College football
Looking forward to today's games. Hoping Arizona St. can surprise. The other two games look like they could be toss ups and if the winner of OSU vs Oregon doesn't limp out of the ring it will be hard to see anyone beating them.
johnnydoom I'm curious to see how Arizona St fares against Texas. A few days ago one TV analyst (can't recall which one) was basically saying they have no chance. OSU Oregon should be a great game!
MidwayJ OSU Oregon should be a great game!
With no horse in the race, I'm just hoping for a competitive game till the end. I'll venture a guess that Oregon wins.

MidwayJ I do think Texas is capable of stopping Skattebo about the way Penn St. stopped Jeanty last night if they set up to do that, and think Texas will win with their talent. But, Texas (and every other SEC team this year) was very inconsistent on offense and in some games looked beatable if they would have had solid opposition that day. As it turned out, only Georgia gave them solid opposition and even Georgia looked shaky much of the year. I'm rooting for the SEC. However, I think the chances of either Texas or Georgia getting to the final game is slim unless the Georgia backup QB sets the world on fire. Whereas in the previous two decades I would have bet that the finals would be all SEC most years with this format, I don't think they are that good this year. I do hope I'm wrong though.

That's what I'm expecting, too. Boise St was able to counter that with success passing the ball (and I think even had a chance to win if that TD hadn't been called back), but I have no idea if Arizona St has enough firepower.

I think an all SEC final is still possible (I will be rooting against that, lol). My guess is the final will be the OSU/Oregon winner vs. Georgia. I think Georgia has the kind of defense to stop Penn State.
Anyone else here starting to get “footballed-Out”?
Typhoon Not me. I don't watch the dog 'n' pony show of NCAA football.
When 'kids' are getting offers of $6M to stay in school and play football, but transfer to a different school, something just smells.
Ya wanna be a Pro, join the draft!! Get the fuck outta the way of some kid that will play for nothing. And enjoys the hell out of it. (yes, they are still around.....the 'good parent' kids
)

Ah, that's just your geezer talking. You'll eventually adjust. We'll just get to see how stubborn you are. LOL
Have you finally moved past Woody Hayes and 3 yards and a cloud of dust?
I don't get it. The it I'm referring to is this notion of "loyalty" and it extends into the 'job market' as well. Why expect loyalty when you don't give it, i.e., employers provide few perks for loyalty. Why should their employees? Why, with all the money the NCAA and respective schools from the tv contracts get all of that dough, when we're eons past the one and only perk of free tuition? Why should those - these gifted athletes risk their potential payday in the NFL when their "farm team" only profits off of them?
2 dimes, but defense was not on the field yet.
Hook'em Horns...that didn't take long!

How many Flagstaff U's did ASU beat in order to be here?
If Texas scores less than 60, I'll be disappointed.
Leavett reminds me of Russell Wilson the way he evades the rush and extends plays.
Notre Dame/Georgia postponed.
