OT: All Purpose NCAA Thread.

[Asnito]

Game of the year

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Who would have thought an Ed Orgeron coached team would be involved in the highest scoring game in FBS history.

 

[Ruck Over]

Time to pull out the measuring tape and drop pants. Resume battles and NY6 games on the line.

 

[Asnito]

Also Ogeron joins the very small club of coaches who have gotten the Gatorade shower only to go on and lose

 

[Ruck Over]

I wrote the Aggies off about 4-5 times during these OT periods.

I didn't. I kept the faith. Of course, I just started watching at the 5th OT, so not that much invested. But still, I never doubted TAMU.

I will give props to Coach O though. The running down the sidelines to call a timeout, those were impressive. Especially like the smirk after the 2nd sprint.

Utah is losing to BYU. This would be a pretty horrible week for the PAC-12. Their last hope of a playoff team goes down & their championship game could feature a 9-3 & 8-4 teams.

 

[Asnito]

The LSU lose helps PSU but that P I in the 7th OT was weak.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Pitt lost today too. So the ACC championship game will feature an unranked 7-5 team. They can’t even try to smoke & mirror that one for the casuals.

I fully expect Northwestern to get slaughtered too but they at least took care of business & will remain ranked heading into that one at 8-4.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Utah came all the way back to win.

 

[Ruck Over]

So part of me wanted to see the Utes lose cause it'd embarass the Pac-12, which I would enjoy. But I don't really care for BYU, even though they are a blue team, especially playing against a red team. Seeing the comeback is fun though. Let's see if BYU can rally a TD+2 to tie this up.

 

[Ruck Over]

Utah came all the way back to win.

Isn't there a minute left or something? Not that I doubt the outcome.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Isn't there a minute left or something? Not that I doubt the outcome.

1:43 but it’s been pretty lopsided for over a quarter now I wouldn’t have much faith in BYU getting back in this one.

 

[Ruck Over]

1:43 but it’s been pretty lopsided for over a quarter now.

Take a step back for a moment. For the hell of it, there was just a 7 OT game tonite.

 

[Ruck Over]

Post dated like on the Utes coming back to win.

Minus points for Petty song played in the background.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Lovie Smith got a contract extension & Mack Brown is gaining steam for the UNC job.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Clay Helton is returning next year.

 

[renberg]

Clay Helton is returning next year.

Ugh

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

So you got these jobs officially open:

Power 5:
- Colorado
- Louisville
- Maryland
- North Carolina
- Texas Tech

Group 5:
- Bowling Green
- Charlotte
- Massachusetts
- Texas State

 

[Asnito]

Clay Helton is returning next year.

That one is a head scratcher.

 

[YEM]

What'd I miss in the LSU game? I turned it off after LSU intercepted it with 50 seconds left

sorry but lol

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

That one is a head scratcher.

If it’s true that Helton has a buyout north of $15M I don’t really think it is honestly. Even big programs can’t piss money away like that. It probably prices you out for any top tier candidates when you combine all the money required to do so altogether. So it is really worth it to make change for the sake of change? Helton isn’t amazing but he’s not bad either & you can certainly do worse. He did have a really young team this year so he very well could get back to the 10 win range again next year. If not the buyout is probably more manageable after next year.

 

[Asnito]

Who's D is better Michigan or Mississippi State? For my money they're the top 2 defenses in the country.

I think I want to amend this

Miss State allowed 12 TD's in 12 games with 4 against Kentucky and 3 against Bama so I'm going to go with them.
