Temple up 3-0 early over UCF, and just blocked a UCF FG attempt.
One of Temple's best D players left and is headed towards the locker room?

 

[Irish YJ]

Temple up by 6 at half. It's like a pinball game, and very entertaining...

Not really putting this in upset watch until they're down by more than 7 in the 4th.

 

[Irish YJ]

Pitt in a close one. Down 3 to VA at half.
Pitt could actually compete for the Coastal with a win tonight.
Narduzzi doing pretty decent on D

 

[ab2cmiller]

Pitt player ejected for targeting on a booth initiated review that took about 4 minutes.

I’m sorry, but if it takes that long to try to figure out if it’s targeting, you shouldn’t be making that call

can't we just add a bumper cushion to the the crown area and be done with this garbage.

 

[Irish YJ]

So Pitt looking pretty good... Their D looked really good against a pretty decent VA. Feeling less bad about our 1H against them.

If they beat VT next week, they lead the Coastal... Them going to the CC would be nice for our SoS.

Yeah. They looked pretty good tonight.

This Pitt team is better than their record would indicate IMO.

Losses to quality teams PennSt, UCF, and ND.
Bad loss, although only 3pts and on the road to UNC.
Beat decent GT, UVA, and Duke teams.

Yep that UNC loss is horrid and may end up coasting them the division.

BTW you left out a really good win, not great, beating Syracuse.

Good catch. It's crazy to think they could end up winning the Coastal though with their overall record. And it's not far fetched either. They get VT at home next week, and then @WF, and a big one @Miami to end the regular season.

Miami could still win if Pitt beats VT, and Miami beats Pitt and VT, and GT or VT beats VA.

My dad always thought that if you wanted to make football safer...you need to take the helmets away all together.

Rugby has less head injuries, but more spinal injuries.

I'm not opposed entirely to the new rules, i just hate the extent that they are called. way too many questionable calls leading to ejections. they are simply not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt if things are close. when in doubt, throw them out...

What? No. Undefeated ND is in even with two SEC teams.

for positioning, not to get in. we want to be 2-3, and bama 1.
the koon wish was bama to lose twice, and totally fall out.

LSU over Bama results in...

1. Clemson
2. LSU
3. Alabama
4. Notre Dame

If one loss LSU is ahead of us, one loss Bama sure will be. We still avoid Bama.

Probably, for the week. Then other silly stuff could happen. LSU could lose the rematch with UGA (exactly like Auburn did last year), Clemson could shit the bed against an inferior team like they did last year, etc.. and ND and Bama could be 2 and 3.

I'll take Bama undefeated never giving up the 1 spot, and LSU knocked out of contention. That's the safest road to not play bama in the first round.

 

[OhioIrish31]

Nebraska 7....OSU 0

 

[Irish YJ]

Nebraska up 7-0 @ OSU
won't last, but still lol

Oh I agree that it's BETTER for ND if Alabama wins out, but it's not such a deal breaker that it will prevent me from rooting for chaos. Always chaos.

 

[OhioIrish31]

won't last, but still lol

Did you see that whiff on the Kickoff? Ball moved about 9". LOL

 

[Greenore]

Nebraska up 7-0 @ OSU
won't last, but still lol

That "on-side" kick though... sheeeeeesh!!

 

[Irish YJ]

lol... Nebraska kick off choke. OSU starts at Nebraska's 31

 

[Irish YJ]

That "on-side" kick though... sheeeeeesh!!

even our STs haven't been that special lol

That was pretty special!!

my wet dream is for bama to lose twice and fall totally out. i want maximum chaos as well.

ND
KY
WSU
UCF

 

[Irish YJ]

Nebraska stops them on 4th...
This game is way more entertaining than I thought.
I figured it would be 21-0 OSU by now.

 

[Irish YJ]

WF up 7-0 over Cuse

 

[OhioIrish31]

Auburn 7-3 over A&M
