College Football - Week 12 (Nov. 17)

[Smack]

Purdue's going to get a good coach in Dave Doeren. Iowa beating NIU didn't make too much sense in the beginning of the season and it definitely doesn't make sense now.

 

Sounds like he's going to have a few options and if I'm him I'm not sure I go to Purdue. Hopefully things change under Mitch Daniels but the current administration has been cheap. Hell, Painter had to put them through a week of serious anxiety to get them to pay his assistants a competitive salary.

[Smack]

As a Purdue alum and fan I would be happy to get him.

[Flames24Rulz]

I don't see Tennessee hiring another mid-major coach after the Dooley fiasco. Arkansas may have some interest in him, as he was a name that immediately popped up after the Petrino firing.

 

He's a guy with a Big Ten background, so if Purdue comes calling, I know he'll leave. It's the most logical fit for him and Purdue would be getting a hell of a coach. He's really turned NIU's defense around from the end of last season to where they're at now and the offense is extremely fun to watch with how fast and efficient they are.

Some people on Vols message boards are suggesting Jim Tressell (lol)

Corso almost killed that duck, lol

Michigan is going to win by a lot of points.

As fun as this is, seeing this pretty much takes away my last bit of hope that Nebraska can lose again to get UM in the Big Ten title game.

Also, SEC top 10 teams everyone!

 

(5) Georgia 10, Georgia Southern 7, 5:00 left 2nd quarter

(6) Florida 10, Jacksonville St. 0, Halftime

(9) South Carolina 7, Woffard 7, 12:00 left 3rd quarter

 

ok Alabama is beating their scrub 49-0 but whatever, that's terrible

 

Meanwhile...

 

1 loss (10) Florida State 41, Maryland 7

 

Not that Maryland is some juggernaut but they aren't Georgia Southern either

Sagarin predictor ratings for those four (and also Western Carolina playing Alabama)

 

Georgia Southern 87

Maryland 106

Wofford 121

Jacksonville State 156

Western Carolina 206

 

Georgia Southern and Wofford are FCS teams, but they are good FCS teams. Still not good for top 10 teams to be hanging around with them, but they're probably more dangerous then a decent amount of FBS teams. I'm not sure why these SEC teams continue to play them for exactly that reason. It has more potential to hurt then help.

You can't criticize SEC schedules and then pretend like the ACC is competent or FSU has a hard schedule. Their only good win is against a Clemson team that hasn't beaten anyone good.

I'm not criticizing their schedules as much as I am pointing out that these top 10 SEC teams are struggling against these scrub teams.

So for the Ohio State haters, how would them having the only major perfect record in the country in a year they were ineligible for a bowl game rate?

[rawaction]

Why is nobody wearing white in the USC/UCLA game?

Not as fun as them losing 7 games like last year, but still pretty amusing knowing that they probably could have avoided this year's bowl ban if they had been more forthcoming.

I work with an obnoxious OSU fan. He keeps telling me about their perfect record and I keep asking him who they're playing in the National Championship game.

[SpongeWorthy]

pour it on baby

[Smack]

I'm so glad Gary Nord is back. Can't even get a first down against the vaunted Illini defense. What a terrible play caller.

[SpongeWorthy]

stupid bruins dont blow it

[Smack]

Purdue and Illinois running MAC playbooks. Even more sad is the fact that they can't execute the plays as well as MAC teams.

[SpongeWorthy]

targeting lol

 

thats a disgrace

Loving Gus on the call for USC-UCLA.
