MN @ UW could end up being for the West. Pumped I already got my tickets.

Notre Dame down 34-10 and Auburn down 35-17.

Highly recommend turning on the Auburn game because you might catch a glimpse of Jamie Erdahl.

Arizona State tried their hardest to blow a 34-10 lead but just scored to go back up by ten, 41-31.

[GB_Packers]

OMG at the end to that Michigan/Northwestern game. Cats score, still down 10-9 so they go for two. QB scrambles a little bit, plants to set his feet and throw and slips, Northwestern loses 10-9.

And we lost to that **** team. Ugh.

[GB_Packers]

Pick six for Arizona State! Ball game. Hopefully now the cries for Notre Dame in the playoff completely die down.

There is still a major SEC bias with this committee.

Alabama is somehow still ranked 5th (ahead of TCU and Kansas State) with their best win being either West Virginia by 10 points or Texas A&M by 59 with their loss being to current #11 Ole Miss by 6.

TCU has already beaten West Virginia on the road (as opposed to a neutral site win for Alabama) has also beaten Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and their only loss is by 3 points to #12 Baylor.

Was watching College Gameday today and they said TCU didn't deserve to be in the playoff because they gave up 61 to Baylor. That's hardly a reason to keep them out considering Baylor averages 50 on the year. They lost on the road to a top 10 team by 3 points. Doesn't matter if they lost 61-58 or 17-14. A 3 point loss is a 3 point loss.

ESPN's bias for the SEC is disgusting. It's a shame Kansas State's kicker was awful against Auburn otherwise they win that game and the only SEC team that would be in the playoff would be Mississippi State.

Lou Holtz will still have them in there because of their "spirited comeback that fell just short."

If there is anything more annoying than the SEC bias, it is the incessant bitching from every single fan I've ever spoken to about it.

Honestly, I think top-to-bottom, the conference deserves its rating for the most part. Throw the 5th best team from any conference in the SEC and they'd get stomped. Throw the 5th best SEC team into another conference and they'd finish way higher than 5th.

The Eastern part of that conference is garbage. The Badgers are probably anywhere from the 3rd to 5th best team in the Big Ten right now and LSU is probably the 3rd to 5th best team in the SEC and we went toe to toe with them in a pro LSU crowd.

Mississippi State struggled with UAB and Arkansas.

SEC East leader Missouri lost to Big Ten dreg Indiana.

They may very well be the best conference at the top but the middle and bottom of their conference isn't any better than any other power conferences middle/bottom tier teams.

That's my biggest problem. The idea that the SEC is a gauntlet every week. I mean Alabama has played Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Tennessee so far in conference. That's not that difficult.

Even Ole Miss has had Vanderbilt, Alabama, Texas A&M, Tennessee, LSU and Auburn. While tough that's not a gauntlet schedule.

[Kerb Hohl]

This year there is some middling poo in the SEC but it would almost be impossible to get a schedule in the SEC as easy as getting Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, and Maryland. I feel pretty confident that none of those teams would win more than 1 game in the SEC.

There are similar piles of crap in the Big 12 and ACC.

I just feel like even though people groan about star ratings, if you put Tennessee in the Big 10 or ACC, they'd out-talent enough teams to be way better than they are in the SEC.

[Mags FTW]

Minnesota's biggest game in a long time and they have a ton of empty seats. Weak.

[Turk Nowitzki]

Minnesota is better than they have been for a few years but that final score makes it look a lot closer than it should've been imo. They will probably match up with us pretty evenly for the axe this year, good year to have the game at home.

[Kerb Hohl]

No idea why CUM sent a guy back to return that kick in the elements. Game is over if you don't have a guy muff a punt with 8 minutes left.

[GB_Packers]

TCU somehow down ten in the second half to Kansas. Didn't see that one coming.

[RRyder823]

And a new FBS record for Gordon. 408 yards and still a quarter to go. Ehh keep him n let him go for 500 lol

[packfan414]

excited for us to roll the gophers. ultimate fair weather fan situation in the twin cities, although i don't think i could have supported that team these past 10 years either

[GB_Packers]

Notre Dame loses to Northwestern at home. Shots of the crowd not moving at all, simply stunned

[Mags FTW]

Of course Brett and ARK get their conference win against the team we lost to.

[DaveMeyers]

Florida State getting all they can take from unranked Miami, but still coming away with a win. Eventually only competing in only one half of a game for most of the season and all of the horrible off the field karma has to catch up with them. Also I don't think Miami will ever be legit with Al Golden as their coach.

[trwi7]

Nebraska's defense is still traumatized from last week.
