LSU already has 2 losses this year. For all intents and purposes, they are out of the playoff hunt. But there's always hope for next year. They should have sucked it up and gone to Gainesville on the 11/19 instead of agreeing to two years in a row of away games. Next year's schedule for LSU is absolutely brutal, and now they're only going to have 3 home SEC games there. And, I promise you, LSU fans will be bitching about that all fucking year.

My anti ttk hit take of the week: Notre Dame wins and has its best defensive performance of the season this weekend.
Not a lot of great games this week, but figured the thread would still be more active than just over 100 posts on a Friday.

Your take is that ND will do well on defense against a one-dimensional terrible offense whose best player isn't playing? You're really going out on a limb here.

OSU/Northwestern has moved from a weird 530pm kick to a 330pm kick.
Rumor is its being move to accommodate a potential Cubs world series where game 4 is scheduled for that Saturday night.

Yeah, there's only 2 "must see" games in Bama-Tennessee and OSU-Sconsin
Thread also didn't go up until Wednesday. I'm going to enjoy this bye week, catch up on some stuff, and just not worry about any emotional heartbreak from any game I happen to see tomorrow.
I'm sure there'll be a few good ones, just like week two. We just don't know which those are yet.
What game week 2 was good?

GAF is running slower than Christian McAffery and the Stanford offense.
BTW Stanford is ranked #126/128 in total offense. And their RB is supposed to be a Heisman Candidate?

They're 65th in offensive S+P:
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa
Which would put them as second worst in the conference:
Oregon 6
California 10
UW 16
Wazzu 17
Colorado 33
USC 34
ASU 35
Arizona 38
UCLA 40
Utah 63
Stanford 65
Oregon State 89
Oregon as the best offense doesn't pass the smell test though.

Can't blame the refs on horrible play-calling by Duke
No, but I can blame them for taking the ball away from Duke on Louisville's twenty yard line and directly giving them a TD on a missed blatant hold.
Zac Roper is a shitty fucking offensive coordinator and Cutcliffe is way too stubborn for his own good, but Louisville doesn't need help beating fucking Duke.

Holds haven't been called all year in CFB. It's one of the main reasons why more points are being scored this year. Doesn't make it right, but if you go back and watch almost any scoring play in any game this year there's uncalled holding.
I'm fine with not calling ticky tack shit, but he literally wrapped his arms around him. That should never go uncalled.

Oh Duke. You nearly had a chance.
I'm not mad at all. Borders took a shot at the block and paid the price. He gets the block and maybe something positive happens.
I was expecting a 63-7 nightmare and I know Louisville didn't take Duke seriously, but they played to win and had a shot. Seeing as how they are going into the bye week, I hope they can maybe get another win or two this season. The offensive play calling has been bad all season and I wish Cutcliffe would just man up and hire someone who can actually call a modern offensive game.

There was literally no reason to go for the block. He hasn't made one over 41 in his entire career and he missed one earlier. The likelihood of a stupid penalty was much greater than a blocked kick.
He makes the kick, big fucking deal, we need a TD to win anyways. He misses it, and we get the ball at the 35 yard line with three timeouts and two minutes left. There was ZERO reason to go for the block.
We're way past the point of moral victories. This season has fucking sucked and we had a surprisingly good chance at possibly the biggest upset in school history and we didn't even really get that opportunity because one of our best players did the stupidest fucking thing possible. I'd rather get blown out 63-7 than lose that way.

Go Cougs!
This team has been fragile and not looked great for most of the season, and Cutcliffe has still not found an offense that suits DJ and not Sirk. Our receivers are not great, the oline has struggled to block for both the run and the pass and the defense usually gets lit up by athletic players and dynamic offenses. Losing 63-7 may have been less frustrating to you and most fans, but instead Duke had a legit shot to beat a top 10 team on national TV. In terms of recruiting and keeping some of the better recruits thy currently have sgned, the 24-14 loss with legit shot to win late in the 4th was a better showing, stupid block attempt and all.
Its been a bad season but there's still a slight chance for a better second half.
How has WVU had 2 bye weeks? Did they have a game affected by the hurricane?
I can't tell anymore whether people like this are fucking with us or truly believe what they're babbling about.
