College Football - Week of 11/22

[Mephistopheles]

the drive killer comes through!

 

oh my god that just made up for the giant tebow picture and his big, dumb face

 

This could clinch the Heisman for your boy.

 

Harrell is rattled and I'm not sure I like this call.

 

Really though the defense is why he'd win it. The problem is that Bradford is not really doing all that much. He's playing well, but really the running game has been dominant.

I definitely agree that breaking in a new QB is extremely difficult. LSU might be a bit different in that I'm not sure they're QBs are that good. Hatch transferred from Harvard and Lee is young, but how highly was he thought of? I honestly don't know.

 

Bama has a young stud (supposedly) waiting in the wings. That could make the transition a bit easier, especially if the players around him perform.

 

That said, I hope you're right. There might be one team in the NCAA I hate more than Bama.

 

Florida? I should let you know that if Tim Tebow goes. Snead will be the best QB in the conference, with Stafford, JPW and Tebow out. The second best will probably be between Ryan Mallett and John Brantley, two sophomores with very little experience.

 

Yep, Florida. :D

 

And you're probably right - of course, there aren't many good QBs in the conference now. Stafford, Tebow and Snead are probably it.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

21-nil.

 

So now the question begins. Do they jump Texas?

 

On what basis? Texas beat OU (slimly, albeit) and lost to Tech in Lubbock (very, very slimly).

 

I don't think they should.

 

You have a triangle of wins between OU/Tech/Texas. Tech has the worst schedule of the 3, with no games of note beside the 3 south teams, and 2 of those 3 were at home. OU has non-con wins over Cincy and TCU, in addition to Tech(in this scenario). Texas has OU, Mizzou, and OSU. So, I'd say that Texas probably deserves to stay in front this week, but OU would probably deserve to jump them if they beat OSU next week.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How many Tech defensive backs are going to get juked out of their shoes? My goodness.

[imb]

iglesias just juked two honky's out of their shoes

[Butterscup1679666578]

Most of the voters will likely credit Bradford with the high point total, though. Especially since he and Harrell were at or toward the top of the list beforehand.

[hardcorecubfan]

please just dont get blown out

 

LOL

 

Here is a real blow out but niether team played Defense

 

Abilene Christian 93 West Texas A+M 68 and WT is the college in my town

[Mephistopheles]

on the basis that the Sooners are kicking the crap out of a team that Texas did not.

 

That being said, Texas Tech was never the second best team in the country. Just like West Virginia, Boston College, South Florida, Oregon (post Dixon injury) and a half dozen other teams were last season.

[RedFlash]

Ole Miss is probably going to enter the 2009 season as the favorites in the SEC West. They are young, equaled Bama head to head and knocked off Florida and LSU. They're a very good football team. They *should* be top 25. They should have been before this week, too.

 

Also, there should be no surprises if Texas Tech continues to get pummeled by the Sooners. This was expected.

 

You really think they'll be favored over Bama? The Tide is returning quite a few great young players as well.

 

I'd favor Bama by a little, if Nick Saban is still there next year.

 

Yeah, Alabama should be favored to win the West next yr, even tho it wouldn't surprise me if Ole Miss gives Bama all they can handle for the division title next yr.

 

Nick Saban is at Alabama till he retires. There's not a better job out there, (yes I said it, there are not better jobs. There might be equal jobs, but no better jobs out there) that is open. Nick Saban is at Alabama till atleast 2015. You can write that down now.

After they beat OSU, I don't think I'd have a big problem with it.

this game is boring... i'm switching over to oregon st-arizona.

OU's kicking the crap out of Tech at home, though. I don't think this happens quite as badly in Lubbock.

[Mephistopheles]

The only way he's at Alabama in 2015 is if he gets offered a huge contract by someone else, like Temple, goes there for a few seasons and then Alabama buys him back*

 

He's probably at one other school with a big contract in between as well.

That's what I thought about LSU too. If he gets the itch (which is likely), he'll leave. Be it back to the NFL (somewhat doubtful), Notre Dame, USC . . . . he'll leave at some point.

Problem is that the Sooners probably beat the 'Horns in Austin. Yes, we beat them in Dallas, but we didn't out play them and our performance outside of that game isn't as impressive as theirs has been.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol oregon st missed an extra point to tie it

If ND fires Weiss (surely they won't), I wouldn't be surprised to see him flirt with them. Also, Pete Carroll may well get bored at USC and either retire or head back to the NFL. USC would almost doubtlessly outdo the $4 mil Bama pays Saban.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

No one misses more crucial extra points than Oregon State.

I see what you're getting at. I'll feel a lot better if it happens next week with a win over Okie State on the resume, though.

Wow, that was a horrible missed PAT for Oregon State...that's how you're going to lose out on the Rose Bowl?

it'd be a bidding war between alabama and usc... the winner would be the school that cuts player salaries the most to give that money to the coach.

USC would probably win that one. There are enough beaches and beautiful women in Southern Cal to sway players if you offer a little less money than Bama.

Just cut Tim Floyd's spending money...I mean, Pink Floyd can just go ask for the money from Lil' Romeo.
