OT: Official NCAAF rivalry week thread

[AtomicDawg]

WAAAAAAAA HAWRBABY MAD

76-61 Pitt-Syr. I had to check if that was football or a basketball score!!!

You think the raw score is crazy...look at the stats...Pitt's QB completed just 9 passes, 4 for TDs and 27+ yards per completion

Bama offense better get used to this, they face a tough defense in Florida next week too.

Ohio State still need's penn state to lose. Penn State will find a way to lose.

No, the Buckeyes are in no matter what. They are the 2nd ranked team with a very impressive resume.

As a matter of fact, most of everyone I know is rooting for Penn St to win and play Wisconsin next week, where they almost certainly would embarrass themselves. As you said, they may not even make it past lowly 3-8 MSU.

It would be a travesty if Michigan drops out of the top 4 because of this game. Don't be results based. Go with what you see.

Like the people who had Minnesota over the Patriots in their power rankings after the Patriots lost with a broken third string QB.

What???!!!

They've now lost two of their last three, and barely squeaked by last week at home.

Losing twice (both in the Big Ten) plus not even playing in the conference game will certainly knock them out, as it should. There's no room for them.

The only way Ohio state is beating Alabama is if they over power them like they did 2 years ago. If anyone can come up with a plan to do it, it's urban Meyer. Really the only way to beat bama though is by throwing and JT just doesn't look like the same passer he was 2 years ago. USC has easily been one of the 4 best teams since October. Qb should go number 1 overall after next year if he decides to come out.

Agree. They aren't going to drop after beating the 3rd ranked team. I do feel reguardless of who won the game today that both of those are top 4 teams, but Michigan is probably done. I hope Clemson loses. Michigan has been the better team this year

Luckily for them. Florida has an inept offense this year. SEC is overrated. Big 10 has been the better conference this year. There's a media bias that the sec is the only conference that gets athletes and it's so false

Harbaugh is being a whiny little baby but he is wrong. That was a first down, fair and square.

Ohio State is actually sitting pretty if Penn State wins. They will be a lock for the playoffs and they get to skip next week's Conference Championship Game. But if PSU loses, then OSU plays next week and if they lose next week, they probably fall out of the top-4.

Ohio State people are rooting for PSU today.

Alabama's defense is absurd.

Gators have too many guys out on D to make that a game. Anzalone's loss alone is a killer.

They lost to Iowa and they lost to Ohio State. They shouldn't go to the playoffs over a 1-loss team from a power-5 conference, so they should be behind Clemson and Washington.

Michigan may be the best of the 2-loss teams but there's no way they should stay in the top-4 ahead of a 1-loss team from a power-5 conference. They need Washington or Clemson to lose. I also don't think they should be ahead of a 2-loss Big-10 conference champion, so they should arguably be behind the PSU-Wisconsin winner (if PSU and Wisconsin win today that is).

The SEC has the best team in the nation: Alabama. But beyond that, they are atrocious. By the end of next week, they likely won't have a single team in the top-15 (besides Alabama).

 

[AtomicDawg]

Dalvin Tomlinson is the unsung stud of this Alabama defense. Definitely a Sunday player.

Agree, Alabama probably is the best team, but hardly tested

I can't see them being ahead of Wash and Clemson if they both win and only have 1 loss each..

Brian Kelly is an awful coach. I've had enough of him

Crazy that Sam Darnold is just a redshirt freshman. Kid could be scary good.
