2010 2011 College football thread

You forgot that Duke is on the comeback trail! After losing 6 straight, we've won 2 on the bounce and pulled out a game-winning, 2 min drive. The rest of our schedule is much easier than the first part. :D

Boise State should be in over TCU imo. Auburn's 200 grand man, Cam Newton, might put their chances in jeopardy if the NCAA hurries up and finds out of the story was legit.
 
It was last season, but virtually the same teams played in a bowl last year and BSU won. Both have largely the same players so I'd just throw that in. It's possible that BSU misses a BCS bowl completely while VT makes one. :lol:
 
Sorry this is not College football, but it's a 'middle-school' game. This is the greatest trick play I have ever seen :lol:

 
I think after the last two weeks that my season is over. I hope we get a compelling national championship game including oregon or auburn against tcu

i reallly dont want to see a 1 loss lsu or 1 loss auburn team jump tcu at this point.

anyways oregon has to go on the road two more times the last being the civil war at oregon state so they could slip up.

i dont think with all the crap about the auburn qb that they will win against georgia and alabama and the sec championship game but you never know.
 
Comeback by Auburn or choke by Alabama?

Didn't much care for the Auburn players actions after the game. Don't like Alabama at all but I was sort of pulling for Alabama to win and cause some trouble in the BCS. Auburn should beat South Carolina. But in a couple years Auburn's season will be forfeited once it's found out Newton was paid to go there. Where there's smoke there's usually fire.

Oregon is losing at the half.

i think you have to place the blame squarely on the nick saban and his staff for continuing to throw and throw and throw the ball and 3 substitution fouls. It really is why this team is not challenging for another national title. They did the same shit against South Carolina and LSU (passing the ball). The game was well and truly over but alabama didnt finish in the red zone and paid dearly for it.

I agree about some of what i saw post game. I dont like players especially Cam Newton walking around the stadium with his hand over his mouth. That i believe lacks some class. Of course my son thought it was cool. Strange i took my sons down to tuscaloosa yesterday to show them the campus and the stadium. I wonder if it was me that cost them to lose.

I also agree that if Auburn wins out that the title will be stripped pretty quick.
 
I think an Aubrun v Oregon title game would be pretty good, I think that Auburn would win it
 
My son got acceptance letters from Alabama and Auburn this morning....rather bizarre.
 
No, just those two out of State. Also has applications in for Florida, Florida State, South Florida and Central Florida.
 
There goes their streak, and very slim hopes for the BCS championship. TCU doesn't really have a chance because of its weak schedule..but BSU are done too now...hehe.

Oh what could have been...Auburn looked gone for all money, people must have been weighing up all kinds of permutations, only for them to get a W, and now this!

I've heard Auburn has ridiculously hot girls, but it also has a low "sexual safety" score meaning their all dirty whores. I'm not sure whether you should tell your son that or not...

If he's got the grades, doesn't he get free tuition or whatnot at UF schools?

He is well aware of the number of hot blonds at both school. The ROTC applications require five schools, and they were the nearest with decent battalions. He already has the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship if he goes to a Florida school. If he does ROTC and stays in Florida he gets to pocket that on top of the $400-$500 a month the ROTC pay him.

From an academic standpoint the school is irrelevant to him. He is set on a 20+ year military career, and officer training trumps most degrees/MBAs anyway.
 
We beat Michigan for the 7th time in a row; it's getting boring now, yawn

Wisconsin are winning against Northwestern, if they keep it up, they're off to the Rose Bowl, not us. It's been a good season for us though.

Edit: Yeah, Wisconsin are winning this. 34_10 in the second half already
 
IMO Wisconsin is probably the best team in the Nation. This is why I absolutely abhor the BCS. There are 4, maybe 5 teams that could win a championship this season but they all for the most part spend the entire season avoiding each other so they can maintain perfect or as close to perfect records as possible so they can be in contention.

Cut the regular season by 2 or 3 weeks and just do a playoff. Then you will actually see who the best team in college football is without all the conference bias and strength of schedule posticulation.

Most of them tend to avoid playing a decent schedule in the process. Auburn play five top twenty teams, Oregon play none.

Every year people pimp the likes of Oregon and Wisconsin and come the Championship game they get bent over by a SEC team.

The SEC teams play those teams not by choice, but because they are conference games. If they didn't have to they wouldn't either. Also the SEC doesn't always win.

I don't really see the argument. If your contention is that the SEC is the strongest conference, it probably is, then they should have no problem winning a playoff every year.

Do the SEC want a playoff system or do they prefer the current biased system that will almost always guarantee an SEC team in the BCS title game? I know the rest of the nation would probably prefer a playoff and let the actual best team win, SEC or not.

That said, I don't think Oregon is number 1, and I attend U of O. Nor do I think Auburn is number 1. I think the two top programs in the country THIS year are TCU (they are a monster and anyone who denies it is delusional) and Wisconsin has come on like a run away train. They are undoubtedly the hottest team in college football at the moment and I think they would run over Auburn or Oregon.

You should also check your facts. Oregon played and beat Stanford, the current number 4, they just beat Arizona which are hovering in and around the top 20.

The reason people pimp the likes of "Oregon and Wisconsin" which come from very legitimate conferences, hello Ohio State, hello USC, I think you actually mean the likes of Hawaii, TCU and Boise, is because people in general would rather see the actual best team in college football crowned champions, not a team from the most powerful conference getting an automatic bid every year.

Will be a shoot out as neither team plays defense.

Which will be fun to see, when it comes down to it, it seems that SEC teams always dominate other top teams at the line so it could be a blowout to Auburn in addition to it being a shootout. As good as Oregon are they dont have the pedigree of Auburn so I dont give them that much of a shot at the game, provided Newton plays
 
Cam Newton with the most sensational of performances tonight for Auburn.

Auburn - Oregon should be a cracker. Would rather TCU be there somewhere though, as I think the National Championship should have at least one competent defence.
 
TCU's defense would get the shit beat out of them by most good teams, shame they havent really played any

I dont totally dispute that auburn might win against oregon but i dont know what pedigree your speaking of. they did win a sorta national title in 1957 but other then that they have been fairly average over the last 25 years. Oregon finished 2nd in the nation in 2001 and probably should have played for the national title as the BCS gave that to nebraska who didnt even play in their conference championship game. Either way clearly auburn is the more physical team. The diff will probably be cam newton. Oregon couldnt stop Pryor last year in the rose bowl and newton imo is a better player then pryor.
 
I am talking about the SEC in general, if you are the best team in SEC, then you are most likely the best team in college football, and it has been that way for a decade.
 
I would give Auburn a 80:20 advantage at least. If they turn up and play Oregon have little chance IMO.
 
Cam Newton is a fecking beast he is the black Tebow
 
He has a more complete game than Tebow. Florida must be kicking themselves releasing him.
 
I am thinking Auburn by three scores, 45-24 (ish). Oregon will not be able to stop Auburn scoring, and they are not really used to playing defenses as quick and strong as Auburn's either.

I think Nick Farley will have a huge impact.
 
Auburn to win the national championship....only for Auburn to be stripped of the title in 3 years time for irregularities.

SEC might be the strongest conference in football, but it is also the dirtiest.
