Well i surely didn't miss much last night! Didn't bother gettin updates after watchin til halftime. ND got outplayed on every level. That "interfering with catching the punt" call in the first quarter was BS, but not enough BS to have changed the end result. Still don't like the SEC, but the Tide earned that one.
On the plus side.. only one more season of the BCS system, then on to a playoff race!!

It was unbelievable how poorly Notre Dame was tackling!!! It wasn't once or twice, it was throughout the entire game. At the risk of stating the obvious, Alabama literally ran over them.

It will be fun to see if they can make it 4 Championships in 5 years!

Your SEC bias is unwavering, CDS. That game was 2 seasons ago, and just as Auburn is a much different team than at that time, so is UO. But as long as we're on the aged argument train, Auburn also beat Bama that year, in Tuscaloosa no less. So by your logic, Bama sucks too.

K State certainly had their opportunities last night, but couldn't get anything rolling consistently. The Ducks defense was just better prepared for the game. While I'm not a Duck fan, I really enjoyed the look on faces of K State fans in the crowd after the opening kickoff return for a TD. It had this element of "Oh God. Please don't let the whole game be like this" lol.

That officiating crew should be fired for that shit! That ball was a good 3" short of the marker. But kudos to the SC defense (namely Clowney) for not giving up after getting bent over. The hit, and subsequent fumble recovery were nothing short of stellar.

Really looking forward to the Oregon, K State game tonight. I'll be watching part of it from the gym, as I need to get back in my workout routine.  I am totally routing for K State, and it could be a very good matchup, as both teams have had a heap of time to prepare. That said, I think the time off benefits the Ducks a bit more, as it's really hard to train to keep up with the tempo of their offense, if you don't have people who can simulate it for a full 60 minutes.

I really felt bad for NIU after watching their matchup with FSU. That offensive line was so throughly outmatched (read: outsized), and any time a receiver was open down field, the QB couldn't get it anywhere close. Pair that with their coach quitting on em before the season was officially "over", and it just makes for a rough going.

In case any of you missed it (I did :( ), here's the hit by Jadeveon Clowney that 360 mentioned: (gif courtesy usatoday)

Amazing day of football!!
 
The South Carolina-Michigan game was crazy.  The hit Jadeveon Clowney put on Vincent Smith was just absulutely ridiculous.
 
Georgia/Nebraska was a shootout, the Miss St-Northwestern game wasn't that bad and the Rose Bowl turned out to be decent. Not an offensive battle, but still ok.
 
I'd personally like to thank all the Vegas sharps who pounded Wisconsin before the game knocking Stanford down from -6.5 to -4 and allowing me to sneak in with the cover.
 
I'd also like to thank Michigan for preventing an otherwise useless 2 point conversion with 11 seconds left and covering the +5.5.  I cleaned up today!!!

The Huskies were a much more formidable team at home. and Stanford's only losses this season came by a 4-pt loss to UW in Seattle, and a 7-point, low-scoring bout at ND. Given, the Rose Bowl is not TECHNICALLY a home game, but it's a considerably shorter trip for Cardinal fans than for Badgers.
I try not to rule anyone out, as it's college football and anything can happen on any given Sunday. But the odds are gonna be long against Wisc.

I think they have a chance.  I am betting heavily against them, but you could have said the same thing about the Nebraska game and look what happened.  If their offense clicks like that, and they can get a few 3 and outs on Defense, they can score some real points that Stanford may struggle with challenging.  Stanford isn't unbeatable.  Wisconsin is just as likely to get lucky as Washington did.

The Rose bowl is a bore. Wisconsin is good this year. Not great, but good. And a 3rd place (and I'll add "unranked) Big10 team against Stanford is kindof a joke. Wisconsin plays good defense, but Furd's frontline is just beastly. The Cardinal should win that one outright.

Would they have defeated LA Monroe? Probably. And the underdog is seldom rewarded in the BCS, so they should have taken what they were offered.
 
La Tech was going to go to a better bowl, but when NIU jumped into the BCS it screwed everything up.  Oklahoma was moved to a non bcs bowl and then from all the fallout, La Tech missed their chance.  The losses didn't hurt them it was NIU going to a BCS game that caused their problems.

I think this year more than others, both teams have a good chance in the game.  

There are A LOT of teams that shouldn't be in BCS bowls, including Wisconsin, even though they are a good team and Penn State and Ohio State deserved their postseason ban.

I don't know what to make of most of these bowls.  It seems like a really weak lineup overall. 

And I can't believe Louisiana Tech turned down a bowl birth, thinking they were getting into a better one.

I like Rutgers and all but I don't think they'll be able to compete the way they want to in the Big 10.  It's going to be a much rougher schedule.

Lol. thanks for takin that one in stride, BMW. As you know, I'm a Washington State fan, so I'd take an undefeated season too! But I settled for 1 conference win (against our rival).. If there's only gonna be one win, I'm glad it was that game!

There are a number of Rutgers fans in this thread, though none have posted recently. I think the Big 10 is gonna be a real difficult road for Rutgers. They've had a really good last 2 years, but they simply don't have the recruiting base that nearly every other school in the B10 does.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:53:14 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1215255#1215255 College Football 12-13 : Originally posted by TranTheDoctorAnyone... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1215253#1215253 Author: gunda pickle

I'm lovin this! Starting the season unranked, and fighting their way to the top is an awesome story for college football. I watched the game against USC last night, and it was a really good showing. I believe they would have still won that game even if Barkley had been playing. And for all you SEC toters that believe that ND's schedule hasn't earned them the top spot.. consider this.

I am a little disappointed in the lineup for the PAC 12 championship game. Furd took it to the Bruins yesterday in impressive fashion. It's really not all that interesting to watch em do it again at home next week. Mora's had a great season, but that program is just not to THAT caliber, yet.

I'll agree with that. WSU had a REALLY rough year, but was still one fg (rather than going for it on 4th) away from winning that match-up this season, which would've rendered COL winless.

On the other hand, Kansas is pretty terrible too.

Maybe allow those two teams a trip to the toilet bowl this year?

I wouldn't say it got more interesting. I'm with Solo in that it's just trying to grab some extra media attention since USC has failed to live up to their expectations this season. They really have nothing to lose by losing this game, so why not make a guarantee to win it.

I think this backup quarterback is worth getting excited for.  Most college quarterbacks were a backup at some point and USC usually ends up with the best of them.  Definitely looking forward to ND getting challenged by a 5th/6th in the PAC-12 team.

Really hoping for the Oregon State upset of Oregon as well.

While I am definitely in favor of a playoff system, the way the rankings are done should be fixed along with the instituting a playoff. That would at least give a fair shot to anyone and everyone to reach the playoffs, rather than making every effort to pile SEC teams against one outlier.
If there were a playoff system, at least one of the spots could still be up for grabs this weekend. Bama would really have to s#it the bed this weekend to not face UGA in the SEC Title Game. The loser here will ultimately drop out of the top 4, which would leave the first spot open for UO/KSU (assuming they win their matchups this weekend).
And then there's the ND/USC match. It has lost some of its splendor, with USC dropping completely out of the rankings, but that just makes it all the more critical for the Irish to win. Losing to an unranked team would undoubtedly knock them out of any title hopes, and if there's ONE thing USC wants to do now, it's to play dream-wrecker. Even without the playoff system, I actually think I'm gonna have to cheer for ND this Saturday.. never thought I'd see the day!

