2011 College Football

Heh, Va Tech. Geez.

Clemson better win or the ACC is once again going to have one of "those years" in the post season. 

Way to represent, Clemson! 

Well it was historic. I gave up at half time when they put 49 on em.

[Paelos]

So here's some conference numbers:

Winners:
Big 12 at 6-1, and I think this adds to the notion that the Big 12 was the best total conference this year top to bottom.
SEC at 4-2, Georgia fucked this up. You can thank Mark Richt for that. Otherwise it would just be Vandy that lost.
Big East at 3-1, the absolute shellacking of the ACC "champ" in historic fashion was just icing on the cake.

Losers:
Big 10 at 4-6, most teams in the bowls, but also the most losses. Dubious at best when your champ didn't win either. Still, Michigan State! 
PAC 12 at 2-5, thank god for Utah or this would have been a total disaster.
ACC at 2-6, Champion? Blown apart. Runner-up? Shot in the foot. Entire coastal division? Losses. The only teams that stepped up were FSU and NC State. Without a doubt the worst conference in football.

I'm not sure if that game said more about the ACC or the Big East.  West Virginia probably underachieved this year though, as they have some really nice athletes on that team.  Maybe they'll be a good addition to the Big 12.

[Abagadro]

USC being out and shifting PAC teams up one bowl  didn't serve them well.

[ghost]

It is difficult to look at the number of bowl wins and say that a particular conference was the "best" for the year.  The SEC is very top heavy, but it is also very, very good. 

[Ingmar]

Yeah agreed on the USC thing. Everyone but Oregon and Stanford was playing up a notch.

[ghost]

Even Stanford was playing up a notch.  Or maybe two. 

[Ingmar]

Stanford deserved their spot, as much as it pains me to say something nice about Stanford, as I think the outcome of the game showed.

[ghost]

They sucked...........for every second of that game. 

[Ingmar]

By the way, in Stanford- (and Cal) related football news, this is a fucking travesty:

I blame you Abagadro. 

[Sjofn]

On the upside, we probably won't get rained on and catch Big Game Plague?

[Abagadro]

Hey, our big rivalry game got moved to September this year and next year and may go away entirely after that.

[01101010]

Well within the realm of possibilities to run the table next year as well...

What a tough out of conference schedule.    Still, in conference always looks scary nowadays in the SEC.

[Paelos]

OOC Schedules from the BCS leaders for next year:
Alabama - Michigan, W. Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, W. Carolina
OK State - Arizona, Louisiana-Lafayette
Stanford - San Jose State, Duke, Notre Dame
Oregon - Arkansas State, Fresno State, Tennessee Tech
Arkansas - Jacksonville State, ULM, Tulsa
Boise State - Michigan State, Miami (OH), BYU, Southern Miss
Kansas State - Miami FL, North Texas, Missouri State, UCF
Wisconsin - Northern Iowa, Oregon State, Utah State, UTEP

Meanwhile Auburn plays Clemson, Ole Miss plays Texas, Tennessee plays NC State, Vandy plays Northwestern.
The Big 10? A couple teams play Notre Dame (who sucks), Northwestern also plays BC, and Penn State plays Virginia

I'm not seeing a big OOC power schedule from any of the conferences really.

After this year's worth of chewed off fingernails, I'll take a cupcake.

[01101010]

Too early to start drinking heavily?? 

[Paelos]

Too early to start drinking heavily?? 

Only if you see Jefferson passing the ball on the first play.

Les  Miles is still the coach.......

[01101010]

My dark side wants to see LSU lose with Jefferson so I can take a trip back to my alma mater, walk into Miles office and give him the finger for starting this moron over his game managing, and rightful QB, Lee. Still bugs the shit outta me that you start Lee and he does fantastic at the job, they win a ton of games... some of them rough ones, then you go back to Jefferson? Fuck that... Disrespectful. You have 4 running backs so spare me Jefferson gives you a running edge.

That outta the way... time to crack open that case of Duck Rabbit.

[Rasix]

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

[01101010]

Well... that's the end of that. 

Good season... bordered on great, but just couldn't finish. Too drunk to even watch the end. 

[Abagadro]

Congrats to Bama for tying for the top spot of the SEC West.

[Paelos]

Fucking Jefferson.

[Paelos]

Good job LSU on the win. They were simply better than us, as I expected. I seriously hope at one point you may wake up when you play Alabama and put in Lee, but you probably won't. And that might be the reason you lose.

I should have listened to myself.

[Trippy]

Co-national champs?

[Paelos]

So was this game as wretched as I think it was to watch?

[ghost]

So was this game as wretched as I think it was to watch?

It doesn't get much more wretched than 21-0 with an Alabama win on top.

[Chimpy]

So was this game as wretched as I think it was to watch?

I wouldn't know, I boycotted watching anything about the BCS title.

[Paelos]

Welp, now I have to wear an Alabama sweater to work tomorrow. So that's gonna suck.

This sports year is just coming up all kinds of roses.

[Trippy]

So was this game as wretched as I think it was to watch?

LSU didn't break 100 yards total offense so if you are an LSU fan, then yeah

Yep.

[Paelos]

Jefferson is a terrible quarterback and an even more terrible person, so fuck him. I don't feel bad about his whiny ass getting stomped.

Les should have known better. He tossed that kid out there again and again into a meatgrinder. It was dumb and he'll be forever second guessed because he didn't even try to win that game offensively.

When your run game is getting pummeled, go with a mobile QB to give you that EDGE! No adjustments what-so-ever. Granted, they have lived and now died by the rush and wear down your opponent and win the game in the second half. Guess what? That only works on the first go-round. Saban is not dumb enough to fall for that style twice in a season. So yeah... keep your "mobile" qb in there even though you have no working running game to speak of against a defense that knows what's coming... I have disliked Jefferson since he first started. He is terrible in almost every aspect at QB. Look at his stats since he started playing... he almost never throws over 150 yards in any game... but he is your best option? He might be a good TE, but Les threw himself on the fire by going with Jefferson AND CONTINUING TO DO SO. There is no god damn reason Lee should not have put into the game from the second quarter onwards. He is mobile enough to survive that pass-rush and he actually knows how to throw the ball down field. Les Miles... the Mad Hatter forgot who he was and tried to be some sort of traditional coach and fucked this game up from the third series onward. Sorry for the vent, but how you go through that schedule undefeated and then come out in the biggest show of the year against a team you have already seen and completely fuck it up and embarass yourself is simply beyond my comprehension. Shit, now that I say that... Les is truly crazy.
