    Texas Tech is trying to mount a comeback, nope sorry, it's too late, you should have played well to start the game!

    Notre Dame leads Wisconsin 17-13, in the 4th.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Notre Dame just scored, it's now 24-13 Notre Dame leads over Wisconsin.

    Damn, Wisconsin just threw a pick six, Notre Dame now leads 41-13 with 2:13 to go in the game. I just have to say, the Badgers have played like garbage today at home and the cheese in Wisconsin isn't looking so good right now, this game is over folks.

    Notre Dame - 41
    Wisconsin - 13

    Not a good start today for the Big Ten

    Wisconsin gets rolled up at Soldier Field and Minnesota loses at home to Bowling Green. The Gophers were 30.5 pt favorites

    Georgia Bulldogs won 62-0 today. They were leading 35-0 after the 1st Quarter, then they put in their backup QB and other backups. GO DAWGS!

    They have a great team this season, that defense is rock solid, I can't wait to see how everything in the SEC plays out.

    Penn State is spanking Villanova 37-3, that game is in the 4th quarter, Penn State has a pretty good team this season.

    The " kinky" Lions are doing better! Glad that Sandusky stuff is " behind" them.

    Oh my goodness, Clemson lost yesterday to NC State 27-21, ouch. That's two losses already for Clemson. Times are certainly hard for Dabo Swinney, he was looking pretty rough at the press conference after the game....

  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Swinney was a mess yesterday, his Team was playing terrible and he couldn't seem to stop the bleeding. it's tough when players like Lawrence carry the Team and then leave without a replacement.

    there were several Top 15 Teams that lost yesterday, I think two in the Top 10. expect movement and also some good insight into the voting bias that exists. not everyone loses ground the same when the losses are equitable, but I'd expect Clemson to tumble after a 2nd loss, this one to an unranked Team.

    Go Dawgs, WOOF!!!!!!

    We'll see how the #1 defense in the country does today. Arkansas has a team this year so hopefully this is a good game.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Georgia's defense looks to be the real deal, they have yet to allow unbeaten Arkansas to score a single point, it's 27-0 in the 3rd quarter.

    yeah, Mark, I just saw that this morning. should be an interesting re-alignment with upward movement of some Teams that should improve their possible Bowl Games. I really don't see much to alter the eventual Championship Game which will be Georgia vs. Alabama unless something really unforeseen takes place. I see Georgia winning that one with a possible point total North of 80.

    I know it really doesn't matter but this poll is so dumb. Oregon beats OSU at the horseshoe and OSU is ranked ahead of them? Makes no sense.

    Mark, the voting logic never makes sense. within the Top 10, it is very "Conference decided" exactly how far a Team falls when the loss is under identical circumstances. to carry on the Ohio State comparison, a few weeks back the Buckeyes beat unranked Tulsa 41-20 and "fell" a few spots in the next Poll. the following week another Top 10 Team did the same and moved up.

    on its face, the Oregon comparison makes sense but that movement has more to do with the point we're at in the season. it's always better to lose sooner than later. combining that with what I said above, if an SEC Team had lost under similar circumstances they probably would have only slipped back 1-2 spots instead of five. it is how the voting bias happens until there's some type of expanded playoff. arbitrary voting like we have now is ridiculous.

    all I know for sure is that Georgia and Alabama are currently the best Teams, everyone else is suspect. with the CFP voting, is former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a logical choice to be on that committee??

    Yet Oregon beat OSU at Ohio State. Head to head trumps all especially on the road. Using your logic it makes OSU's loss even worse. After all Oregon got beat by an unranked team and yet they beat Ohio State. Did I mention it was at The HorseShoe?

    Does it? A few yrs ago Ohio State lost to unranked team at home early in the season...And then won the National Championship.

    So Oregon still has a chance. Good to know. Then again Oregon lost on the road in a Conference game.

    All I'm saying is that Oregon should be ranked ahead of OSU right now. For goodness sakes they beat them. Can't get a better comp then that. I'm not talking rest of the way.

  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Mark, while that makes sense to you it is illogical. there are more factors involved than who beat who.

    I recall a conversation from decades ago one one of the NFL pre-game shows. one commentator was taking your stance and the other was explaining the non-sense of it something like this:
    --- Team "A" beats Team "B" by 10 points, Team "B" beats Team "C" by 10 points, Team "C" beats Team "A" by 10 points.
    --- does that mean Team "A" is 30 points better than themselves??

  • BrickBrick Posts: 4,984 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Evidently whoever beat Oregon should be ranked above both Oregon and OSU.

    Oklahoma down 21-7 to Texas right now in the Red River showdown.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Texas just scored again, they are now beating Oklahoma 28-7.

  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    look for more movement in the Top 10 this week:
    --- No. 6 Oklahoma is down 28-7 to No. 21 Texas to start the 2nd quarter.
    --- No. 2 Georgia plays No. 18 Auburn this afternoon. I wouldn't expect the Bulldogs to lose but these rivalries always present the upset.
    --- No. 3 Iowa plays No. 4 Penn State, one of them will drop.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oklahoma is mounting a comeback, the score is now 28-17.

    just a heads up with the Poll Voters in mind: with the score now 48-48, should Oklahoma be penalized in the voting for a game like this against the 21st ranked Team?? I only ask because Ohio State beat an unranked Team 41-20 and fell in the Polls.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oklahoma busts off a run for a touchdown with 10 seconds to go in the game, Oklahoma wins, Oklahoma wins, 55-48!

    Penn State dominated early. That’s the funny thing about college football. Momentum can change in the blink of an eye.
