College Football - Week 5 (Oct. 1st)

[Formerly Snayke]

Can't really call it a must win, but the Aggies NEED to beat Arkansas this weekend.

 

This will be a nice reminder that aTm shouldn't have left their daddy.

I hate Purdue

 

You hate a mediocre-at-best team that Notre Dame will probably beat by at least two touchdowns?

I'm not sure ND will beat any team by 2 TDs this year.

 

I hate that purdue is on the schedule and take up a Sept spot at that. They aren't rivals, they share no interesting history. So they're close geographically. So is IU, but we don't play them every Sept.

Oh really?

[tadowdaddy]

Baylor and RGIII this week, meh.. Not sure I will want to watch.

Oh really?

 

I know. And I still wouldn't bet on ND beating any other team by 2 TD, even Purdue or Wake. Would you?

[SpongeWorthy]

USC is ripe for an ass kicking. Matt Barkley is making me pine for John David Booty.

Arizona isn't that good though and the game is at the Coliseum.

 

Outside of Kalil, that USC o-line is wretched.

It depends on what the bet is. If the bet is ND beating any team by two TD's, I would happily take that bet. I'd consider it even if the bet was they have to beat two more teams by two TD's. If the bet was they beat a specific team by two TD's, I wouldn't take that bet because ND's habits are so schizophrenic. But I do think that some teams coming up are substantially worse than any team they've played so far and ND could very well win by 2 TD's even if they do commit some turnovers.

That's true. Even after ending the streak last year, ND may be looking to kill usc at home once in a decade.

He's the most exciting player to watch in the Big 12 at least. Curious as to what NFL scouts think of him.

I have to go to a wedding and subsequent reception...meaning, unless I find a TV, I'm going to miss one of the biggest Badgers games in years.

 

[expletive].

 

Had a pretty big game last year vs. Ohio St. They'll beat Nebraska. They are a better team and at home in a night game.

 

I think this is a bigger game, but I'm also much more confident than vs. OSU last game.

 

2 top ten teams, Wisconsin can finally solidify itself this year as a top 5 team by playing a really good team on the national stage.

 

Camp Randall at night is getting closer to the top tier of night locations (LSU, Bama, VTech) for showcase games.

I just wish they'd schedule tougher non-conference games. It seems every year they face Cupcake University and St. Mary's School for the Blind.

are you incapable of ever making a post that isnt the most generic [expletive] ever?

Thanks for your hard hitting analysis of my post.

That's, what, the 4th time you've used that in the span of 2 days? I assume it's some sort of insult?

I thought they had a pretty decent Center?

True, Holmes is decent. Otherwise, they're starting a true freshman and 2 sophomores who are getting worked quite regularly. And Barkley is definitely is making a lot of mistakes against the pressure.

Conference schedules start, people.

 

It's time for WAR!

Just for kicks, here are Sagarin's BCS rankings for this week (Bayesian, meaning it's partially weighted by last year's results and predictions):

 

1. Alabama

2. LSU

3. Boise State

4. Oklahoma State

5. Nebraska

6. Florida

7. Oklahoma

8. South Carolina

9. South Florida

10. Illinois

11. Virginia Tech

12. Clemson

13. Georgia Tech

14. Texas

15. Stanford

16. Michigan

17. Oregon

18. Wisconsin

19. Penn State

20. Texas Tech

21. Baylor

22. Arizona State

23. USC

24. TCU

25. West Virginia

 

Keep in mind his BCS rankings factor in wins and losses (and SOS) only, no score margin factor. If you go the complete other way, and take only margin of score (and SOS) into account, they look like this:

 

1. LSU

2. Alabama

3. Stanford

4. Oklahoma

5. Oregon

6. Boise State

7. Florida

8. Wisconsin

9. Oklahoma State
