23 yd TD run for KSU, the lead is cut to one score.

Yeah where the hell was the defense on that drive?

I was playing NCAA simultaneously, but that Roughing the Passer was huge. It might have been after a failed 3rd down.

Brad Smith is 25 passing yards away from finishing the season with 2000+ yards passing and 1000+ yards rushing.

Go Michigan State! :)

 

Shame on you!

[Derwood]

So is the assumption that if PSU wins and Miami wins out, we'll see ND vs. O$U in the Fiesta and PSU vs. Miami in the Orange? I hate the idea of playing a Miami home game for a "neutral site" game.

It's total BS, I'll agree with you on that Derwood.

 

FG Fitzpatrick. It's his final game at ND Stadium along with many other great ones. 24-3 Irish.

Mizzou recovers a fumble at their own 1!!! That's gotta be the third time this season that's happened.

 

And give up a safety on the next play. :x

Penn State blocks a punt for a TD! 10-0 Lions!

 

RRRROOOOOAAARRRR!

[sweetpeteman]

man, I totally called that blocked punt!

Reason number 5,352 why the Hammond/Haden ND on NBC tandem is the worst in the universe:

 

They use up throwaway minutes talking about Bruno's Pizza...

Do bowl tie-ins allow the Fiesta to have 2 at-large teams?

Yes, the Fiesta gets 1st and 3rd pick for their chosen teams. ND will obviously be pick number 1, and if O$U is available at number 3 (which is very likely, for reasons I am not sure of at this point) they would almost assuredly also be chosen.

I dont think Michigan was playing any kind of prevent defense. Troy Smith just made about a ton of great plays on the last 2 TD drives. If you are going to fault Michigans coaching I thought they should have just gone for it on 4th and 4 with about 3 1/2 minutes left because I knew they were not going to stop OSU no matter what.

 

There is alot of unfair bowl games. Heck the Big Ten playing the Pac Ten in the Rose Bowl is almost always unfair. In all Bowl games do not favor northern schools though.

OSU just did to Michigan what Michigan did to Penn State. You keep them from driving the length of the field and you win. Didn't happen

34-3 Notre Dame. Fitzpatrick the kicker got hurt getting roughed on a FG attempt. Hope he's ok. Today's struggles aside (1 missed FG, 1 blocked FG) he's a valuable guy.

He also kicked the guy who got called for the penalty. rough way to lose your team 15 yards.

I hate watching college football on espn because the "mega life and health insurance" commercials really creep me out

Pet Peeve: When the other team's first-string offense scores a TD on your second-team defense to make a win look less impressive than it was.

 

34-10 ND.

So they shouldn't try to score and they should shut their offense down? You can't blame the other team. And you can't blame the team that gives up the TD either. It just happens.

I don't blame anyone. It's just a mild annoyance.

 

ND wins. One step closer to Tempe.

Ahh, understandable then.

 

If ND wins out, and we meet in the Fiesta, good luck. It should be a great game. :D

Mike Tirico (sp?) was pretty against ND making a BCS game as they discussed it during the PSU/Mich St. game. He argued that with all the 1-loss teams out there, ND's loss to a 5-6 Mich St. team should keep them out. He even argued that OSU shouldn't get in despite it's losses being to the #2 and #4 teams in the BCS standings. Would be a shame if Va Tech, Georgia or Oregon were bypassed for ND in my opinion.

I agree, but I definitely think OSU deserves it. There simply aren't enough 1-loss teams to take all of the at-larges are there?

OSU's 9-2 is much more impressive than ND's in my opinion. OSU lost to two top 5 teams with one of them coming on the road. ND lost to the #1 team at home, but also lost to a 5-6 team at home.

Oregon's only loss came to USC. Virgina Tech's only loss is to the #3 team.

You could possibly have a 2nd place 10-1 team (Oregon), but an ACC team with 1 loss may not even make the championship game (Va Tech), while the SEC Champ could have 2 losses as well. That's when it becomes a free for all.

 

Plus either West Virginia or South Florida will get one of the automatic bids, which really farks things up.

 

In summary, you could end up with at least:

 

USC

Texas

PSU

ACC Champ (1-loss)

SEC Champ (at least 1-loss)

Big East Champ

Oregon

ACC runner up (2-loss)

Va Tech (if they tie with Miami, they miss the conference title game against FSU)

SEC runner up (at least 2-loss....Bama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn?)

OSU (9-2)

ND (9-2)