Even though it doesn't have anything to do with the NC game, I'm really interested in the UCLA/Furd matchup this weekend. If UCLA loses, it would effectively become part 1 of 2 in the Pac12 championship game. (Furd owns the tie-break with Oregon, so regardless of how UO plays in the Civil War, a Stanford win guarantees them a spot in it). Good weekend for CFB :)

They're the only team in the top 5 (top 12 actually, 13th is Stanford), playing a top 25 team this weekend. I am totally going for the Cardinal tonight.. but it's gonna take a lot of work! If not, I'll have to go buy a beavs shirt to cheer for em next week (when im not getting smashed watching the WSU game, of course).

Noticed some typos in your post, so i took the liberty of fixing them. But JDigg is correct that the pollsters want an SEC team in there no matter what. The SEC has won the NC game (some deserved.. some not so much), and I'd argue that the media wouldn't even consider a national champ game this year to be "legit" without an SEC team in it to defend the title. Either way, the SEC occupying spots 4-9 in the BCS rankings is a LOAD.

I'm all for a K-State/ND champ game (This assumes KState and ND remain undefeated, and would hope the Beavs stand tall against the Ducks on Turkey Day weekend).

Haha! Lovin it!

The match between Northwestern and Mich today was a good one.. But NW's QB got injured, and it made OT a real struggle. Had no confidence in their throwing game.. and the running game went NOWHERE.

I don't necessarily cheer for Kansas, but they're on the same boat in football as my beloved cougs are (i.e., winless in conference). THey played HARD against TTech today. I hope they're able to scrape a W out by the end of the season. Iowa State looks to be their best shot. Come back strong, Jayhawks!
Also lovin that Louisville got knocked off today. THere was a guy participating in this thread rooting for Rutgers... Congrats on bein back atop the Big East :)

Looking forward to the OrSt/Stanford game today. I'll give the edge to the Beavers, as they have a solid passing attack and the Card's passing defense has not been a strong point for them this season.
I should make a trip to the store n get some Busch Light so i can have something to forget the throttling that UCLA is gonna hand the COugs today. The Cougs haven't beat UCLA since 2007 (when i was still attending WSU), and we all rushed the field.

You're right :) . I knew i was leaving something out in that post.. but i couldn't put my finger on what it was, and it was already an essay so i figured i'd leave it be lol. UO was also in the 40+ ppg category and Aub's defense gave up about 24.5 ppg that season. So the 19 UO only put up on em is pretty shameful. I reeeeally don't want it to sound like im trying to make a case for the Ducks. Hate em. Was just trying to suggest the scores in a proposed UO/Bama game woudn't likely be as high as this season's numbers would suggest. :)

[/QUOTE]
When UO played Auburn for the NC game in 2010, Auburn was averaging 42.7 PPG against their opponents. in the NC game, they scored only 22. While the names on the jerseys have changed since then, I wouldn't say their defensive presence has.
I think it's an interesting matchup in that they both have to make adjustments to account for the other. The PAC is generally known for high-power offense teams (especially in the top half), whereas the top half of the SEC is predominantly recognized for their prolific defenses (hence why Bama can run up the score on Michigan or Arkansas, but really struggled to get those 21 points against LSU). Oregon wouldn't run up scores on Bama's defense either, so i'd expect the final score if they met to be fairly close to the Aub/UO matchup.

While he was definitely favoring his arm after that hit, he did have some solid downfield throws after that. I'd assume resting over the next week should have him back in prime form. I am really enjoying KState too. But as I've already said, I'm a huge underdog fan, and Kansas State is not a team you routinely hear about in the top 5. That, and them kicking ass keeps Oregon out of the champ game.. So more power to em! Keep it up!

I think the Oregon team of this year is improved over the team of that title game, to the extent that they have added some size to the roster, but they're still a gimmicky, running offense. Mariota is NOT a legitimate throwing threat. He can hit wide open receivers, but you're not gonna see any needles threaded. UO fumbles a lot, but are benefitted by having the speed that generally allows them to recover the ball. They outran all their competition that year, then Auburn showed up and displayed an overwhelming abundance of brute SIZE, and weren't all that slower than UO. Bama essentially has that same mixture this year, and without having to dedicate to guard the pass, UO would be vastly overwhelmed.

FUUUUCK. I wanted to post "in the first three quarters" when i made that post about ND... That was quite a 4th quarter comeback. but they got DAMN lucky multiple times in OT.

Bama will still likely hold the number 1 spot come tomorrow (though I'd argue K State deserves it more). K state will probably still be #2. No way in hell after ND's performance today will they remain in the 3 spot. Oregon's offense was nothing short of incredible today (though USC certainly exposed some holes in their D), and should take #3 come Sunday evening.

My cougs got absolutely DECIMATED by Utah today. 49-6.. FUUUUCK. And it coulda been a complete shutout if not for Tuel's TD pass on the final play. Their O line still can't protect the QB, which is unacceptable for a pass-reliant offense. They're the Arizona Cardinals of the NCAA, only without a defense to keep em in games. :(

Was super excited to see Bama trailing late... but that didn't work out the way I wanted either. Rough day watchin sports for me :(

The only good team Penn St. has beaten this year is Northwestern. They even lost to Ohio!
First I will say there were some bad calls both ways for Nebraska and Michigan State. The pass int. on Kenny Bell can be argued forever (some say Kenny locked his arm under, blah blah...) Doesn't matter, there was a LOT more game to decide the outcome. I think the few bad calls came out about even.
 
I would have to agree that Ohio State is the best in the Big 10, but Penn State is not the 2nd best. According to outcomes of games this season I would say Michigan or Nebraska. Yes, the whole conference is not a powerhouse. These are just my opinions.

Decided to watch the Mizzou/Florida game. Mizzou has had a TON of chances to win this game, but their QB flat out sucks. I've seen him overthrow 3 wide open receivers by 5-6 yards, one of which was picked off by a deep safety. Even with the Tigers only down by 7 now, I don't see any chance for em to take this one. Lame.

My Cougs play a weak Utah team today. They played Stanford REALLY close last week. Hopefully they can build on some of that momentum and be able to grab their first conference win of the season.

Ouch, Rob! Utah put on a steady series of points on ya! Don't feel too bad, though. They'll likely do worse things to the Cougs this Saturday :(.

I'll be cheering for the Trojans when they take on the ducks in SoCal this weekend, namely cuz i don't want the Ducks nearing the 2 spot. ND plays a weak Pitt team, and could easily be overtaken by UO if they win. I really doubt they'd overtake KState, as they play a ranked team as well (though, they get to host the game).

Then again, if Bama has a weak outing against LSU this week, that could throw everything into a funk!

But congrats to Keenan Allen on becoming the all-time receptions leader!  He's the man!

Looking at the top 25 rankings, there are so many teams that have come and gone and some come again back into the top 25.


LOL ouch! Never thought I'd see the day I'd be compared to old Slobberin Lou! I don't think ND are the Gods of football (which any college football follower knows Lou does lol). I have laughed each time ND starts with a preseason ranking in the top 10, a crappy SOS, and they completely fall off the chart with some "unexpected" losses.
That said, they did put together an absolutely grueling schedule this season. I saw their preseason ranking (AP 26, USA today 24), looked at their schedule and thought "Good, atleast they'll be forced to prove themselves". And i don't think anyone is arguing that they haven't. They do have a bit of a dead spot in their schedule until the game at USC. Those games are still lose-able, mind you, but don't provide a chance to bump up in the rankings.

I'll combine these posts, as they invoke very similar arguments.
If all teams do remain undefeated, this year does seem like one of those where a 4-team playoff system would be an ideal scenario. It's especially suspect, as they and ND had similar preseason ratings. Though it already seems the BCS doesn't favor ND as much as sports commentators want to, so I wouldn't worry much about that. K State has played a rather difficult schedule, 3 T-25 teams already with OKST and TEX upcoming, they have every right to be in the argument. And as they play more ranked teams than ND from now until season's end, they should become more heard in the championship argument.

Oregon also has 5 teams in the top 25 on its schedule (or atleast, they were when the games were played). With USC, Stanford and Oregon State upcoming (who were thrown a bit of a shocker in Seattle over the weekend), it should be interesting to see how they perform. Oregon lost to USC in Eugene last year. USC has absolutely shown its deficiencies, but this match effectively is for "Leader of the Pac" bragging rights.

Should be a great next couple of weeks to follow CFB!

I'll get you started.. Arizona's offense has put up 39 points per game this year. That's a LOT of scoring. Their problem has been their defense has allowed over 30 PPG as well. Getting in a shootout-style game with the Cats is just a bad idea. SC should've slowed the game down and just kept Zona's defense on the field. On the plus side, this means the Ducks won't get as much credit if they beat SC next week.

Yeah, Wisconsin is not as strong as the past few years. And them losing to Michigan St yesterday doesn't help them haha.
 
I saw parts of the ND/Okla game (was focused on Neb/Mich, which was a battle back and forth until Denard Robinson got hurt). ND just took off in the 4th quarter! In Oklahoma's final drive attempt, the snap went rolling under Landry Jones' legs into the endzone. They just mentally did not have it together and ended up turning it over on 4th down in ND territory.


My Halloween plans didn't end up working out, so i was able to watch the ND/Okla game. It was a VERY good match, played with a lot of ferocity, but a lot of sportsmanship in the matchup as well. I didn't expect that so much. When ND got the ball back for their "run the clock out" possession after Okla failed on 4th down, I was hoping ND wouldn't just take knees. I knew they'd be running the ball, and Oklahoma still couldn't stop that, which resulted in another Irish touchdown. That should go a LONG way in the updated BCS ratings today.
I'm guessing the following:
1. Bama - They made a statement against Miss St., no reason why they shouldn't keep their #1 rating.
2. KState - They destroyed Texas Tech, and should be #2 when the new rankings are released. (Florida losing to Georgia made my day. Really hate seeing the top 2 spots to the BCS rankings).
3. ND - To me, it wasn't quite as "convincing" of a win as the score suggests, but the BCS will see the score as a dominating win, and it should bump ND from 5 to 3.
4. Oregon - The Ducks shellacked a terrible Colorado team, putting up 56 points in the first half. Chip Kelley pulled all his starters from the game at the half, so the final score to the BCS rankings won't look quite as dominating as it could have been.
5. LSU - Beat TAM yesterday, but not in any spectacular fashion. Should round out the top 5, but still the only team with a loss in this list and out of the National Champ talk for now.

Look who Auburn's one win this year is against. Louisana-Monroe in overtime. Schedule aside it's still impressive to see a team win with a depleted roster and nothing to play for. My point was not to hype up Penn St. It was pointing out that Roof's defensive scheme is not bad. If you're familiar with the story, the people around the Auburn program ran Roof off for being incompetent. He took(was advised to seek employment elsewhere) a job at Central Florida a year after helping AU win the BCS NC. So to make a long story even longer Roof took a ton of flack for a meddling head coach and you see the results. This same head coach, who is a defensive coach, is now calling plays on the offensive side of the ball at which has resulted in the worst Auburn football season since 1952.]]> Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:18:04 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1208624#1208624 College Football 12-13 : The wins may not be against powerhouses,... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1208622#1208622 Author: j_lucky84

That's really not all too much of an intuitive prediction. Alabama hasn't played anyone of significant substance yet, so they haven't been tested. Not being tested allows your team to look a lot stronger than they might be playing someone of similar caliber. Playing three ranked teams in the next 3 weeks will provide some opportunity to show what they have, but only one of those teams is in the top 10 (LSU) and i think even the Tigers might be a bit overrated.

On that note, Oregon hasn't really had a good opponent yet, (and the ranked teams they have played have been in Eugene). USC will definitely be their proving ground game. USC is pretty much out of national championship contention at this point, but they would love to play spoiler of Duck hopes. I would be surprised if UO left their starters in for any longer than a quarter against Colorado. They'll want to be as healthy as possible for the next week's bout.

The Gators have had a number of trial games, and are now in the cake-walk portion of their schedule. They should be 100% when they get to the Florida State match.

KState has had a couple tests (none too crazy difficult), but the big-12 is a slaughterfest this year, and the risks of each of those games nearly outweights the rewards of winning them. Any loss in the coming weeks will pretty much eliminate KState from contention.

And while I don't like ND, if they finish their season undefeated, with their brutal schedule, I would argue that they deserve a national champ bid over any of the above-mentioned teams. And I might even be forced to root for em in that case. SCARY!

The Big 12 has been beating each other a lot. Being a Nebraska fan, I miss the old Big 12. I grew up with that conference and the rivalries were great. It will be interesting to see if KState can keep it going.

Oregon vs USC game should be a good one. I can honestly say I will be rooting for Oregon, just haven't been a big fan of USC over the years.

ND/Oklahoma should be great. Both programs with so much history, just that Oklahoma has had more recent success. Does ND still use real gold when painting their helmets? I was told yes but never sure if that is just a rumor.... you know, with today's economy haha.

Nebraska vs Michigan is a big game for the Legends division of the Big 10. I hope it is a fun game to watch. Both quarterbacks have multiple threats which should keep things interesting.

Bama hasn't had an incredibly difficult schedule to date either (and their one win over a ranked team is overrated, as it's obvious Mich isn't as good as preseason rankings suspected). With that, they SHOULD look good against the opponents they've faced. They do face 3 current top-25 teams in the next 3 weeks, so while no one has argued whether they belong in the top spot, it will be difficult to pass them if they can continue to take care of business.

The Gators visit the Bulldogs this weekend, which should be a good match, but then they host 3 scrub teams. Even assuming wins in all those games leading to the rivalry at FSU, I don't see Florida retaining their #2 ranking until then (also assuming the rest of the teams in this list keep winning).

KState has another pivotal game this weekend against Texas Tech. Assuming they win that one, they should retain their #3 ranking through the weekend. They then host Oklahoma State, then visit TCU. The Big 12 has been beating each other up all year, so any one of those games poses the threat of an upset. Wins in all these games could likely bump KState over the Gators.

The Ducks have a cakewalk game hosting Colorado this Saturday, then will be visiting the Trojans who will definitely be out for blood (UO edged USC 38-35 in Eugene last season). Follow that with visiting a soft Cal team, hosting Stanford, then heading to Corvallis for the Civil War (which is a fight-to-the-death match regardless of rankings, but now that the Beavs are in the 7 spot, those become some serious bragging rights). It's not the roughest schedule on paper of the group, but poses a huge risk to Oregon's bowl situation.

The ND/Oklahoma game this weekend should get huge ratings. Both from fans of the programs, and fans of other programs that want to see their school move up when one of these teams gets bumped off the wagon. My gf loves the shiny homosexual helmets the Irish have been sporting, so I'm sure it'll be on my tv too lol.

Yea man! Northwestern played tough! Pat Fitzgerald has done a decent job with that program since taking over in 2006. His first season went 4-8, improved the next year to 6-6, further improved the next year to 9-3 (lost a bowl game to Mizzou). They've been in bowl games every year since, though they haven't won one. And their record has steadily declined (one win each year) in the past 3 years, but they've matched their win total for last season, so they should be able to get another bowl game this winter.

BYU came very close to beating Notre Dame today.. I have seldom found myself rooting for the Mormon squad, but that was certainly the case this afternoon. ND really has an impressively difficult schedule, and they showed some toughness rallying today. We'll see whether they can keep the momentum going when they visit Norman next Saturday.

Ehhhh.. I really don't like Oregon, but they were anticipated to have a close game with ASU, and EASILY could have run that score up in to triple digits. Leaving your starters in for 4 quarters against a far inferior opponent doesn't prove anything.
From the associated press: "The Gators managed just 29 yards and two first downs in the first half against South Carolina (6-2, 4-2). But they led 21-6 thanks to three turnovers." Yes, the defense was overpowering, but even with a number of short field opportunities, 29 first half yards is hardly what one would call "dominating". Florida had fewer first downs than SC, fewer total yards, and managed only 88 yards on 48 rushes. In addition to that, they were penalized 7 times for 74 yards. I won't argue too much on that last one, as Oregon is the most penalized team in the country, but those are some ugly numbers.

Cmon, people! this should be one of the best non-snowboard related threads out there! 124 FBS teams alone to cheer for provides a lot of opportunity!

My girlfriend's coworker offered a wager (a whopping $5) on the game between Oregon and Arizona State last night. He was gonna put his money on the Sun Devils.. and while I cant stand Nike U., this was some easy money that I couldn't pass up! Unfortunately he came to his senses as he saw my eyes light up when he offered the deal of easy money.. and quickly rescinded his offer. BUMMER.. that game was an absolute ROUT. 43-7 at halftime.. YIKES.

I know it's getting to be that time when the BCS predictions are being made, and everyone's talking about the potential matchup between Bama/UO.. but I'm not so sure this one favors the Ducks. The Ducks DEFINITELY have the decisive speed advantage over everyone they've played this season, but that was also the case in the championship game between them and Auburn 2 seasons ago. Auburn may have been slightly slower than UO, but that was more than compensated for in sheer size; and I really don't see that being much different with Bama this year.

Of course, I don't want to get ahead of myself; the ducks still have games AT USC, hosting Furd, and one AT ORST (haven't seen them play much this year and can't help but feel they're slightly over-ranked). But rankings don't matter so much in those pinnacle rivalry games. Each team gives 111% of what they've got, and any year it's anyone's match.

While it does put "pressure" on high ranked teams to execute/win, it doesn't force those teams, especially if they play in a power conference, to WIN a tough non-conference schedule. They can walk through a couple easy FCS teams, then be healthy and 100% for when they play other initially-high ranked teams. The SEC is a perfect example of this.

How about USC? they were "supposed" to play for a national title this year... They have completely dropped off the radar now.
 
Now, I do understand why they do it... I just wish it wasn't so.

You make some really good points. ESPECIALLY with the ND's opponents. The (20)ND/(10)Mich State game was supposed to be one of the more epic early games of the season, but ND all but wiped the floor with em... Then hosted a then 18th ranked Michigan squad, and eked out a victory. Mich hasn't moved a whole lot since then, but had those rankings not been around for the first 4 weeks, those numbers wouldn't mean as much. I will hand it to ND though; they signed theirselves up for a brutal schedule this season, and have been playing solidly. They fully deserve the rating they have now, but it does beg the question "how much different would these polls look if the first 4 weeks were unranked?

I know half the time those numbers are up there just to grab rankings from markets they might not otherwise get... Cuz at the start of a season, there's not a big target market for games like Clemson at Florida State. Fans will follow the teams they want to follow, whether it be cheering for or against em. Early rankings are just a flashy way to allow the big schools strut their stuff, and leave smaller teams in their wake.

LOL, yah that kinda came out of left field. Even the ACC "powerhouses" get their big dose of humble pie come bowl game time (2-6 in bowl games last year, 4-5 in 2010, 3-4 in '09, 4-6 in '08). That's a combined 13-21.

Speaking of powerhouses, in the same period of time, the SEC has gone 23-14. Oddly enough, since the inception of the Bowl Challenge Cup (in 2002), which awards a trophy each year to the conference with the best bowl-game record, the SEC has not taken home the title. I really have a distaste for the SEC, so this little bit of info was a gem!

Pre-season rankings in college are so completely worthless.  Take a team that was "supposed" to be great, not just good (this year take Texas, maybe LSU), and they automatically lower the expectations and rankings of some other more surprise teams.

UT has been crazy overrated the past 3 years simply because of their name. You can't really blame the pollsters though based on the talent they get every year. It's a shame Mack can recruit so many great athletes and then figure out a way to make them look terrible. Given the talent they bring in it has to point towards poor coaching to not have them competing for a national championship every year. Look what Alabama has done with that type of talent and good coaching.

Take a Neutared Dame this year (I can't stand them btw, just proving my point I guess).  They have come from way down and gone up the hard way.  But if they stumble, wich a lot of teams do, they will fall farther dis-proportionally to those who started out way too high to begin with. 
 
I understand pre-season rankings are a great draw for those people in charge, and it gives them something to do in July and early August... but college teams just change too much each year to make it fair.  But, college football probably isn't about being equal now, is it?

I agree. It's also crazy how much some of these teams change over the course of the season, and some early losses before they figured out the bugs ruins certain bowl chances. Just another reason a playoff system could be a great thing for really giving the right teams the chance.

