College Football 2010: So it begins

[reismark]

All that was missing from that run was the Heisman pose.

[Solomwi]

I'm still confident that Auburn's going to prevail, but man, was that no-call on the LSU touchdown before the half a load of crap.

No kidding. I've never heard of the half-second "grace period" before, and know I've seen delay called without that half-second many, many times. Oh, and Cam Newton is unreal.

I am contractually forbidden to comment on the Iowa State-Texas game.


Good on Sparty for not folding.

Go ahead. I likely agree with you.

[Solomwi]

528 yards of total offense, 442 on the ground, 225 of those non-Cam Newton. 243 total yards given up. Even turnover battle. Only 16 net penalty yards (admittedly a poor metric because of the situational differences between penalty yards). Seven point win.

I'll take it any way I can get it, especially with a potential Hat Magic moment snuffed out on that fourth down. As much as I hate LSU, can't argue with taking a knee on first down at their three to end the game.

[Donegeal]

Last week the Badgers took down #1. This week they took down #13.

ON WISCONSIN!!!

[Guynemer]

Wisky. All you guys have to do now is avoid your traditional chokejob in Ann Arbor (I doubt you'll have any trouble), and you're looking like 11-1 with a possible top five ranking at the end of the season.

Also hilarious:

A week after Michigan-defense level ineptitude, the Cornhusker offense goes off and hangs 51 on OkieSt.

[Solomwi]

Baylor is bowl eligible. Texas is not.

[Ben Kenobi]

Well looks like Mizzou is for real. Once again the BCS is a joke. Boise number 1, at last!

[reismark]

Auburn wins, Oklahoma loses, and while it's not CFB-related, the Phillies go home, all add up to a good day in sports.

There's no way they won't put Oregon at #1. It's not deserved, but since they were #2 and won, they'll be #1.

[Solomwi]

There's no way they won't put Oregon at #1. It's not deserved, but since they were #2 and won, they'll be #1.

Huh? They were already #1 in both polls, and the BCS doesn't work that way. It just puts all the disparate pieces together and spits out where they fall. That said, I expect Oregon to be #1 in the BCS, but not because any "they" put them there. Given that OU was ahead of everybody in the computers, and ahead of everybody but OU and Boise (tied with TCU) in the polls, their loss helps Oregon and BSU least. Auburn should dominate the computers. Oregon should keep its two #1 spots. That should put Oregon at #1, but it will depend on the margins.

[SlowwHand]

Oklahoma was #1.

(1) Oklahoma 27
(11) Missouri 36

Maybe not. I just know what I'm reading.
