NCAA Football, 2014-2015

Wow, they just collapsed this quarter.

[sbr]

What's wrong with them?

I've seen some terrible unis but I don't mind these.  Is it just the shade of green?

Fuck you, I hope your house collapses on your dumb ass.

The Ducks are kicking their heads in.

EDIT and another turnover.  Though I'm sure timmay thinks the Ducks had nothing to do with that one either:lol:

As a Pac-12 fan i'm loving this, but as Husky fan tough to root for Quackers.

Don't be a douchebag.  He launched into someone who wasn't looking.  A kicker, no less.  Talk about a punk move.  Not even Lavar Arrington did that to opposing punters.  Why not start launching into puppies.

Whatever. Kickers make tackles all the time. I just saw "Baylor kicker" as the #2 trending topic on twitter and some guy for fox wrote an article saying it was the hit of the year, and maybe 2 years (2014 and 2015).

I don't know what has happened to a lot of you people (cdm, sbr, berkut). Boxing was popular in this country when guys actually got knocked out. Mike Tyson fights against hopeless opponents were major events. Now I've seen several fights stopped before a guy even gets knocked down. People used to set out to knock people out of the game in football. A QB or kicker having to eat out of a straw is unlikley to beat you in the fourth quarter. We should pretend Ronnie Lott never existed I guess.

Stick a fork in em.

I like a lot of the Ducks' alternate unis, but I think the green pants are too much.  Hell, even yellow would've been better.  This just looks like martini olives suited up.  Yikes.  Makes Dan Fouts' eyes water.

I just saw an article that the TPD is reopening its case against Winston as they have located new evidence.

There's going for the quality, meaty hit and then there's actively trying to send a 5'9" toothpick who isn't even going to catch the guy to the hospital. 

And Ronnie Lott would never have gone after the fucking kicker, you tool.  He would have considered it dishonorable.

You know that FSU scout team qb that is faster than Mariota?  Should have played him on defense.

I bet the committee feels pretty stupid moving FSU ahead of TCU in the last rankings.

It was clear FSU was not a top 4 team this year, made it based on last year which is unfortunate.

Arizona is a better team than fsu and Arizona lost to Boise state.

They did go undefeated this year. 

It seems fairly clear they should have made it. They are an undefeated power 5 conference champ that played an OOC schedule including Oklahoma State and Florida (admittedly not world beaters).

Ohio State played a weak schedule and lost a game. Why would you leave out FSU and put them in?

[sbr]

As an Oregon fan I would rather play fsu in semis rather than Alabama

If you look at some of the advanced statistical approaches to ranking teams (looking at play and drive outcomes in addition to raw scores), FSU is not highly rated. Their F/+ rating heading into last week's game was #9. Alabama was #1.

Thank god statistical models don't play the game
