General 2013 NCAA Football Season Thread

Post #361 » by **Da Schwab** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 6:12 pm

Big games this weekend:

#24 Wisconsin vs. Iowa (suck it, hermes)
#21 Michigan vs. #22 Michigan St.
Navy vs. #25 Notre Dame
Georgia vs. Florida
Tennessee vs. #9 Mizzou
#18 Oklahoma St. vs. #15 Texas Tech
#7 Miami vs. #3 FSU

I'm really looking forward to Canes/Noles. This is the first time in about a decade that this game has major national repercussions. The only way the Canes have a real shot is by having their defense be absolutely on point, because their offense has no shot at scoring enough to keep up.

Other than that matchup, this will probably be a relatively boring week.

Vegas doesn't think much of it as the Noles are 22 point favorites

I agree though in that this is the first relevant game in a decade between the two schools

I have to agree with Vegas here. Miami will get trounced i think. thats a pretty big number...vegas is trying to encourage bets on the Canes..which seems to mean they think it will be an easy cover for FSU

I think FSU beating Miami will give us more musical chairs at the top. FSU will jump Oregon this week. Then, if Oregon beats Stanford next week, they'll jump FSU again. Ultimately, I think if both of these teams finish undefeated, they're playing for the national championship. I just don't see Alabama finishing undefeated.

It might be hard for Alabama to remain undefeated, but right now they have returned to being completely dominant....so my guess it's still more likely that less likely with finishing unbeaten.

And yes, I agree that fsu and Oregon are likely to play leap-frog overreact the next few weeks..

No matter what, we are heading for a great final month of football.

Let the debates begin....lol

I think FSU will jump Oregon if its an impressive win over Miami. depends on the polls really. I think computer rankings will stay where they are. Miami has not impressed lately so if its a close win...voters may not be impressed either.

I think Bama will make it through unscathed. they have a test against LSU... but I think they are head and shoulders above the rest of the SEC. Auburn is not that good and the SEC championship game will be a formality.

field position looks to be the name of the game

hermes · Post #369 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 4:23 pm

that was a sweet grab by bullock on that screen

hermes · Post #370 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 4:43 pm

good defense on both sides

tricky wind has led to great field position for the hawks so far but nothing much to show for it

hermes · Post #371 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 4:49 pm

anyone see braxton miller's shovel td pass, that was crazy

hermes · Post #372 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 5:18 pm

darn

there's the big play, someone always seems to find their way behind the secondary

I'm sorry I have to say this, hermes, but f*ck Ferentz for using all three timeouts before that field goal.

hermes · Post #374 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 6:15 pm

i couldn't believe it, didn't even think you could do that

must be the nfl where you can't call back to back time outs

can't take them with you i guess

hermes · Post #375 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 6:20 pm

dang it

I'd just like to know what it's like to have a big time QB recruit. You'd figure with all the great RBs and OLs Wisconsin can snag, that one day they'd be able to get a QB to make it all complete.

I know we had Russell Wilson for that one year, but I'm talking about getting a real recruit.

hermes · Post #377 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 6:29 pm

come on hawks need some offense

hermes · Post #378 » by **hermes** » Sat Nov 2, 2013 6:30 pm

do you think qbs kind of avoid it because they know the focus is going to be on running the ball and power football so they figure they can go somewhere else because a lot of other places are going fast paced throw it around a lot?
