NCAA CFB - Week 10 Random Thoughts

[ralaw]

If all 4 undefeated teams at the top win out I think ND is left on the outside looking in of the NCG

I thought ND was playing the toughest schedule in the country? Doesn't that account for something?

Prior to the season it was. And while the schedule is still tough, it's not as tough as people thought(Sagarin has it as the 10th toughest schedule in the nation at the moment). ND for the next 3 weeks plays it's weakest set of games(Pitt, BC, Wake) then goes to USC, who by the time they get to them on Thanksgiving weekend could have 3 losses if USC drops their game to Oregon this weekend. If ND beats USC then tha's 4 losses for what most consdiered would be the second toughest game on the schedule. Plus, ND doesn't play the last weekend of the season so they don't have a chance to squeeze in another game vs a ranked team in a CCG.

If Bama wins out no way they drop from #1. Oregon is just getting to it's toughest stretch of games(I think the 3 of the next 4 are against ranked opponents + the Pac 12 CCG) . K-State still has Okie St and Texas on the schedule as well. I just think over the next 4 weeks ND will get weaker in the CPU's where they rank really strong and they don't have any games to really impress voters to jump teams ahead of them in the human polls.

In summation.

Geaux Tigers.

Fight On.

Yeah we really need Oregon to lose

I really want to play an SEC team if we make the title game. Would suck to shit on an overratted K State team if we're the only undefeateds.

:cheers:, Here is to Alabama beating LSU, then USC beating Oregon, and Pittsburgh beating ND, and then UGA beating Alabama in the SECCG...haha yeah right. But I do have a bet with my fiancee that if UGA goes to the NC, we HAVE to go to Miami...

Braxton obviously isn't very polished as a passer, struggles on the zone read, and yet he just finds ways to stun me week in and week out with how impressive he is.

Kid is just a baller. I have serious questions as to whether he can eventually become a consistent passer, but really I just can't say enough good things (or cliches rather) about how he just gets it done.

So how far is Bama going to drop when LSU beats them?

If its anything like last year...to #2.

In case any of you were wondering about Idaho's football program. Fox News has your updates on the main page. Starting QB Dominique Blackman and some linebacker got dismissed from the team for violating team rules

Can someone explain to me how Texas is still ranked in the BCS? One, they are terrible. Two, they almost lost to Kansas.

SEC is hard to figure. Georgia gives up 51 to Tennessee, yet Florida can't do a thing against the Bulldog defense. The game was pretty ridiculous...I think at one point Murray had 4 completions and 3 INTs, while the Florida QB had 1 completion and 2 INTs. I was surprised that Florida lost at home. Tennessee could have easily beaten South Carolina but they turned the ball over at the end. I guess it looks like Bama vs. UGA in the SEC title game, but Mark Richt usually has a letdown game at some point.

Oregon might be hurt by the PAC12's parity. USC could have 4 losses when all is said and done. Oregon State lost once, and could lose again this week to ASU. No one really stands out as a major win for Oregon.

I don't know why Oklahoma was such a big favorite against ND. They aren't very good, and the only physical team they played all year (KSU) stomped them.

If you don't have a dog in the fight, how can you not be pulling for Bill Snyder to win the national champioship?

K-State beat them by 5 and was out gained by OU.

I actually have about 11 of them at a time...

UGA already had our letdown in the South Carolina game... And our defense could have been playing that way the whole season. Some players didn't seem like they wanted to be out there. And the game was a neutral site. We were actually the home team this year...

But 213 yards rushing by KSU

Fair enough, just wasn't sure what you meant by "stomped" them. OU was actually ahead in the second half at one point IIRC.
