It's the College Football thread!

They're nuts. They're misreading Notre Dame's special rule just like 99% of the rest of the world does. Either that, or they're assuming that Notre Dame will be selected over a team that's higher ranked because of the name value, but that's a load of bull****.

It's going to take MANY miracles for the Irish to get into a BCS bowl now, and that's thanks to the computers giving them the shaft.

Ouch... poor UConn. West Virginia took them behind the woodshed.

Shouldn't that be spelled "Yukon?"

It's a pun!

Are these rules public? If so, is there a version online?

If you like scoring and botched special teams play, this Louisville-Pitt game might be fun. 25 seconds in and 14 points scored - not a single snap taken yet.

25 seconds into the game and they are kicking off for the third time.

Yes. I'm too lazy to do it now, but I've found them with google in the past.

Hey, what about predictions?

Miami by 9. ND by 17. Penn State by 4.

[Zkribbler]

UCLA comes from behind to win in the last half of the 4th quarter or maybe overtime. ...I mean, they've done it four games in a row now.

VT by 17.

ND by 21.

Penn State by 3.

I'm going away with the LL for the weekend. See you knuckleheads later.

[DanS]

VT by 17? This will be a good test of our respective views of VT.

Mind you, as an ND fan, I would be happy to see VT roll right over Miami.

[reismark]

I'm with Guynemer as far as Virginia Tech/Miami goes. The Hurricanes are gonna get exposed as frauds.

Notre Dame will roll.

Penn State/Wisconsin will play out like Penn State/Ohio State did - the Nittany Lions take a slim lead and use defense to sustain it.

Other games I've got my eye on: Cal/Oregon will go to whichever offense has the ball last. Florida might get caught in a letdown against Vanderbilt. And Colorado will kiss its flirtation with the Top 25 goodbye after Missouri beats them.

Damn, Iowa imploded.
