This is going to be epic

11/10/2012 7:05:11 PM

TAMU has always been a close cousin of NCSU

it's all happening

11/10/2012 7:05:44 PM

Wow

11/10/2012 7:07:52 PM

Damn, go Aggies

11/10/2012 7:08:07 PM

Wow. Ballhawk!

11/10/2012 7:08:18 PM

11/10/2012 7:09:33 PM

OMG!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! Giving games away

11/10/2012 7:14:16 PM

Bama = retarded

11/10/2012 7:14:32 PM

Good game, shame it ended on an acting job.

11/10/2012 7:14:35 PM

Alabama shit?

11/10/2012 7:14:36 PM

Total right call

11/10/2012 7:15:00 PM

Alolbama

11/10/2012 7:15:01 PM

i think western carolina may be better off forfeiting next week

11/10/2012 8:05:44 PM

11/10/2012 8:54:25 PM

ND getting clowned by BC, but BC is so bad they can't take advantage

11/10/2012 9:05:14 PM

amazing how many national writers are blaming this bama loss on being hungover from LSU. like it has nothing to do with their defense being exposed and the QB being average.

of course, these are the same writers who completely ignore Notre Dame stomping Oklahoma @ OK and instead are trying to use Pitt as the end-all barometer for the Irish

If Bama Wins out, they will go 11-1 with wins over

Western Kentucky
Western Carolina
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Mizzou
Auburn
Arkansas
FAU

They basically have a 3 game season, and will go 2-1 in them (Mississippi State is a mediocre team with an inflated ranking)

its all about an Oregon v K State title game

11/10/2012 10:27:53 PM

I bet KSU's gonna get left out. And Bama will make it back into the title game.

11/10/2012 10:30:27 PM

^^ so much for a tough SEC schedule

The schedule ND has had is ridiculous compared to that

11/10/2012 10:31:26 PM

unless Oregon and Kansas State both lose a game, Notre Dame is gonna get left out from not having a conference title game

and it will be their own dumb Irish faults for not accepting any of the multiple conference invites they've received over the last few years

11/10/2012 10:35:06 PM

Nigga please. If ND wins out it doesn't matter what anyone else does, they'll be in the title game. You know how long the college football world has been waiting for them to be relevant again?

11/10/2012 10:41:11 PM

you'd be right if we didn't have BCS rankings. Oregon and Kansas State will get an extra win over a ranked team in conference championship week when Notre Dame has a bye and loses even more BCS points.

but i still think Kiffin beats em, making it a moot point

11/10/2012 10:45:02 PM

I'm still gonna stick by it. Remember the BCS rankings are 2/3's human votes.

And I thought B12 only had 10 teams, therefore no championship game...

[Edited on November 10, 2012 at 10:48 PM. Reason : ...]

11/10/2012 10:46:55 PM

oh yeah they lost theirs and the Big 10 gained theirs last year

Pac 12 now has one

i wouldnt mind seeing Oregon hang 40 points on notre dame in the title game if kansas state lost to texas or something

11/10/2012 10:51:52 PM

after a rough start, only leading 14-10, Oregon comfortably up 45-17 early in the 4th

wonder if face thinks there a top-10 team yet

LO fucking L

the reason ND won't make it has nothing to do with championship games or strength of schedule. it only has to do with preseason polls.

nice post lax, no sarcasm... good analysis. where is that "gauntlet" that EVERY SEC team goes through. exactly

11/11/2012 9:31:47 AM

^ dont forget to add the 1 loss #4 georgia in the sec champ game...

BOTH? There are only three undefeated teams. Are you saying Georgia or Alabama will jump them? That is pretty much a statistical impossibility if ND wins out.

On an unrelated note it was embarrassing having McCarron in the Heisman Trophy hunt. Thank God that got weeded out. Alabama doesn't HAVE to have someone at the presentation, unless Saban changed the rules.

[Edited on November 11, 2012 at 10:55 AM. Reason : oh wait maybe Florida will. They are a dominant team.]

11/11/2012 10:55:11 AM

sorry, i kept thinking ND would never pass Oregon and Alabama, who would be playing in conference championship games

didn't expect Alabama to shut the bed so bad yesterday

11/11/2012 12:06:45 PM

Alabama bias in the latest AP poll. Only drop to #4? Florida and Georgia are pissed.

11/11/2012 1:08:36 PM

I think Manti Teo being in the heisman race is laughable.

11/11/2012 1:31:17 PM

But the commentators enjoy saying his name so much.

11/11/2012 1:38:12 PM

^^^Florida had to block a punt in the final seconds to beat UL-Laf and Georgia hasn't been on the same level as Alabama for the past 5 years. Perhaps some bias but Alabama has earned it.

11/11/2012 1:42:51 PM

AP poll aint shit anyhow, though I don't see the Coaches being any different with regards to 1-4, Bama is better than UGA and Florida

11/11/2012 1:56:14 PM

Based on what? Beating LSU?

11/11/2012 2:04:41 PM

eye test: Florida loses to Georgia and barely beats Bowling Green, Mizzou, and Lousianna LF; Georgia gets its shit pushed in by SC, barely beats Kentucky; Bama blows everyone out but LSU and aTm but beats LSU at LSU

11/11/2012 2:09:50 PM

alabama would not have lost to tamu if they didn't play lsu the week before but thats life and everyone has to deal with things like that. notre dames schedule is good at the bottom but bad at the top. usc michigan and michigan state were all expected to be top10-15 teams but fell way back. miami win looks like crap now as well.

this is bullshit. check his numbers. he had not thrown a pick before today and lead his team back to become the only person not named tebow to win a night game at baton rouge. theres a huge opinion shift that heisman has to go to a fast qb. (its a knee jerk reaction to the old way of it having to go to a white qb) its like reverse racism.

11/11/2012 2:36:12 PM

USA Today Poll
RK TEAM RECORD PTS
1 Oregon (44) 10-0 1460
2 Kansas State (14) 10-0 1427

10 Texas A&M 8-2 967

old man coaches are out of their minds, FSU number 6? REALLY?

11/11/2012 2:40:07 PM

It's going to be a real shame if the dumbass voters keep ND out of the title game even though they're clearly superior to Oregon by every objective measurement...

11/11/2012 9:21:19 PM

So NCSU is better than Florida AND LSU?!?!? SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11/11/2012 9:33:36 PM

ND has gotten lucky as hell many times thisbyear and is lucky as hell to still be undefeated

11/11/2012 9:35:45 PM

^^^ At best nd and Oregon are about 50/50 statistically.

11/11/2012 10:04:04 PM

or 100/0.

look at the computer rankings

11/11/2012 11:12:30 PM

So mr stats man isn't going to use stats to determine which team is superior, just the computer formulas? If there were no more games to be played but a nc game in a month, do you really think ND Nwould win against k state or Oregon? I think nd wins only 20% of the time.

11/11/2012 11:21:38 PM

yeah, "squeaking out wins against BYU, Purdue, and Pitt at home" for ND doesn't sound "objectively better" than "blowing out damned near every team they've faced" in the case of Oregon. And then let's not even talk about the refjob that was pulled on Stanford to give ND that win, too. ND has one quality win that's not tainted, and that was OU

11/12/2012 1:20:22 PM

they'll beat wake by a few touchdowns, then kiffin will wax that ass

11/12/2012 1:30:09 PM

oh good lord, people still argue with face?

11/12/2012 5:50:17 PM
