College Football 2013 Season

[Boris Godunov]

Many "experts" are predicting Oregon jumping to Number 1. I don't see it. I have nothing against Oregon, but I don't see it.

Oregon will certainly move to #1 in the Coaches Poll, yes, and they might be No. 1 in the BCS standings. I've not seen anything from the other two undefeated teams that makes me think they're better than Oregon. Notre Dame has a better defense, KSU has a small edge at QB (debatable, though--Mariota just had a 377 yard, 6-TD game), but Oregon has the best overall offense in the country and would rack up massive points on either of them. So the issue becomes, could either score enough on Oregon to win? Given that USC's offense, which is certainly one of the best in the country, couldn't do that playing at home in what was certainly their best game of the year, I don't think ND or KSU could, either.

[Boris Godunov]

Final 59-17 Oregon. For starting out as the most frightening first half of football that Oregon has played all season, the second half followed the script: racking up points while forcing lots of turnovers. Oregon should be #1 tomorrow. But jebus, their defense needs to get healthy for Stanford.

Told ya TAMU was the best in Texas.

You were quite right at that. Sadly a down year for TCU.

As for Oregon vs KSU - KSU has beaten a ridiculous number of ranked, or formerly ranked and bowl eligible teams, 5 in their own conference alone.

Edit - Fixed.

KSU. KU sucks.

ACK!

[Ben Kenobi]

I *did* say KSU earlier. Bah.

[Guynemer]

I'm a bit disappointed, actually. I wanted to see Bama go down in the title game, at the hands of the Ducks. C'est la vie.

[-Jrabbit]

If the SEC doesn't have a team in the title game, the terrorists win.

TAMU are clearly al Qaeda sympathizers.

No reason why that still couldn't happen. KSU will have its hands full with Texas, and ND is probably going to lose at USC.

[Tupac Shakur]

It's crazy how quickly A&M became the most nationally relevant team in Texas after moving to the SEC.

[Guynemer]

YOU

The refs have certainly been kind to you the last two weeks, Drake.

(Not that it would ultimately matter; we'd still have to beat anOSU, which seems unlikely with Denard on the sideline.)

[Tupac Shakur]

1. The announcers were ridiculous last night. That replay was not conclusive and borderline calls go to the home team. Chris Spielman can go **** himself.

2. Seriously, you're mad that we beat Sparty and Sandusky State?

[Tupac Shakur]

3. We're still fully capable of crapping the bed against Minnesota or Iowa, giving you guys the inside track for the West division title.

No, it was clear as ****ing day.

2. Seriously, you're mad that we beat Sparty and Sandusky State?

Not particularly, no. Just the manner in which both wins happened made it the worst of both worlds.

3. We're still fully capable of crapping the bed against Minnesota or Iowa, giving you guys the inside track for the West division title.

I suppose it is possible; both of those schools are usually liable for a LOLwut victory each year, and we haven't seen one yet (save Corn over Sparty).

But you forgot your best rebuttal:

4. None of that would've mattered had Michigan beaten Nebraska.

I never liked the idea of putting Gardner in at WR, and it bit us right on the ass in that game.

[Ben Kenobi]

They finally found a division they could win.

No. Just watched the replay without sound, clear touchdown.

ACK!
