Maryland 14...Rutgers 3. with 5 and change left in the second period.

 

If Maryland holds on, I have to think this would be bad news for the Big East.

 

Rutgers losing to a team WVU handled easily right after South Florida beat the Mountaineers doesn't do much for the prestige of a conference.

 

Granted still a very long way to go in this one.

 

I'll make the Cuse argument for a second. When teams in the SEC all give each other losses, it's because the conference is a gauntlet that nobody can go undefeated in. When the BE does it, it's because all the teams are bad in the conference. Everyone argued last year that WV, Louisville, and Rutgers were good because the rest of the conference was terrible. Now that the other part of the conference is better, how is that bad for the conference?

 

Because it's debatable how good the rest of the conference is. WVU handled Maryland easily, assuming Rutgers loses today (which I grant is still very much in doubt), I don't see how that's a good thing for the conference.

 

Also, as in my reply to Cuse, nobody knows exactly how good USF and Cinci are. People were just warming up to the top 3, now those major powers losing isn't a good thing perception-wise.

Wow. Colorado just won. :shock:

 

and the fans are rushing the field. awesome.

 

Wow. I really thought OK was the team to beat and had the best path to the BCS game.

 

Perhaps the Sooners were overated, or the Buffs were underated.

 

Interesting question. I would lean toward OU being overated.

did the university take down the goal post themselves? Otherwise that is the quickest take down in the history of college football.

 

haha little kid for OU crying :twisted:. They are going to be pissed off next week now :( .

OK...this is my point. OK and WV lose. This dumb announcer guy says WV drops out of the picture. Nothing about OK. WV loses to the 18th ranked team and is better than that imo while OK loses to a terrible 1-3 team and is still in the picture? This is why I go nuts.

I dont think they are overrated. I think OU got caught looking ahead 1 week. They simply were not prepared or taking CU seriously. Honestly Colorado has been a joke for the past 12 months.

they're both out of the picture... just b/c OU announcer didn't say that doesn't mean it's not the case

If there are 2 undefeated teams left, yes. But this season may fall like the others and have us down to 1. Plus, it's the way he said it...so dismissive.

 

TD Rutgers. 17-14.

It's one loss, so really neither team is necessarily out of the picture.

 

Of course, neither team looks like a title contender, so it might not matter, anyway.

I think Dan Hawkins will turn CU around. It may take a while, but I really think he can make them relevant again.

 

Also, it's definitely likely that OU was overlooking CU, but I have to wonder how - if they're really as good as people say they are - how they couldn't turn it on against an awful CU team.

 

Is OU great? Yes, but I'm not sure if they're top 5 great after this game.

Even if there is only one unbeaten, a loss to CU is going to carry far more weight than a loss to even a decent team. OU's going to have to get lucky to make the title game now.

Touchdown for Rawaction Jackson and Cal ties it at 10 in Eugene.

 

Should be 13-10 Cal but the refs muffed up a FG for Cal and called it wide left.
