I'm really stoked for the Big Ten Championship game and Bedlam. So. Miss vs Houston intrigues me as well

[ElectricEye]

Diab, can we get a sticky on this and de-sticky on the other thread since we've officially turned the page?

It's all about that 3 o'clock game for me this week. RGIII has yet another chance to raise his stock with a big TV game. Should be exciting stuff.

Northern Illinois and Ohio trading turnovers early. LaVon Brazill has two big plays already and is a guy who has a chance to catch on an NFL roster. Interested to get a look at Harnish as well.

[ElectricEye]

Harnish looks terrible. Channeling his inner Mark Sanchez there. He's very lucky the defender didn't come up with that one.

I'm embarrassed that UCLA is in this championship game. They are bad and are playing with a coach who is already fired. I almost wish USC wasn't on probation because UCLA is about to lose by 40. It just looks bad for the Pac-12.

[ElectricEye]

It really sucks, yeah. Really speaks to how bad that South division is aside from USC. They should have an easy ride to this game every year unless some things change. Arizona State should feel bad too. They played in tons of tight games this year...and lost more of them than they should have. At least we've got Gus tonight. Should be tons of screaming with the open field UCLA will give up and Oregon's speed.

[ElectricEye]

Law of Gus?

[Brodeur]

Isn't Gus contracted with CBS Sports? I am confused.

No, he left for Fox for whatever reason.


Big play by Rosario. Shame he didn't have to work for it though, waned to get a look at him running.

[niel89]

Apparently UCLA didn't get the memo that they are going to get blown out...

[ElectricEye]

UCLA is doing an excellent job of tackling. I think we all know that Oregon is still winning by 20+ at the end, but they're playing really well. Well, except for that..

[SolidGold]

Harnish!!!

[ElectricEye]

Just coming back to that one now. So Harnish went into rape mode basically?

[MidwayMonster31]

For Harnish, I thought arm strength was average, his timing was good as he was hitting receivers in stride, accuracy is pretty good, he's done a good job reading defenses, but didn't do a good job on progressions in this one.
As for the Pac-12, few surprises so far, I didn't expect much from this one.

[yodapoop]

Gus Johnson has taken some of his special pills.

And yeah Ohio, just freeking choked on a big one. The interception on first and 10 with 8:30 or so to go up 13 was a bad call, shoulda ran it....

I never really got why he got so much love, but he is making this game a lot more exciting for me.

[ElectricEye]

The game was briefly interesting, at least. Still, heck of a way for the Pac 12 to kick off this entire conference championship deal.

[ElectricEye]

Neslon Rosario going WAY up there to make a one handed catch. Real good effort from him tonight, seems like someone I would want to at least take a look at in the later rounds or as a free agent.

[niel89]

That could have been a lot worse. UCLA actually seemed decent but its just hard to keep up with Oregon late in the game.

[yodapoop]

UCLA scoring 31 was very surprising from me. Played much better than I expected.

[SuperMcGee]

Completely missed the game, but I like Harnish and dislike the East rivals, so I'm pleased with that comeback.

[49erNation85]

So stoked for the SEC game later today missed the other games on Friday due to imy travels . Luckly I should be able to catch the game. Just will now have to watch all games online with no cable. I hope seriously UGA dogs can pull off a major upset and put this bcs polls into a **** storm! I think they have a real shot at doing so and have been playing very well this stretch . We will see. Just sad my Gators barely made a bowl game if they did not sure at 6-6 .

[ElectricEye]

Excited to get a look at Sammy Brown for the game at 12. Haven't really seen much of Houston this year, but he's stood out in a big way in years past and has really put up some numbers.

[SolidGold]

Will these championship games have any bearing on the final BCS standings? Forgive my ignorance

[BeerBaron]

Listening to Houston's coach with the visor and sunglasses makes me think he's secretly Tom Tom.
