NCAA Football '12-13

[sbr]

Oh and Rich Rod turned out to be an even bigger scumbag than I thought.

He's lucky his QB wasn't literally killed on the field.

  How many other people have died on field from a concussion?

I don't think  team that won a game 70-14 has had a worse day than Oregon had yesterday.

The won which was nice, and Florida lost which helped but Florida or Alabama was going to lose a game any way so I wasn't worried about them.

Notre Dame and Kansas State both won again; Stanford barely beat Wazzu and USC and Oregon State lost making it more unlikely that Oregon's strength of schedule will improve enough to pass KSU or ND if multiple teams go undefeated.  Until yesterday I was confident that the Ducks would play for the NC if they went without a loss, now I think ND for sure (and possibly KSU, but much more unlikely) would stay ahead of the Ducks if they all win out.

Never discount the ability of God to abandon His team when they're playing Pitt and Boston College.  I honestly don't see them going undefeated.

[Ed Anger]

Plus, never discount timmay taint on the Irish.

[CountDeMoney]

Yes, South Korea is never far enough away from South Bend.

The author of that piece actually posted on the Arizona boards.

Seems like a decent guy, but like all journalists, cares more about getting his story out in as sensational a manner as possible rather than actually finding out what really happened.

The Ducks have to start hoping that Arizona wins out, which would help their SOS a little bit anyway.

It seems odd that two teams in the same conference can have such wildly divergent SOS. According to Sagarin, Arizona has the #2 SOS in the country, while Oregon is somewhere in the 100s.

Ok then, enlighten us with what really happened then.

Arizona gets to play Oregon, while Oregon has to play Arizona.

If I told you what happened, knowing no more than the author of that hatchet job, I would be making the same mistake he is - I don't know what happened.

All I know is that Scott got hit, threw up, Arizona called time out, they went to commercial, and Scott was still playing when they came back.

He finished the series, then they pulled him for the last series.

That is the sum of the information the author knew when he wrote his bullshit article.

Since then, we've learned that Scott said he threw up because he was exhausted. Rodriguez said the was evaluated during the timeout (said timeout being taken for the purposes of making sure he was ok or not) and then pulled in favor of his backup when they decided the last series was going to be 100% Kadeem Carey running the clock out anyway, since Scott was apparently wiped out.

Scott practiced yesterday night as normal.

Are you really this stupid?

[Eddie Teach]

He brings up a valid point. It's like Oregon has only 8 conference games.

[sbr]

Oregon's OOC schedule was atrocious.  At one point early on the year their SOS was about 150.  There are 119 division 1 schools.

Alright Seedy, I've had this circled on my calendar:  today is the day we start trash-talking.

Your 4-4 Towson Tigers vs. my beloved 5-3 Blue Hens.  Saturday.  Noon.  Delaware Stadium.  Televised live & in color on NBC Sports.

A lot at stake in this one-- a potential tie for 5th place in the CAA.  My team will dominate in total Blue Hen fashion

[CountDeMoney]

The home field edge goes to the Hens, and Towson's imitation of Masada at LSU notwithstanding, their road record is atrocious, but they're riding high on a 1 game win streak against the Augustinians at Villanove.

But, as Towson has the superior coed ass population, the womenfolk will encourage the Tigers to victory with promises of Absolut Citron-fueled blowjobs, and win by 10 points on the road.
