2015-16 ncaa

i dont have anything to say abt this topic at the moment

osu has a good team and a lot of easy games is my understanding

I don't know diddly shit about how Alabama looks this year. Guess I'll find out Saturday night against Wisconsin.

my playoffs pick:

ohio state
auburn
baylor
ucla

(which was my opinion before today's games :D)

WTH is up with ESPN spending significant amounts of time on both Gameday and Final talking about spreads and covering the over/under on individual games now? STFU with all that gambler bullshit.

Also, Final is even more terrible than I imagined it would be with Davis, May and Holtz gone.

I think if USC doesn't make it into the playoff four sark will literally be sacrificed on a satanic altar by that school's boosters bc they are not used to this type of (relative/by their standards) irrelevance

also he really needs to do more booze-and-pills-fueled speeches that shit was classic

The talent on this Buckeyes team is unreal.

o rly

Then the talent on Virginia Tech's team must be quite real.

the braxton miller wr era is gonna be so tight, damn

cardale is still incred

basically a legend at this point

Don't think I've seen a spin move work for 5 years

otm http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2015/9/8/9249681/broke

Terrelle Pryor, we hardly knew ye. Can't make the club in the tub.

Oops wrong thread.

lose two starters before the year. lose RB1 week 1. lose QB1 week 2. yeesh.

That sucks. As you know, I'm sometimes antagonistic towards ND, but I was really looking forward to watching Malik Zaire play this year. ;_;

Man, Mississippi State almost pulled that shit off.

Auburn is garbage.

another game. another likely season ending injury to a starter.

holy shit that ole miss td

like 8 insane things happen on that play

the texas missed extra point was one of the saddest things i've ever seen, i've never heard announcers talk like that

bama down 20 @ home lol

hueg td by miss

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPUdbsVW8AAXQ2m.jpg

man this feels like the worst bama team in a while. aside from henry the offense has no playmakers and outside of the line the defense seems very average.

this 2nd half has been bonkers

the bama cb thing is crazy

coker got drillled lol @ ole miss fan w/ cut throat motion pls gif

such a weird mix of very good plays and utter disasters from coker tonight

his receivers letting him down now

Bama offense has no leadership anywhere. And the QB corps is the weakest since before Brodie Croyle 13 years ago. Ole Miss is for real, and Bama deserved this loss.

I thought one of the selling points of Lane Kiffin was that he's a hell of a recruiter. I've seen no evidence of that with these freshmen and sophomores.

i dunno, robert foster and calvin ridley were both like upper 5 star recruits, cam sims & daylon charlot were high 4 star guys. i don't think it's a talent problem they just don't have any experience. they leaned so insanely heavily on amari last season that the passing offense looks lost without him. i'm sure by the end of the season it will look better but it's not a shock that w/ the qb situation the way it is the passing offense would look kinda wack w/ all this inexperience.

foster somehow tore his rotator cuff

Bret Bielema fires back at Kliff Kingsbury

oh shit jimmy bob and bobby jim are fixin to slapfight

lol @ texas

both butch jones and jim mcelwain should have to resign after the coaching at the end of that game

I've pointed out my alma mater Indiana's ineffectiveness in football before, but I figure I should post for now while they are undefeated at 4-0. They haven't really beat any really good teams, but none of them are total cupcakes and hey when you are IU and it is football, you got to take your wins when you get them. Now they are setup to get blown out by OSU 49-13 at home next week. That said, I will point out when I went to IU they were actually kinda decent in football with Bill Mallory as the coach and had players like "AT" Anthony Thompson and later a QB named Trent Green. That is sadly kinda the salad years of IU football. But hey as the T-shirts say "IU FOOTBALL: NEVER LOST A PARTY".

My current 'local' college team is doing pretty good too with UK getting a win going to 3-1 and now having 2 wins in the SEC over South Carolina and Missouri. They got some decent talent, especially at linebackers and DBs. QB isn't bad too but their receivers have stone hands.

