College Gameday Thread: Week 8

[DcmRulz]

Kicking fail. that's a killer.

[jayceheathman]

Taveon Rogers is a beast.

[DcmRulz]

Upset complete. Texas Tech has won! Down goes Oklahoma, and 2 undefeateds fall. the BCS committee must be pleased with these results.

[yodapoop]

Small game Bob and Small game Bret. I mean it always seems like its the Texas Techs of the world that OU loses to. And then Wisconsin, they don't play anybody in the non-conference. They win by 50 and at home so the first tough close road game, BOOP!

[fenikz]

my personal top 10

1. Alabama 8-0(5-0)
2. LSU 8-0(5-0)
3. Stanford 7-0(5-0)
4. Clemson 8-0(5-0)
5. Oklahoma State 7-0(4-0)
6. Boise State 7-0(2-0)
7. Oregon 6-1(4-0)
8. Oklahoma 6-1(3-1)
9. Wisconsin 6-1(2-1)
10. Arkansas 6-1(2-1)

[BeerBaron]

Oklahoma shouldn't be in your top 10. **** Oklahoma. Every year, they get talked up as some beast of a team but they play ****** defense and choke choke choke.

I'm pleased with this result.

[niel89]

Stanfords OL gives me such a big clue. On a bunch of plays they just came out with 2 extra tackles, a FB flanking, and a FB and RB. Absolutely no threat of passing the ball, and still they were getting yards after yards.

We didn't need Luck to do anything really today, just pick up a couple 3rd downs at times. 446 rushing yards is monstrous.

Crist's fumble at the goal line was the back breaker. Ill take wins over those little irish people any day.

OU doesnt deserve to be in the top 10.

[Smooth Criminal]

Nice to see OSU still controls their own path to the conference title game. And no, I don't care how unlikely it is they beat Wisconsin.

Edit, forgot Penn State is still 4-0 in the Big Ten.

Can't believe Oklahoma losing last night, Wisconsin too. It's great to see that the Huskies are/were ranked for the first tiem in ages too but they're still a ways away from maintaining a spot in the top 25, but as long as Price is there they'll continue to improve.

Chris Polk's two runs last night were awesome.

[Babylon]

Has to be the winner of LSU vs Alabama against Stanford for all the marbles, assuming the Cardinal beat the Ducks.

Watching Andrew Luck and that offensive line (Martin and DeCastro) is probably the most enjoyment i get on any given saturday. Unfortunately the latest beatdown came at the hands of the local UW team.

[bearsfan_51]

The Big 12 is clearly stronger than the Pac 12 this year; if Oklahoma State can win out, they get the nod over Stanford.

I'm not sold on the Big 12 and definitely dont buy into the stats they put up there, i'll take the Pac-12 with 5 teams with 5 wins or more.

Regardless of what conferance we like i think Stanford, with the best player in the country, is a better and more attractive draw than OSU.

That has nothing to do with the BCS formula. The computers and the polls both agree that the Big 12 is stronger this year. Now that Oklahoma and Wisconsin have dropped, Oklahoma State is in control of their own fate.

[SickwithIt1010]

Big 12 isnt stronger than the Pac 12. Thats nonsense.

The Big 12 is the most overrated conference year in and year out. A bunch of high powered offenses who have no desire whatsoever of playing an ounce of defense.

You also jus described the pac12. No defense whatsoever.

It most definitely is stronger. The computers say it is, the polls say it is. You can call that ridiculous, since you live on the west coast, but the only two things that matter disagree with you.

The Pac12 is weighed down big time by all of the awful teams in their conference. Five teams out of 12 that are just dogshit this year. The Big 12 has Kansas and Iowa State, 2 out of 10. 6 of the 7 games Stanford has played so far have been total gimmies. What's their most impressive win? Washington? Ooooh.....

I would say that there are far more than just Kansas and ISU that can be considered dogshit. So many of those teams get a pass because their name has some meaning behind it. Texas is not a good football team this year, A&M has been getting their dick sucked and they havent impressed me this year. Its amazing what your name does for you anymore in college football

The Big 12 is a joke. They are hyped up every year and when it comes to the big games they choke. They score a **** ton of points on each other in the regular season scoring on these flash points and they go to a bowl game and they flat out suck.

You forgot Minnesota.

Texas would crush UCLA, Arizona, Washington State, Oregon State, Colorado, or Utah. All of those teams range from really bad to absolutely terrible.

I don't think anyone could argue in favor of Colorado. They were in the Big 12 last year and were a doormat despite playing only one strong team from the B12 South.

[bearsfan_51]

Oh, forgot the BCS projections:

Championship Game: Alabama vs. Oklahoma State
Rose Bowl: Michigan State vs. Stanford
Sugar Bowl: LSU vs. Wisconsin
Fiesta Bowl: Boise State vs. Kansas State
Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. Cincinnati (good lord the Big East sucks)

These are awful matchups.

[Giantsfan1080]

No Oregon?
