Track who goes from 6-0 one week to the worst record the next week, imo ^_^
You say that LSU's offense scores when it needs too, yet in that Oregon game, 14 of those points came directly off of special teams and defense, not the offensive production. Had they not had those scores. Final score would have been 27-26 Oregon.
I bumped into RusynHokie at the bar w/ like 5 minutes left in the Cincy-WVU game. He, the Mrs. and like a whole mess of Cincy fans were cheering like crazy; good bunch. I was disappointed they couldn't take WVU into overtime. I thought the third down play before the blocked field goal was a bad call. Call a pass, but and let Munchie take off if he sees nothing.
Next season we should create an award for people that go 6-0 in a week and track it. Thoughts?
Nicely done.
There is no way that Okie State should be above LSU. I hope that was meant to be a joke. LSU's offense was bad against one of the best defenses in the country, but they have also shown that they can put up points when they need too (see the Oregon game). They beat Bama on the road and Oregon in Texas. Okie State beat who? Texas A&M who has lost 5 games? Kansas State who has lost 2 games? If they beat OU, then maybe this doesn't sound as ridiculous. Right now I think the bottom line is that the SEC is way better than the BIG 12 and that win against Oregon is looking better and better for LSU.
I have said this for a while now, I believe that Oregon is the best one-loss team in the country. I would still have to put Clemson above us because of the way they beat us at home. I do agree with putting Georgia above Boise though. It was a "neutral site" game and losing to TCU, who is nothing close to Andy Dalton's TCU, at home is a bad loss.
At least I had the Duck call going for me, which is nice.
This is incredibly awesome. Well done, good sir!
The only thing I would change is to move the dawgs above the donkeys because of the impressive win over Auburn yesterday (plus I want Boise to fall hard)
We lost to Clemson while our QB was hurt. We blew Wake out of the water and did very well vs GT. Clemson on the other hand, needed a last-second FG to beat Wake and lost to GT. I do think we'll beat them when we meet them again in the ACCCG.
AKA, I agree with flipping 7 and 8
"but I still don't feel they'd contend against any team with an elite defense (read LSU, Alabama)."
Yet Oregon still put up more points on LSU than any other team has all season. And that was in week one where a true freshman fumbled the ball TWICE. If they play again, I give Oregon a great chance at topping LSU. I'd say they're the #1 one loss team in the country based on what I have seen on both sides of the ball, not just one. Followed by Alabama, Arkansas, Clemson, Oklahoma, then us.
Also somewhat surprised that WVU didnt move back into the rankings after their win over Cinci
I would flip #1/#2, move Oklahoma to #3, drop Bama to 4. Then if this a who is playing better now, i would switch #8 and #7. I would trade Boise and Wisconsin. Rest of it looks good to me.
(and I know I'm in the minority, but I honestly don't think LSU is #1 and Bama is #3. Their offenses were atrocious and it was nothing short of a sloppy football game when they played each other)

top notch!
Collins moves back outside to defensive end and Rivers will start on senior night with Tyler getting snaps.

I choose none of the above.
I have watched the replay 3 times and I am astounded by the composure of our team after LT3 gets punched in the helmet. Why the ef wasn't #45 ejected for punching? Espn announcers covered for it during the game calling it a forearm.
Here is a pretty booze free Thursday only pick. I will give the rest of m picks on Friday if I am feeling up to it. After going 4-2 last week I am really hoping to go to 0-6 this week. I am heading to Atlanta on Monday for work and then to DC on Wednesday for the UNC game. I will have a good time no matter what, but I don't want to be crappy mood until then. On to the first pick.
GiT - I don't want to beat a dead horse but our D is not ready for this team. If we can't stop 3rd and short we will not win. I hate CPJ and Nesbitt, I am sure I will learn to hate a whole new crop of GiT players. Here's to getting back to .500.
Well I am off to a great 0-1 start, and since my pick was Git, I couldn't be happier. The victory last night means my BAC will go no lower than .7 until I wake up at 3:30 on Monday morning for a 5:30am flight. I love the six pick, but after the game last night, it is so much better. Now I just need to lose 5 more in my quest to .500. I know it has been said in an earlier post, but I am sorry, BCO, the lack of a legitimate cheer babe picture is deplorable. Please try to do better next time.

WVU - Cincy is poised for the Orange Bowl and a match up with UVA or VT. What happens in the Big East-Central-South-Midwest-Southeast-Midwest-Western-Northwestern-Pacific Conference is never as scripted. Shit teams beat good ones more often than that Kardashian chick gets divorced. Also I am hoping for a VT/WVU game in the near future.
Auburn - Well Georgia is on a roll and Mark Richt's job is looking a lot safer. Auburn hasn't been playing to shabby either. If any Georgia players did any drugs or other violations, I am sure it will be tabled until a later date.
Boise St. - These are a lot of points but Boise is ready to start laying it on folks. They also might be a little pissed off that TCU is leaving for the Big 12 via the Big East, lessening the strength of the Mountain West. TCU has rebounded since the opening loss to Baylor but they haven't played anyone of Boise's caliber yet. I really think BCO missed and easy opportunity on some pron here.

Stanford - Andrew Luck might win the Heisman in this game. Or lose it. Or be irrelevant. Stanford is banged up but Darron Thomas is having an off year. This is old school power football against new school speed. Or smart and slow kids versus very athletic kids. No matter, Stanford will show everyone why they deserve to play in a bowl game that LSU and Alabama are not playing in.
Beer of the week is Full Sail Wassail. It is the holiday season and a wise man told me that if holiday beer is available, it is time to drink it. Well I am in and this is pretty good stuff. The weekend will be spent watching football, drinking this beer and getting ready for my return to Blacksburg. I hope to meet up with many of you on Thursday.
Go Hokies!
I knew he was getting gif'ed on here!
Well played, sir. Well played.
Just commenting on how obvious it was once you explained it.
On another note, they have to be kicking back JR to end and Maddy / Marshall to tackle for Carolina, right?
Petersen's "What do you mean I get this lousy parting gift" look on his face. I caught the end of this game, and was screaming when the kick went wide right. A lovely cap to a weekend, in my opinion.
