TCU v Iowa State is being hyped. We'll see if it is deserved. 

Iowa St's QB walked on after getting no playing time at Oregon State.  Only got the start v OK after 1st and 2nd team QBs injured.  Talk about an overlooked player!

 :-X

Love it!

Will the Ole Miss QB handle the pressure??

SEC Network.

 :popcorn2:

I forgot we weren't picking this game.  No Vegas Line.  QB playing questions.

Early TD Ole Miss.  7-0

OSU loses their best RB on 2nd play.  Plus he fumbled to WV.

 :popcorn2:

Arky responds with a long sustained drive.  7-7

Since you ask, I would have picked Arky.  I don't think Ole Miss has finished many games this year. 

Could be 59-59 by halftime.

OM right back with passing.

14-7 OM. 

OSU NOW GETS A TURNOVER...

 :popcorn2:

OM going through Arky D like a hot knife through melted butter.  14-7

Not much D on display, but Arky's clock use will keep the final score down somewhat.


Turnover battle in the WV OSU game.

TEXAS  7  BAYLOR 0

Well the way Ok ST is going I am sure to be 0-1 quickly. RTR!

OSU SCORES FIRST.  7-0

:babe:

OLE MISS AGAIN  21-7

Glad we didn't pick thatgame


OSU has a better offense than WV.  I'm afraid it is just a matter of time before they roll up some points.

Good drive by OSU.  13-0.

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/77/10/6a/77106a08aca674be9f20b2105a6f326b--cowboys-vs-burnout-tee.jpg)

Ole Miss gets a fg: 24-7

WV finally gets a pass completed.  About to score.

OSU 13   WV 3

Ole Miss again with passes:  OM 31-7

Another OSU field goal: 16-3  OK State

(https://cdn2.newsok.biz/cache/r960-7c75c6ba2605ea3034f3b14cb6df19e2.jpg)

OM fumbled, and Arky turned it into a TD.

OM 31  Arky 14

Well, it's cold and damp in WV.  Lots of turnovers.

WV fumbled at their own 20.

 :popcorn2:

Touchdown run for Oklahoma State!

OSU 23-3

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c0/1a/35/c01a35e89344a586157e5ccf11cb0528--cheerleading-uniforms-cheer-stunts.jpg)

Arky intercepts a bad pass, and returns 50 yards to the OM 20.

 :popcorn2:

Texas beating winless Baylor 21-7.

Arky score with 13 seconds on the clock (1st half).

OM 31  Arky 21

Well just make sure my team scores all the points. RTR!

Arkie 1st and goal in the 2nd Half, down 31-21, about to cut into the OM lead...

TD Arky! 

We have a ball game.  21 straight points for Arky.


Arkie 28  OM 31

WV offense starts the second half with an INT.

OKSt turns the short field into a TD

OKSt 30  WV 10

Oklahoma State drives for another TD.

Steady rain.

OSU 30  WV 10

Miami 14  Carolina (1-7) 6

Wake 28  Louisville 10

In other games, Miami up 14-6 on UNC in 3rd.

Wisconsin up 17-3 on Ill in 3rd.  Could there be a more overrated, undefeated team?


Wake Forest up 28-10 on Louisville at halftime.   :lol2:


Colorado up 7-0 on California in the 1st Quarter.  I didn't realize the PAC12 played games this early.   :unsure:

Rather than attempt a 47 yd FG for the tie, Arky goes for it on 4th and 1, runs a trick pass play, incomplete.  No power rushing play (Arky's strength), and little surprise that Coach BB has a marginal record at Arky.   ??? ???

Arky back to playing no defense.

Ole Miss' sole punt this game, in the second half, looks like a fluke.

Oklahoma State intercepts again (that's 3 today).

Still OSU 30-10.

(http://c8.alamy.com/comp/DHGTDH/stillwater-oklahoma-usa-9th-nov-2013-november-9-2103-oklahoma-state-DHGTDH.jpg)

3rd offensive possession for OKSt in the 3rd Quarter. 
All 3 on WV side of the field.
Average start inside the WV 45 yd line.

