NCAA GDT: Week 12

[Sports Enthusiast]

One of those things is not like the other. Punish Oklahoma for a close win over a ranked opponent? C'mon man!

Why not? A third stronger. We're talking about a guy who is never realistically supposed to see the field.

i miss the 1-AA football threads we used to have here. had some good discussions. now 1-AA football talk with everyone involved. just seems to get lost in the thread.
wasnt sure UNH would get in honestly. thought those 2 bad losses early in the year to Deleware and Stony Brook.
probably one of the worst offenses we have had here in a long time.

Haven't really been paying attention lately (App is already getting votes in the AP Top 25 WOO), but I did check out the brackets today. They seem to be throwing out the "avoiding rematches" rule. I mean, William and Mary and Richmond could potentially play twice in three weeks.

You know even though the rankings aren't out yet its not impossible for Ohio State to Stoll make the playoff. I'm guessing they'll still be in the top 10 towards the bottom. Iowa losing to Nebraska isn't unrealistic. ND loses at Stanford. Again hardly unrealistic. Iowa beats Michigan State. OK State beats Oklahoma. Ohio State wins out. Maybe Baylor losing to TCU but I think the committee would take a one loss Big Ten team before a Big 12 team not named Oklahoma.

Guess you forgot about the team that could be in the new years 6 bowl in navy

And when you look at Navy's record they haven't done much to impress either outside of a upset against Memphis

 

[chasespace]

Well they will probably beat Stanford on the road. So that will be a better win and the Navy win. Also doing it with a ton of injuries.

And Florida is healthy? We're also missing our starting QB

and that memphis team beat ole miss who you said was a big win over for florida

florida has beaten 4 sec teams under .500, new mexico state who is under .500, florida atlantic who is under .500, east carolina who is under .500

so 7 out of their ten wins are against sub .500 teams. sure georgia and ole miss are great wins as well as Tennessee but lets not act like navy doesnt compare to the other leagues on who they have played

navy has wins over 8-3 air force, teams over .500 in memphis, uconn, south florida. so navy has more wins over .500 teams then florida does

now lets be clear, navy is not in the same league as florida but when 3/4 of florida wins are against sub .500 teams, whats the difference"?

And Memphis lost to Houston....who lost to Connecticut.

 

[hockeykicker]

And Memphis lost to Houston....who lost to Connecticut.

so if we are gonna punish navy for that then why not punish florida for 7/10 wins vs below .500 teams?

thats why things dont make sense on this stuff. you win the games you are given. if we arent saying florida should drop for playing all the below .500 (sure sec, blah blah blah) teams then we cant do it for other conference teams

and the awful OL we're fielding...and Bullard and VH1 being out...on down the list...

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

ND should be #1 in the country with their brutal tough schedule

why are we even playing out the season...just hand them the trophy...just go get Larry

I agree but its all we have to base things on. Teams won't make real schedules if they don't have to because one loss can mean your season. Florida can solve all their problems though by beating Alabama.

Going to a third stringer in college is not typically the crippling blow that it would be in the NFL. I seem to recall a third stringer winning the national title last year.

Iowa loses to Nebraska
Michigan St loses to Iowa
Notre Dame loses to Stanford
Alabama loses to Auburn
Oklahoma loses to Ok St.

Ohio St beats Michigan

hey…I can dream

Iron Bowl Week baby! Definitely the largest rivalry in the South, and maybe nation. Love beating Auburn and I think we'll do just that this year.

My 'other' team is playing Northwestern this weekend, so who knows how that'll go.

Roll Tide ya'll.

That's not exactly what is needed. You left out Baylor to TCU. UNC can beat Clemson I think. Florida's offense has been awful but I think that D if they stop Henry can get mistakes from Coker.

Would disagree with the nation. The only time I can ever think of that game meaning big things for both teams is 2013. Ohio State/Michigan has had more on the line more than once.

That's why I said 'maybe'. I've noticed that the Iron Bowl seems to be a lot more hatred, plus it's between two teams in the same state and having ZERO professional sports.

Michigan/OSU is between two more historically relevant teams (thanks to Auburn...), so that's why I think it's typically a bigger game.
