Anyone see Clemson or Oregon losing any time soon?

Clemson could Clemson at any moment.

Oregon... probably not. Stanford is the only real possible stumbling block, but I'm not really seeing it. Then again they haven't played anybody with a pulse this year so who knows.

Saving for later.

Baker Mayfield hurt this past week, preliminarily hearing it's not all that bad, likely just a knee strain, though nothing for sure yet so it could always turn out worse. Getting excited to see Michael Brewer get some more playing time in coming weeks after getting a couple of series in late against Kansas.

Fun fact - Baylor has only won a single road conference game since beating Texas in Austin in 2010: a 31-30 overtime win at Kansas in 2011. They're playing at Kansas State this weekend.

It was probably the best case for USCw in that they didn't play so they were unable to lose.

This is the week we'll see if Tyler Murphy is the real deal.

Go Gators!

 

[devildog820]

This is the week we'll see if Tyler Murphy is the real deal.

Go Gators!

He's super calm and poised. But that shuffle pass while getting sacked would've been a pick6 against a great defense. So we'll see if it's just the crappy defenses we've been playing.

I'm going to be at the game. Trying to figure out the balance of cajun food to eat while tailgating to avoid getting the bayou rumble.

Very conservative score predictions this week. Only upsets are NW @ Wisconsin (not really, though) and GT over BYU. Should be a good week!

Go Noles!

About time Florida plays a big game. Very curious to see how the Gatas do.

Anyone see Clemson or Oregon losing any time soon?

Oregon - probably not, maybe against Stanford. Clemson - most likely FSU, but every game is a trap game when you're Clemson. Could definitely see loses to Georgia Tech, Maryland, or most certainly South Carolina.

Hardest games to pick this week are Oregon St @ Wazzu, GT @ BYU, and Boise @ Utah State. But the latter two are only hard because I don't know shit about the MWC and I'm just not sure about BYU vs an option team. I picked BYU because they are the home team and I'm not sure about GT playing in Provo (though FSU went there a few years ago and easily wrecked a very good BYU team, so who knows).

 

[bucknuticus]

Apparently USC contacted Tony Dungy. So USC is going to make another terrible hire me thinks if this is the type theyre going after.

 

[Monroeski]

Not sure I can take another game like the Texas one.

I also hope you don't have to suffer through another close game like that this week.

I'm guessing that even if Mayfield is ready to go after hurting his knee we will still be starting Webb or Brewer anyway so IMO you will be facing a first time starter this week. We'll see as the week goes on if any news on that front develops.

[StrikerObi]

I was very impressed with the Noles this past Saturday. I have been saying all week that Maryland was severely overrated (they have not played anybody) but to shut them out entirely and rack up 63 points was still really damn good. By comparison, Louisville beat Temple (an 0-4 team) by 27 points and allowed a TD. Maryland may have been overrated, but they at least managed to beat the four shitty teams they played.

If (big if) FSU can play that well against Clemson, they could very well win in Death Valley for the first time in over a decade. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though. I think in order to win the game needs to turn into a shootout, which could very easily happen given the two teams involved. Both have excellent offences and good but not great defenses.

 

[mre]

My first thought was "why in the hell is Fulton out there on offense?!!!!!" Then I facepalmed.

 

[jjasper]

Man with that gif stopping right were the ball touched the plane it looks like he still has his had on it by the nose of the football (I know he doesn't).

 

[Lonestar]

Some sort of Numerical karma. All the Positive 10 Karma went to AJ, and all of the negative went to Fulton.

I do kind of agree. I've seen similar situations being touchdowns in the past.

Experience is on the side of Clemson with Boyd and that will be the difference in that horrendous stadium. Jameis will throw 3 ints and that will be the difference.

I think we would have a better shot if the pace were slower and it wasn't a shootout, allowing Freeman, JWJ and Karlos to establish some dominance versus putting it all on Winston's back.

That's going to be a good game. I'd probably pick Clemson by 4-7 at this point.

