College Football Talk

[IowaSacKing93]

I don't think we have a thread devoted to CFB yet, so I'll start one as the BCS talk starts to heat up.

The big matchup everyone is looking to is next Saturday night when #1 LSU faces #2 Alabama.

Tonight: #17 Houston is beating Rice 73-34! Case Keenum has thrown for 534 yards and 9 TD's. He's out of the game now though :(

IowaSacKing93 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?9-IowaSacKing93), no one wants to talk about the boring, "never go for it on a fourth down" Iowa Hawkeyes.

Everyone wants to talk about the Stanford-USC game from this past weekend.

Damon Bruce says Navy uses the spread more often than most teams. Is this true?

[PackfanMatt_12]

I loved the USC-Stanford game. Great college football, and Andrew Luck proved he is worth ALL the hype

Navy runs the triple option i thought?

[nuraman00]

Navy runs the triple option i thought?

According to the internet, they do:

(Flexbone Option)

I guess Iowans are smarter than Hoosier fans (Damon Bruce). He also laments Indiana's poor football team.

I think an Iowan poster should have his own radio show, and talk accurate college football. I know one poster who agrees with me.

They've been talking about it all this week now.

[nuraman00]

DUDE! Iowa is up 17-6 on Michigan! I guess they're not so boring after all.

[nuraman00]

Iowa with a goal line stand.

Michigan sits down.

[nuraman00]

#1 LSU faces #2 Alabama.



Score predictions anyone?

[IowaSacKing93]

Good finish from Iowa City.

Stanford plays Oregon State next. Considering OSU lost to Sacramento State, this could get ugly.

Will it be as ugly as Stanford - San Jose State? Predictions?

[nuraman00]

Stanford plays Oregon State next..

Stanford fans, is there going to be a game thread with Oregon fan sf giants r the best (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?50-sf-giants-r-the-best) also joining in? If so, could be the best game thread of these reformatted boards so far.

[nuraman00]

Can someone who follows college football write a preview? I want something good to read.

LOL! IowaSacKing93 (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?9-IowaSacKing93) chided me for making the same slip-up last week! I knew better, it was just a brain cramp by me.

So sf giants r the best (http://kingsforum.net/live/member.php?50-sf-giants-r-the-best), are you going to post in a game thread about it?

[nuraman00]

The key game this week will be UC Davis - Sac State.

Last year, The Big Game = The Big Lame (as dubbed by dutch_litchford). I expect the same this year. So I'm not even going to bother with it.

Last year, Sac State vs UC Davis was a 17-16 win for UC Davis. UC Davis doesn't look as good this year. Wow, Sac State has only played four home games so far this year.

I think they'll win 42-32.

[IowaSacKing93]

Iowa state upsets the #2 team in the country. Wow.

AMES!

So if Alabama, Oregon, Arkansas, Clemson, and Stanford win this weekend, we could have seven 10-1 teams this week (add in Oklahoma State, and Virginia Tech, who have already played)?

Why does Oklahoma have one less game played? They are currently 8-1 before their game this weekend.

Same with Boise State, they have one less game played too. They are 8-1 before their game this weekend.

Can someone update this thread with the results of Alabama, Oregon, Arkansas, Clemson, and Stanford this weekend? So I can see if we end up with seven 10-1 teams.

So far (* means they haven't played yet):

LSU 10-0 *
Oklahoma State 10-1
Virginia Tech 10-1
Alabama 9-1*
Oregon 9-1*
Arkansas 9-1*
Clemson 9-1*
Stanford 9-1*
Oklahoma 8-1*
Boise State 8-1*

UC Davis 23
Sac State 19

Nice, this was a close game too, just like last year.

[nuraman00]

When do they announce which teams are playing in which bowl games?

[Cowpuncher14]

I'm happy now that Urban Meyer has come home to Ohio State. I can't wait till next year but unfortunately I don't have a choice. Its already started with Brady Hoke at Michigan calling us Ohio and not Ohio State. We really don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan.

I dount it happens but I'd love for the Buckeyes to play in the Insight.com bowl. If it hapens I think they could be playing Texas. Good matchup for one of the lower bowls.

[IowaSacKing93]

The first bowl game is December 16, but the last reg. season game is Dec. 10th I think (Navy/Army??) so I'm sure it's between those two dates. Or, after this week (since neither Navy nor Army are bowl eligible, they can't screw anything up).

Yeah, Urban Meyer is relatively young, so I knew he'd come back to college football. And he's come back to a good school. I like Braxton Miller too. Maybe the next Troy Smith or Pryor? Your thoughts on that Cowpuncher?

[Cowpuncher14]

I honestly don't know what to expect from him. Hes looked good at times and hes also looked bad. I need to see him play under Urban Meyer.
