    Its almost like strength of schedule has an impact on how many injuries a team has and talent levels have an impact on how many opt out for the draft. Congrats to Southern Cal for barely beating a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers that still would have won if they didnt drop that pass early

    USC was missing almost their entire starting lineup on offense. Bad loss by Texas A@M.

    Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

    The werent. They were missing some backups and a couple okay guys but by no means was the loss anywhere close to the amount of talent sitting out on the other side or having to play a backup defense. Southern Cals biggest loss was Moss who they gave up on to early with Riley using him as a scapegoat and had already benched him several games ago.

    Scourton and Turner are both highly touted picks that sat out, both could be first rounders and at least one will be if not both. Combine that with Stewart as well and the injuries and transfers and yea Southern Cal should have been scoring every drive

    HAHAHAHAHA

    Here's a decent article about the game. Once again, USC had a ton of players out. They were in
    worse shape than A@M and they still won. https://www.outkick.com/betting/aggies-take-down-usc-missing-key-players

    Mizzou beats Iowa even with the weird coaching decisions at the end of the first half. Cook really put that offense on his back missing his elite WR and best tackle

    Iowa's not really a hard team to beat considering they have no Quarterback. The Missouri kicker won the game. He will be playing in the NFL.

    Ward did sit out the second half, they had a deal for him to play the first half. As bad as Miamis defense is they almost certainly win that game if Ward played the whole game

  • bgrbgr Posts: 1,951 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I was going to mention that he only played a half but it really didn’t seem pertinent given both the game flow and that it was 31-28 Miami after that half. If it was like 31-7 or something and the Cyclones stormed back in the 2nd half against Miami with Williams at QB I wouldn’t have mentioned it. Becht deserves credit for some clutch 4Q big plays.

    And we are on the cusp of maybe the best 2-day stretch of College Football all season. Should be some great games played and some interesting banter at the Sports Forum. I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation of some epic "dodge and weave" as the day wears on!! >:)

    Just for the record:
    Penn State over Boise State.
    Texas over Arizona State.

    Notre Dame over Georgia.

    Ive been saying it for almost two years but I will repeat it again. I will never understand how the University of Alabama has decided Milroe is who should be their QB for 2 years. The guy is a RB pretending to be a QB that will try his hardest to loses games at least a couple times a year. Some NFL team is going to draft him way to high because he will look incredible at the combine and my condolences to whatever fan base that happens too. Anthony Richardson 2.0

    The ND Georgia game will just depend on if Gunner can avoid making stupid throws. Even in the short time he played after Beck got hurt he had an amazing throw and a stupid one that resulted in a turn over. The couple weeks to prepare should help but hes a wild card

    All the pressure is on Texas for sure and ASU knows it and will be playing loose with nothing to lose. That could be a more interesting game than people are expecting

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 3,704 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Milroe is so bad. Guy cant even throw a 1 yard swing pass without the receivers having to jump for it. I fully understand why they hate him with how many are open and he either cant find them or misses them

    Its extremely rare you can blame 1 player for a teams failure but Milroe is 100% the reason why they are losing

    Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007

  • bgrbgr Posts: 1,951 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Maybe it’s 99% Milroe and 1% Michigan. Give them a little credit.

    Maybe they’re glad they didn’t draw a powerhouse like Duke.

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 3,704 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Can we make a rule going forward that at least one team in a bowl game has to have a good QB

    That was absolutely brutal to watch and the worst combined QB play I have ever seen in my life aside from 7 year old pop warner football.

    Hopefully Milroe had money on Michigan because he is 100% of the reason they lost

    Didn’t you hear? Milroe bet on Michigan to win. BB21 broke the news.

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 3,704 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Bama played great. Defense was great, 13 points were off of Miroe turnovers, Milroe was taking sacks when he had 5-10 seconds to get rid of the ball, Wrs were wide open all day Milroe just couldnt find them and when he did he was inaccurate.

