only as much as florida's strength of schedule would be helped by an 8-4 team beating a 4-8 team; i.e., very very very little.

 

Ah, OK. Wasn't sure if points put up by teams that beat you makes any difference on that sort of thing.

i don't believe so. personally i think that any system that regards texas tech's win over texas the same as oklahoma's win over texas tech is terrible. if you want to add a limit to margin of victory so that teams aren't rewarded for running up the score - say, 30 points - that's fine. but margin of victory should really matter.

I do agree that there should be a limit, otherwise you're pretty much promoting running up the score. I think a 20-30 cap on margin of victory would be a good thing.

Latest rumor (which I put almost ZERO stock in...):

 

Norm Chow to be Kiffin's OC at Tennessee.

 

Not gonna' happen, but that's out there floating around.

[Derwood]

the QB for Arkansas just sacked himself

That would be hilarious. The thought of Monte Kiffin at DC and Norm Chow at OC at Tennessee makes me very happy.

 

I agree, though, pretty much less than zero chance of that happening.

That would be the littlest Dick, Nathan.

[Derwood]

Arkansas is driving thanks to about 58 LSU penalties in a row

[dew1679666265]

ESPN's gamecast is completely screwed up. The graphic in the box score says 23-14 LSU, while the box at the top of the page says 30-24 LSU.

 

Awesome.

[SpongeWorthy]

I've got to believe Kiffin wanted to have offensive playcalling duties at any position he took.

[Guest]

The only reason Norm is even coaching is because he can go to his real home in Manhattan Beach after work. He's not going clear across the country again. And I don't see Kiffin wanting to do that either.

[manbearcub]

I find it really, really odd there are no Nebraska fans here. Seems like most of them would be Cubs fans.

 

Anyways, lets go Buffaloes.

Monte wouldn't be moving across the country since he's currently housed in Tampa. The only reason I see him coming here, though, is to help his son with his first collegiate head coaching job. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for him to leave (not really doubting your sources, Hosak).

There's a few that show up from time to time.

 

Losing to Colorado at home with 12 minutes to play, ORDER RESTORED

[E.J.]

Haha LSU. Nice work on basically giving the game to Arkansas.

[E.J.]

LOL. LSU tries a 64-yard field goal instead of trying for the hail mary to finish the game.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

hahaha, earlier Nebraska tried the LSU behind the head fake field goal and got picked off for a TD, that's awesome

[Derwood]

the blue turf in Boise is the worst thing ever

[Jon]

What an amazing kick by Nebraska.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

holy moly, he made the 57 yarder to give Nebraska the lead. Colorado needs a field goal with 1:30 and a timeout.

[B]

:rotfl: :rotfl: LSU

[E.J.]

Nice hands by the Nebraska big man there.

[Derwood]

picked by a D-Lineman...ballgame

[Outshined_One]

Fresno State/Boise State has the potential to be a fun game, but holy hell is that field giving me a headache.

[Andy]

I somehow managed to get a media pass to the MAC title game next Friday even though I applied on behalf of the Web site I write for, which probably is the first time that site has ever been given a media pass. Now I just need to get off work to go 'cover' it.
