Week 13 Games Discussion 

Post#1 » by El Turco » Sat Nov 22, 2008 8:46 am

lots of games with BCS bowl implications this week and besides the mammoth game in Norman, most intriguing one should be in Utah between Utes and BYU. If Utah wins they might jump in to top 5 but they didnt have much luck against BYU last couple years.

Penn St plays Michigan St at home and winner gets at least the share of big 10 title, PSU would also get the Rose Bowl berth. if MSU wins, then Ohio St goes on to the Rose Bowl unless they lose their last game.

Meeechigan comes in Columbus for which should be the most anticlimactic game in rivalry history. Rich Rod and his second string walk on QB should be well introduced to the rivalry with an azz whooping beyond recognition but OSU rarely blows out division one teams. but then, calling Michigan a DI team would be unfair.

Oregon St or OSUjr i like to call them, goes on the road to play Arizona. they are a good team at home but shaky on the road, so this may be the biggest hurdle for them on the way to Rose Bowl. it would be fun to see an OSU-OSU game in Rose Bowl but i dont think MSU will get the job done, therefore Oregon st needs to lose so that Ohio st can get USC s at large bid.

Pittsburgh-Cinncinnati game is likely to decide Big East champ and Maryland-Florida St should decide who plays against GTech in ACC title game.

Oregon State "struggles on the road"? Our last road game was a 34-6 thrashing of UCLA and we handled Washington in Seattle pretty well a couple weeks before that (not that that is much of an achievement). We've also won our last 3 games in Tuscon, so there is a good track record for OSU not struggling there. OSU struggles early in the season. But after the 5th game of the season they are always very strong. I'm not saying that today is going to be a cake walk. But Arizona's strength is their run offense. Well, guess what...OSU's defensive strength is against the run. We shut down their run, like we normally do to teams, then we should comfortably put another win on the board.
This space needs to be filled with a new sig...but I'm too lazy to make one.

5-0 at home, 2-3 on the road, i would say that is struggling. UCLA sucks and Washington sucks even more. that being said, i would expect OSUjr to win today but if they lose i wouldnt be surprised.

Pryor's first big mistake of the game. Michigan can capitalize.

i never seen a more pathetic team than this season s Michigan team. on the flip side, with their offense, OSU better hope for some crappy, defensively challenged team in their bowl game.

i wouldnt mind seeing ohio state make the rosebowl against oregon state. that would be a great matchup, i would think th at ohio state would defeat them and take the rosebowl crown. penn state vs. oregon state, i would think that oregon state would win. it is very difficult to defeat a team twice in one year.

i'm looking to go to another bowl game. not to belittle the rose, a great game. but the rosebowl titles are piling up, and i would like to see a different venue. if things go down the road i'm expecting, we would move up the ladder and into another BCS bowl game.

Watch how Tebow run up his stats against the Citadel. I hate it when they schedule a BCS team in the middle of the season. They should have just played them in the beginning of the season.

easy as 1-2-3, just like expected. as much i enjoy embarrassing Michigan year in and year out, it is a shame how far this game has fallen last couple years. OSU might wanna start looking for a new rival.

i wish there'd be a 3 way game to battle for this year's supreme OSU, if osu wasnt in such a tough conference they might be in a bcs bowl playing one of osu or osu

didnt realize Washington and Washington St is playing today. #118th team vs. #119th team, combined record 1-20(only win against Portland St.), both teams average less than 14 points per game and give up more than 40 a game. this has to be one of the biggest toilet bowls in recent history.

I dont know why LSU is so bad doing the 1st half. Finally Jarrett Lee is out. He is really horrible. Jordan Jefferson is a way better QB than him.
