College Football Saturday - UL-CLEM; MICH-WIS

Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 10/1/2016 8:51 am
Another big day of College Football with the obvious two headline games fresh off of Washington's pounding of Stanford last night.

Usually you don't have this by October 1, but after today we're going to have a pretty good idea of the teams that are going to be the real contenders for the playoff. The ACC will have the Louisville-Clemson winner, the Pac-12 has Washington or maybe Utah, the SEC and Big 10 each have the 3 teams who all play each other; The Big 12 needs a Baylor or WVU undefeated run; and Houston. That's about a dozen teams left on 10/1.

How is Wisconsin an 11-pooint dog?

I think that’s the case with all college sports. College basketball is the same way, so many unbelievable endings in the tourney. The cinderella story/underdog always shows up more than once.

Maybe most exciting...
the best game I've seen so far was Bishop Gorman defeating  
gtt350 : 10/1/2016 7:53 pm : link
St Thomas Aquanis in triple overtime last night. In the overtimes there was a goaline stand, a blocked field goal for the win and a two point conversion for the win. exhausting

Isn't that why we watch? For the excitement?
And the atmosphere  
MookGiants : 10/1/2016 8:25 pm : link
at college games is 1000000x better than any atmosphere at any NFL game you will ever see.

I've been to a ton of NFL games, super bowls, playoff games, huge regular season games. Also been a ton of college games, including a bunch of non ND big games.

Not one NFL atmosphere could even hold a candle to atmospheres like the Clemson-Louisville game tonight. Even last week Tennessee-Florida was a better atmosphere than I've ever been at for an NFL game.

It's just such a great experience going to a college football game.
that is some crazy crowd @ Clemson

I think the atmosphere is what makes college sports. I am not a rah rah guy at the game, probably why I enjyo professional sports games more.
don't need to be a rah rah guy  
MookGiants : 10/1/2016 8:30 pm : link
to take in the atmosphere and just enjoy the hell out of it.

If I don't get married or have kids in the next few years, i'm going to pick a couple year stretch and just go to a huge college football game every weekend in the fall. I have so much fun going to college towns for a weekend and seeing a huge game. Tennessee-Florida last weekend was just an amazing weekend.

has not been good this year. An easy TD turns into an INT.

Whoeever takes him number 1 or 2 is going to have buyer's remorse.

florida state just lost on a 54 yard field goal. The only FG I think made all week in college.

Carolina deserved that game. They got a safety taken away from them on a BS spot. FSU's defense is atrocious. Clemson is going to carve them up...

Yep. Sure does. Is that turnover number 4 or 5?
I love seeing Clemson lose  
dep026 : 10/1/2016 11:35 pm : link
I hate Dabo. These Clemson players arent celebrating too much now huh?

If Louisville wins, the heisman is over and it looks like Louisville has to take down Houston for the final 4.

Pervis Ellison vs. Hakeem Olajuwon. Who would have thunk it?
Quite a turnaround  
SimpleMan : 10/1/2016 11:37 pm : link
for Louisville. Clemson under big pressure now.
I think in the end it will be Alabama vs Ohio State for national title  
SGMen : 10/1/2016 11:38 pm : link
right? Two best deepest teams?

But I do hope Louisville and Houston, smaller time teams, get into final four and give their best.

Go Louisville!
ugh  
dep026 : 10/1/2016 11:39 pm : link
that was quick.

Tough to see both Louisville and Houston both make it. They play each other later in the year.
well, I have no dog in this hunt but this is entertaining ...

Could be the same number for each.

Jackson pull this off and complete the comeback.
hope Louisville

scores and misses the XP.

I want OT. Don't want this game to end
clemson should just let them score

and get one more chance to score.
that was defensive

that was a pathetic effort

by the receiver. You have to put your head down and run that guy over. He didn't even extend the ball

has to make more effort. Come on, your not trying to kill clock you are trying to get 2 more yards. Put your head down and go for it.

Hell of a game to watch though.
lousiville needs to win out  
dep026 : 10/2/2016 12:05 am : link
and hope washington loses. They would be the best 1 loss team.
Good win for Clemson on a night when they turned it over five times.  
Crispino : 10/2/2016 12:09 am : link
Have to give them credit for not folding when all the momentum had shifted to Louisville. Hats off to Louisville too. That's a very good team.
I like Louisville's chances to win out  
giantsfan44ab : 10/2/2016 12:34 am : link
I like Houston too, but Houston is the perfect team for Louisville to face as they will likely be undefeated and will be ranked top 5. On the road too. If Louisville steamrolls all the other games and Lamar goes for the TD record it would be hard to see them not in the playoffs. It works out that Michigan and OSU have to play each other. They might need an upset from a Washington, however. Washington doesn't really play anyone. Would they leave an undefeated team out of the playoffs?
And go IU!  
giantsfan44ab : 10/2/2016 12:40 am : link
Didn't believe we'd pull that off. Been up against OSU, Michigan and MSU multiple times over the last 4 years and could never pull it off. Of course the first year I'm gone they manage to do it. If not for a loss against wake forest they'd probably would've gotten a decent amount of votes for the top 25
I actually think Louisville  
bhill410 : 10/2/2016 8:28 am : link
Gets in with one loss over a one loss Michigan or osu team provided they beat Houston. Selection is a game of recency so if you are going to lose better to do it early in the season against a top 5 team during an insane ending.

Btw was at a bar - what was justification for saying that int where the ball clearly hit ground in end zone was in fact a int?

Problem is what happens if you have a 1-loss A&M team that's beaten Tennessee but only fallen to an undefeated Bama? Washington wins out? Too many permutations left.
