NCAA Football 2012-13 season

Boy ND just got a gift.... CLEAR PASS Interference on the play that the LB had the interception, no one said anything about it, but he's tackling the recvr with the ball still 5 yards away.

Nice officials they have there ...

If I were the Oklahoma staff, I'd be pissed.

Michigan is going down tonight, as I mentioned, they are not that great.

Yup, there ya go,Officials don't call the obvious PI and give ND the ball and they kick a FG to go up by 10 late ....
All due to a BAD CALL on the lack of call because they are too busy watching the highly hyped LB instead of watching the play develop.

That was almost as bad as the Tigers this week.

Well they can't play a top 10 team every week but they have played plenty of top 25 teams. Their defense is legit. Oklahoma put up 63 and 52 their last 2 games. So far they have 13 tonight. The defense didn't give up a TD to Michigan, Michigan State, or Stanford. Stanford scored a touchdown by recovering a ND fumble in their own end zone. They might not put up 60 points every game but the strength of their team is the defense and they are 8-0.

Come on man. It's 30-13. It's not like 1 call cost Oklahoma this game. Notre Dame outplayed them. It's as simple as that.

Just gotta give props to the man at UNC.Giovanni Brenard!k: Was a great game against the Wolfpack.Loved the chrome helmets they debuted!

 

[Mr Tony]

one thing I learned watching FCS football....I wouldnt want to be the team facing a "powerhouse" after a loss

North Dakota State loses 2 weeks ago (NDSU was #1 team)....last week they ring up 56 on South Dakota (wins 56-0)
Montana loses to North Dakota last week.....hangs 70 on Idaho State yesterday (wins 70-24)
Montana State loses 2 weeks ago.....had a bye last week....rings up 55 on North Dakota (wins 55-10)

If Ohio State ends up in the top 10, I would be surprised/happy.

The Offense while very explosive at times, is very poor other times.
The passing game is very avg and thats being nice.
If you shut down the running game in Urban's spread Offense, can Braxton Miller pass his way to a victory ?
Against the Big Boys, I doubt it.

Buckeyes D has been poor most of the year, but doing just enough to win.

Yesterday was a change, they came with aggressive play on D and played VERY well ...
IF we see this type of D the rest of the way and have success, then and ONLY then would I consider them a top 10.

Can they beat the Bama's of the world, NO, but not many others can either ...
If the D plays like it's capable of (yesterday), they could hang with most teams.

I'm glad one of the polls still include them as this gives you a reference as to where they would be.

Nice! ND jumped Oregon due to their computer scores. Now they just need to get the voter attention.

 

[Teehar]

I don't buy that BCS crap.How is SC with 2 losses in a row then barely beating UT rank ahead of Clemson or FSU?Oh they play in the SEC.

According to the computers ND and K State are tied for first and both are ahead of Bama so part of the BCS is giving credit outside the SEC. The voter polls are the reason Alabama is still number 1.

And more importantly Clempson and FSU play in the ACC, which is not a bastion of football prowess.

BCS sux!I like South Carolina but come on a 3 point win over UT merits them ranking ahead of both Clemson and FSU.At least Clemson will have a chance to stick it up the BCS's butt when they play SC.

Like last year when Clemson was ACC Champion and SCAR killed them, and Cincy destroyed them. or the year before that when SCAR killed them, or the year before that.. Have to go back 5 years before you find a clemson win..

And this is probably the best SCAR defense in team history, the offense of course is missing a few steps. Clemson of course not known in any way shape or form for their defense so SCARS shakey offense should not have much issue. , I expect and as do the voters rightfully so a SCAR blow out vs clemson. Although it is a rivalry game and we all know anything can happen during those, but I doubt it this go around.

 

[Ramy]

this season can't die soon enough
I can't wait until John L Smith and his stupid grin are both gone

You ain't got nothing on us Kentucky fans.

 

[Ramy]

I hope Louisville goes undefeated.

Not Cincy - you mean West Virginia. Clemson won't play for the ACC title game and as odd as I'm thinking it will happen it will be between either Miami/VT and FSU. Miami and VT play thursday night and the winner of this game could very well win out - VT will beat FSU the first go around but I look for FSU to win the next round in the ACC title game if VT beats Miami which here lately its hard to say who will win.
