The ESECPSN coverage over here is getting worse!!! How can they spin Ole Miss above us by Tuesday???
Click to expand...

Ole Miss looked impressive against an LSU team that was nearly beaten by Wisconsin, and who narrowly escaped from Florida, and who looked impressive in a 41-7 loss against Auburn...

Reminds me of Sir Robin from Monty Python's Holy Grail.

"Sir Robin the - not - quite - so - brave - as - Sir Lancelot, who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor, who had nearly stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol, and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill!"

Ole Miss's resume is looking much like ours, in the way that their competition hasn't been as good as it was originally thought to be. Their win against Texas A&M looked amazing at first, but now A&M is riding a 3 game losing skid. Boise State isn't as good as they have been in recent years as they've also dropped a game to Air Force. Obviously the loss to LSU hurts them as LSU already has 2 losses at this point and could have easily had a few more. The only credible win Ole Miss has is a fluke game against Alabama that they probably would lose 9 times out of 10 at least.

While I agree with you, they still have a win against bama while we have a win against....

We can only hope that the committee relies heavily on the "eye test" because no wins against ranked teams doesn't look good on paper. Hopefully these teams in front of us keep losing, we keep winning, and asu looks good enough for us to hang our hat on

We'll if fsu loses ...it would suck for us.

They look horrible...and even with their week schedule left they may lose another and that would be good for us...I guess.

I'm rooting for the Cardinal. The Selection Committee didn't give us any credit for having the "best loss", but penalized us for not having any quality wins. If UL beats FSU, that gives us another opportunity for a quality win, and gives us a good shot at passing the Criminoles.

I am rooting for the Cardinal because I hate FSU. Fuck FSU.

I hate FSU so much I couldn't pull for them even if it was beneficial to us. I can't stand that program, Dumbo Fisher, or anything they stand for. I was too young for the "convict" Miami teams but I can't imagine how they could be worse or more nauseating than this FSU team.

4Q Temple 20 #23 ECU 3

4Q Temple 20 #23 ECU 3

#23 ECU a 10 pt favorite is fumbling away a playoff berth trailing Temple 20-3.

ECU has outgained Temple 271 to 114 but the Pirates have fumbled 5 times losing 4.


Temple's scoring drives are:

0 plays 63 yds on a fumble return TD.

4 plays 25 yds TD 3:20 TOP

14 plays 20 yds TD 5:49 TOP


Almost 6 minutes of possession on a 20 yds drive!

Temple is playing on a very short field.

ECU can pull this out if they stop turning the ball over.

Looking at Wisconsin's schedule and how they're playing, they might end up in the B1G championship game. They'll have a tough game against Iowa, but that's it. I think they can play with OSU and maybe MSU.

I do too. I think any decent team in the country can play those teams.

Texas A&M 21
UL-Monroe 16

10:26 left in the 4th quarter

UL-Monroe QB is Pete Thomas. He started 21 games at Colorado State and 6 games at NC State last year. He was pretty highly ranked out of HS

Whoever Arkansas plays today is my upset special.

Arkansas has had everyone on upset alert every week and they let the nation down. I'm going to assume they have no shot against MSU and maybe that will help.

@ Miss. St??

I hope you are right. Arkansas is due for an upset.

I hope I am too. And I agree, extremely overdue...they've played teams tough this year, just haven't got over that hump. It'll happen, like you said, hopefully today.

OT for Duke.

Pitt missed 26 yd FG on last play in regulation.

The Pitt kicker who missed the FG last name is Blewitt. I kid you not.

Cannot believe that kid missed from 26 yards. Should have been a gimme. Momentum goes to Duke starting OT.

Duke just scored with ease. Not real sure I've even call this an upset. Teams are pretty even to me.
