College Football Thread -- What will we do in the offseason?
"Which way did they go, George?"
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

No, Arizona State's 15 minutes of fame has passed.
They're just another Pac 10 team.

Arkansas gave LSU all they could handle. Good job, Hogs.

College kicks ass. In Texas, as I've said, high school football is also big.
Texas A&M is kicking Texas around. BUT, it's a tough conference. What're ya gonna do?

This is officially the weirdest college football season I've ever seen.
The immediate beneficiary of LSU's loss is West Virginia, as they're pretty much assured of a spot in the championship provided they win out against Connecticut & Pittsburgh. Ohio State (which I still think is highly overrated) is also knocking on the door as well, but they would need the Border War winner to lose to Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game (Texas's loss to A&M assures that the Sooners will get into that).
It should be interesting to see whether LSU is dropped below Georgia in the rankings. Provided Georgia beats Tech, they're on an even level in a number of respects. It'll also be interesting to see where all the rumors revolving around Les Miles and the Michigan job go from here.
I'm not usually a Big 12 guy, but now that LSU's out, my loyalties are firmly behind Kansas.

Kansas will be upset by Missouri.

Upset? What are you thinking and/or reading?

Wait, are you denying that it would be an upset if Missouri wins, or are you saying that Missouri isn't going to win?
#4 over an undefeated #2 is an upset in my book. Not a huge one, but any game that goes counter to the consensus expectation is an upset.
As for why it's going to happen: Missouri has been winning by greater margins against a better schedule. They're the better football team. Kansas unimpressively squeaked out wins over A&M and Colorado.

I'm saying Kansas is rated higher. I haven't checked the spread, but it would surprise me to learn they're underdogs, and I would jump on it.
I'm still rooting for Missouri over personal stuff.

Yes, Kansas is rated higher. Therefore, if Missouri won, it would be a (minor) upset.

Wow. Can you imagine a tougher conference to play in than the SEC? Far from the internal carnage that the SEC has had this year being a sign of weakness, it is an incredible sign of strength. When you have teams like Tebow's Florida possibly finishing 3rd in their division, then how could anyone say it is not the strongest conference?
Tebow and McFadden are clearly two of the best Heisman candidates out there.
How long do you think Ohio State would last in the SEC? Kansas? Can anyone honestly say that if those two teams played a full SEC schedule that they would only have one loss between them?
Of course Les Miles is going to Michigan! He only has one team that will consistently be a challenge!
