Week 5 National Gameday Thread

[GoshenGipper]

The upsets are already rolling this week with WVU going down to USF on Friday night.

I think Illinois has a great chance of upset vs PSU this week. They're overlooked by a lot of people.

 

[GoshenGipper]

This week just has one of crazy feelings to it. LSU really stuggled against Tulane, PSU lost to Illinois, Texas is losing to KSU, Rutgers is tied with Maryland, and Colorado just knocked off Oklahoma.

It was a good weekend in CF

I forgot to add that Wisconsin has their hands full with MSU which isn't too big of a suprise, at least to me and Clemson is losing to GT as well.

It was nice for me to see PSU go down, thank god I handed fliers at the bar for the suicide hotline.

Screw that I had PSU in Pick 'Em, and Benn was the big star for UI today which made it all the worse.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Man my Pick 'Em is going to suck this week. Rutgers, Texas, Michigan St., and Clemson all just went down today, and Bama is losing to FSU right now as well.

 

[SouthieND04]

Seriously...the weekend of upsets! Too bad ND didn't join in... =(

true that, though it would have been nice.

 

[GoshenGipper]

And down goes two more ranked teams one being Florida, and the other Bama.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Washington has being playing USC pretty tight all night too. However USC is up 7 with about 3 min to play.

 

[GoshenGipper]

For those that don't know USC ended up squeaking it out by 3.

 

[littlerick77]

with all these upsets, i was projecting the next polls.........it would probably look something like this (if i miss a team it's because i'm doing this from memory)...

1. SC
2. LSU
3. Cal
4. OSU
5. Wisconsin
6. Kentucky
7. Georgia??
8. OU
9. Florida
10. South Florida

just a guess...........but talk about a shake up to the top ten!!!

 

[littlerick77]

my bad....i'd squeeze in Boston College right before Kentucky.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Most of this huge shakeup actually didn't suprise me all that much. I just kept lokking around CFB and thinking this team really doesn't look that good, ot how is that team a top ten team. To me it was USC, LSU, Oklahoma, Florida and then everyone else. However two of those teams lost too. Florida suprised me a little since Auburn hadn't been playing very well of late, and they were at home but I figured their youth would catch up to them at some point. The Oklahoma was a really big suprise to me though.

BTW it was mentioned on CFB Final that Maryland was the 1st 1A team Rutgers has played this year. How Rutgers got to #10 without playing a Div.1 team I'll never know.

 

[littlerick77]

yeah, the polls were top heavy, with changes between #5-15 from week to week to be expected. Just not in one freakin' week! I was not aware of the Rutgers comment, but like I said before the season, RU was getting too hyped based on last year. If they can't take care of Maryland - what does that tell you.

It's just strange to see the top 10 to include the likes of Kentucky, BC, etc. There will be much more of a shake out in the next 5-games too - this poll will be completely different by the end of October. Gotta love CFB!!