 

[jjasper]

I do kind of agree. I've seen similar situations being touchdowns in the past.

It is what it is. I just hate the rule. If the ball goes out at the 1 inch line it is the offenses ball still if it goes into the endzone it is a touchback. I get why it is a rule. You want to prevent throwing the ball into the endzone but it would make more sense to put the ball back where it was lost if no one recovers it kind of like the rules preventing a fumble for a first down.

 

[StoOgE]

I do kind of agree. I've seen similar situations being touchdowns in the past.

They lost that game thanks to the stupidest most non-sensical rule in football.

Why the hell is that a touchback?

Give them the ball on the 2 yard line with a loss of down (or 1st and goal from the 2 if the previous play otherwise resulted in a first down). Because rewarding the defense for allowing a guy into the endzone without actually recovering the turnover is the stupidest thing in the universe.

If I had the power to change any rule in college football it's this one.

That's the thing. They already have perfectly functional rules dealing with advancing the ball via a fumble that make sense (return to spot of fumble if no one recovers, the only offensive player who can advance the fumbled ball is the runner who fumbled it).

Applying the same logic would just pull the ball back out of the endzone with a loss of down and no possession change.

Not to mention it was ruled a fumble and fumbled forward which isnt allowed. Ball should have been returned to the 2 yard line since no one recovered, same as if it went out of bounds.

Hard to complain when Alabama used this rule to eek out a victory over Tennessee back in 2005.

I think Alabama (and Mark Ingram) did this against Auburn in 2010 (the fumble that bounced STRAIGHT down the sideline for 20 yards).

I've seen someone mention, move the ball back to the 20, but give it to the offense, a sort of "self touch"back :lol

The rule probably has helped Texas a few times, but it's a stupid way to reward a defense for allowing the offense to get so close to the end zone.

I was really enjoying the Tenn/UGA game and then instead of an exciting overtime game it ended with a giant bucket of ice water dumped on everyones collective heads.

 

[Lonestar]

Went back and found the play in 2005:
In horrible quality:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBGbnUAqfqc (edit: but, at least the fumble was actually caused by the defense, and not a stretch to the endzone and bobbled the ball away)

Can actually see what's going on here @ 2:20

 

[StoOgE]

For me it would be eliminating cut blocks.

I also don't really like pick plays being legal if the ball if caught behind the line of scrimmage..

but nothing grinds my gears like the stupid end-zone fumble touchback rule. Not only do I think it rewards the defense for poor play it doesn't even make logical sense to me.

 

[Quake1028]

Trying to remain calm, but feeling good about the season so far. Hoping for no look aheads against UNC or Wake and head into Doak 7-0. Would be the biggest game for the program in 10 years.

Yeah that is where my hate of the rule originates. But after the game I was more mad about Chavis's "defense" that occurred immediately after than the actual fumble.

 

[StrikerObi]

I'd make the pass interference rule match the NFL. The current rule encourages interference on any pass over 15 yards, especially if it's a long bomb to the endzone. Why let him catch it and score when you can just interfere with it and give them 15 yards instead? I could see keeping the current 15 yard rule for passes interfered without outside of the endzone, but inside the endzone that should give the passing team a TD.

 

[andycapps]

Fuck Georgia Tech.

Yup, other schools do it every game, but Georgia Tech does that every time and gets away with a lot of chop blocks because the difference between cut blocks and chop blocks is hard to officiate. I'd rather they just get rid of them for everyone.

That's a good one too. They should make this change as well. So many times I've seen teams get screwed when the DB gets beaten and ends up tackling the guy before the ball gets there just because he knows he's beaten.

 

[Lonestar]

I've been wanting to get rid of cut/chop blocks ever since Arkansas blew out Dont'a Hightower's knee his Sophomore year. Still don't think he ever gained back his top speed since then.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

FSU at Clemson is going to be intense next week! I'll probably have to find a way to camp out for tickets probably.
