College Football - Championship Week and Beyond

Verne needs to learn the rules of football.

Geez, this isn't the Arena League guys...

Reminds me of that time Peanut Tillman returned a blocked extra point to the end zone against the Rams on MNF a few years ago. He was going crazy before he realized that you don't get points for returning a blocked XP in the NFL.

And I thought the whole "is it a fumble or an incomplete pass?" when McElroy held onto the football thing was stupid.

I like how they had to wait for someone to actually tell them in the booth that the play was dead after it hit the upright.

 

How long have these imbeciles been doing games?

Verne seems to be losing a step. If he ever had it.

 

Tebow is such a poser. The bible verses on his eye black are really a bit much.

Lundquist has been doing football broadcasts for 42 years

While I'd enjoy Alabama blowing out Florida, I think we need an "unconvincing" win by either team to give TCU a chance to move up in the rankings

[da bears]

Gary Danielson is the one of the biggest blowhard moron announcing football games right now. He's in Millen's category of crapiness. Holy crap these guys both suck.

Lundquist has been doing football broadcasts for 42 years

and Danielson has been playing or broadcasting football at the college and pro levels since 1970

Which makes their ignorance all the more incredible.

That makes no sense. TCU is not going to jump both SEC teams, no matter what happens. An unconvincing win gives a greater chance of both these teams having a rematch in the championship game.

Agreed, TCU should prefer a wide margain of victory, ensuring they jump the SEC loser.

Yeah especially when the Bible verse he used says "Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus."

 

 

 

 

OK I made that up, that's just a completely random bible verse

That's not gonna happen. Even though this year's SEC is more respected than '06's Big 10, if they didn't give Michigan a rematch against Ohio State, I can't see them giving this loser a rematch. Michigan lost by 3 on the road, dropped to 3rd, then the 2nd place team (USC) lost, and Florida jumped them both just so that a UM/OSU rematch didn't happen.

Right, which is the point I was making.

It probably won't happen either way, but it's a lot likelier with, say, an OT victory today than a 24-0 blowout.

[Derwood]

Then what does TCU need? A Texas loss alone? Texas loss coupled with an SEC blowout?

[bukie]

For as "tough" as the SEC is, Florida's schedule this year was pretty pathetic. OOC was a complete joke (although FSU being bad wasn't Florida's fault), and the SEC East was bad top to bottom. The only really quality team they played was an LSU team that didn't beat anybody good.

[ISUCubsFan]

Texas loss + Cincy not jumping them + voters not wanting an SEC rematch.

I'm under the impression that a Texas loss alone, however Cinci helped its computer ranking by beating Pitt.

There is a huge difference between the voters sending Florida to the national title game and TCU/Cincy though.

 

If Alabama wins, does that make it more likely that Cincy might jump TCU in the rankings especially if Texas loses? It looks like Florida might still remain ahead of TCU but behind Cincy in several computer polls. It would depend on the human polls though, and I'm not sure a comeback victory is going to help Cincy enough. I think they needed a blowout. But some writers might give Cincy the edge being in one of the BCS conferences especially if it comes down to putting one of those two in the national title game.

TCU needs a Texas loss, an SEC blowout, and hope that Cincy doesn't jump them with today's win (which they probably will).

 

Basically, TCU needs 4 fewer undefeated teams than there are.

[Derwood]

I can't wait for the Wildcat to die a gruesome death. Most predictable play to defense ever

[SpongeWorthy]

I had no idea that a rematch was so likely if Texas went down tonight. That sucks.