OSU misses a field goal after the interception.

That won't hurt WV's ......

(http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/pg-photo/2013/08/22/0ap2000000233048/west-virginia-mountaineers-cheerleaders_pg_600.jpg)

... chances of winning.

Ole Miss fg:  OM 34  Arly 28

Three possessions but only 7 points.  WV is hanging around....

Yeah, but the wet conditions are hampering WV's play.

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e3/4e/89/e34e89f839aa8815b6d76c7b86e171aa.jpg)

That works for WV.  Just go for the blocked punts.

Meanwhile, refs blew a call on an Arky fumble (under review).

OSU 30 - 17

WOW

OSU can't handle the pressure; pick 6.  Another quick WV touchdown.

OSU 30  WV 24

 :dunno:

Field goal Ole Miss:  OM 37  Arky 28

Momentum totally flipped.  WV holds OSU, and awaits a punt.

(http://dwjx78790mroz.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/25210425/ncaa_college_cheerleaders_west_virginia_rV78gtSk.sized.jpg)

Ole Miss intercepts a 4th and 9 by Arky.  6 min left.

OSU at midfield.

OM 37  Arky 35    5 min left

Arky TD on scoop and score (mishandled handoff by OM).   :facepalm:

Big run on 3rd down by OSU; missed tackles, and OSU scores.

OSU 37  WV 24

(https://cdn-s3.si.com/s3fs-public/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/0802/campus.cheer.wvu/images/Chrissy_Kemmner_WVU-15.jpg)

Arky has the ball, trailing by 2 points.  Neither team has made a stop, so Arky could simply drive down and win.  3 min to go.

 :popcorn2:

1 min to go.  Arky has 4th and 4 at midfield.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Interference.  First down.   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Touchdown pass by OSU after ANOTHER turnover by WV.

OSU 43-24

Arky overcomes a holding penalty.  Down to the OM 32. 
Arky field-goal kicker is iffy, so anybody's guess how this ends!  28 seconds left.

Arky runs it to the OM 15.

4 seconds left.

Field goal time.

Can it go high enough and far enough??

                       Look out for that flag!
(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ba/5d/83/ba5d833242dd2a0e34a374adc6a0e801.jpg)

FIELD GOAL IS GOOD!

Arky battles back all day, and wins by one point: 38-37.  Wow!

 :'( :'( :'(

Penn State and Ohio State starts in 5 minutes.

Maybe both will lose!

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

I had it entered in then I had to take it out when I couldn't find a line.  I forgot about that and thought I had picked Arkansas.  I was disappointed when Ole Miss was blowing them out early.  But that was nothing compared to when I came back just in time to see Arkansas kick the field goal, then went to enter the score in the Pick 'em Contest, only to see that the game wasn't listed and remember that we didn't pick the game!

:-[

Okla State scores again.

OSU 50  WV 31

Ironically, the OM backup QB played well.  OM just gave it away with a fumble late.  :dunno:

 :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Penn State returns the opening kickoff for a TD.   :lol3: :lol3:

Stupid buckeyes wearing a crappy-looking GRAY uniform today.  Glad I picked PSU.

:yuck:

Well, it starts early; injuries.

PSU loses a defensive lineman to a knee injury.

TOUGH KID; GOOD BREAK.

OSU fumbles, and PSU returns it to the 20.  :jump:

WV scores again.  Crazy game.

Touchdown Penn State on a pass.  Urban Meyer looking stressed BIG TIME!

 #+ #+

I just flipped it over and see that PSU is up 14 to 0 already after only about 3 to 4 minutes of game time.

WV loses by 11.

Read above.

UGA 7 UF 0

UGA 7-0.  That might be enough.  :lol2:

Ohio State gets false start.  They look TURRIBLE.

Yeah, thought I picked Arky at first too.  Would have been better than missing on the WV game.   :facepalm:  At least I knew Ole Miss couldn't finish.

