Saban on Gameday today, "If Auburn wins today they deserve to be in the National Championship."

I hope Mizzou curb stomps Auburn.

Fortune Favors the Bold

What a glorious Alabama day this would be then...both fan groups would be so upset.

And I would be so happy.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

That is EXACTLY why I want Florida State and Ohio State to both win convincingly. I don't want any viable excuses out there for either one of them being jumped in the BCS. I don't want the SEC anywhere in the MNC picture. I'm so sick of the SEC...

Puke

Virginia Tech would walk right up to you and punch you in the neck. They're just tougher. Cowherd 3:16

agree with this so many times.

Sigh. I hate UVA.

So the Hokies can claim to be Conference USA- East champions, right?

I think it would be funny if Duke won. Dont hate!

@VTimHokie85

Bold Prediction: Missouri and Florida State will meet for the national title.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

I found this interesting.

This is about as shocking as high school football being played on Fridays.

Really hoping for Michigan State, Auburn, and Florida State wins today.

I'm happy for Duke but I definitely want to see the ACC in the NCG.

Wish granted.

Today I noticed that Desmond Howard looks a lot like Winston from New Girl, so I made this:

I'll see myself out.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Someone in the Gameday crowd made a sign saying "I saw Sam Ponder kissing Santa Claus"

They're all on network channels?! Why did my roommate have to break my TV on Thanksgiving =(

Whelp time for a large bar tab.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

So the bedlam was pretty good- except for the Oklahoma fight song being played repeatedly with what sounded like 1 fan (or cheerleader) cheering along every time.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

Oklahoma just upset Okie State. An omen for the rest of the day?

That ending was hilarious - added insult to injury!

Best duos in Hokie history: Hall & Adibi, 3rd & Tyrod, Georgia & Liz

They should be called CHOkie St.

I kind of wish we got to play Auburn. Thinking back to the GT game, Bud would have a field day game planning them. Assuming the D was healthy.

I think this offense would give us nightmares, but it would definitely be interesting to watch.

I suck at the internet.

Yes you do. I was about to blame it on you being new, but you've been a member for over a year.

But I don't think we would win the game. Just fun to watch what Bud could pull out of his hat.

Man, that Mizzou QB needed to get that ball snapped. Took his time and now he's losing the ball.

Is it just me or is Gary Danielson openly rooting for Auburn?

You would think Mizzou was still in the Big 12.

The SEC is too proud to want newcomer Mizzou to beat the real SEC.

I honestly think that if you go down, get up, and continue down the field as if nothing happened and get tackled there should be no penalty. The same for if you step out of bounds and run back in as if nothing happened.

No question, that was an awful call. If they're gonna let guys get tackled and keep going cause their knee was 1/3" off the ground (Auburn vs. Oregon comes to mind), you can't penalize a guy for continuing to play in that situation.

Ok. So is everyone else seeing the highlight of Auburn and their Kick Six with those those stupid sparkles and no sound? It happens every commercial break and makes me think my convoluted setup is broken....

is anyone else almost bothered by the "SEC diamonds"? those sparkles on the replays are really obnoxious

Taylor, looking desperately throws it deep..HAS A MAN OPEN DANNY COALE WITH A CATCH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FIVE!!!!....hes still open

I was looking at Auburn's O-line, thinking some of these kids are Grimes' but their current line has 2 redshirt freshman, 1 sophomore and two juniors starting!

So... all of them are Grimes' guys?

Sorry, misleading.
I was just surprised how young their line is.

Y'all see that graphic?

VT could make it a game against either one of these two teams. And that's meant to be an insult to the SEC.

"How you doin', Randy?"

are you kidding? Auburn would wipe the floor with us. Love our guys but you gotta be realistic. Auburn can put up more offense in a half than we could in two good game. Obviously Malzahn knows how to field a real offense. I think our D healthy with Fuller could give them fits for awhile but not all game

No. I am not kidding.

Anyone else think that kid from Auburn should be sitting out the bowl game after the late push?

Yeah, there's roughing and then there's ruoghing with intent.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Anybody see that hold that they showed 13 times that the announcers refused to talk about. He was stopping the running back and then the tackle grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into the end zone, allowing the TD. How is that not a penalty? These refs call any of our games?

It was borderline for me, but yes. I couldn't stop looking at it during every replay.

You don't think being grabbed by the collar by a 300 pounder and yanked into the end zone had a direct effect on the play? Or do you think it was moot and he was getting in regardless, hence no call?

I didn't see by the collar, but it was a fat man against a backer. Either way it was probably moot. We've got a shootout and that little play isn't what will decide the game.

Mizzou also has a Bonner that wears #8.

4th and 1. I know, let's run a slant into press coverage - that'll work.

Ive been adamant that Ohio St should get in National Champ with no losses over Auburn or whoever. Im not so sure after today. Will watch them play tonight but if they dont like like anything special, Ive kind of changed my mind. Beating Bama and then looking like they have today has been impressive. What yall think?

Let's go DUKE and MSU!!!

Shouldn't Hokies/ACC be rooting for FSU I mean seriously when was the last time we had a team in the NCG? OSU vs MSU as much as I hate OSU and their petty fans complaining bout their shot, I would rather see them in the NCG game then a 1 loss SEC team!

I couldn't care less who is in the title game if it's not Virginia Tech. I'd like to see a total BCS meltdown anyway..that would be far more exciting then having the two undefeated teams win out.

God bless em, they're trying hard, but FSU is clearly the superior team.

Yeah definitely. There's just no contest with the size...

Duke's clearly putting their heart into it. I wish them the best.

Go Sparty! 17-7 now, but they are looking good for the most part. FSU/Auburn MNC will appease the whiney ESPN folks.

I'm REALLY pulling for MSU.

But just think... If an SEC team doesn't get in the NC game we'll just have to hear a year of complaints. BUT if an ACC team beat Auburn there would be nothing to say. Hehehehehe :)

Our time's coming. I'm thinking 2015 or 2016 we should be ready to make a run.

Virginia Tech would walk right up to you and punch you in the neck. They're just tougher. Cowherd 3:16

Thank goodness for MSU winning. We get Auburn FSU, which is the way it should be.
I didn't see Duke getting chippy, I had already bailed on the game by then, but that sucks.
If Winston lacks focus in the MNC the way he was getting overexcited today, FSU doesn't stand much of a chance.

True, but I think that the difference may be FSU's defensive speed.
They are lightening fast, and their LB's hopefully will be able to slow down Auburn's running attack.
I think Mizzou had a chance if they had just tackled better.

I agree with you. In fact, I thought their size, speed, and depth in the defense would make me an FSU lean in the MNC.

But then I thought to myself, "Self, don't put the carriage in front of yourself. Auburn beat Alabama, and Alabama is a similar team to FSU but with a more mature quarterback and a Saban for a coach"

I think it'll be a high scoring NCG...

Remember how Boston College ran all over FSU..
Just think about what auburn is going to do.
