NCAA Football 2015

Michigan houses the opening kickoff against Northwestern.  That might be all the scoring in the game, what with the two top scoring defenses in the country playing.

Yep.  NW goes three and out (zero yards gained) in their first drive.

Who'd have thought pre-season that this would be a marquee game?

[MadImmortalMan]

Except only one of those marquee defenses has showed up today so far.

Not quite Gameday



Longhorns! We are pleased with you. On the day of the Red River Shootout, you lived up to all of our expectations of your bravery and boldness; you have decked Bevo with a glory that shall never die. In less than four hours, a top 10 Sooner team, commanded by the Brothers of Stoops, has either been cut to pieces or dispersed. All UT fans will welcome you back with delight, and all you will have to say is "I was at the 2015 Red River Shootout", for them to reply, "There goes a brave man".

I loled

Napoleon sent his secret reserve up the middle. Strong sent D'onta Foreman up the middle. It is basically the same.

[Valmy]

Wow Michigan is back.

Look out Michigan State and Ohio State.

Will little brother be put back in his place next week? I look forward to seeing it. Sorry Charliebear.

Some coaches are worth $5 million a year.  Harbaugh has already been responsible for more than $5 million in increased season ticket sales.

And Sparty has been shitting themselves for a week now since Michigan shifted to the favorite's position.  DSRESPKT

I just cannot get over 14 points in five games. I did not think such a thing was possible in modern football. That is 1940s stuff.

Part of it is talent, but a big part of it is that this is the best coaching staff in college football.  Maybe in all of football.  Harbaugh knows how to hire coaches, and coaches love to coach with him.  He has former NFL defensive coordinators serving as position coaches.

If you value your eyes you will not watch Wyoming play tonight.  The Pokes are three TD dogs at Air Force tonight...I sniff 0-6 in the air.

Geez, it is tough this season...

[katmai]

Hmmmm Do i get tickets to Arizona vs UW or Utah vs UW?

If Utah beats Cal, the Utah tickets are gonna be the ones you want.

Probably  game I'll get tickets, as very well may be in Vancouver the day of the 'Zona game.

[grumbler]

So, Gameday will be in Ann Arbor for the MSU game next week.  But, if things go as expected, won't they really want to be there for the OSU game Nov 28?  Does Gameday ever repeat at a location in a season?  Or, are they just taking the bird in hand?

[grumbler]

Oh, and Valmy, you will be pleased to see that CFN now ranks Texas #20 in their "resume-only" rankings.

Michigan, Duke, and Boston College are all averaging less than 10 points allow per game, which is pretty amazing--as you say, 1940s stuff.  BC only has a 3-3 record to show for it, but when you lose 9-7 and 3-0, well, obviously it doesn't take many points to beat you, and playing 2 FCS opponents will help keep your PA low, too.

Michigan State looks to be the most overrated team in the country right now. They have had a number of close games, and their early ranking was based on beating Oregon at home in a rather exciting game. But in hindsight that Oregon win doesn't look so impressive, but even so that is probably the most quality win they have had.

PS: fire fat albert.