GA up to a quick 7-0 over Florida.  It is going to be a long day for the Gators. 

No, they need 7.5 more!   :lol2:

INT GA!!

GA already to Fla 12 yd line.  1st down.   :popcorn2:

Exactly Chech, 7.5 more points.   :lol2:


(I'm thinking it should be a good bit more.)

Well they just got 7 more.  It won't take long.  :lol2:

Almost enough.  Need 0.5 more.

 :popcorn2:

Georgia is going slaughter Florida if they don't pick it up. RTR!

Only loser teams use uniform changes. 

OSU is pretty traditional, surprised by the ugly unis.

Barkley first down.

I picked WV too.  I hate picking Big 12 games.  You never know which team is going to go all "Varsity Blues" the night before the game.

ND and NCST tied at 7

Iowa St up 7-0 on TCU. 

74 yard UGA TD.  There's your other 1/2 point.  :lol2:

Can I pick UGA -98?

GA running right through FL defense.  21-0

Lots of OSU penalties.  Urban showing stress.   :lol2:

That's enough.   :worship: :worship:

Another PSU defensive player down.  Arm/shoulder injury.

Well I won one game maybe 1-9 this week. RTR!

TCU 0  Iowa St 7

PSU holds on 4th down.  Good tackling in space.

OSU down to the PSU 10.

 :popcorn2:

And now OSU scores a TD.

TD BUCKEYES!

PSU 21  OSU 10

First and goal ND.  About to tie it up

Florida actually getting a running game started.

They might score!

Oops; false start.   :facepalm:

UGA holds on 4th down at the 3.   :lol3:

OSU special teams suck.  PSU almost returned another KO for a TD

ND scores.  Tie game 14-14.

Meanwhile, PSU runs back the kickoff to the OSU 25.  Wow, Urban gonna cry!   :'( :'(

TD ND to tie it up.

OSU intercepts in endzone, but called for interference.

PSU Touchdown.  28-10.

Pizza's done.  Anybody hungry??

OSU with a good drive.  Barrett decided he's a better runner than passer.

 :lol2:

PSU 28-17

Refs robbed OSU there.  Darn.   ;D

Yep.

Wow, Iowa State up 14-0 on TCU.

SEC might get two teams in the playoffs after all.   :clap:

SC up 14-7 on Vandy

ND 21 NCSt 14

(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/9/9d/Peterpan-disneyscreencaps-3773.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120226034218)

HOW?

Florida gets a chance, then fails on 4th down.  Still 21-0.

 :(

Another PSU player injured; #48 Miller.

Walks off like he's okay.   :clap:

UGA 28-0.

 #+

OSU gets a fg:  PSU 28-20.

PSU O-lineman (Bates; LT) is down with a knee injury.  BIG GUY; BIG INJURY.

 :popcorn2:

Pick 6 for ND.  They lead 28-14.

I wish we'd get to play ND in the playoffs.  We'll kill 'em.

OMG, PSU receiver and OSU DB caught the ball simultaneously in the endzone.

Refs called it interception.  Looks like a PSU catch to me.  Wow!!

 This decision is up in the air!

Overturned!!
WOW, Penn State Touchdown!

PSU leads 35-20!!

Georgia 35-0.  Bye-Bye McIlwain.

 :wave:

ND holds NCS at the ND 6.  ND ball.

 :stars:

Ohio St finally got their running game going on a nice drive, but is it too late?  They trail by 15 (5 min to go in the 3rd).

 :unsure:

Talking Heads have been talking about it for a couple of weeks.

They think if Big12 and PAC12 don't have a legit contender and GA/Bama go undefeated into the SECCG, it might happen.

Really, the committee is supposed to pick the "Best 4 Teams," but I think it would take something indisputable for them to pick two from the same conference.

They'd be worthy, BUT I'd bet the house the committee wouldn't take the loser unless the other conference winners all have 2 losses.

