I'm pretty sure at this point that if we could play even average pass defense, this team would be capable of making the playoff.
Also, every ranked Pac-12 team lost this week. Parity strikes again! This is why I hate the playoff system (and the BCS before it); it turns what would have been an awesome fun race for the Rose Bowl berth under the traditional system into something lame. This happens way more often than not. Instead of rooting for drama you have to root for a boring season where one team just dominates.

Right now its gotta be: -FSU -Auburn -ND -Baylor
But probably only FSU has a decent shot of going undefeated of those four.

How about those Mississippi Teams!!!!!!!
Yeah, I don't really give a shit about college football or either MS State or Ole Miss. I didn't go to either school and most of their fans are utterly insufferable on a good day. Ole Miss fans are generally that shithead frat boy in Dockers (or whatever pass for Dockers these days) who dress like it's prom at every home game and get utterly piss themselves drunk in "THE GROVE" before every game so they can end the night date raping their sorority girlfriend. State fans tend to be slightly less "upper class twit" douche-y but still fuck them Dawgs, their school is located in the ass end of nowhere and the cowbell is their football mating call. Both are ranked #3 and I'm already sick of all the TV stations around here thumping their chests at the success. I get a chubby just thinking about the sadness that will come once they achieve true failure by losing at homecoming to some creampuff they scheduled to make their home fans feel better about themselves. I'm sure Ole Miss will lose to Vandy and State will lay an egg against Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. But hey, having ESPN locate their College GameDay crew in the state 2 weeks in a row gets us some tax money so GO US?

I am worried. A number 10 ranking is not deserved for beating an entirely overranked and injury plagued Oregon team. Sure, we're the last undefeated PAC12 team , but we've got big, big flaws. Plus, now that ASU handed USC a very humiliating loss, USC will be extra-motivated to prove they have the better recruiting class/atheletes/potential pros than us.

And LSU finally falls out of the rankings. I am hoping Miss St is just that good this year. I won't feel as bad...

Georgia still has a QB who sucks and a defense that couldn't stop Vandy from scoring what? 17 points? Except for South Carolina whose defense is even worse (HOW THE FUCK DID WE LOSE TO THEM AGAIN FUCK YOU DEFENSE AND HUTSON MASON YOU SHITHEAD), that's the most points they've scored against any SEC team.

So was there a game that mattered that wasn't decided by the officials today?
I saw: -ND handed the game against UNC by some questionable as shit calls. -Auburn get their back broken by a offensive pass interference (that I could live with tbh) but that call hardly represented "the way the game was called" or the way any ncaa game is called. -I fell asleep after TCU went up by 21 but the highlight package of the comeback seems to all revolve around some pretty crucial flags to setup the win for Baylor.
I guess Mizzou got shit on in the morning, but who cares.
The spot on that 4th & 1 try for Arkansas was complete bullshit, I'm not sure if he had it but the spot was a good half yard off.
I haven't been watching NCAA much in the last few years because its corrupt low quality ESPN determining the rankings bullshit but I'm curious about the playoffs this year. Forgot how sketchy the officiating always seems to be in college games, was a huge reason I decided to stay the fuck away.

At least in the Arkansas game they had every chance in the world to beat Alabama regardless of refs. They just sucked. TCU didn't get burned by refs either. TCU's up 58-37 with 11 minutes left. The refs didn't hand them 21 points or stop TCU from getting a burning the clock by not getting enough first downs. Auburn got facesmashed for 21 in the first quarter. Don't want to lose? You don't give up three TDs right off the bat. The UNC game, yes. I'd agree ND got the classical late calls that saved their asses.

So since 2 Mississippi teams are somehow in the conversation for a national title and club soccer was on an international break, I decided to watch the two MS teams play this weekend. College football has changed a bit since I last watched it and I used to root for Ole Miss. I figured I'd root for both this weekend. Yes, I'm a bandwagon fan.
So this Aubrun QB is in the Heisman running? Why... exactly? He's athletic but he made some shitty passes. Prescott made some equally shitty decisions just that State's defense didn't allow TD's off of them. Speaking of defense, holy shit, State's defensive line is mean. They absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage. Auburn's was good, State's was better and State's defensive backfield was better. There are going to be a good number of NFL players coming from the State defense.
Ole Miss wasn't really as impressive offensively as the score would indicate but they didn't make many mistakes. Their defense was also really good. One thing I did notice is that Speedy Noil, the wideout for A&M... he's really fucking good. If he stays healthy, he's exactly the type of speed merchant/punt returner NFL teams like to grab.
Looking at both these teams schedules, I'd put more stock in State winning out then Ole Miss. The Rebs have to go to Auburn late in the season and then play State. If they don't lose one of their cupcake games, they'll probably lose one of those.

Of the two I think MS State is better. Also, they are less likely to have a QB implosion. Bo Wallace is likely to turn into a pickoff machine at least once.

You wouldn't necessarily think that if you'd only watched the two games on Saturday. But I tend to agree with you if only because I know of Ole Miss's history with QB's not named Manning. Apparently, they recruit on "heart" and "grit" instead of actual skill at throwing the ball.

Yeah if I just watched Saturday, I'd say Bo Wallace is a world beater and that MS State probably loses to them. Thing is I watched Bo play Boise State for 3 quarters like he was supposed to throw to the other team. And wake up in the 4th quarter and say, OH YEAH WE'RE BETTER THAN THESE GUYS.

I wanted FSU to lose that one because now they won't lose at all in the regular season. The ACC is a fucking joke.

Yes dance to Disney's bullshit little monkey. The Big12 and ACC have been the latest targets of marginalization by the ESPN/Disney machine once they had finished off the Big10. For the past 5 years or so the Big12 and/or ACC (depends on the year obviously) have football teams that are way fucking better than their bullshit ranking and the results in bowl games have backed that. I mean the Big12 is fucking themselves by not having a conference championship game right now which means probably only TCU or K-State can make the playoffs now, even if WVU ran the table from here on out I bet they wouldn't make it without a lot of help. But its also the fact that ESPN is already trying to setup a two SEC team (and dreaming of 3) playoff. As for the ACC, it looks like it might be a "down" year since VT has fully self destructed and Clemson just won't have any more chances to prove itself since South Carolina is having a bad year. But to discount FSU because the ACC is so weak is fucking pitiful they've got something like a 70% winrate versus power five teams in recent years. Its not their fault that Will Muschamp is a fucking clown and UF is in the shitter so they'll be denied a chance to end the year with a big statement win. MSU has beaten one real team so far in Auburn. They have beaten two teams (LSU and A&M) that might be no better than: Wisconsin, OU, Stanford or Va Tech. This is the most bullshit example so far this year of SEC teams must be amazing for beating other SEC teams who were amazing until they lost we've had so far this year. You want to tell me they are a "lock" #1 team voters? Fuck off.
