College Football - Week 14 (Nov. 30)

[Andy]

OSU would be slaughtered by Bama, even if OSU was fresh and Bama had just finished the Iron Bowl. Buckeyes' schedule was such a joke.

I'm starting to think MSU will win next week. If OSU's defense can't stop freaking Michigan, then MSU can score enough points to win.

You do get to play Vandy and Kentucky every year, so there's that...

 

Kentucky sucks, but Vandy has beaten Ole Miss 5 of the last 7 years.

It's gonna be a great game next week for sure. I think MSU can take them.

Off-field, but according to multiple reporters on Twitter, Kevin Sumlin has signed a new 6-year deal with Texas A&M.

Well aware of this. They have our number, even in our best years. It's a game of dread for us. As a Rebel I'd rather play LSU any day than Vandy.

 

However, against everyone else Vandy is a doormat. Although they've been much improved under Franklin.

How did I not know that Tre Mason was the son of De La Soul's Maseo?

I drafted him on my college football fantasy team solely for that reason. He's been my best RB so impeccable draft strategy.

[Ryne Ween]

Sumlin you silly man. Nothing against AM but you coulda had the USC job.

Ed Orgeron approves of this.

I know you qualified this with "improved under Franklin," but doormat is still a massive overstatement. Under Franklin, the Commodores have beaten Mizzou, Auburn, Tennessee (x2), Ole Miss (x2), NC State, Florida, and Georgia...that's an impressive resume for 95% of the teams in the country over a three-year period.

All right, Michigan, show us you have the stones to make a defensive stand when you need it.

Vandy is no doubt MUCH improved, but there were some really bad teams they defeated in many of those wins:

 

Mizzou in 2012 - Was a 5-7 team, 2-6 in SEC

Ole Miss in 2011 - a 2-10 team, 0-8 in SEC

Ole Miss in 2012 - a 6-6 team, 3-5 in SEC

Auburn in 2012 - a 3-9 team, 0-8 in SEC

Tenn in 2013 - a 5-7 team, 2-6 in SEC (I'm giving them the UK game today)

Tenn in 2012 - a 5-7 team, 1-7 in SEC

Florida in 2013 - a 4-8 team, 3-5 in SEC

 

So aside from their victory over Georgia this year, those SEC teams you listed were 11-45 in Conference play those years.

 

If you factor in Georgia and their three victories over Kentucky, the 11 SEC opponents that Franklin has beaten were 18-70 in SEC play.

Unload the cortisone into that ankle.

What are you doing to us Michigan?

[Guest]

So Michigan has to go for 2 if they score here, right? There's no way they can outscore OSU in OT.

[Formerly Snayke]

Wish he had kept it to the outside.

[SpongeWorthy]

Why would you spike it

I absolutely agree. Go for it.

[SpongeWorthy]

Go for 2

[SpongeWorthy]

[Guest]

Going for two...