Barkley is a great player for PSU, BUT he does a lot of that high-school reverse stuff when he's cut off.  He just ran back to his own 1-yard line and was tackled. 
 :facepalm:

END OF 3RD QUARTER.

PSU 35   OSU 20

ND gets a TD on a long run.  They lead 35-14.

OSU not out yet.  Blocked punt followed by an OSU TD

8 point game

Just like that, TD pass by Buckeyes.  PSU can't stand to watch!

PSU 35  OSU 27

ND QB is hurt.  Tackled from behind.  Limping, but looks okay.

 GA 42 FL 0

Iowa St 14 TCU 7  6 minutes left, TCU football

OMG!

PSU driving again; down to the OSU 7.

PSU about to score.  3rd and goal.

Iowa State holding the ball.  TCU has 1 timeout.  Inside 3 minutes.

Florida might be getting a late mercy score against GA backups.

Yep, PSU kicked a fg: PSU 38-27.

They got it.  42-7.

SC scored a TD to take an 11 point lead over Vandy.  31-20

No miracle for TCU.

OSU getting momentum.  About to score!

Vandy gets a Barn-esq catch.  Those pesky Dores are gunning for the spread.

TD OSU. 

Touchdown Buckeyes.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3411/3424705583_5c97732c1c_b.jpg)

Wow, announcers told the viewers the 2-point play that OSU was about to run.  Said they watched it on Thursday.  Sure enough, OSU ran it.... and didn't score.

They'll never get on the OSU practice field again!!

 :lol2:

Barkley still trying to do too much.  Ran backwards to the 15 on the kickoff.

 :popcorn2:

OSU has complete momentum.  PSU offense going backwards. 

PSU stuffed for a 7-yd loss.  Back to their own 8.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

PSU 3rd and 19 from their 6.  Wow.  4 min to go.

(https://coedmagazine.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/ohio-state-university-buckeyes-cheerleaders-instagram-5111.jpg?quality=88&w=750)

PSU will punt from their goalline.

Helll of a punt by PSU.  Here comes OSU from their 42.

 :popcorn2:

IF OSU WINS LIKE THIS, THESE BIG-10 CRAZIES WILL PUT 2 BIG-10 TEAMS INTO THE PLAYOFFS.

OSU scores, leads 39-38.

WOW


OSU grabs the lead with 1:48 left

Northwestern beats Michigan State in triple overtime. 

Prolly both top-10 teams?   :lol2:

So now they're pushing Barrett as the Heisman leader, bragging on the great coaching job by Urban Meyer (despite his team allowing 2 long kick returns and LOTS of penalties), and this puts the BIG 10 in line for 2 teams in the playoffs.

 :stars:

A&M sucks.  They just missed on 2 wide-open WRs for TDs.

 :dunno:

Yeah, they've been talking SEC or Big10 might get 2 teams.

Big10 teams, with the exception of OSU, haven't played anyone, and OSU lost to OK.

It would be funny if it weren't true.   :lol:

Vandy held on 4th down, trailing by 7.  1:10 to go; Vandy with 2 TOs.

 :popcorn2:

The pesky Dores lose by 7.  Gotta love a 6.5 point line

TN still cannot get an offensive TD. 
After KY fumble, TN settles for a FG. 
KY scores a TD. 
On TN's next possession, TD run called back for holding

TN 3  KY 7

Oh please, please let this happen!  Bama, 2 Big 10 cream puffs, and Notre Dame!  Sounds like a fun time to me.  :lol2:

TN just did it again.  4th and goal; field goal.

 :wall:

I like the way you think.
But Dabo not so much!
 #+ #+

KY pick is no better, they keep self-destructing.   :facepalm:

:lol: #+

Really not certain Clemson gets there this year.  With their injured QB  they're vulnerable.

TX Tech 6 OK 0

MS St 14  Aggies 0

Dan Mullet had this game circled as a "swing game." 

Win this, and MSSt might get to 9 or 10 wins with a bowl game.

