college football thread

jesus mich st u idiots

even the fired coach of minnesota can tell us thats a bad play

that was such a horseshit call

LSU and Bama are #1 and #2 in both AP and Coaches polls. Harris is stalling on releasing the results until after the BCS announcments tonight, but Jerry Palm is saying the rematch is a go: http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2011/12/4/2610898/sources-tell-me-its-official-lsu-alabama-the-sequel#comments

okie st was reeeeally close in the coaches poll, i'm betting they're further off in the harris poll

harris poll should be fucking abolished

AP did the right thing by disassociating themselves from the BCS.

They should incorporate the ILXOR poll.

LSU vs. "When the Levee Breaks"

Irritated that Boise got snubbed.

Boise St. is too uppity.

is rg3 really gonna get it?

http://www.stiffarmtrophy.com/

from those early voting trends it doesn't even look like it'll be close

god i hope so

rg3's stats are kinda undeniable but I was under the impression that the media was still <3 luck enough for it to be a pretty close race

first place votes for Mathieu smh

The Big East is set to add Boise State, San Diego State, SMU, UCF and Houston as it begins to rebuild its league, with an announcement expected as early as Wednesday, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.

Boise State and San Diego State of the Mountain West will enter the league as football-only members, while Houston, SMU and UCF, all of Conference USA, will join the Big East for all sports, sources told ESPN.com.

hopefully they rename the conference

The Big Shrug

SDSU is a real headscratcher.

haha I saw that sdsu thing on fb and I thought someone was joking

they've good recently... but yeah. i think it's just something about getting to 16 teams. everyone is on the edge of their seats for that uconn-sdsu game

SDSU has pursued big time colege football with about as much zeal as Boise State, or as Gonzaga in b-ball, but they haven't been able to make the jump up the way BSU has.

lol @ RG3's Superman socks (with the cape)

RG3 I <3 u

"This is unbelievably believable," he said. "It's unbelievable because in the moment we're all amazed when great things happen. But it's believable because great things don't happen without hard work."

wtfh? Craig James is running for a Senate seat?!!

also, someone find out if tomorrow boise is the earliest as highly a ranked team has ever played in bowl season pls...it kinda has to be right?

just assume you're right and let go of it. Boise State should humiliate Arizona State just to vent their grievance.

oh i dont actually care that much tbh beyond preferring to watch boise play a competative opponent rather than asu

A playoff system would eliminate 98% of the injustices of the bowl system - leaving only bad officiating in the mix. What we have today is just a steaming heap of collusion and greed.

there was a nice thing mentioned during last nights bowl that some of the la tech players gave away all their bowl game swag -- like $300 gift cards & watches & w/e else -- to some kids associated w/ the bowl's charity cause

I missed the first 13 seconds of the Boise State v. Arizona State game. Therefore I also missed the first BSU touchdown.

western mich/purdue is a hilarious game

jordan white is a baller

It seems very strange to me to have most of the New Year's Day Big Name Bowl Games played on Monday, Jan. 2 this year, so as to avoid being devoured by the NFL monster. wtf.

feel like the 4th q of the BELK BOWL is shapin up 2 b hot

louisville just got a lucky as hell tho v skillful also td & now an onsides kick

teddy bridgewater is a p scrappy dude -- true freshman too
l'ville oline is utter crap

lol @ air force -- attempted fake extra pt option play down 42-41 & the holder fumbled out of bounds, he p clearly could have pitched to an open dude

I dropped in on the Cal v. Texas game and to my delight Texas looks awful. Take that, you orange arseholes!

otm

cal's offense also awful tho

As an Oregonian, I wouldn't want Cal to be too excellent. Just good enough to stomp the Longhorns so their eyebrows end up at turf level.

nobody needs an excuse for hating the longhorns

ugh

id rather watch 1000 toledo vs air force or fl itn'l vs marshalls b4 i watched this cal team vs this texas team

Maynard makes me nostalgic for the Kevin Riley era.

ha

I dunno at least he fails in more interesting and less tragic ways