After being thrashed by Utah, it looks like Oregon has fallen off the mountaintop this season and they'll be pretty ordinary.

oregons pass dfense is a nightmare and with how awful their qb play was vs utah, they just got dominated by the utah dline in that game; there was also some extremely odd plays, like utah pulled off the misdirection punt return that st louis (?) did in the nfl last season

that said, oregon being only slightly over a td fav @ colorado this week seems like literally free money

No, I think Colorado's gonna cover 7.5.

wow it even moved to -6.5

came here to lol @ uga tho

ducks quack buffs extinct but well c

msu nearly losing to purdue shd count as like 3 losses

has there been an explanation for why mich st is ranked #2

the big ten is so uniquely horrifying

espn might get a clue about how the ole' frat house sock-on-the-doorknob moment is no longer cute

dear god georgia

can't believe people got tricked into thinking lambert was any good because he completed a bunch of short passes vs the two worst teams in the SEC

i also think ppl deluded themselves into thinking bama was like "bad"; olemiss qb/wr's made some real dope plays not sure who else is doing that on this d

bama definitely didn't look bad in that loss to ole miss

I believe in a hoosier upset

i think it was fair to question whether the qb and wr talent had dropped off to a degree that they would fall outside the national title conversation but everything looks a-ok today

Diamont determined to never take a hit

cmon IU

Hilarious spot

tight end has to catch that omg

Does iu have a player named 'Fucks'?

that throw was really p sick

no fuchs given

Please score

Yeesh

Two passes that should have been caught

looks like vonn bell did tip that pass 2 fuchs, props

IU gave it a hell of a try and Ohio St. played pretty stupid at times, but alas not enough.

Kelly has a way of always making the wrong call on an early 2 point conversion.

On the other hand, we only had to be 1 for 2 on them to get to overtime.

that said, oregon being only slightly over a td fav @ colorado this week seems like literally free money

I was wrong. You were right.

Stanford v. Michigan in the Rose Bowl?

nick chubb :(

Oops!

I feel bad for Steve Sarkisian and hope he turns it around. this list and the accompanying blurbs, however, are mostly hilarious.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/pac12/2015/10/12/ten-candidates-replace-steve-sarkisian-usc-chip-kelly-brian-kelly-jeff-fisher/73838698/

Spurrier steps down mid-season. Media celebrates his decision, doesn't call him a quitter. Weird.

wait - so he's coached his last game? i thought he was just announcing his retirement (which a lot of ppl assumed was coming before the season anyway).

south carolina is the largest gulf between the loyalty and fanaticism of their fanbase and what the program has actually accomplished that i can think of

Trees are looking pretty great...

mccaferry is incredible

This was fucking insane:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDzfvVwJ1qI

"Jake Butt"

bama will have like ~400 yds rushing this game prob

That Michigan punter is going to have to transfer.

amazing

omg that was amazing

Woman screaming noooooooooo and wearing a tiara is my new favorite thing

http://i.imgur.com/AJelp5W.jpg

Hit the bar like Steve Sarkisian

ugh, dude. Really?

Pretty awful, I know

We and Sarks will survive though. SBs justified.

Do we all just have tastelessness fatigue about the Oregon uniforms at this point? Is "design a Ducks uniform in three minutes on the whiteboard" a Nike interview question?

Only Louisville was worse today

cool gimmick play by clem - linemen didnt get up from their stances on the snap, like 5 miami players rushed by and clem threw a screen, all linemen pulled to block and they scored a td

aub/ark going to 4th ot

w/in literally 4 plays and abt 5 mins in real time this game went from ark down 8, 4th-2 to ark up 8

usc is 5th in the fpi w/ 3 losses

http://espn.go.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings

supposedly the fpi predicts performance going forward. there's little doubt usc has underperformed pretty drastically so far.

Bye Al Golden.

targeting calls scarier than Frankenstein's monster

Poor Owls. I guess it's best not to tease fans with the idea your team can win big games, though.

They were def impressive at times, though. A weird game for dishone. I'm happy for Fuller, who got the winning grab and is from Philadelphia.

I am also happy for the wolf man, who interrupted my viewing of said winning grab with his urgent need for more candy.

wau miami

That is insaaaaaaaane

Don't know if that win is going to help Stanford much in the playoff race. Pretty ugly.

v sad lol @ how the CFP just solidified conference+ND bias instead of opening up shots for the little guys.

the river of money washes all things clean

That's not what I was expecting, but lol fuck Baylor forever.

cfp feeling pressure to hype up this weekend's game to frantic money level 1 code green

alabama will win, setting up the cfp SEC one loss grudge match that tcu or somebody will get to watch on tv

kst only down 7 to baylor

this bu frosh qb is sick wow

kst trying to operate their offense w 51 sec and no timeouts shd be interstng

lol they run a gimmick pass and int 1st play

how little confidence can u show in your qb my god

finally something interesting about college football
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14089689/missouri-tigers-president-tim-wolfe-resigns-amid-racial-unrest

A poor audio feed for the one board member who was attending the meeting via conference call left Wolfe standing awkwardly at the podium for nearly three minutes after reading only the first sentence of his statement.

