Well dang. The new Ultraverse QB at CU wasn't inserted quick enough. Tigers would have won.
Oh well they are still a better team than ANY team they play. They should be undefeated as
they only beat themselves. Cheer up. I hear the head "coach" has declared a mulligan and
the season starts this week with the titanic battle against ACC powerhouse UNC.
CU is back baby! Just ask them.
USC meanwhile is an embarrassment to organized football. They should be 0-4....just
ask the head ball coach.
Missouri will blow them out with Gameday there as witness. The embarrassment continues.
UGA is back on track after having beat themselves recently.
Bama would kick ANYBODY's butt.

Having no malice for anybody and not sure what the rules are here, I will offer my $0.02... I think CU was the better team, FSU did not beat them, they beat themselves, 2 missed FG, but the fumble inside the 10 at the end was the back breaker. Also agree the play before the bad snap was a TD. Agree JW won't finish the season, if coach is smart he will get that a$$hole in check sooner than later, or at least work with the backup in prep for the next suspension.

 

[Trollhole]

Don't really know what to think of the game. It was a giant cluster for both teams. It just wasn't a good game with all the mistakes. Clemsons kicker sucks.

Jynx there really is only one rule here and that is you don't attack the poster. It's fine to say Clemson sucks and that you hope they lose every game from here out.



David great post.

 

[Gundy]

Dabo just explained that Clemson is 0-2 against Clemson. He really said this.
Meanwhile WCCP radio is already talking about winning it all in the next two years.
As long as Clemson doesn't beat themselves they should go undefeated every year.
They are serving some mighty fine koolaid in Tigertown.
Go Heels!

Odds on Clemson scoring 70 this week? I think you have to put the over under just for Clemson at least at 50 based on what ECU did last week.

UNC doesn't have a snowball's chance. Clemson is going to bring it. Tough loss to the Noles... The Noles could have their hands full playing undefeated NC State at home...

Well you are half right UNC doesn't have a chance.

NC State is garbage though, they should be 1-3 or 2-2 and the wins they have pulled out have been against scrubs. FSU wins it going away.

Can hear a pin drop in this place, kind of sad the lack of banter this year.

I guess all the USuC fans are in hiding right now, hard to crow when you are near the bottom of your league and losing to a basketball school. Pretty sure there are people in Kentucky who didn't even know they had a football team. I'm sure they will rebound against powerhouse Furman this week though.

I expect Watson to be resting in the 4th quarter again this week, and Petrino will have someone get him some earplugs by half.

 

[CharlestonG8R]

Missed all of the games this past weekend as I am out of the country with no internet access. I will say the Noles continue to scrape by and have a relatively smooth road to the championship. USC... I guess there's always next year! Ha!

 

[Gundy]

I repeat ....USC will lose at least 3
Clemson will win out.....except for the last regular season game. Good grief if they can't
it would be a shameful season.
Speaking of powerhouse opponents, at least USC beat a couple of top 25 teams, Clemson
will not even get to PLAY a top 25 team the rest of the season. Lost to the only 2 on the schedule.

 

[89s rule]

Those two were #12 and #1. Ga tech is in 22-25 range now. We are finally ranked as well. I see us winning out or possibly loosing one. Unless we play like we did against fsu I don't see us loosing against USuC.

You've already lost 3 time to update your prediction.

Clemson will win out. Just stop there that extra dribble doesn't add anything to the conversation since its so obviously incorrect.

You could beat #1 it doesn't mean anything when you lose to #60 or whatever teams like UK would be ranked, at least our losses came to top 15 opponents.

I agree we won't play another ranked team in the regular season, I don't see USuC being ranked when we drub them. We will play one in our bowl game though. Probably the Orange again since we are clearly the second best team in the conference.

 

[Trollhole]

Not a single mention of Georgia? They are done this year without Gurley

 

[TheForger]

What about the Ark vs Bama game?! Must be embarrassing coming off an ass whoopin by Ole Miss like that.

 

[tnkayaker]

How about a game that has SEC West and national implications, Auburn and Miss St. This is going to be a test for both teams. I hope Auburn can play a solid game on offense and defense.

 

[steenh]

NCAA sucks... Hate the rules and still amazes me they have such a stranglehold on athletics... But rules are rules and Gurley f'd up but will still make millions and not risk injury. I feel bad for me, not him.

We are toast with our RBs depleted with Michel and Marshall out, and a mediocre QB. Was fun while it lasted. At least we beat cow school.

The NCAA has become a huge joke the last few years IMO. Starting when the hole Cam Newton mess, he was guilty but through a loophole since someone else did the talking he could play?
Then Johnny football did the exact same thing gurley is accused of but on a bigger scale and he is just sat for a half of a game. And there were pictures of him signing in hotel rooms and actually items you could buy for Johnny football. Yet a joke of a half game suspension against a cupcake team.


NCAA will mess up and do something like piss of a power conference like the sec and have people doing what they can to get rid of it. Will probably come sooner than later with this selection committee picking the teams.

The playoff is going to be a huge mess making the bcs look like it was perfect.

It almost feels like they are trying to shake up college football enough so it just becomes a amateur league before nfl

 

[alabamatacomaguy]

That bama game last week vs ole miss.

Take away from that game is for at least one sat with everyone watching ole miss defense stepped up and played like the best defense in the country. I've watched that game and then parts of it later this week.
The ole miss secondary played a dam near perfect game. They covered Alabamas wrs perfect pretty much every play.

If ole miss plays d at the level they did against bama all year and bo Wallace plays an ok game like he did against bama they won't lose.... But they are a school from miss so it wouldn't be surprising to see both of then lose this week being hung over from the big weekends they had last week.

Bamas biggest loss against ole miss wasn't the game but our center it looked painful when our backup center was in, that's when many people said bama would lose the game and that was when bama has a 7 point lead and 20 mins left in game.

 

[CharlestonG8R]

I love the Noles, but I can't see anyone ranked number 1 right now but Miss State! Holy smokes, where'd these guys come from?

 

[steenh]

Maybe we will be ok after all... Smoked em!
