Trent Truck lives on forever

 

[Silkworm]

Go Florida State Seminoles.

No help for notes dame today

 

[Auteezy]

Mora has to go.

They will let Mora finish out Rosens development so 2 more years. After that it's up to SC to give him the Neuheisel treatment.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

I'll switch between the Oklahoma and Florida games depending on which is less of a blowout.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Go Alligators

 

[truly101]

Don't care what he did in the pros, he was a hell of a back for us.

Your heisman winner is doing pretty well for a shit tier Saints team

Looks like 2 to 5 teams will get 5-7 bowl bids. What happens next week will really only affect Minnesota's and San Jose St.'s chances. Based off APR, here are the scenarios for next week (only the three games with 5-6 teams next week will effect this):

5-7 bid scenarios

• Nebraska: Needs no teams to lose. 5-7 bid.
• Missouri: Needs no teams to lose. 5-7 bid.
• Kansas St.: Needs no team to lose. 5-7 bid only if they lose to WVU, otherwise 6-6 berth.
• Minnesota and San Jose St.: Needs all thee 5-6 teams to lose next week for guaranteed 5-7 bids to both. Toss-up (bowl's choice/tie-in deals/luck-of-the-draw) for a single bid between them if Georgia St. or S. Alabama win. If only K-State loses, neither goes bowling.

You can check my math here:

Key

• Team 2013-14 APR in (Parenthesis); teams sorted by APR
• 0% chance/APR too low in struck-through

Claimed spots today:

1. Virginia Tech -- 23-20 win at Virginia
2. Indiana -- 54-36 win at Purdue

Spots claimed: 75/80

(5-6), one game to go:

1. Kansas St. (976) -- Week 14: W. Virginia
2. South Alabama (943) -- Week 14: Appalachian St.
3. Georgia St. (940) – Week 14: Georgia Southern

(5-7) bid contenders, regular season over:

1. Nebraska (985)
2. Missouri (976)
3. Minnesota (975)
4. San Jose St. (975)
5. Illinois (973)
6. Rice (973)
7. UTEP (954)
8. Old Dominion (951)
9. East Carolina (950)
10. Buffalo (948)
11. Kentucky (945)
12. Florida International (933)

(4-7), but one game left:

1. Texas (958) -- Week 14: at Baylor
2. Louisiana-Lafayette (953) -- Week 14: Troy

Finally. He had a rough couple years there to start with, but they decided they should maybe actually feed him some carries.

Really looking forward to the meltdown this week. It should be fully of whiny ass Auburn fans bitching about how "classless" we were by scoring that last touch down.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

I'd want to argue for less bowl games, but then id be arguing for less football.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Why with 4 losses is UCLA ranked in any poll?

40+ carries ... Must be nice lol

Yeah not too bad. Still wish Ingram was more productive but he's coming on. I wish the Saints had a running back like Deuce McAllister. Maybe it will happen again one day.... :-\ If Ingram ever becomes a 1000 yrd rusher, I'll be thrilled.

It’s official: there will be at least two 5-7 bowl teams this year! And perhaps as many as five! Plan accordingly

terrible

 

[truly101]

Wait...so its Dak Prescott and not Zack? So he's named after the jabroni killed in Empire? Or a canned ham?

I wish Rob Ryan would find his shit packed in a box real soon. That would solve a lot of issues with the Saints

His full name is Dakota.

Hopefully he's gone by the end of the year. He can't possibly hang around another season, can he? There's got to be some good D coordinators the Saints could throw some money at... I hope.

Is the selection of 5-7 teams based solely on APR rank, or do league tie ins still trump?

Rob Ryan got fired almost two weeks ago

Great work! Not only are mediocre 6-6 teams getting bowls, but now it's 5-7 teams!

 

[eBay Huckster]

I'm an MSU grad, and haven't been that impressed with them all year, I expected much, but I do think injuries really hurt them, especially earlier in the season. They could have 4 or 5 losses this year. But then again, they are one play from being unbeaten. I think last year's team was much better. I expected much from tOSU, and they have been perplexing all year too.

i think i saw it reported somewhere that tim beck had playcalling duties on offense until this week (and warinner was almost completely shut out until this week), which would explain absolutely everything

 

[mre]

Saban just said that our offensive line doesn't give up a lot of negative plays...

Name G TFL TFL Yards TFL/G
94 Alabama 11 76.0 282 6.91

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Great work! Not only are mediocre 6-6 teams getting bowls, but now it's 5-7 teams!

I wonder how many of those teams also have FCS wins as part of the 5 overall.

Is he blaming Lane's play calling instead?

Dalvin Cook 1493 yards on 27 carries.

Order of APR, by rule, I think, thus my strike-through of names and sorting by APR.

Best of all, Ole Miss doesn't mean shit today. Enjoy the state of Mississippi next weekend, fellas.

No, best of all, we don't have to see the highlight of that tipped ball TD after tonight, maybe tomorrow.

 

[FelixOrion]

Some, I think, but I don't know about the top 5 5-7 teams. 6-6 teams with one or two FCS wins get first preference before 5-7 teams, but none of those exist this season to my knowledge. That said, I haven't dug that deep into the schedules of the teams remaining to make that ruling.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Florida/Alabama next week just like old times. Tebow aint walking through that door. Alabama by 50

 

[Lonestar]

No, best of all, we don't have to see the highlight of that tipped ball TD after tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Was a count taken of how many Kick 6 mentions/appearances happened tonight? Think I got up to 4.

Shame that a fluky thing like that play was what got them over 200 yards of offense today. What was that safety thinking of, diving at the ground 7 yards behind the WR?

 

[squicken]

Really? One minute in and a timeout?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Well you can have a FCS win as one of the 6. If there are no longer any 6 win teams left, I'd think the pool could easily include 5-7 teams with a FCS team. But I don't really know the full process.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Stanford wins today, I think the winner of OU/Okie State gets in the playoffs, even if its Okie State

 

[FelixOrion]

Great work! Not only are mediocre 6-6 teams getting bowls, but now it's 5-7 teams!

There were plenty of chances today to keep it at 6-6 teams only ;P

 

[Dsyndrome]

Don't understand the timeout.

 

[Velcro Fly]

i wouldn't put it past the committee to just instinctively put ohio st. #4 though

 

[Kusagari]

I had no idea Robinson was suspended.

So our shit offense is going to look even worse.

 

[Yaboosh]

Good start. Yay 3 and out.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I had no idea Robinson was suspended.

So our shit offense is going to look even worse.

He made a bad choice

 

[AntoneM]

While Stanford has no band and no mascot and therefore barely qualifies as a college football team, I hope they crush the Domers.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Treon Harris might as well be Jacoby Brissett or Jeff Driskel.
