yeah its not good :) Having Braxton would have helped a little... but not much. OSU's new offensive line is like swiss cheese...Quote:

Maybe Penn State is really good? :)
Don't forget Nebraska having to pull out a basic miracle at the end against a FCS school.
The Big10 is what we thought it is.
...and Iowa had to score on their last possession to not lose to powerhouse Ball State.
What a terrible conference.
Thankfully I was at a wedding yesterday and missed watching most of the slaughter. I just caught a bit of the Penn St game and they looked awful. They couldn't run through a wet paper bag.Quote:

Since it goes before a selection committee, I wouldn't doubt that they do. Probably on the grounds of some b.s. about their strength of schedule or illegal money ;PQuote:

It would be nice if Nebraska's Offensive coordinator could get his head out of his ass. Nebraska could have handled McNeese but he kept calling the most retarded plays. They keyed on Abdullah like crazy so everytime we ran the read, Armstrong was wide open. So what play do we keep calling? Play action pass deep for an incompletion and stall the drive... It was hilarious watching Abdullah break 5 tackles on the run to win the game though, at one point 3 people hit him simultaneously and he was just like, NOPE.
MSU & OSU, as well as Wisconsin prior to the LSU game were the only B1G teams that had a shot at making the playoffs. I just don't see it happening now.
And if Michigan doesn't win at least 9 games, including a win at MSU or OSU, I just don't see how Brady Hoke can keep his job. Or at least get the man a damn headset already. Yesterday was truly amazing for how much talent we have wandering the field.
Swoopes showed off some accuracy, but due to injury/suspension the offensive line couldn't run or pass block, and neither of our talented running backs could do it by themselves... The defense was impressive during the 1st half when our offense was getting some first downs, but in the 2nd half, our offense shit itself and the defense wore down and collapsed. BYU was bigger and faster than Texas and there was only one dual threat QB on the field :(
didn't watch much ball this weekend but damn the B1G is awful. just wow.
William & Mary took WVU to the line last year in that eventual 24-17 win. To come out and take care of business like WVU did is a major improvement. Trickett dead on target at 35 of 40, 3 games in a row of 300+ yd passing. Kevin White becoming the stud we knew he could be. Defense pitches its 1st shutout in years. RB corps proved it truly is 5 deep. Saw a glimpse of the dual threat of Crest. This team should continue to make noise.Quote:
