College Football 12-13

Big story surrounding Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o. Some people just need to get their own lives and stay out of others

The game was a massive flop, I was keen to watch Te'o line up against Bama but he had a terrible game

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!!

Notre Dame could not tackle if their lives depended on it.  Several times they got into the backfield and got a hand on the QB or RB but could not bring him down.  What a lopsided game.

Irish got a bad whistle to start the game and never recovered. Even without the bad calls the Irish couldn't stop the Alabama running game.

I am STOKED I took Bama when the points were up at 9.5.  I'm the man...

That was a very wise decision.

Aggies vs. Sooners tonight..in a matchup of old Big12 opponents. Too bad OU is always bad at the bowl games, it's going to give SEC another win over the Big12. But, how did a middle-of-the pack Big12 team become a powerhouse in the SEC in 1 year? Maybe the Big12 is actually that good...and the SEC is overrated?

i can't believe someone actually tried to compare college teams from 1 year to another...you do know that players graduate and/or leave early for the nfl draft? so, every year is going to be different team...

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.

If you take away Collin Klein's running game he's not a good enough QB to keep the offense moving.  He can hit the underneath throws but once you force him to throw down field you know K-State is in trouble.  

I think the ducks will win it but I'd love to see Klein put on a show and keep it competitive

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.

Stanford loses Andrew Luck and still wins the Rose Bowl. How good is that program right now.

Way to take out LSU, Clemson! Awesome game!

The Granddaddy of them all is lookin pretty decrepit this year... Wisconsin MIGHT put on a show, but we all know they don't really deserve to be there.

Originally posted by Nater43 Honestly, this title game seems a little boring to me. I recognize that both teams are very talented, but I guess I'm just tired of Alabama, and never liked watching Notre Dame play. That being said, I think Bama is going to take the national title over Notre Dame without much struggle. The Rose Bowl game seems more appealing in my eyes.

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.

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

I think they would have, had they not ended the season on that 2-game skid Utah State and San Jose State obviously saw something in the film to help figure the offense out (not a whole lot, but enough to grab the W). 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.

Some of these bowl games like the idaho potato bowl from yesterday are so aweful and pointless. Theyre more dead than a meaningless, midseason, non conference game

Im starting to hear rumors of saban returning to the nfl-possibly the browns-the team he used to coach for under belichik in the 90's
