College Football 2013 Season

[Boris Godunov]

Here is a perfect example of how retarded College Football Polls are: Badgers are a 10 point favorite tonight against a team that is ranked 4 places higher than them.

You do realize the folks who vote in the polls aren't the same one who determine the odds, right? Vegas odds aren't meant to say who's the better team, just who they think will win an individual game.

MSU didn't lose to a 6-6 team, and they beat Wisconsin head-to-head. The rankings are perfectly sensible based on the actual results, not what Vegas odds makers think is going to happen on any particular day.

At ant rate, you should be pretty concerned that those lowly Spartans have scored 22 unanswered points on the Badgers...

No.

They are designed to maximize the action on both sides of the betting line. It is not what they think will happen; it is what they think will generate the most cash for the casinos; hence, the line moving before the games based on betting action.

[Guynemer]

Incidentally, I ****ing hate Mark Dantonio, he is a giant dick and douche of the highest magnitude, but one can not deny that he has ****ing massive balls.

[H Tower]

What the hell is going on? I'm working tonight and can't watch the game, but i can follow the score. 22 unanswered points for Sparty?

[Guynemer]

A few amazing playcalls/improvisations:

MSU has 4th and 1 from Wisky 25ish. Play action pass to a wideopen TE? on the corner route, TD.

Later, MSU throws quick out to Wisky 5ish; as the receiver is getting spun around by a defender, he pitches it to another Sparty, TD.

On the ensuing extra point attempt, Sparty pulls a fake, 2 points.

Meanwhile, the Sparty D-line is living in the Wisky backfield.



Meanwhile, Oklahoma State is straight-up skull****ing Oklahoma to the tune of 34-3. If they don't leapfrog Alabama for the #2 spot, I will burn all the things.

[H Tower]

Do you like or dislike that Whiskey only kicked an extra point? Down 29-28 now. I feel like they should have gone for two. If they fail, they still have to kick a field goal and would win, but otherwise would have tied up the score.

[Guynemer]

Like.

Plenty of time left; all kinds of scoring scenarios could come up, especially if Sparty hits a FG.

[H Tower]

The announcer just screamed like a little *****. Can we get a better crew next year? Even a BTN crew would have done better.

[Guynemer]

Are you out of your god damned mind?

Gus Johnson is a national ****ing treasure. That is the ONLY good thing about this being on FOX.




It is estimated that only about 25% of voters between the Coaches' and Harris Polls will need to put the Pokes at #2 to avoid a rematch. Which means it is possible/likely that, if Michigan gets into the top 14 (likely at this point), they will bookend the offseason with games against Alabama.

[H Tower]

I say his foot came down both in and out of bounds. But even if it was in, he lost possession of the ball when he fell to the ground.

[H Tower]

Running into the kicker.

[Guynemer]

1. LSU
2. Oklahoma State
3. Alabama
4. Boise State
5. Oregon
6. Stanford
7. Wisconsin
8. USC
9. Arkansas
10. Michigan State

Near: Michigan, BYU, South Carolina, TCU, Kansas State, Virginia Tech, Baylor

Far: Oklahoma, Texas

[Imran Siddiqui]

If Michigan State makes it to the Big 10 Championship, Wisconsin will win by at least three TDs (maybe a little less during garbage time).

How did that 3 TD win go? MSU was 1 running into the kicker penalty from winning that game.

I think the Badgers are going to be in trouble against Oregon's offense.

Great game in the Big 10 Championship - shame it basically ended on a call.

[SlowwHand]

Needs to be LSU vs. Oklahoma State in championship game.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'd be for that. Alabama already had their shot at LSU.
