2008 College Football Thread

Ya know...its looking likely that USC wins the PAC-10 and goes to the Rose bowl to play Penn St. I really really hope not. .

This defense of theirs is utterly unbelievable. They showed a stat....in 10 games this year they have given up 19 points in the second half of games. 83 points in total. Take away the 21 OR ST. scored in the 1st half of that game and they have given up 62 pts in 40 quarters of football. Mind-boggling. By far the highest rated D in the country. I really was hoping they would get a game against florida or Oklahoma or Texas just to see how well that D stacks up against one of the better offenses in the NCAA.

they just scored again as well...21-0.

And OK State just went ahead of OK 10-7.

14-10 Sooners. this is a good football game.

Sure is... a good old fashioned slug-fest as someone on ESPN called it.

USC up 24-0 at the half. Notre dame has gained exactly 9 yards in the 1st 30 minutes of football. NINE YARDS. Its unbelievable.

[ricoFlame]

21-13 sooners at half. gonna be a sweet second half.

[ricoFlame]

this oregon-oregon state game is crazy. 51-38 ducks with 9 minutes left.

EDIT: 65-38...bye bye rose bowl for the beavs.

[transplant99]

65-38 final.

How do you let a team come in and hang 65 points on you in your own house with a Rose bowl berth in the balance?

Wow.

USC D finishes the game giving up 91 yards of offense, 4 1st downs and 3 pts. 38-3 final and should of been much worse.

This OK/OK St game is dynamite...OK by 3 with lots of time left.

[ricoFlame]

the cowboys are having no problems putting up points, but they can't seem to stop the sooners either.

EDIT: jeezuz, the cowboys just ran back the kickoff. this game is nuts. 44-41 sooners.

Anyone not watching OU/OSU is missing a GREAT game.

Bradford and Robinson are putting on a show. A ton of emotion and a multitude of outstanding plays by both teams. What a game.

I'm really impressed with Bradford's leadership.

in the second half, he can't not get a touchdown...if that makes sense. impressive.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Game over. Valaint effort by the Cowboys.

Couldn't believe KU beat Missouri today. That was a stunner for me. KU has struggled against good teams this season. I know Missouri isn't as good as last year either, but I expected them to handle the Jayhawks easily.

[ricoFlame]

just another 60 pointer for the sooners...their fourth in a row

[corporatejay]

USC v. Penn State
OK v. Bama/Fla
Texas v. Bama/Fla

Cincinnati v. VaTech/BC

Utah v. Ohio State ???


I think Utah v. Boise would be a better game but Ohio would travel better and are a much bigger program.

ummmm that was the students on Texas who did it. If you watched the Texas vs Texas A&M game last night you would have seen the interview with the student.

so the student lied on national TV..... I hardly doubt that considering they were interviewing him about his facebook group of 17000 ppl about reminding ppl that they beat oklahoma.

They may and likely will...but they shouldn't. I just dont see how a team that loses to another team at a neutral site, and that has the same overall record as that team can be ranked higher. It is ludicrous.

yep...the CFB system is just great as is.

Wow, if both polls put UT in front of Oklahoma then they have a chance, I would have thought both polls would allow Oklahoma to jump over Texas.

SC's only chance is if the Big XII north wins the championship.