Clemson 7  GT  0

Sloppy, Rainy game

Long run by GT 
First and Goal

This is a very interesting game to me to measure where we are at.  aTm played us pretty tough.  I was hoping they would blow out M.S., but that is not going to happen.

:popcorn2:

Woah, TENNESSEE SCORED A TD!!   #+

The next 3/4 games should be more of a test than Bama has faced so far this season, starting with LSU.   :popcorn2:

Still not sure about giving points and taking KY.   Ever.    ???

Yep, I just couldn't do it.  :lol2:

I mean, they are STILL Kentucky, right?

So, we all sink or swim together - ammah right?

Anybody here understand what is happening in College Station?  MSU just went up 28-7 after another interception. 

Is A&M that bad, or is MSU pretty good??

 :dunno:

Searched for a photo of MSU cheerleaders.  Up popped a bunch of nude pics.  WTH??  Did the entire cheerleader squad in STARKville pose neked?

End of 3rd quarter.  A&M trails by 3 TDs.

I picked KY -- I hate TN that much, no way I wanted to root for them.

You're prolly on an island.   :popcorn2:

Kentucky fumbles AGAIN.  Tenn hanging onto a 2-pt lead.

 :popcorn2:

Astros ahead 1-0 in bottom of 6th.

 :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

I don't know but this is a very concerning development.

Tenn up 26-21 now.  Lots of field goals.

 :tinfoil:

Missed TN fg.  Still 26-21

UK might win, but not cover.  Perfect!  :lol2:

UK takes a 3 point lead with 33 seconds to go.  :lol2:

UT throws a Hail Mary, catches it, and then gets tackled on the 3 yard line as the clock hits 0.

Bye-Bye, Butch.   :wave:

Situation in G'ville with CJMc seems very sad.  He looked beaten down in his presser after the GA game. Looked like a guy who knows he is on the way out.  On SEC Network there is some talk that situation between CJMc and the AD is so bad that coach wants out.  What a bummer for him.  I hope he lands on his feet.

CJMc never could find a QB.  Certainly wasn't left with anyone.  So he tried the transfer QB route, maybe hoped to recruit/develop quickly an SEC-ready QB.  Bama missed on several QB recruits and had their pick, so it's not easy.  Saban benefited from Shula's QB recruits when he first got to Bama.

Coach Mac also only 4 OL on scholly when he arrived on campus.  Apparently Muschamp could only recruit D players.

So I think Coach Mac did a good job but needs more time.  Got a ragtag, thrown together Florida team to the SECCG two years in a row. 

Backlash now that no progress seen.

Hard to compete with Kirby with his system and his inherited talent -- not one but at least two good QBs, some great RBs, etc.  Everyone knew CMR had the talent at GA.

Not too worried about McElwain.  Someone will want him if Florida discards him.  He is better than most other SEC coaches.

Now UF is saying McElwain made up the 'death threat' allegation, which gives them 'cause' to fire him without meeting contract requirements.  What a mess.

Whooda thunk that since the Tebow era that Florida would be the dumpster fire that they are?

I thought the A&M attacks on Sumlin was going to be the ugliest finish this year.  But the Gator Nation is full of snappers.

The Sumlin grumbles will probably start up again today. I really didn't think Miss St could go to College Station and beat TAMU, much less put a total whoopin' on them.

I was left jaw-dropped too.  Like A&M just didn't show up.  They didn't play hard, didn't tackle well, etc.  Weird!

I think they totally underestimated Miss St.

RAT POISON!   >:(

Saying no evidence, implying made up, trying to get out of paying Coach Mac.

Miss State look jaw dropping good against LSU, then got hammered by GA and shut down the by Barn.  Probably it was the matchup -- Aggies not known for stopping the run.

CJMc has a lot of players who was crooks and can't play. Look how many 2nd and 3rd teamers are starting. Yes some on defense are good but they get tired and no depth. I think CJMc is in a no-win situation. If I was him I would want out and come back to Alabama for a rest period. RTR!