Kind of funny to see how bad the early season rankings are.  West Virginia snuck up to #5 after beating Texas last week, and Texas only dropped to #15 with the loss.  Then this week both of them got absolutely hammered.  WVA by 35 and Texas by 42.  So as it turns out, that 48-45 shootout that you watched last week was between to very average teams, not national powerhouses.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 05:46:59 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1205885#1205885 College Football 12-13 : Originally posted by Viper713I... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1205787#1205787 Author: j_lucky84

Ain't that the truth.. THey're not even in the top 25 anymore.

The Cougs best running back and star wide receiver were injured early in the game against Cal, which pretty much sealed the deal. WSU ran the ball only 18 times for 36 yards.. It's pretty easy to cover a team when you KNOW they're gonna pass. Rough one to watch.

This thread got dead in a hurry!

I watched the ND/Stanford game today, thoroughly expecting the Cardinal to take it. I was pretty impressed at how well both defenses played (though, the sloppy field conditions made offense pretty difficult to begin with). I don't like ND, and really just hate hearing about em year after year.. but they played a solid game. SOunded like their backup qb has closed a number of games for em.. which sounds odd. but kudos all the same.

In non-top-25 ball, my Cougs play the Cal Bears tonight.. Both have struggled this season, and I'm hoping this will allow WSU to grab its first conference win of the season. The rest of the schedule doesn't get any easier, so they need the confidence boost now more than ever.

No one's gonna be beating the Ducks with field goals; may as well go down fighting.

That was a great game to watch, but it was way too nerve racking for me. I dont know what was said to them at half time but it was like a completely different team that second half, and its great to see that our team can make those needed adjustments. And did you see those uniforms? They were awesome!


Not terribly surprised Nebraska won, but when i saw the 20-3 score midway through the second, I was kinda shocked. Didn't expect em to pull out the win at that point. Musta been one hell of a halftime speech! lol Also, I am totally with you Kush; those uniforms (on both sides, i thought) were quite awesome!

Yeah, i tried to turn it on the tv in our hockey suite last night, but it was shared with another group, whose kid stole the remote and tuned into some freaky ass thing with talking vegetables.
Nevertheless, i walked out into the lobby/bar area a couple times to check in on the game. I was amazed at how close UW was keeping it, then disgusted when i saw the interception that sealed it for the Huskies.
Gonna be one of those years where everyone argues that the Pac is weak cuz they beat each other up. Not really sure what the hell happened in Seattle, cuz UW sure as heck didn't have a defense last year.

Who are you talking about? Because when I see ND I think Notre Dame, and they just played this weekend

Notre Dame's Athletic Director gave U-M's Athletic Director a letter an hour before the game saying ND will play U-M through the 2014 season and that's it, terminating the agreement they had to play each other through 2017 or 2018.  ND thinks their shat doesn't stink, bunch of pompous assholes.
 
They were only going to play through 2016 and then take a break for 2017-2018 anyway.  ND had to make room for some ACC games, I don't think it's because they're being pompous.  Both schools have said they want to continue the game in the future though.
ND sucks for doing it because ND-Michigan is a huge deal for the fans.  There is room in their schedule, but they just want flexibility to do whatever they please.  Clearly they are pompous assholes.  They're too good to join a conference.

I don't particularly care for either of those schools, but regardless of how well either (or both) team(s) are playing any given year, that always seems to be an entertaining matchup. The non-conf schedule, in the respect of availability of number of games to play, is really a bit saddening though. Pretty much get 3 non-conf games, then the rest of your schedule is set. It definitely behooves each of those schools to play each other, and I'm curious as to which team would fill that void.

Notre Dame's Athletic Director gave U-M's Athletic Director a letter an hour before the game saying ND will play U-M through the 2014 season and that's it, terminating the agreement they had to play each other through 2017 or 2018.  ND thinks their shat doesn't stink, bunch of pompous assholes.
 
They were only going to play through 2016 and then take a break for 2017-2018 anyway.  ND had to make room for some ACC games, I don't think it's because they're being pompous.  Both schools have said they want to continue the game in the future though.

Furd plays Udub on Thursday this week.. Really not too sure why the pac-12 games have been played on such an unconventional day of the week. Still hope the Cardinal light the huckin Fuskies up. It'll make me feel a lot better before the Ducks go to Pullman and light up my Cougs.
It's also nice to see the Beavs in the top 25 (in both polls), after those "upsets" (if ya beat two ranked opponents and become ranked higher than them.. it's not really an upset anymore, is it?!) The OSU/Zona matchup this weekend should be a good show. Interested to see how Zona responds to being destroyed by UO (thus vacating a top 25 spot), and of course I wanna see if the Beavs can keep beating solid opponents.

Otherwise, there are a limited number of intriguing matchups over the weekend. Florida/LSU has been good in the past, as LSU struggled against Auburn last week.. though I feel Florida is overrated for what they've done so far, so it may very well be a rout. Nebraska/Wisc would be a lot better if both teams were executing at 100%. And the OhioSt/MichSt matchup really only matters on the national scale to Sparty.

I'm not terribly sure one can be confident in any team's performance against Idaho State. Throw an NFL team into a high school football match, and I'm sure youll see some great blocking too.
I will agree that Wisconsin is having an off year, though. Or atleast a weak start. It doesn't appear the loss to OSU was a fluke, as they beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl this last sunday. But the non-conf opponents Wisconsin had (UNI, OSU, Utah St., UTEP) generally would have been dominated by the Badgers. Instead, their average margin of victory in wins is only 6, and overall, they are only +3.75/game vs all opponents. Too close for comfort!
I agree it's easy to execute against a weak opponent. I guess it was more of "Nebraska is getting to the right spots to block" type of good feeling, compared to confusion of the formation and play they are running. Suppose any team has that in the first games of the season. One can only hope after such an easy win, the confidence level is not too high against a lot better competition.]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2012 06:02:39 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1202001#1202001 College Football 12-13 : I&#039;m hoping Notre dame can... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1201960#1201960 Author: timpiper

No joke, i really expected USC to come out stronger against cal. And while it may be UO's conference champ to take, they still don't have the size to match up in a national title game. They're rose bowl shoe-ins, but the SEC is too big/fast/strong for the ducks to compete with.

Kinda surprised UO surpassed LSU in the polls, but i guess ya have to give props for a shut out like that.

I was parousing around looking for close games that were near their finish just a bit ago...
If any of you missed the C.Mich/Iowa game today, Central Michigan scored with 45 seconds left, but were still trailing 29-31. It was a really windy day in Iowa City, so as they set up for the onside kick, they were debating whether to have a holder for the ball, or to try to get the ref to block the ball. They opted for a holder. They kick the ball as whistles blow, and do not recover the kick. The whistles were due to a delay-of-game penalty, so CMU moves back 5 yards and retries the kick; and it's successful! No ensuing big plays on offense, but a big 15-yard personal foul penalty keeps the drive going. With 6 seconds left, CMU's kicker hits a career long 48-yard field goal to win it 32-31.

Glad i tuned in!

1) Yeah, can't blame a player for wanting to go make millions as a trade-off to possibly being permanently injured for free.
2) Ahhh, good ole Leinart.. where is he now? lol

And am I seeing this right?  BYU scored and went for 2 instead of kicking the extra point and going to OT?  What made the coach think they would convert?  Clearly their offense wasn't having much success.  Idiot.


Mormon arrogance, perhaps? But yeah, totally! They held the BSU offense to NO touchdowns (or scoring, for that matter) the entire game... and that goalline stand was nothing short of impressive. Realistically not enough time left on the clock to do anything even if you do get the ball back, so why not send the game into overtime and give yourselves a chance?!

ND's defense looked really good against MSU but Denard is ND's kryptonite.  In 2010 Denard threw for 244 yards and 1 TD, rushed for 258 yards and 2 TDs.  In 2011 he threw for 338 yards, 4 TDs, 3 Ints and rushed for 108 yards and 1 TD.

Denard is the wildcard in this game.  If ND's defense can contain D-Rob they should win.
They have definitely had their issues with him in the past, but I think ND's defense is better this year, and I think good teams have figured Denard out for the most part.  Alabama had absolutely no problem containing him.

Nice stats! Bama semed to contain him pretty well (11/26 for 200 yards; 1td, 2int).. so if they're in the film room, maybe they'll get some ideas!

Oops! I stand corrected! I follow the pac pretty closely but i must've spaced that tidbit. I truly did expect Furd to fall off the table after Luck et al. entered the draft. Kudos to their coaching staff for keeping 'em in it :). <EDIT Pt.I> The rest of the pac seems to be kinda hit-and-miss (again) this year.


<EDIT Pt.II>... Also, there's a matchup between BYU and Boise St. tonight. Both irrelevant in the national scheme this year, but should be an interesting bout nonetheless. BYU handled my beloved cougs quite well, but last week lost a close one at Utah, so I'm curious how they'll do in this matchup.

Remorsefully, I'll have to agree, Tim. But a weasel-free UCLA is one i can tolerate much more!

As far as other pac-12 news goes... (from Yahoo sports) Just 2 games into the season, Oregon has already lost two players to season-ending knee injuries; guard Carson York and free safety John Boyett, both fifth-year senior leaders.

York hurt his right kneecap during Oregon's 42-25 win over Fresno State last weekend. He announced to reporters that he would undergo surgery on Tuesday and that his season was over.

Boyett revealed to his hometown newspaper earlier this week that he'll need surgery to repair patellar tendons in both knees. The injury will end his career with the Ducks unless Oregon successfully petitions the NCAA for an additional year of eligibility.

Surely makes the Nov. 3 game at USC a little less interesting. It's hard watching two teams play, knowing one can't give it's best effort. But the Ducks should still be able to roll through the rest of their competition until that date, so it's likely good news if you're a Trojan fan.

It really is. When i was attending WSU a few years ago (right when Doba was really grinding his gears to push that team into oblivion), our place kicker was awful. Even the 30-ish yarders that.. hell, even I can make on occasion... would sail wide left on a regular basis. We lost 2 or 3 games that season off missed field goals at the end of the game.

Yeah, he missed his first 3 field goals, then made one (and even the Virgina fans in the crowd cheered for him at that point). He had a PAT blocked, then later missed a FG that would have won the game.
I don't hold the players accountable for anything PSU has faced.. but I am happy when i see em put another notch in the L column.

UCLA played well, that running back 23 is a beast. Sad to see the outcome being a Nebraska fan but when we didn't play good defense (a trait NU is always known for) there isn't much that can be done. Good start to UCLA on getting the program going in the right direction!

How about ULM knocking off #7 Arkansas. Today was a day of upsets for sure. So glad to see Nebraska get beaten by UCLA, can't stand the cornhuskers!

Pretty scary scene at the Tulane game though, their safety collided helmet to helmet with a teammate as they both went to tackle the same guy and he ended up fracturing his neck and collapsing a lung. Real scary situation. "Walker was revived on the field and a tracheotomy was performed. Walker is in the emergency and trauma center at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa." 

Positive vibes sent his way.

Congrats to UCLA for the win. I still am a little skiddish of your group after hiring the Weasel, but that's a huge win :). Also.. Oregon State's win over WIsconsin today is pretty stellar as well!

Less impressive, but I'm gonna talk about it anyway.. is WSU's win at home over EWU today. EWU is a SOLID FCS school, and they fought hard, but I'm glad the Cougs pulled it out. WSU unveiled a $65 mill upgrade to Martin Stadium tonight, in front of the first sell out crowd since 2007. I'm not gonna say WSU fans are bandwagon ones (if they were.. we'd almost never have a following lol), but I'm sure everyone wanted to see the Pirate do work at home. Keep up the good work!

If you qualify the SEC as the only other "big boys" they play, then yes. LSU's non-conf schedule. (Washington, Idaho, Towson,... then later in the season TAMU) is weak. Bama's (Mich St, W.Kent, FAU, Tennessee, TAMU, W.Carolina) isn't much better. Pretty easy to have a winning non-conf schedule playing the scrubs. Also when you're blowing out these opponents, you can sit your starters after the half, so when the tougher opponents do come, you're not riddled with injuries.
While Pete Carroll was at the helm of USC, he DEFINITELY made his mistakes. But while there, USC was the only consistently top-rated schools to have never played a FCS opponent.  I'm not really a fan of USC, but that lil tidbit definitely made me respect that era.

CSU took it, and looked good doing it actually.
 
Can't wait to watch the Utah/Utah State game Friday.  Quite a bit of behind the scenes drama in that one.

The BCS favors the SEC bc its the toughest conference... strength of schedule is tougher for those teams bc they have to play all the big boys.  They've got the size and speed.  Outside of a handful of teams in other conferences across the country.. noone else can hang.  That being said.. both Oregon and USC looked good over the weekendbut that was to be expected.... didn't watch Oklahoma. Put either of those 3 teams up against the powers that be in the SEC and USC & Oklahoma stand a better chance imo.]]> Wed, 05 Sep 2012 10:48:19 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1198043#1198043 College Football 12-13 : The BCS always favors the SEC... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1198039#1198039 Author: j_lucky84

The BCS always favors the SEC (of course, it helps that the SEC has stood tall in the championship games for the last 6 years). Oregon's a good Rose Bowl contender, but that's about it. They're physically too small to be a good matchup elsewhere. USC and Oklahoma are solid though. Really hope Arkansas gives Bama a run for it's money in 2 weeks. Go razorbacks!

That was a beat down from the beginning.  Not only did we look terrible but we lost our best corner for the year as well.  Robinson plays like that in the Big Ten we will be lucky to make a bowl game.

Dunno how anyone actually expected this to be close. the #8 ranking UM had before the game was WAY higher than it should've been. They have a couple make up games to get stuff figured out before the B10 schedule starts. Should be a fun in-conf schedule for most those teams.

My beloved WSU Cougars got throttled by the Cougs of BYU last night. Though a lot of the time it seemed as though they were beating themselves. The first quarter showed glimmers of hope, but our senior QB still cant get it through his head to throw it away and try again the next play. Tried to fit in some stupid passes, got picked off, and the defense is still too young/small to do much in those situations. Looking forward to seeing how next week goes, as this was the first legit game under Leach.]]> Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:02:18 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1197291#1197291 College Football 12-13 : Originally posted by CoMtnRider Originally... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1197175#1197175 Author: CO_champagne

I think Bama is a 13½ point favorite right now.  My feeling is the game will be closer than the spread until the Tide scores a meaningless TD towards the end of the game to win by 17.]]> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 07:42:31 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1196956#1196956 College Football 12-13 : I&#039;m from Alabama.

I will be rooting for Michigan, but I have my doubts on the outcome.
 
Have any of you heard about the helium shortage?! As a Nebraska fan, we normally let go of thousands of red balloons after the first points at home games. With the helium shortage we are only doing this for the first game with limited balloons. And I guess some party stores don't have any to fill balloons right now, crazy!

With a big match-up this early in the season all Michigan has to do is keep it close and the game can only help them. The only way Michigan can hurt themselves is to get blown out. With that being said I think Michigan will really struggle to stop the Alabama run as Michigan is still slightly undersized. ]]> Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:42:02 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1196485#1196485 College Football 12-13 : Originally posted by | | |... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52147&PID=1196467#1196467 Author: ctoma

Sweet, thanks for the support!  Unfortunately I do not have high hopes for this game, I think the #8 ranking is way too high.  U-M is still a year or two away from being a strong team.

Bama sticks it to Michigan real good on Saturday night and never calls them back like the douche bag they are. Interesting matchup on thurs night S. Carolina vs. Vandy. There has been a lot of hype about Vandy in the off season. I'm not sold on Vandy but, they get the oppurtunity to show they finally got big boy football pants.

That is frickin exorbitant! Yet the NCAA gets pissed if a star player somehow happens upon a "free" car or some spending money. Yikes.
Yeah, big time college football is a huge money maker.  Did that whole situation ever get figured out with paying college players?  Or at least giving them money in addition to their scholarships for food and housing and clothing and stuff?  It makes sense.  They work well over 40 hours a week, and they bring in piles of cash for their school.  They should be getting paid.


I would agree that it is pretty much unheard of these days for committed football players to have another job for money. How do you expect them to pay for any little thing they want. I won't say I think football players should be getting paid, but even some free stuff or gift cards should not be such a BIG deal... now free cars, no way. That's too much.

Here's a report showing that in 2009-2010 only 22 college football programs made money.

I suppose I should say most major* programs. I find it extremely hard to fathom that that many teams lose money on D1 football programs

Yeah, big time college football is a huge money maker.  Did that whole situation ever get figured out with paying college players?  Or at least giving them money in addition to their scholarships for food and housing and clothing and stuff?  It makes sense.  They work well over 40 hours a week, and they bring in piles of cash for their school.  They should be getting paid.

Boomer Sooner! We're off to a good start so far. 0-0 


The Big12, which is should be renamed, will be tougher this year with the addition of WVU and TCU. Poor Baylor. They are inevitably falling to the bottom of the conference again. At least when they hit the bottom, they will have Texas to break their fall. Texas can't even get a QB to separate from the other and win the starting spot...

Bama and LSU did it with defense last year, which definitely made for a couple of boring matchups, but they were definitely the two best teams.  It will be interesting to see how USC figures in this year.  The Pac 12 was incredibly weak last year, so we may not even see if USC is any good until Bowl season.

While I agree USC is going to absolutely dominate their competition, one could make an argument that their competition this season isn't all that fierce.
1. Hawaii - They haven't been relevant since Brennan graduated.
2. Syracuse - Basketball school, nuff said.
3. @ Stanford - I don't believe they'll be nearly as potent without Luck behind center. Still will hang in the top 25, but won't be much of a fight here.
4. Cal - They're starting to become a decent program again, but that coach can't seem to get a bit of consistency out of the team. Definitely not a game to overlook, but not a glorifying win for USC either.
5. @ Utah - Not a terrible showing for their first year in the PAC in 2011, but will be dominated.
6. @ UW - High powered offenses? Definitely. But USC has a defense.
7. Colorado - May as well be a FBS school
8. @ Zona - See Colorado.
9. UO - Definitely the most difficult matchup for the Trojans this season. But UO is playing an even weaker non-conf schedule than USC, so neither school will necessarily have "proven" themselves by this point.
10. ASU - Rebuilding, but not USC.
11. @ UCLA - New coach, same crappy football team. This is no longer a rivalry.
12. ND - Notre Dame had a decent 2011 season, but their schedule this year is BRUTAL. If they can escape injury, this might be a good match; but don't count on it.

Then again, they're preseason ranked #3, and the BCS has smiled upon the SEC beating their subpar competition for the past few years, so maybe this is just what the doctor ordered.

They will be punished for their crimes as they deserve. But I am 100% proud of my school and my football team.

So you don't consider statements coming from joe paterno himself in grand jury testimony indisputable? Hmmm..

"In the testimony, Paterno said he "knew inappropriate action was taken by Jerry Sandusky with a youngster" after a meeting with then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary, who allegedly saw Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in a locker room shower the previous night, but did not inform police and waited at least a day to inform his boss, athletic director Tim Curley, because he "didn't want to interfere with their weekends.""

Seems pretty indisputable to me. It's pretty well documented paterno admitted knowing about it and admitted he didn't do what he should have. It wasn't just the high up officials that did nothing, there was systematic fail on every level, from the coaching staff to the athletic director(see:football program) all the way up to the president of penn state

You can dispute the punishments NCAA handed down all you want but there's no disputing the facts. And the facts are the football program(see:joe paterno and the athletic director) covered it up just as much as the school officials. Any reasonable human being would report a suspected child rapist to the police immediately.

Well, I am a college bound student going to Penn State who has cheered for Penn State my entire life lol. I absolutely want to be part of the program and I am proud of it lol. Apparently the other twelve 2013 recruits agree.


Just wait until they go home and talk with friends and family. A few more will change their mind before it's said and done. Who would want to play football for four years and never be able to win a conference championship or get a bowl ring. Also from where I am standing I wouldn't be "proud" of what your football program for what they tried to cover up.

Actually the team already was sent back to their families, or the families came to them if they thought there was some moving to be done. Most of the players however, said they didn't need that and that they knew they were still staying. Yes, they wont be able to win bowl games but they are playing for their own glory and if successful will become legends. They also are staying due to the fact that the education they receive at PSU isnt really comparable to any of the other potential schools they could transfer to.

Well, I am a college bound student going to Penn State who has cheered for Penn State my entire life lol. I absolutely want to be part of the program and I am proud of it lol. Apparently the other twelve 2013 recruits agree.


Just wait until they go home and talk with friends and family. A few more will change their mind before it's said and done. Who would want to play football for four years and never be able to win a conference championship or get a bowl ring.

I'm hoping SOME team can knock the SEC off their high horse this season. I gotta say, USC was pretty frickin dominant last year, and they'll be out for blood now. Watch out, NikeU, I think your reign might be over.
If not, at least the playoff system (like it or not) might bring a glimmer of hope.

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said he had a ''problem'' with recruiting at Penn State, but didn't rule it out.

''I don't know enough about the rules,'' he said as the Big Ten's football media days began. ''If a player reaches out, says, 'I want to leave here, I'm out of here, I'm gone,' and reaches out to someone, the player has a right to choose, especially by the rules, to go where he wants.

The football team is staying together because they are a family, and they get a solid education at Penn State. At this point they are playing for an entire community as well as eachother.

Well to start out with, Emmert is an illogical idiot who consistently contradicts himself. He claims that the punishments were to make sure that the football culture of penn state is no longer as prevalent as it once was yet he issued this statement when he was chancellor at LSU:"Simply put, success in LSU football is essential for the success of Louisiana State University." Kinda odd considering he just slammed Penn State for basically having the same culture he strived to have while at LSU. Let alone the obvious fact that he broke NCAA bylaws saying that the NCAA does not have the authority to punish on matters such as this. 

What exactly do these sanctions even accomplish? They just hurt the universities ability to fund other athletic and academic programs. I'm fine with the fines, they actually effect those who were effected by the demon known as Sandusky. However, I do not understand how you can be logical and believe that by taking away bowl games and scholarships will result in healing of victims or a change in the football culture of Penn State. Plus you add the removal of games from the record book? What in gods name makes that punishment rational? How does that help either side? These punishments effect hundred of innocent kids who did nothing wrong but sign to Penn State, and do nearly nothing to help the actual victims.

I am sick and tired of hearing all the media slander the Penn State name. The university has been labeled as a football school without education filled with students who are stupid, blind and care about nothing but football. So before you accept those labels,maybe you should take a look at the recent accomplishments to society by the university. Starting with the fact that Penn States football team is #1 in the country in Academic rankings and "Thon" is the largest fundraiser for cancer in the country and is run by the students. The man who started the macintosh program, had a computer sciences degree from Penn State. The vaccinations to prevent cervical cancer, developed by Penn States college of medicine along with the heart pump. I could go on and on, you should get my point by now. 

Please, don't comment back saying that all I care about is football and not the victims. The entire Penn State community cares beyond what you can imagine. But when a community as a whole is treated unjustly based on the actions of a few men by a corrupted organization that spews out lies and contradictions and who punishes based on a non legal document created by a man paid 6.5 million, that is when we get upset. Tell me if this happened anywhere else, the fan base would not be upset. 

Oh and by the way, read some of the Freeh report. You'll notice that the media took parts of it, and ran with it. There are a lot of terms such as "it would be reasonable to conclude" not definite and proven facts. 

There, done with my little rant hahaClap

How bout the 2-win 2008 season (with a -31 ppg differential, and snapping their 280 consecutive-games-without-being-shutout streak), 1-win 2009 season (-26.5 ppg differential) or the 2-win 2010 season (-15.75 ppg differential). All inarguably worse than the 4-win 2011 season (-1.9 ppg differential).
I don't see them running Leach off, they spent big money to get him. The Cougs have suffered in ALL of sports for a number of years in that regard, expecting Maybach-level coaching at a Daewoo price. Definitely making it to the Apple cup this year though! :D

I second death penalty.  I have no pity for pedophiles and rapists, especially since he will be enjoying 3 square meals and television in prison on our $.  I can only hope the other inmates run his face into the ground on a daily basis.  You think he should have a second chance? He could have stopped any time after years of this behavior.  The higher-ups were notified multiple times, so I'm sure words were exchanged even though no action was taken.  All those involved deserve whatever they get for attempting to cover it up and looking the other way.  Sanctions against PSU are not a death penalty, look at USC and Ohio State.  The money is of course no big deal, universities have plenty of cash, but the loss of scholorships and 4 years of bowl ineligibility will hurt, if only for a few years.  Like I said, USC is doing just fine after their bowl ineligibility, recruiting limitations, and past wins revoked.  They still finished last year ranked number 6 in the country.

Anyway, the sanctions levied against PSU are basically a death penalty. Especially under a new coach, that program is going to be in the cellar for the next decade or so.

I am in favor of it. I understand it hurts the current players, but not as much as some may make out. The fact is those players didn't decide to play for PSU because they believed the Lions were going to be a perennial title contender. They'll miss a cruddy bowl game, maybe 2. Penn State still has its loyal followers and alumni, who will watch the program through it all. The players can still play to the best of their ability on a national scale, and still have a shot at being drafted. It hurts the immediate future of their football program, but it also allows the school to try to rebuild on a clean name.
SMU's death penalty in '87 decimated that program, and they were nationally irrelevant until very recent years. On the contrary, USC's 4-year bowl ban ended after this past season, and their recruiting hasn't skipped a beat. PSU will not see the death of their football program come of this, but they've got a tough road ahead of em.
The 60-million dollar fines are pretty substantial, and while some will argue it doesn't come out of their pockets, the school will have to make up for those losses somewhere.

I agree 100%. Four teams is a little bit too small, but I'm excited to just see the playoffs introduced. It's at least progress in a flawed system.

I feel the same way. Unfortunately with 4 teams the small schools are still going to get shafted, but it's progress. I hope in a couple of years they'll see how well it's working and expand it to 8 teams, and maybe at some point they'll have the NIT version or something as well.

I assume you're talking about SoCal (though South Carolina has become a pretty strong squad, too), since they're bowl-eligible again this year. Yah, they're gonna be mean. I really expected their recruiting to take a huge hit when they lost bowl eligibility for the length of a college player's career. But they've been fierce. Hopefully they can give the SEC a run for their money (with the exception of Nike U; Eff the Ducks).

I bet those were cheap.....im pretty pumped to see what Nebraska will do this year, im hoping Martinez will actually play football this year instead of what he has been doing, definitely not excited for a playoff system. It's only a matter of time until college football ends up like the NFL, I also think playoffs are going to make it more controversial but I guess time will tell with that one

I'm a U of M fan too and I'm sorry to say that Denard sucks and he's bringing us down.  Sure he can embarass the garbage teams in the open field, but every time they have a good opponent, they shut down his run game and he throws pick after pick.  Also have you watched his deep throws? Embarassing the way he underthrows the recievers, and then everyone acts like its a great play if we get a bunch of yards when really the corner/safety should have had an interception if he was paying attention.

Doesn't really matter too much for us Buckeyes fans this year, regular season is our playoff.  Can't wait to see what urban can do in c-bus

Yup, finally a playoffs. But, only 4 teams. And how they chose those 4 teams is going to be controversial...I was hoping for 8 teams so the non-major conference teams would have a chance. But, with 4 teams, I see 2 SEC teams, then the rest of the major conferences getting the other 2 spots.
