So which conference has the more ridiculous situation now, Pac-12 or B1G?

If Arkansas manages to lose this game, I am going to be sick. They dropped two easy touchdowns that half, and one was followed immediately by a pick six, so that's potential 21 points they left on the field.

God lord, it doesn't.

Hey, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Just ask Les Miles.

That is way too clever for what it is.

Personally, I'm in favor of this scheme.

I think we have a record for the worst no-call in history.

Copied and pasted from their site. So, as sure as I am about the other ones. Those are from last week.

I was about to post about Tyler Wilson completing 18 straight, but the board had a server error, and then he threw three straight incompletions. Thanks, NSBB.

These polls are a mess.

i dont understand how the hell LSU is ranked above Bama, to be honest. I'd be fine with the two of them being at the top and OU being No. 3. This was my feeling initially, as well, but I guess LSU has the more impressive resume at this point (most impressive in the nation, actually), so I couldn't really argue with their placement, even if I think Alabama would win head to head.

Trent Richardson is a bowling ball in human form.

speaking of college football and twitter, checkout the hashtag #notoriousTOB, in wich NC State fans alter Biggie lyrics to relate to their "beloved" head coach. I could not care less about NC State, but I still find it hilarious. Examples: @celebrityhottub "It was all a dream/ Running on 3rd and 17/ Telling Russell Wilson to throw another bubble screen" #notoriousTOB @Joey_Powell "What's beef? Beef is when you need four plays for thirty feet/Beef is when you drop games at Wake every week." #notoriousTOB

ROFL...I'd really like to see this. Fun fact: Pulaski Academy is an 5 minute drive from my house. Okay, so it wasn't all that fun. But yeah, this coach is definitely has a unique outlook on football. I definitely think there's merit to his position on punting at the high school level, but as the average talent and execution level increases, I feel it would become less effective. From what I remember from what the statistics say, in college and the pros that you should almost never punt on 4th and short (3 or less) from anywhere on the field, although I've only seen a few coaches ever do it deep in their own territory (Bill Belichick being the most famous one). As you start to cross midfield the amount of yardage starts to go way up from when you shouldn't punt, and you should almost never punt from any down and distance inside the opponent's 40. Of course the rules are predicated on average offenses-the better either your offense is or your opponent's offense is the more often you should go for it, and the worse either one is the more often you should punt. I think the quality and accuracy of the punter could also play into the equation a bit as well. I'd like to see the stats on how effective the opponent is at scoring when, say, pinned inside the 10 vs starting from close to midfield. I definitely agree with the sentiment that football teams tend to do things because of conventional wisdom and not through analysis of the specific situation, though it's nowhere near as bad as baseball in that regard.

Four 400-yard passers is pretty absurd. 16 300 yard passers is...I don't even know what that is.

He actually did that far less last season, but yeah, he's still Incognito.

Of course the part of the game I was most worried about (run game/interior line) is playing well and the part I was least worried about (defensive front 7) is getting manhandled.

It's so entertaining not watching the game and trying to figure out what's going on by the posts in this thread. I'm gonna have to watch the highlights, because I have no idea right now.

I can't remember another below average quarterback being so celebrated in the media.

:lol:

By just chucking the ball up and hoping your receivers catch the ball. That's basically what he did all night. That, and ND's safeties are embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for them.

I was busy and missed the game, but Denard Robinson's stats make absolutely no sense. 11-24 for 338 yards and 4 touchdowns? Huh? What kind of stats are those? How does anybody average 30 yards and over 1/3 touchdown per completion?

Arkansas just returned its third punt for a touchdown in less than five quarters.
