College Football - Championship Week (Dec. 1)

Why does the Stanford tree mascot have big ass lips?

Kent St. wasn't going to the BCS if they won anyway. Didn't look good enough for most of the game.

 

I disagree. As long as UCLA/Texas end up losing, Kent State would have very likely been 16th if they had won. They didn't really need to gain in the polls, they just needed to make sure they didn't lose a bunch of votes to teams like Northwestern or especially Michigan. And I don't think that would have happened.

 

However, Northern Illinois needs everything to go perfectly right in order to make it. They would need UCLA/Texas to lose. They would need many of the voters to drop UCLA in between where Northern Illinois is and where Michigan is. They would need Boise to likely lose or win in an ugly enough fashion that they can pass them in the polls. It's not impossible for them, but they'll probably finish a spot or two short.

when you really suck AND you never get any calls, it makes it almost impossible to win.

Nice job by Lacy likely costing Alabama seven points by trying to reach the ball out over the goalline. If he doesn't do that, Bama has the ball inside the 1 rather than the 5 and probably runs the ball again and likely gets in. Instead, it's an interception.

[sneakypower]

that, and McCarron making about as bad a read you'll ever see a big name QB make; this guy was supposed to get a trip to NYC?

[Tracer Bullet]

Mccarron gets a flag for a shoulder to shoulder hit. Murray doesn't when a guy hits him helmet to helmet in front of the ref. Huh

[sneakypower]

that was a pretty vicious hit with malicious intent

[Tracer Bullet]

90 should be done for the game, if we're actually concerned with head injuries

[Guest]

Good thing Saban saved those three timeouts with 35 seconds left.

[Guest]

It was a vicious hit and deserved 15 yards but sadly, it looks like these announcers are going to give Aaron Murray the Chris Duhon treatment the rest of the way.

[Guest]

The dude doing the chest passes in the Dr Pepper contest was awesome.

Not surprising that he's a basketball player. It was hilarious.

I've never been a McCarron fan. He's a good game manager in the mold Saban likes, but he's no more than a McElroy type QB at the NFL level.

That ball wasn't tipped, Alabama should have gotten PI there and never had to try that FG.

Hard to tell either way. His hand was in a spot where it looked like it had to hit his hand. But the ball never changed. If he touched it, it was barely.

[OleMissCub]

Could Verne at least TRY to not sound like such a Bama homer. Enough with this old drunk calling SEC games.

[Sosa21MVP]

Eh, Bama strikes right back so it is a wash. :P

This CBS crew is really bad - especially in comparison to the Musberger/Herbstreit and Gus/Charles Davis crews that have followed them all season.

It's not bad. He's been plenty excited about plays on both sides. And he all but cried when Murray didn't get the penalty and has kinda of been overdoing it on how great his career has been.

That was cheating.

[Formerly Snayke]

This is going to be anticlimactic.

[OleMissCub]

Verne just said "he only fumbled twice this year, one of them not his fault."

 

How is a fumble not your fault?

He also discussed how ironic it would be if the score held at 32-28 without explaining why.

[Formerly Snayke]

Oh man.
