PrintTo discuss Cal-UCLA, the postgame thread should be right above this post. This thread is to discuss the remaining college football games this Saturday night.
Here's the schedule for the rest of the day. Both Furd-Arizona and Washington-Arizona State are pretty significant , since it's hard really to distinguish between the four right now--are they big time threats or small potatoes? Hopefully we'll start to find out after watching them.
Also, some of you might want to talk about the baseball playoffs. This is also the place for you weirdos.

Ha USC barely wins
I wish we’d have played USC that close or at least beat them
In other words, Go Bears!
Yes
I think watching the real #1 team would be very interesting.
Since we’re predicting upsets, I’m going to say this right here: Alabama loses to Tennessee next week. Also, I strongly suspected that Arkansas would beat Florida, and in a way, they did. They just didn’t beat Florida + The Officials.
I’m always happy when the Pac-10 wins out of conference, so hooray for USC. I’m also happy when Notre Dame doesn’t go to a BCS game, because their individual contract with the BCS is complete bull-honkey. So, double hooray!
In fact, with Cal winning may I get a Hip, hip, hooray!
Just need one more loss to knock them out of the BCS picture completely.

I have to say
I am angry that Florida won, but I am neutral to content that USC won. It makes Cal’s loss more acceptable, makes the Pac-10’s chances for a 2nd BCS team more likely, and legitimizes the conference’s depth a bit more.
Feel free to disagree, but if Cal’s victory today marked a re-birth, we want and need as sympathetic a view as possible on our two losses. If Oregon loses and USC wins out and heads to the MNC, the Rose Bowl may look much more favorably on Cal’s bid for a RB than Oregon’s, even with the head-to-head loss.
I don’t think the head-to-head loss is ever going to get trumped.
But, Oregon can lose games still. Will take a lot more injuries to their core players, but it’s not in the books.
STAY THIRSTY, MY FRIENDS
by Thoroughbred on Oct 17, 2009 4:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Disagree
The Rose Bowl, if it’s selecting at-large, has total discretion to take a team so long as they’re in the top 14(15?). Unless for some reason Oregon is #3/#4, Cal’s history gives them a strong chance. Don’t forget Kansas got beat by Mizzou, but still went to the Orange bowl.
Let’s stop worrying about the BCS. Our chances are very minimal right now and we still don’t know how good UCLA is.

He is, but he should not be getting as much Heisman hype as he is getting. I was once pretty much the only supporter of Lou Holtz in the entire world (ND sucked last year, so he shut up). I have started to hate him this year because he won’t shut the fuck up about Jimmy Clausen.

It’s the Big-10.
While I actually like Iowa and want them to win out, I don’t trust the Big-10 until it proves it can actually win against teams with a pulse
In other words, Go Bears!
They beat a decent Penn State team and a decent Wisconsin squad. While Ohio State continues to embarrass the conference nationally, I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss Iowa outright. They are at least as legitimate as some SEC teams that play NOBODY outside their conference or any Big East team that plays in that pathetic 8 team conference.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Decent Wisconsin? I’ll beg to differ. Who did they beat? Fresno St?
Penn St is decent but they’re not all that IMO.
In other words, Go Bears!
Wisconsin is competitive against whomever they play, that to me, like South Carolina, counts as a decent win. Not great, but respectable. And, I believe it was on the road. Could be wrong.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Ah, well, @PSU is tough, always. Anyway, given all the carnage, Iowa is just as deserving as say Boise State to be in the Top 10.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Do you think Boise deserves to be in the top-10. This is the same team that struggled against Tulsa. A team that Oklahoma w/o Bradford blew away
In other words, Go Bears!
No, I don’t. But, look at the losses, it’s pretty hard to keep Iowa out when they are undefeated, have won at PSU, and have an OK OOC win against Arizona.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I never said I don’t think Iowa isn’t a top 10 team. Personally I’d put them near #5. I just said that I still don’t think they’ll do well against teams like USC or Alabama. I think they’ll fold like every other Big-10 team. But I want to be proven wrong because I like Iowa.
In other words, Go Bears!
I know good playcalling, I had the pleasure of listening to two of the best in Buffalo for many years, Rick Jeanneret for the Sabres and Van Miller for the Bills. Starkey is not on either man’s level, but he isn’t as terrible as his detractors make him out to be.

That’s completely unfair to Texas Tech. They’re a third tier team recruiting in their state, after Texas, Oklahoma, and every national school worth its salt. That they should even be involved in big games is an accomplishment.

