NCAA football, 2013-14

This happened on Saturday:



UCF WR JJ Worton.  Helluva catch. The Knights were down by 7 with about 1:00 left in the game.

1-3 is 60% likely, the only gimme is Wazzu.

And I was even wrong about this! Sorry berkie.

After some time to reflect, I've realized that this isn't as bad a setback as I thought, and there is really still a lot of hope left this year and season.

Have you seen how Aaron Gordon is playing? And with McConnell being the true PG this team has needed desperately, I think the Cats could really go far this year, even after that disaster against WSU.

So, if either Alabama or Florida st. loses a game and both Ohio St. and Baylor win out, which team do you guys think should be in the championship game?

Alabama.

Alabama. 

Touché

EDIT: Ok, let me put it this way. If you had to choose between Baylor or Ohio st. making it into the championship game (imagine your own scenario) which would you choose?

[Eddie Teach]

I suspect Ohio St. is the better team, but I also hate them, so voting for Baylor.

Though actually, if Alabama did lose a game it would probably be to Auburn or Missouri and would cost them the SEC title. As both of those teams have only one loss, it would be hard to justify putting Alabama up instead of them.

I sort of want to see what Baylor does against Oklahoma State first.

If both win out Baylor will have played the better schedule so I pick them.

And they've done it outscoring opponents by over 40 points a game. I withdraw my earlier reservations- Baylor over Ohio St.

Baylor.

[CountDeMoney]

Ugh, and Alabama/Ohio State national championship would be like watching two Bond villains go at it.

[Eddie Teach]

That would be pretty cool, especially if it was Jaws vs. Oddjob.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Well, one thing I gotta give Mack credit for is how good he is with the PR part of the job, even now.  They were just showing something on the LHN where this kid shows up in Mack's office, and he ends up getting pictures wearing the golden hat and a new Horns jersey, feet up on Mack's desk, flashing the hook em horns.  Also got to get a shot holding Ricky Williams Heisman.  Things like that. 

E:  Well I don't know whos Heisman it was.  Maybe Earl Campbells.  Either way.  Photo with a Heisman trophy.  Cool.

You make that sound like a good thing.

This year is the 30th anniversary of quite possiby the worst college football game ever played; the 1983 Oregon/Oregon State Civil War.

In a freezing near monsoon there were 5 interceptions, 11 fumbles (6 recovered by defense), 4 missed field goals, 2 Oregon TDs called back on penalties, and enough boneheaed plays to make it the last 0-0 tie in NCAA 1-A football.
