OT: NCAA Football - 10/18

Games of note: (My picks in bold)

Texas vs Mizzou
Tech vs aTm
Alabama vs Ole Miss
Ohio St vs Michigan
OU vs Kansas
LSU vs South Carolina
Georgia vs Vandy
Houston vs SMU

it should be an intersting week. heres hoping texas can pull it off/bring it

texas and alabama have some tough skeds the rest of the way...i doubt that both of them make it undefeated the rest of the way

also, houston nutt is a damn good coach. 5x has overcome being a double digit underdog on the road (vs top 10 teams i think?) over the last 10 years. im interested to see what happens. that said i dont think that they can beat alabama, though it will probably be close. i dont think nick saban loses after having 2 weeks off + having the #2 run defense in college football.

desmond howard's top 5 for heisman

1) percy harvin – 117.2 ypg/7 td
2) tim tebow – 13 td, 235 ypg
3) jeremy maclin – 15.4 ypc
4) sam bradford – 3 games w/ 5 td passes
5) colt mccoy – 21 td, 317 ypg

i agree w/ tebow/bradford/mccoy – but percy effing harvin? jeremy maclin? theres no better guys out there?

chase daniel?
the RB from michigan st?

i think that if OU runs the table it could potentially be bradford. the kid is for real and he has the weapons

tim tebow interview:
said he would vote for chase daniels for heisman “because of how much of a leader he is for that team”

GO MIZZOU!

Nolan Ryan should be the Rangers president, GM, manager and pitching coach.

Those are ridiculous

Florida’s offense was a mess for a good part of the season, yet they have the top two heisman candidates. Ok.

sec east vs big XII south

heibstreit - said that he thought the big XII south was better than teh SEC east -“i dont think we have ever see, top to bottom” a better group of qb in college football

corso: big XII south – 4 teams in the top 10, best QB we have “ever seen in one division” – teams avg 24 pts/game

Nah

I am realistic about where KU is. Overrated as of now.

But if we do get a chance to beat Texas, im sure a phantom offensive pass interference call will come in and bail you out again, right?

Recruits

I just don’t see how he can go into someones living room and close out the deal. He’s going to need a large couch. I can only imagine he might have large man breathing syndrome which might also make things a little awkward. How does any 17 or 18 year old kid not see him as a walking punchline?

lol

its 60 min of football
the game isnt over until 00:00

why should one team stop playing?
wasnt aTm trying to score in the 4th q?

leach’s philosophy: try to score on every play. be it the first or the last of the game

…whats wrong with that?

A&M doesn't need to be

in a position to worry about whether any other team is running up the score. That’s a bigger issue than whether it’s right for Leach to do it. Though I thought that A&M didn’t look too bad, compared with some earlier games.

does John Parker Wilson get Heisman mention? I think so, he’s solid.

as a lifelong bama fan...

JPW is nice but terribly inconsistent. He always make a couple of good throws and a couple that make you scratch your head. I think bama could win the NC and Wilson wouldn’t be close to a finalist.

Texas/Mizzou is not the game of the night...

Division II/the Lone Star Conference has ACU (ranked #3) playing at WTAM (ranked #4) in a matchup of offenses averaging 50+ points a game. Had to give the alma mater some love. Back to your regularly scheduled college football discussions.
