Miami is showing how weak the ACC is.

Thinking the players are going to play hard to keep Pelini's job?

I know you are not a Nebraska fan, but thought I would share a quote..

"I love it when fans start talking like this. Jinx!!!!"

Re: College Football Thread?

And you don't know who I picked yet either!

Trust me. I would love to see Nebraska win no matter who I pick. Anytime the SEC loses is a good thing as well...therefore, not a Georgia fan!

See where I live. Georgia fan - NOT.

Re: College Football Thread?

Is anyone going to be awake in Michigan or Kansas when the Michigan Kansas State game ends? Seems like a late start! 9:15 CST

Realize the game is in Arizona but kinda late for the people most interested in it.

I remember our correspondence prior to the Nebr - UCLA game and you were correct. I was too over-confident and a bit cocky. UCLA provided a second half butt whooping. I'm rooting for UCLA and Nebraska this post season. My picks may reflect otherwise.

Re: College Football Thread?

Re: College Football Thread?

My picks
1. Anyone playing the SEC will lose. Oh well it is what it is.
2. Ohio State is toast. Lose by 10. Probably more.
3. Florida Auburn is close. The top three teams are very close. That would be FSU, Auburn, and Bama.
4. Oklahoma will lose by 20.
5. Georgia will win close. Don't really know what happened to Tenn and Neb.
6. UCF will get better in years to come. They are the largest college in FL. No call on that game.

OK its in writing.

I take it your FSU-AUB pick is Auburn for #1?

Re: College Football Thread?

FSU is already favored by 8 points, but I think that's conservative. Auburn was giving up 20-30+ of points per game and relied on several "miracle" wins to get where they are, whereas the Noles have blowing opponents out while simultaneous shutting them down all season. Most of our games where over within the first quarter and our Heisman winning QB didn't even play the second half of most games. I'm just sayin' We shall see......

Go Noles!

Re: College Football Thread?

FSU played in the weakest conference. Clemson was the best team they played. We will see when the going gets tough.

Strength of schedule rank is 63!!!!

You have me totally confused. When did FSU switch to the SEC? :noidea:

 

[kfa4303]

Re: College Football Thread?

Yeah, we had a pretty weak schedule, but there's not much we could do about that other than win and win big, which we did for the most part. Either way, I'm stoked to have a perfect season and to even be back in a BCS Championship game. It's been a loooooooooong time. Win, loose, or draw we have lots of young players that will (hopefully) stick around a while so the future looks bright.

Re: College Football Thread?

One thing is certain and that is that none of us know the outcome until the game is over. Everything prior is speculation.

Re: College Football Thread?

There were a lot of teams that would have been undefeated with the 63rd hardest strength of schedule!
