is the series? Is it permanent?All this talk of rivalry week is making me look forward to 2016 when PSU starts playing Pitt again. Maybe it can help bring their program back to life.
that won't get photoshopped.
Bedlam confirmed for an 11 AM kickoff on ABC.
Well that sucks.
This is a good example of why the human voters are important. The polls are punishing you for the fact that you should have lost the game to Wisconsin. The computers are not able to factor an official apology from the PAC-12 into their formulas.
You're right that computers can't factor in blown calls and there was more than one in that game.
Should have lost?
ASU first downs 31 - Wisconsin 15
ASU total yards 448 - Wisconsin 441
ASU turnovers 2 - Wisconsin 1
We outplayed Wisconsin and won.
You can take Grantham as your defensive coordinator. We'll just switch.
Most don't seem to work, especially the clone you want fired. I assume, it's because no one has the lack of personality or will to become the all work no play robot that is Nick Saban. I'd say Muschamp's the closest, but does not have the will to act. It's probably why I'm a little skeptical about Kirby Smart as a HC.
Jimbo's about the only one to work, because he's not really a clone. He was the OC for Saban, so he was not in the shadow of Saban. Now, he's got similar recruiting angles, and likes to poach ex-Saban/Alabama coaches for his staff (somehow, Pruitt hasn't screwed up, but then again, came into a job with a full cupboard and a creampuff schedule), but it's his offense that's been the most impressive part of FSU.
Saban tends to hire some damn good OC's. Jimbo, McElwain, and Nussmeyer have been great (McElwain's gotten Colorado State to 6 wins!) Better than his Michigan State OC's, and of course the Ginger in 2007 (how's he turned out, Texans?)
You, sir, have crossed the line. Eat poop.
Wait. Which program? How long is the series? Is it permanent?
Is there video of this anywhere?
You're welcome.This weekend was the highest-scoring weekend in Pac-12 history.
You're welcome.
I'm just ready for him to leave and you're wanting Muschamp gone so I just figured we could switch. Grantham isn't actually a bad coordinator, but I do think he's bad at that role in college. Needs more time to work with players for his system. He also needs a prototypical nose guard that we haven't had this season until probably this week when Chris Mayes took that on, and Garrison Smith moved back to his natural defensive end position (and got 7 tackles, 2 sacks, etc). Will be curious if Grantham survives the offseason and what that means for our defensive scheme going forward with the players we have.
True. I didn't realize how little defense was played in the Pac-12 this weekend: 16-42, 37-49, 13-63, 38-33, 47-29, and 69-27The state of Oregon contributed heavily as well!

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Sucks about Ash. Didn't Mack get some criticism for supposedly rushing him back?Great! Assuming Texas @ Baylor is not an 11am game, both teams will know whether or not they are playing for a Big12 championship.
edit: yep, we play Baylor @ 2:30
And David Ash is done for the year. Probably career too but thats not confirmed. Dude still isn't allowed to go outside without sunglasses.

I'm not too worried about the OU game if I look at it rationally, but it's Bedlam. We're 1-9 in the last 10 years.
And I appreciate that.Can't help you this time. My magic powers were exhausted ringing the "OSU will beat Baylor" bell for a month.
@finebaum: . @cbrennansports tells us her Heisman ballot would have AJ Mc first, Braxton Miller 2nd and Jordan Lynch 3rd. Manziel & Winston out.
why does it always take so goddamn long to make a new thread? Harumph!