Karl needs this soundbyte

its prob not gonna end up like this but a clem/nd rematch would be a p good game

ive been watching the showtime nd season tv show for some reason, its actually a compelling team (he sez grudgingly), has david robinsons son & torii hunters son both on the team as receivers, and torri jr is now playing as a db also; also has jac collinsworth bro covering them

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CMZlHFQWIAEBeoC.jpg

Collinsworth sounds quite a bit like his dad. Jerry Tillery is the most compelling.

yea its eerie.. word tillery is cool agree

imagine a iowa/alabama semifinal jesus

I'm into it.

If Iowa and ND win out, things will be awkward in my family. I expect that they will both lose before that becomes an issue as is tradition.

uga has a 3rd and 41 rn

After that Baylor game, Oklahoma needs to jump into the final four. The irony would be delicious.

okst is not good but if they somehow win out (v baylor, v ou) itll look bad theyre not in the playoff

irony that unduly rewards Oklahoma in any way shape or form is not delicious

things could get v messy for this CFP

lmao how is usf upon on cindy 34-0 w/ 10+ mins left in the 2d qtr

@Brendan_Eater8 3m3 minutes ago
USF IS GONNA HANG 80 ON US. UNFUCKINGBELEIVABLE

51-3 @ halftime

good god

they should just play the rest of the game with a continuously running clock, so it's over in 30 minutes of real (painful) time

wow there was just a sick play in tx/tx tech

"that's borderline immaculate reception"

Man, if LSU really fires Les Miles I am gonna lol in their direction forever.

Even if you aren't playing in the BCS or the Playoff every year, you usually have at least 10 wins and your recruiting pull is KUH-RAZY good with Les Miles. Let's look back at Alabama after Gene Stallings or Michigan after Lloyd Carr or Tennessee after Philip Fulmer or USC after Carroll or...god, the annual disaster that is U of Miami. If you kick a winning coach to the curb, it might be a while before you get another one.

Yup

Maybe they think they can hire Chip Kelly when Philly fires him.

tbh that might be the best landing spot for Chip. because there's no question that he's gonna be out of a job.

O_O @ mich in this 2nd half

Auburn must practice that style of catch.

wow

sick throw and catch stanford wow

david shaw shdve used some timeouts at some pt

gus johnson just said something act ukeleles

Oh damn, Richt is out at UGA.

http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/12/01/kirby-smart-georgia-head-coach-expected-alabama

Bye, Kirby. :(

georgia better know what they're doing

Even though there are a lot of similarities, I can't imagine things will go as badly as they did with Florida's Muschamp hire.

my concern is basically that saban is the best defensive mind of a generation so i'm not quite sure we know exactly what kirby is capable of. of course, muschamp was a defensive genius at multiple schools and was a disaster as a head coach so it's not like success is guaranteed either way. i guess i would just be wary of the kirby era turning out like every bill belichick assistant has turned out (i guess the jury is still out on bill o brien)

but if you're gonna pick a guy whose never coached over tom herman or whatever you better nail it

Richt to Canes

so three conference title games are on at the same time tonight

:/

omg that msu int

lot riding on that call/conversion

iowa is really fighting here im lowkey impressed

omg second effort

that was insane

THE REACH

That Sparty drive was probably the best I've seen from anyone all year.

@AndrewSiciliano
As part of his lawsuit against USC, Steve Sarkisian cites an "A+" coaching grade from Bleacher Report after ASU win.

lmao

28-0 utes over byu, 7+min left in 1st qtr

4 turnovers, 2 pick-6s O_O

fifth turnover! blame canada!!

lol that utah just had their first passing attmpt

http://i63.tinypic.com/rjfhph.png

go bears :)

baylor is just bullying nc

407 rushing yds atm

lol int

these bowl games are something :)

‏@PickSixPreviews 8m8 minutes ago
Baylor's 624 rushing yards is an all-time bowl record. BU was without leading rusher, receiver, #1 and #2 quarterbacks

clemson is looking really good on both offense & defense, shd be up by more rt now

Oklahoma looking like a team that lost to Texas

*bitter tears*

there was talk that OU would revenge themselves for last year's bowl loss. it was talk.

alabama's tromping of msu makes me depressed. now I must hope clemson can run through them like grease through a goose, which seems far-fetched, but I am willing to hope.

