Bye Week Open Thread
And to think, my Thanksgiving weekend was going so well.
I drove down to San Diego on Wednesday to visit the in-laws for Thanksgiving, had a lovely dinner, got some drinks with some of her friends, did some holiday shopping, and watched Battlestar Galactica for the first time. I even taught my mother-in-law how to play Wii for the first time. That was fun. I was going to drive back to the Bay Area this morning, hoping to get back early enough to catch part of the Civil War, and then help a friend move on Sunday, but alas, it is not meant to be. Found out late last night that my car refuses to start, and I don't know why (already tried jumping it). Gonna call AAA in the morning, but until this gets figured out, I'm stuck in Southern California until further notice. No plans, nothing to do but sit around and watch a bunch of football today.
So, anyway, here's what I'll be watching:
Broadcast TV:
#22 Georgia Tech @ #11 Georgia, 9:00AM - CBS
Auburn @ #1 Alabama, 12:30PM - CBS
#4 Florida @ #20 Florida State, 12:30PM - ABC
#3 Oklahoma @ #12 Oklahoma State, 5:00PM - ABC
Four rivalry games featuring seven ranked teams, and I'm really only expecting Oklahoma at Oklahoma State to be close. An upset Cowboy victory would straighten out the Big XII South and send Texas Tech to the conference title game, leaving Texas the luxury of sitting around and waiting for a BCS bid. Oklahoma, on the other hand, could use some style points to stay ahead of Texas; simply beating the 'Pokes may not be enough to get them to Kansas City. Either way, I think the only way Texas is denied a BCS bid is if Oklahoma wins, but so poorly that Texas passes them, where the Longhorns somehow lose to Missouri in the title game.
Meanwhile, Alabama and Florida get tuneups before the SEC title game, though, as the cliché goes, rivalry games can be unnecessarily difficult. I think both the Crimson Tide and the Gators assure themselves of a BCS berth simply by winning today.
Basic Cable:
Virginia @ Virginia Tech, 9:00AM - ESPN
South Carolina @ Clemson, 9:00AM - ESPN2
Kansas @ #13 Missouri, 9:30AM - Versus
Maryland @ #21 Boston College, 12:30PM - ESPN2
Baylor @ #7 Texas Tech. 12:30PM - Comcast Sports Net Bay Area
Kentucky @ Tennessee, 3:30PM - ESPN2
#23 Oregon @ #17 Oregon State, 4:00PM - Versus
Notre Dame @ #5 USC, 5:00PM - ESPN
I hope you get Versus; if you don't, find a friend (or a bar) that does. With a Rose Bowl berth on the line, I'm expecting this Civil War to be a doozy; let's say ... decided late on some clutch (or not-so-clutch) field goal kicking. If that doesn't sufficiently intrigue you, know this: in all likelihood, an Oregon State victory sends Cal to the Holiday Bowl, while an Oregon upset kicks the Bears down to the Emerald.
The rest of the slate features some surprisingly non-intriguing rivalry games. Battles in Virginia and South Carolina just don't compel me, and calling Maryland at BC a rivalry only proves how screwed up the ACC expansion was. I will be shocked if ND or Baylor comes within 4 touchdowns of USC or Texas Tech, and the thing that puzzles me most is this: Tennessee has, like, 4 different rivals in the SEC (Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Vanderbilt), and they end the season with Kentucky? Kentucky? Maybe I'd care if it were a basketball game...
Pay-Per-View or No TV:
Syracuse @ #16 Cincinnati, 9:00AM
Washington State @ Hawai'i, 8:00PM
Cincy has already clinched the Big East title, making their home game against Syracuse even less compelling. Meanwhile, Wazzu mercifully ends its season in Hawai'i, which is a pretty nice consolation prize for such a terrible, terrible season of football.
Oh, and when the Civil War is done, since I'll still be stuck in SoCal, I'll turn to my trusty ESPN Gametracker to follow the finals of the Global Sports Classic featuring:
California vs. Florida State, 7:30PM
In case you hadn't heard, the Bears topped UNLV in the tournament's opening game last night (no, those two games last week don't count) 73-55. I especially liked Jerome Randle's line:
18 points on 5-11 shooting, including 4-5 beyond the arc and 4-4 on free throws, 6 rebounds, 8 assists to only 4 turnovers, and a steal.
5 Bears scored in double figures, and the Cal defense held UNLV to less than 30% shooting. They take on 6-0 Florida State tonight, and while I think this is a game the Bears can win, they haven't yet played back-to-back games this season, so we'll see how well the defense holds up on tired legs.

QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO WERE AT BIG GAME
What the heck happened on our failed PAT? They never really showed replays on TV. It looked like Nate got the snap down fine, but nothing happened. As in the kicker never even started his approach, so then Nate rolled out.
I know it wasn’t a fake PAT by the way the OL was blocking. So it definitely wasn’t a fake, but what the heck happened??? Did anyone get a better look? I didn’t even see the play, I was busy rolling up people.

Harrell is the best of the Big 12 QBs, and maybe McCoy is right behind him (Oklahoma and Nebraska QBs typically end up in the shitter). But it depends which offense he gets put in. I usually don’t like big college football QBs making the leap to the NFL though, you can just look around and see the carnage.

winning the bowl game is very important for recruiting, next year’s preseason rankings, and going into the offseason with momentum.
I’m thinking an Emerald Bowl matchup against an ACC team might be a good matchup for this years squad. Knocking off a Big 12 team would be awesome but it might be a smidge unrealistic.

I was torn between who I wanted to win.
I wanted Oregon State to win because:
(1) Pac-10 gets 2 teams into the BCS
(2) Each Pac-10 gets more $$$ for getting two teams in the BCS (over $1 mil per team)
(3) Cal goes to higher bowl and gets more $$$
I wanted Oregon to win because:
(1) I like Oregon better
(2) I don’t think OSU is worthy of the Rose Bowl
(3) Cal faces an easier opponent in the Emerald Bowl rather than the Holiday Bowl and thus more likely to win the bowl game.
(4) Better for recruiting to finish season with a win.

I’m glad that despite being 3 miles out of bounds, the refs still called it a TD. That’s Pac-10 officiating for you.

they kept
fouling us instead of letting us shoot threes…frustrating.
Almost a miracle comeback.

watching this gamecast
has been amazing… who knew 20 seconds of clock could take 6 minutes to play?

Close loss to a good FSU team
looks good come tourney time… With how shitty the Pac-10 is shaping up to be, I have hope. This team seems gritty and fun. No stars (though I bet Randle, Christopher, Robertson will all outplay some stars at some point)… just team basketball

Montgomery having an instant impact. Less talent, but this team already seems to have more grit, heart, than last year’s edition. The sign of a good coach.

i dunno
I think PChris can be a star. He was the biggest recruit from the Ryan Anderson year – and he has shown flashes.

I'm just saying none of them are stars known to people outside of Cal fans
I think he’s mega-talented. And Theo’s clutch.
I really like this team for some reason. I just have a good feeling about them, despite the obvious size deficiency on the front court.

Crazy Sun Bowl scenarios
Assume both USC and Cal win. USC goes to the Rose Bowl. Holiday has the choice of Oregon or OSU. Seems like it would pick Oregon, but it could go nuts and pick OSU. Then Oregon falls to the Sun Bowl, but the Sun has that “no repeat” clause, so it could reject Oregon, and next in line is Cal.
Or, USC loses, OSU gets the Rose Bowl, USC still barely grabs a BCS at-large, Oregon goes to the Holiday, and Cal goes to the Sun.
I would not bet a dime on either scenario.

The Sun Bowl has a “no repeat” clause? Or are we just saying they are less likely to take Oregon since they were there last year?

The Sun Bowl cited that last year as the reason they picked Oregon over OSU. I was shocked too.

Holiday Bowl said outright that they would choose the winner of a head-to-head. So no OSU over the Ducks in the Holiday bowl scenarios I think.

About the only thing I could see changing their opinion is if one team is higher in the standings than the other.
But that shouldn’t really change anything.

If USC wins:
USC: Rose Bowl
Oregon is going to the Holiday Bowl, ensuring a total of about 95 for whatever Big 12 power they face.
Oregon State: Sun Bowl
Cal: Emerald
Arizona: Vegas
If USC loses
Oregon State: Rose Bowl
USC: at-large BCS bowl (I don’t think they’d drop enough from their final loss to fall behind Ohio State)
Oregon: Holiday
Cal/Arizona: Sun/Vegas.
This is assuming Cal beats UW. If Arizona loses to ASU there’s the possibility ASU takes their spot in Vegas, but I’m not sure.

I can't ever root for UCLA
I guess I’d make an exception for Rose bowl berth possibilities… which is actually a VERY likely scenario in the future
