The next three weeks in the Big 12 will be fun.

 

Nov. 14: Oklahoma at Baylor

Nov. 21: TCU at Oklahoma, Baylor at Oklahoma St.

Nov. 27/28: Baylor at TCU, Oklahoma at Oklahoma St.

[apete6]

Too bad Memphis lost as Gameday could have chosen to head to Houston.

Yup, this is where the Big 12 canabilizes itself so that no one makes the playoffs, while a 2 loss Michigan team wins the Big Ten and claims the 4th spot :lol:

[SouthSideRyan]

Mike THomas out at UI

Bump since this is the actual thread for this week so it doesn't get lost.

Absolute chaos would have to reign, but UM could still get in. I think Michigan will win out (and hopefully open up a playoff spot for ND in the process) so that MSU loss might end up stinging even more.

If Kentucky can upset Vandy, they'll get to 6 wins more than likely and get to a bad bowl game.

 

This year is a repeat of last year.

Would love IU to beat Maryland and Purdue and face UK in the Music City Bowl.

[Andy]

Yet another coaching change

ETA: Apparently he was diagnosed with lymphoma in May. Said that he decided before the last week's events that it would be his last season.

Ohio State has played 10 mediocre to bad teams and has pulled this half-ass garbage in like 8 of those games. That's what life is like when you give yourself a 3 game season.

If they weren't defending champs and were judged solely on the merit of this season, they'd be around 9 or 10 in the rankings

The committee uses more of an eye test than pure numbers. OSU hasn't looked particularly good beating just about anyone this year

[NewUserName]

Winning by 18 at end of 3rd, on the road, Illinois has a solid defense, lost a td on first drive, huge games in next two weeks. What are you guys talking about? If they don't win by 60 they suck?

That's just not true. And exactly where the "eye test" fails.

 

When people say eye test they infer ignorance about what actually happens.

 

Besides, you just said based on merit only they'd be 9th or 10th. Computers they're more like 5th, and to the committee they're 3rd. And to AP voters, they'd been first. So what merit do you base your ignorance on this time?

It was 7-3 when I posted that and it was late 2nd quarter. I knew OSU was going to pull away because Illinois sucks, but it gets annoying seeing them just able to sleepwalk through half the game against everyone they play.

Illinois does not suck.

[Andy]

They're 5-5 and haven't played anyone good in the East except Ohio State. They suck.

[snoodmonger]

Sigh. Had a chance to win that game. Tough to do when everybody is a freshman, but man that would have been a shot in the arm for KU football.

[NewUserName]

Okay, even if they suck by your ultra strict definition, OSU won by 25 and should have been 32 since they scored a td on their first drive that didn't count. At no time was that game in any doubt. Even when it was 7-3 in the 2nd.

[Andy]

I didn't think it was in doubt.

[UMFan83]

I'm pretty sure that not one opposing fan base has enjoyed watching their team play Indiana this year. Even the Penn State game they were within a score until less than a minute left in the 3rd quarter.
