Not a great slate of games.

#1 Miss. State @ Kentucky @ 3:30 on CBS.
#3 Ole Miss in Death Valley to face LSU at 7:15 on ESPN. That should be a good one.
#4 'Bama @ the 3-4 Vols. Kiffin returns to Knoxville. This is on ESPN at 7:30.
#13 OSU in Happy Valley to face the Nittany Lions at 8 on ABC.
#20 USC at Fassel's old stomping grounds, #19 Utah. This is on Fox Sports 1 at 10.

ND has a bye, returning to action next Saturday in Landover, MD to face Navy.
I like the first two games..  
KingBlue : 10/25/2014 10:48 am : link
Kentucky and LSU (at home) will show up and I think they both will keep it close. Bama rolls over Vols as one would expect.
West Virgina Ok State should be a good one.  
pmmanning : 10/25/2014 11:21 am : link
also I have been enjoying watching Utah's defense this year hopefully the beat up on Kessler today.

I love college football Saturday's what a great excuse to drink beer all day.

utah is favored as of right now

is also a terrible head coach. Backed up at his 1 yard with 1 minute to go and instead of running it three times to run the clock out he throws it twice. As long as Flood is there Rutgers will never be able to compete in the Big 10 against the top dogs.

It was a two score game with UT inside the 15 on what should have been a first and 10. They punch it in there, hit the 2, and it's a completely different game. Refs fucked it up good.

loss for Minnesota at Illinois, they go down big early, come all the way back take the lead in the 4th, then with 6 minutes to go fumble in their own territory and its returned for TD, lose 28-24

got away with a penalty for ripping off the helmet of the QB on that sack, he grabbed the opening of the helmet looked to me.

LOL now they give up a 3rd and long touchdown with 4 minutes to go to the backup QB.

Still think Virginia will come down the field and win but this would be your typical Virginia choke job in football

Agreed, they are a minimum 7 win team in the ACC based on their talent. London is a train wreck. Will they fire him?
Littlepage will have to be forced to  
Greg from LI : 10/25/2014 4:14 pm : link
He loves London and doesn't want to admit what a mistake it was to give him a ridiculous extension for one good season. Even Littlepage will have to face reality when there are 40-50000 empty seats at our remaining home games.

Jon Oliver must go too. He's the guy that wanted London in the first place.

of comments, you're a jackass as a coach if you are putting your players in a position to get injured on an absolute meaningless play. Forget about even running up the score, when you can knee on the ball and end the game, you do it, no matter what.

Absolutely. Stoudt is atrocious. But let's not forget, Syracuse is on their 3rd string QB as well. And he's a Freshman that they had planned on red shirting. At least Stoudt, as putrid as he is, was the starter to begin the season

I was really impressed by his freshman compaign. However, he has regressed big time this year. Stares down WRs, not the most accurate.

Now granted his OL is fuckng shitty, but even when he has time, he has looked awful the last 4-5 games.
his o-line is definitely shitty  
MookGiants : 10/25/2014 9:53 pm : link

half-serious question: do you enjoy watching these games? I love your passion for the sport and enjoy reading these threads (usually the morning after as I'm typically watching with friends and/or the GF), but I think you have 30-something posts in this thread and almost every single one is overtly negative. I mean, I know 90% of college football games involve one team screwing up only to be bailed out by the other team screwing up even more, but if I weren't watching the same games as you I would think the viewing experience is something close to torture.

Not suggesting you stop posting or change your tone or anything like that - post whatever you want. Just wondering whether this is, you know, actually an enjoyable experience for you or not.
I love  
MookGiants : 10/25/2014 9:56 pm : link
watching college football. I have 3 tv's on the wall and enjoy the hell out of it. Most posts on game threads are going to come off as negative when you're not actively rooting for one team or another. I hate officials, so a lot of the negativity does surround that and they drive me nuts.

I am...just think Ole Miss is a good story and would love to see Miss State vs Ole Miss as 2 undefeated teams.


Eh, I think you have to root for whatever is best for the team you root for, but maybe that's just me.

They will probably be the top 1 loss team in the country. I think Oregon is the team that can fuck it up for ND.

watching college football. I have 3 tv's on the wall and enjoy the hell out of it. Most posts on game threads are going to come off as negative when you're not actively rooting for one team or another. I hate officials, so a lot of the negativity does surround that and they drive me nuts.


Fair enough :)

Usually I'm rooting for chaos above all else, so when a team implodes at the end of a game it adds to my enjoyment more often than not. I'm on Team Schadenfreude.

In re: the officiating, I think that what college has is a good first step, and the problems generally arise when the replay official errs too far on the side of intervention. The rule is straightfoward: if you're not totally sure, don't overturn the call. So it's insane that we have reviews being called on plays where it's obvious to every person watching that there cannot possibly be definitive proof to overturn.

Given this refereeing crew, the penalty for delay of game could be 15 yards, or 50 yards, or a forfeit. They could have ruled the spike a fumble and I wouldn't be surprised. (KG voice) ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

one loss team that I think would be a complete joke if they got in is Ohio State. Everyone else potentially would have a pretty decent case. Ohio State lost at home to a miserable Virginia Tech team, they're out regardless imo.

They haven't beaten anyone. Stanford at home by 3 I guess but they're a 5-3 team that got nutted by Arizona State and isn't in contention for anything at this point.

Florida state beat them and they're full of holes across the board.

There is no clear cut head and shoulders championship team this year. Obviously.

That said, I'll take Mississippi State, Alabama, Auburn, Michigan State, Oregon, and either TCU or Baylor at this point.

East Carolina vs Notre Dame would be a great game in the Capital One Bowl. Go Pirates.

Come on. Their d line isn't great anymore. The defensive backfield is questionable against elite receivers, their offensive backfield is in complete disarray and the best parts of their team are the TE and the kicker.

I said exactly that earlier in the thread - a whiny, self-serving postgame press conference where he cried about a lack of execution.....in a game that was lost because a)Larry Fedora noticed that the UVA kick return team was turning around before the kick, but Londo didn't b)12 men on the fucking field on a late UNC FG attempt, giving them a first down and letting them run out the clock. Two massive coaching blunders.

On the bright side, it wasn't as bad as when he let the clock run down against Tek two years ago when we had all three timeouts remaining.

Golden’s record versus ranked team since he’s been a head coach. Overall record 3-12
At Miami, Golden is 7-12 against teams with winning records. It is important to note that of these teams who finished with winning records, only 1 of these teams has finished better than 7-6. That was Georgia Tech in 2011 who finished 8-5. Shannon posted a record of 12-18 against teams who finished the season with a winning record. Still very mediocre, but much better than what Golden has posted overall.

- Overall, Al Golden is 11-37 versus team have who finished the season with winning records, and of those 11 wins, only 3 have finished above 7-6 (Georgia Tech 2011, Connecticut 2010, and Navy 2009).




I will take London over Golden every day and twice on Saturday.