2016 Battlefrog Fiesta Bowl

whither tostitos

Feel terrible for Jaylon

this game is injury roulette

wow bosa dq'd

2 best players gone

how the fuck did ohio state lose to michigan state?

good q

seriously

p sure chris brown f/ alizae jones is a thing

"how the fuck did ohio state lose to michigan state?"

MSU hung around ok with Alabama in the first half, that interception right before half time in the red zone and then giving up the TD to start third quarter seemed to knock the life out of them. How the heck did Alabama lose to Mississippi State in a high scoring shutout? Same way really, it all comes down to mitigating mistakes often in football, perhaps more so in college ball. Alabama's turnovers were a big reason the Buckeye's knocked them off last year.

Big thing with Alabama is that their backups on d-line and running back are better than most college clubs starters. Clemson looks pretty talented and quite fast. I could see them hanging with Alabama for at least a while. I got to think the Tide's got depth that can wear down any club on a good day.

lol @ iowa

omg

mccaffrey da gawd

this game is unbelievable

Stanford, frozen out of the playoffs, are making their case to have been included I think.

yes, definitely

stanford and ohio state probably better than oklahoma and michigan state

http://i68.tinypic.com/e707c2.png

they need to interview the trailing coach in these blowouts going into the half instead of the leading 1

Oklahoma State never seemed much interested in this game, while Ole Miss was fired up from the first. The results speak for themselves.

all of these games are bad

I'll be watching Oregon v TCU tomorrow, bbut with Boykin out, one wonders whether TCU will fold or fight.

I got my answer.

They woke up (a little).

I go make supper and eat it with my wife (during which time I have no inkling what's going on). Come back in time to see the 2OT and 3OT. I guess TCU decided they could play this game after all. Eh! So it goes.

the drop off from adams to lockie was about as steep as imaginable

I always try to remember that the players are pretty damn young and 97% of them will never play beyond college ball.

Poor Jeff Lockie was a senior. After all that work, all that time spent on the practice squad, in the weight room, learning the playbook, getting bashed around. Now this is how he'll be remembered, as the fuckup quarterback who blew the big lead in the bowl game. Shouldn't happen to a dog, let alone a young kid who put his whole heart into it.

joe tessitore on saban just now: "interesting to see nick take the field, hes a man of rituals right likes to watch the weather channel, likes to eat his cookies, likes to have his lettuce with a little bit of tuna or some turkey, and likes to walk a hundred yards before he sizes up a victory"

that was a great throw to renfroe

deshaun has been throwing darts tonight.

he is good

"Genius of all geniuses, Nick Saban"

Is it me or does the Crimson Tide red look much more salmon/pink than the dark red in previous years.

wow huge play, clemson was really getting dline push too

onside kick was a gutsy call there

I'm so happy that this game is good

yea v competitive good game
saban truly showing his lizard blood w that onsides

See how it plays out, the pace reminds me a bit of the Texas/USC classic.

that was the most perfect onside possible

im scared of clemson giving up one more 50 yard run

oh good lord

i only watch this shit to see if alabama might lose

obv kenyon drake

geeeeeeez

special teams

are special in alabama

it's hard to be this bad on special teams in one game

alabama had better lose soon or I'm turning this off

wow

lol @ saban's clap attack

I hope this game never ends

this game has been really refreshingly penalty free and fast paced after watching nfl wc wkend

Deshaun needed a Dion Lewis move there

immed promote these refs to work all the nfl playoffs imo

there is goes

wow howard is basically gronk size w that speed O_O

clemson has really missed mackensie alexander badly

xp does he have a party bus, though?

what

just pick the ball up off the kickoff tee and throw it deep imo

Nice.

Love,
Johnny Fever, lifelong Alabama fan.

Sure the coach got canned, but how come none of the Baylor football players are in jail?

well two of them are
