Stop 'em on the conversion, Ducks.

 

[NervousXtian]

OPI on that one too... this some BS.

 

[timetokill]

Make up call for the non PI call earlier

 

[mre]

Holy shit, Stanford.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Great game.

 

[Lonestar]

wha whaaaaaa

 

[Chris R]

Good to see the one time there was PI that drive it didn't get called lol. Balance it out.

 

[inm8num2]

There ya go.

Now recover the onside!

 

[NervousXtian]

[Balphon]

They still have to kick off, FOX announcer folks.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Hogan had a guy wide open on the right and he never looked his way.

 

[Baroquemantic]

OPI on that one too... this some BS.

That's what I thought too.

Edit: Welp. Congrats, Ducks

 

[timetokill]

karma

for what?

 

[NervousXtian]

for what?

1 bad call and 1 non-call.

 

[Piggus]

Celebratory drinkin' time!

 

[Balphon]

Yes.

Fuck Stanford.

And don't you dare give Don Pellum credit for this.

 

[El_Chino]

for what?

Shitty calls. No PAC 12 in the CFB.

 

[Lonestar]

So pretty much the PAC is out, outside shot of Utah.

 

[JHall]

That's a big boy on Baylor.

 

[Balphon]

Shitty calls. No PAC 12 in the CFB.

If our best offering was a team that lost to Northwestern it's better that way.

 

[timetokill]

1 bad call and 1 non-call.

not sure how that is Stanford's fault, and Oregon got away with a blatant PI earlier that robbed Stanford of a TD.

 

[Lonestar]

Peisman alert in Baylor, 400lb TE touchdown

 

[theprodigy]

whoa, Utah is also down 10?

Pac 12 could be completely gone after this week

oh and two SEC teams in the playoff is also dead

 

[chicko1983]

so no pac-12 in CFP.

haha, not that unhappy about that given the amount they have shafted me this year in betting.

Fuck you Stanford, when USC doesn't lose me money, you do!

 

[massivekettle]

So pretty much the PAC is out, outside shot of Utah.

Utah's getting pummeled 17-7 by shitty Zona.

No PAC-12 this year.

 

[Lonestar]

Was about to say Florida, but then remembered someone's got to lose in Atlanta.

[chicko1983]

Florida (Win the SEC and theyre in)
Iowa (undefeated Big-10 champ)
Notre Dame (well just because)
Oklahoma St (if UNC defeat Clemson in ACC final and OkST win out).

Not sure if I can get excited about that.

 

[RoKKeR]

Daaaaaaaamn

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Stanford's loss also probably ends Christian McCaffrey's shot at the Heisman. This is the worst Heisman race in a long time.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damn I missed that hit by Baylor DB. Did he get flagged?

 

[massivekettle]

Was about to say Florida, but then remembered someone's got to lose in Atlanta.

Who knows, there is still so much football to be played, including conference championships, and to be honest, aside from Bama, I don't see anyone being that impressive and/or a lock for the playoffs.

Florida/Alabama - agreed (no way the SEC champ is out)
Iowa - no way, this will either be Michigan State or Ohio State. Iowa is the shittiest of the undefeated teams.
Notre Dame - quite possibly, but they have to win out; they don't control their destiny, IMO. A division champion could overtake them
Ok St / Clemson - agreed

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Memphis-Houston was an outstanding game

Houston still undefeated. The AAC has been a thrilling conference this year.

Definitely some good games this year. It's like the league grew up a little. We'll see if it continues, though. Memphis, Houston, and Temple all might be looking for new coaches by bowl season.

But hell, USF is going bowling. UCF will be back. Navy will be solid. Looking up a bit if we're all going to be here longer term.

 

[Balphon]

This was a thing?

It was looking like the West runner up would have a shot for awhile there.

Still feasible, but much less likely.

 

[chicko1983]

I see ND as more of a lock than Bama because they have one less game (no championship game) and the Iron bowl is a 50-50 game too.

It's been a rough day for ND's resume. Temple will fall out of Top 25, Stanford out of top 10.

At least Navy won!

 

[GoldenEye 007]

At least Navy won!

Who would ever have guessed that by the middle of November, Navy would likely be in the top 20 of the playoff rankings?

Yeah, the poaching of coaches from the AAC is gonna suck but its part of the game. It'd be weird for Hermann to leave after one season at Houston. Rhule and Fuente are fair game.

The bottom of the conference needs to get better but it will- I can't imagine UCF will be this bad again and SMU will only get better. Tulsa is having a much better year with another rising star in coaching (Montgomery). One day UConn will field a competent offense I'm sure.

Overall, the season has been huge for the AAC- the gap between the AAC and the rest of the Group of 5 conferences is massive. You can make a case for Temple/Navy/Memphis/Houston or even USF to take the AAC crown this year.

I pretty much like every team in the AAC comp. Its like a conference made up of everyone's second team.

Id like to see Navy become good. Love my option teams.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Yes.

Fuck Stanford.

And don't you dare give Don Pellum credit for this.

Don Pellum needs an extension. Look at that big win he led them to today.

Shitty calls. No PAC 12 in the CFB.

Good.

 

[massivekettle]

I see ND as more of a lock than Bama because they have one less game (no championship game) and the Iron bowl is a 50-50 game too.

Stanford will be playing ND hard and the odds of ND winning against Stanford are much lower than Bama against a crap Auburn team.

ND not playing a championship game will go against them (obviously, Bama would need to win their championship game).

 

[ryseing]

Speaking of Oregon, Phil Knight gets headset and coaching box access.

Because that's what $300 million gets you.

Florida (Win the SEC and theyre in)
Iowa (undefeated Big-10 champ)
Notre Dame (well just because)
Oklahoma St (if UNC defeat Clemson in ACC final and OkST win out).

Not sure if I can get excited about that.

Iowa isn't winning the B1G championship. Quote me.

B1G just needs to hope that OSU wins out.

 

[El_Chino]

At least Navy won!

I hate this kind of logic. By that sense Bama's win over LSU means nothing and Florida beating Ole Miss/loss to LSU meant nothing.

 

[HeySeuss]

You're high. TCU not having a chance to play in a title game was essentially what kept them out of the playoffs last year. One less game could hurt them.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

How did OU lose to Texas?

I hate this kind of logic. By that sense Bama's win over LSU means nothing and Florida beating Ole Miss/loss to LSU meant nothing.

Well the reverse of this is typical SEC echo chambering, so of course you hate it.

 

[Balphon]

Nooooooooo.

Damned pyrrhic victories.

stranger things have happened this season...

Those four teams I wrote down was more like what could plausibly happen given there are only two matches left and championship games.

I personally think this is more likely:

Ohio St (wins B1G)
Bama (wins SEC)
ND
Clemson (wins ACC)

Pac-12 and Big-12 miss out.

Texas played to their actual talent level.

It goes for all games, I used that reference because they were the first off the top of my head.

Iowa can lose out.
