College Football - Week 8 (Oct. 19)

[Tracer Bullet]

3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 all went down this week.

 

And 15.

 

4 of those are in the SEC.

The league so often cannibalizes itself.

Florida State is probably going to run the table and be left out of the NCG.

Nope. Oregon and Alabama are both going to lose this year.

Yeah. Ole Miss, Tenn, and Vandy are always beating up on those others SEC teams.

No doubt! Crazy stuff

[Derwood]

Ohio State will lose as well

I don't see losses for either of them, especially Oregon.

[NOLA]

The last year of the BCS is going to be the biggest cluster [expletive] of them all. There may be 3 bowl games with an undefeated team this year. Baylor isn't losing probably. Florida St isn't going to lose to Miami or Florida.

College Game Day is going I Eugene for UCLA-Oregon next weekend. First time UCLA has been involved in Game Day since 2005.

 

I was kinda hoping the game would be at 10 pm ET so no one would notice how bad UCLA gets worked.

Man, the Big 12 has some weird scheduling luck this year. There's a clear top half of that conference(OU, OSU, Baylor, UT, Tech), and those teams have played a combined one game against each other(OU/UT). That's going to be a fun back-half of the conference schedule.

Until this year, it was the complete opposite. Wasn't the top 6 something like 48-0 against the bottom 8 over the last 2 years?

 

Regardless, even though the SEC isn't as good at the top, I'm more impressed with the league this year. The Tennessees, Vandys, Ole Miss's and Auburns of the league aren't walkovers as they had been lately.

If Baylor runs the table it will be interesting too see where they end up. The over/under on game with them and Oregon would be crazy.

My favorite part of the college football season is right around now when we've got a bunch of undefeated teams and people think that it's going to be a mess in the end when in reality, it almost always sorts itself out.

 

-Baylor still plays vs. OU, vs. TT, @ OSU, @ TCU, vs. Tex.

-TT still plays @ OU, vs. OSU, vs. Bay, @ Tex.

-Miami and FSU play each other (maybe twice) and FSU still plays Florida on the road.

-Oregon lost at home to Stanford last year. This year it's on the road. Plus they host UCLA.

-Missouri has home games against South Carolina and aTm plus the SEC title game.

-Ohio State still plays at Michigan plus the B10 title game.

-Bama still has home to LSU, @ Auburn and the SEC title game.

 

Remember when Louisville was supposed to roll through their crappy schedule on the way to an undefeated season? So much for that. Or when Stanford and Oregon were both going to be undefeated when they play on Nov. 7? Not anymore.

 

I'll take the under on 2.5 major conference unbeatens going into bowl season.

they have to play at Ole Miss too. That's gonna be a tough game.

no but it will be. tennessee at home won't be a cakewalk either.

[Guest]

Yeah, it's a weird dichotomy, since I think Mizzou truly deserves to be ranked 4th, yet I'm not remotely considering them a part of the NC race right now. I would guess that feeling will be the same until after the Ole Miss game, at least.

guess you haven't watched football the last two weeks

[Guest]

Haha, Oregon opens as a 21.5 point favorite over a team ranked 9 spots below them. And I feel like they should be favored by more.