    Ive never seen one player so responsible for a teams loss other than maybe Caleb coming close a couple times with the Bears.

    I guess some blame lands on Deboer for not benching Milroe, but other than that that loss is all on him. Alabama was the better team and played better in every aspect and Milroe said if you think the Michigan QBs are bad hold my beer and let me show you something

    You give the other dadgum team 16 points.
    You play the 1st quarter in a hurricane.
    And you have a clodhopper for QB.

    But in the end, we had a chance and Michigan stopped us.

    Now another weak team beat a better team, Illinois over South Carolina!! Colorado got smoked by an inferior team and Miami lost to an inferior team.

    Maybe I'm in the minority but I see all the pundits finally seeing the chickens come home to roost. They have been heavily touting everything that goes on in the South Eastern part of the NCAA Football world, it's unraveling before our eyes.

  • fergie23fergie23 Posts: 2,147 ✭✭✭✭

    Yet again the players on the field showing how wrong bb21 is.

    Alabama and South Carolina both shown to be mediocre teams with no legitimate claim to be in the CFPs. Looks like 3 losses should be an eliminator for any at large team.

    You would think it would be humbling to be wrong as often as bb21 is, but he will just keep happily spouting nonsense.

    INI

    Illinois played an excellent game… there were some unusual moments. Not sure whether Beatty made it to the end zone followed by McCray’s so called fumble. Huge break for South Carolina.

    I seriously doubt many thought both Michigan and Illinois had a much of a chance to win.

    First it was Lane Kiffin from 'Ole Miss criticizing the CFP committee, then it was Nick Saban taking a swipe at Ohio State fans, then Kirby Smart from Georgia complaining about the CFP committee and finally we have Shane Beamer of South Carolina pulling a wildman act during his teams loss to Illinois.

    Do these Head Coaches know they look like whining little babies?? How is it that they are the leaders?? It's embarrassing to the NCAA.

    If they hadn't made all the mistakes they made and scored fewer points than their opponent, they'd have won.

    Alabama trailed the entire game. Michigan's best players on both sides of the ball didn't play. Their quarterback - who sucks - got hurt. And their defensive line still dominated.

    Maybe, just maybe, a team that went 8-3 in a not-great conference featuring no Heisman contenders, wasn't that good.

    In Beamer's defense, Bielema taunted Beamer during an injury. Beamer overreacted but Bert was way, way, way out of line.

    Bama had plentty of starters from injury and opt outs. Milroe the game theres no doubt about that.

    If its a not so great conference than why did they have a winning record against the B!G during the regular season before opt outs?

    Belima was an a hole who should have been flagged and then took advantage of a dumb rule that he can just run players on and off the field over and over slowly forcing a time out.

    That rule needs to be fixed. I dont care who does it you shoudnt be able to force a delay of game or a time out by running guys on and off the field for 30 seconds while the play clock runs. Every team should just do that every play until they fix it. They had two waves of substitutions and he knew what he was doing and was laughing about it

    Yeah, he sure did. What we don't know is what was being said by Beamer from the sideline while Bielema was attending his player. As for the substitutions, that's what all teams do. If South Carolina wouldn't have waited to send in substitutions late after a play then Illinois would have been substituting quicker. It's the gamesmanship that takes place during pretty much every game. Beamer got out played in that regard.

    The inexcusable part was going bat-crap crazy and running onto the field so you need to be restrained. That's just plain stupid.

    South Carolina would have won if they could have performed. That dropped pass late in the endzone on 4th down was the death knell, then they had them stopped with a chance to get the ball back and let Illinois outa the hole, sealing the win.

  • coinkatcoinkat Posts: 23,317 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The S Carolina 4th down play was great call and just poorly executed. The replay really captured what a poorly thrown ball that was… it would have been great catch. Carolina had opportunities but frankly they were just out played and out coached. Carolina did not deserve to win period.