I agree that James looks better than Blount (I don’t know anything about Barner). Blount had the habit of disappearing for a game and getting like 5 yards on 8 carries (see Oregon @ Cal 2008 or Oregon @ Boise St. 2009)

Heh, wrote this after the Oregon-UCLA game.
Redshirt freshmen LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner (who scored the kickoff return) could be supplanting Best and Vereen as the most potent Pac-10 running back duo. No offense to Blount, who is a physical horse, but he lacks the speed and agility of these two guys to make moves into the holes and cut in the spread offense. James continues to impress with the spinning and the juking, and Barner has pure velocity that can terrorize any defense he faces

I sometimes wish we played Deboskie more because I think he has skills as a runner that Vereen and Best don’t have – the ability to move a pile and get 4 yards on every play. But they have a hard enough time getting enough carries for the top 2. Plus, as far as I know Deboskie isn’t ready yet. But I’m excited to see him get to carry some of the load.

Technically their football team probably has been the best performing sports squad in all of Seattle. National title with one of the greatest college defenses ever, another bid eight years ago…18 postseason wins…I think they might be the second winningest program in the Pac behind USC.

Huh. Well I guess it’s changed now as I don’t see anything remotely close to that. Well maybe it’s got something to do with where I’m living but I’ve had my CA license plates since the summer. Don’t plan on changing it till December along with my license when I turn 21.
In other words, Go Bears!

It’s a Horizon turboprop (Dash-80 I think) you’re thinking of. Seattle has quite the aviation history with Boeing and all that. Alaska/Horizon pretty much dominate Sea/Tac so it’s a nice little marketing thing for them. I think I also recall an Oregon painted plane as well.
It could be. I only know a few planes by name. And I saw this in the Alaska terminal so you could be right.
In other words, Go Bears!
Also another thing I noticed
When I was flying out of the San Jose airport I’ve noticed a small private jet plane (Learjet?) with a San Jose Spartan tailpaint. Does Cal have one? How the hell does SJSU afford a private jet?
In other words, Go Bears!
Their defense
is giving a cushion too. But their secondary is much faster at getting there right after the ball. Not much yardage after catch for ASU.
Are they trying to run out the clock while in a tie?
34 seconds and counting, 3 time outs, and running plays? What?
Yeah didn’t really get that by Sarkisian. Should’ve played for overtime.

He WAS playing for OT.
I meant he should have tried for a FG.
Did that seriously just happen?

Sarkisian looks so sad.
It's seriously too bad that there's no building or complex around that might have a large supply of sports drinks.
What is with these Pac-10 defenses???
Draw play on 3rd and 17 going 60+ yards to the house?
Deep throw with :12 left in a tied game?
What’s wrong with these teams???

ASU! ASU!
On the hail mary… crazy.
Now someone tell me – why the HECK did UW not use their 3 time outs? That just seemed like horrible clock management, horrible.
I think Sarkisian is going to be horrible at game management… he just seems dumb.

Not yet. Our players don’t go completely mental and start killing people until about 20 years after graduation (based on an n of 1).
You’ve got to get out in front of the jokes when it comes to OJ. It’s not like he’s defensible in any way, shape, or form.
No, I’m saying it outright.
I’d be pretty disappointed if, hypothetically speaking of course, I were facing murder charges, and my lawyers were to say to the court, “No actually, he’s plainly guilty, and we’re not going to waste everyone’s time with a charade designed to obfuscate his obvious guilt and introduce an unreasonable doubt to what is otherwise an ironclad case.”
What a crazzy ending to the UW-ASU game. Did anybody else see Ericksons post game interview. He seemed so indifferent. “Ya, man I dont know what happened there. We just threw it up and I guess we won, thats cool.”

Erickson: 3 Timeouts!?!? You have 3 timeouts and you do that?!
It's seriously too bad that there's no building or complex around that might have a large supply of sports drinks.
Yeah, my feeling about the interview was a bit of Erickson thinking that Sark has a lot to learn.

I just noticed that Erickson looks really old. Like SUPER old; I don’t think the Arizona sun is agreeing with his skin.
He's 28.
It's seriously too bad that there's no building or complex around that might have a large supply of sports drinks.
I think he's one of the most evil-looking coaches I've seen.

Oklahoma
Everyone is going to crucify me for still ranking them, but they’re going to fall 10 spots to 25th for me. The bottom of the poll is a mess. There isn’t really anyone else that deserves it. I’m not going to put Central Michigan or Idaho over Oklahoma. They’ve had three losses, sure, but I just can’t drop them.

That isn’t crazy to me, they lost to three good teams. However, I would be surprised if they didn’t lose a couple more games.

My poll is different. USC was ahead of Ohio State until USC lost to Washington and Ohio State had pretty much rolled everybody since.

Honestly, I looked over the wins and losses today and I don’t know if I have a full complement of 12 teams for my Mumme Poll ballot. This season has just been so… lukewarm.
