2010/2011 NCAA Football Thread

[smoknn]

How is Auburn 8 and Arkansas 11? Arkansas' loss to Alabama is alot better than any of Auburn's near losses to above average teams. (No South Carolina doesn't count. They're 'signature win' came against Georgia. Who is 1-4. The Southern Miss win is actually a more impressive win at this point.)

I had Florida a tad lower. Miami should be a tad higher. Michigan State at 17 is a joke. They're undefeated, just like Auburn and LSU (numbers 8 and 12). And their win over Wisconsin easily outweighs any wins by those teams.

When is the last time UM and MSU played and were both ranked??? When is the last time they played both as undefeateds???

The coaches must be high. Cuz they obviously didn't notice Northwestern almost lost to a horrible Minnesota team. And how is Texas still at 26??

Kansas State deserves to be higher than NU and Missouri.

auburn is the most underrated team in the nation..they have a better team than the numbers show...not to be took light...and south carolina has also got a smooth team...i didnt see boise #3..but i also dont see them dropping after winning ...and im still not sold on oregon...stanford was overrated..a good defense..is going to give oregon hell

im jumping on the ducks bandwagon...their gunna run through the pac-10...hopefully play bama for the title

My Daddy always says "If a duck can pull a truck you better hook'em up"I'm just saying

Missouri doesn't belong in the top 25 either.

True

Miami should be a tad higher.

I agree.

Schedule looks real good for Oregon from here on out. They play a patsy this week then get a week to freshen up for what should be a fairly easy 4 game stretch before another week off.

But I'm not crowning my Ducks just yet. Every year without fail the moment I decide they're title contenders is the moment they end up taking a huge steaming dump
...so no premature celebrations this year.

You can't blame Dennis Dixon

Missouri doesn't belong in the top 25 either. They'll be seriously exposed when they begin conference play. I wish it was not the case since I am a Tiger fan but I am also a realist. The polls are a total joke, always have been and always will be.

Besides, in the end it won't matter. There will be Alabama and then there will be whomever gets to be their sacrificial lamb in the NC game. No one in the country comes close to matching them talent-wise....sorry y'all but there's a huge gap between #1 and everyone else this year. Pretty boring to be honest. Oh well, at least I have a chance to see if the Hurricanes can run the table the rest of the way. History says they won't but that's the hope I'm hanging onto right now.

shhhh jagger stevie may be tuned in...this next game got my neck hair standing up...ill be a nervous wreck till this one is done..i still think south carolina is better than we know yet

You're so right Sky. THAT was the year I was sure they were BCS title game bound, but when Dixon went down it all came unglued.......... :crying:

Well, if you guys fuck things up you deserve what you get. With the talent level you have, if 'Bama doesn't show up to play one week because they've been too busy reading their own press clippings, that's the only thing that can stop them in my view. And yes, I agree, Spurrier has very quietly assembled an excellent squad at SC but they shouldn't be able to hang with Alabama unless you let them.

Actually, nothing would thrill me more than if you guys stumbled and lost to someone. I despise Nick Saban and would love to see some controversy this year so go ahead and lose....perfectly OK by me! I just don't see it happening.

Newton is a man-child 6'6' 250lbs QB :surprise:What the hell

 

[smoknn]

his way of getting what yds that are needed on 3rd down is amazing..keeping the drive alive

 

[young_guns]

he was trying to come back too early and lead his team, cant blame the guy for being a warrior...go ducks!

 

[Ace Bandage]

Purdue has a bye before we start conference play. Hopefully, that means that nobody will tear an ACL this week.

Yeah, funny story about that...

So even with the bye week, Purdue's #2 WR managed to re-injure his sprained ankle in practice and will be out for at least two weeks. Awesome.

No I'm not blaming him at all, and yeah Go Ducks!

For real?
omg :1orglaugh
Why is God angry with the Boilers?
Is it because Neal Armstrong and Gene Cernan desecrated the Moon?
Or is it the unusually high level of student body dorkiness? :1orglaugh

I'm hoping that this negative karma will be eventually be rectified when our men's basketball team wins the NCAA championship. If mediocre football players' dreams have to be destroyed for this to happen, so be it.

Sorry. The entire basketball team will have ACL injuries this year. And next.

That's not even funny to joke about. I would cry...

Speaking of the next 2 weeks.....if they hold any hope of making a bowl, they MUST win the next two games. I actually think they could win in Evanston. And Minnesota might be better off with Craig T. Nelson coaching them.

If I could fire Monte Kiffin and yank the scholies of all our pathetic LBs--I would :thefinger It's crazy to think that USC had 4 NFL starters at LB and followed that up with a quartet of LBs who couldn't cut it at a JC

Oregon and Stanfurd are going to bend my Trojans over and tap our asses til we give run up the white flag :weeping:

I only hope we have enough left to beat ND and ookla. That's pretty much our season at this point.

Boise getting passed by Oregon is a bit laughable considering Boise beat Oregon at Autzen and at the Field of Dreams recently :wave2:

However...Oregon's offense is the most fear-inducing in the nation because it looks like they play on goddamn roller skates :shocked:

An Oregon/Boise grudge rematch in the Rose might not suck..or Oregon v Okie in the Rose would be a ***** game too....

This week..we have THE BIG ONE

THE U vs Skyraider State Seminoles

I am predicting another chapter in this legendary rivalry will be written this week :yesyes:

Hey that Ducks defense showed up as well Saturday night lets not forget they held Stanford scoreless the entire second half so we might get to see a complete Oregon team sooner or later.For the U vs. Skyraider State Seminoles like the OU game here is another chance to set the tone but this time we can do it in conference play.3-0 in what I think is a weaker Atlantic division could really help,this is a game I feel we could win if our efense keeps the pressure on Harris and force mistakes he (Harris) has 8 INTs this season.
