College Football - Week 9 (Oct. 26)

[NewUserName]

so is it just me or has this college football season been amongst the most boring in recent years? I don't know if its because Michigan has been disappointing, or the Big Ten as a whole, or because its actually legitimately boring, but there just doesn't seem to be the type of compelling storylines as in recent years.

It's not just you. This season definitely seems to be somewhat lacking for drama by CFB standards. Plenty of time left for that to change, though.

I noticed the NSBB action has been way down this year also. I have wanted to defend MSU at times this year but there really hasn't been any one to defend them to.

A lot of it is that there is a pretty consensus top 4 teams and none of them have that mind blowing loss yet. College Football truly gets nuts when there's a huge upset toward the end of the season.

 

Also, there are a lot of B1G fans on the board and the B1G is basically Ohio State and a bunch of garbage. No one is picking on a team like Michigan State because they are clearly the 2nd or 3rd best team in the B1G and, therefore, about the 5th-7th best team in the Pac 12, SEC, or Big 12.

I went to the MSU/ND game and assumed afterward that it was a crap game (which it was) between two crap teams (which it apparently wasn't). I'm looking forward to seeing how MSU matches up with the Buckeyes in Indy.

That was the only game I've gone to this year, Andy, and I thought it was that game that made me so distant from college football this season. That game suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. I spent half the 4th quarter charging my phone and missed absolutely nothing

I think MSU/Wisconsin are probably 3/4 in the Pac 12 and Big 12. Not sure what to make of SEC this season. I know Alabama is an elite team. But after them it is kind of murky. Not sure where MSU would fit in there

That's fair. I think MSU or Wisconsin would be on Ole Miss' level. So, you have Bama, Mizzou, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina, Texas A&M all better than MSU and Wisconsin and Ole Miss and Georgia (at this point) on the same level with Florida and Vandy just behind.
