2017-18 NCAA Football Thread

Don't forget that Clemsons Starting QB was knocked out of the game ....
But you still have to think they should have won it.
They were behind or tied when it happened.

At no point did they have control of that game. Starting qb or not.

Good point, but that doesn't mean that they would not have come back WITH the starter in there ... then again, thier starter is a first year guy as far as playing goes anyways.

Mr. Watson didn't come thru that door tonight !
 
Wow, Washington state upset in the very next game.

Upset? Maybe by rankings but I don't put much stock in rankings outside top 2 or 3 until most season has played out. 5 home games starting season against nobody teams and beating 2 decent teams Oregon who is a shell of the original team with QB getting injured, and the one quality win over waaaay..... Overrated USC.
What I saw last night I wouldn't even have them ranked inside top 20. Game was a no doubter Cal was the better team even if they played multiple times on neutral field.
 
LSU 27 Auburn 23

20-0 comeback. Don't know if LSU is getting their act together or Auburn just choked. A little of both I suppose. I'll take it. :)
 
Big win for TAMU at Florida. Probably saved Kevin Sumlin's job. I hope not being an Aggie dad/fan when Sumlin came in he inherited damn good team Manziel, Mike Williams, Myles Garrett and such but since his recruits have struggled with lots of internal turmoil within. He's just not good for TAMU IMO and hope he goes.
 
Currently watching the ASU/Washington game. First half it's been all ASU. Amazing how college football is with ASU looking superior and hasn't had the brain farts they were known for in other games. Could become a spoiler down the stretch. Second half is where Washington has shined all year so still far from over.

Call me crazy but I think Michigan can pull off the win next week in Happy valley
Yes, Michigan Can win next week, but Will they is the issue .... their Defense will be tested with Barkly and McSorly.
Thief Offense would have to surprise everyone and their QB play has been avg at best.

For those without Pac 12 Network, missed a great game Arizona vs Cal went into double OT. Both Arizona schools are playing well this year.
