NCAA GDT: Week 12

[Kyle McMahon]

I'm not sure how Notre Dame's schedule can be criticized. Michigan, Stanford, USC, Northwestern, Vandy, Ball State is their "out of conference" schedule. Other than Ball State, there are no guaranteed wins in there, not by a long shot. Compare that to the utterly laughable SEC practice of scheduling a guaranteed win for every team right as we head down the home stretch here. Citadel, Liberty, Idaho...just an absolute joke to schedule these teams outside of September. Notre Dame's schedule is an order of magnitude tougher than Alabama or Clemson's. I've never liked the Domers, but they are full marks for being a playoff team. No doubt they are one of the top 4 teams.

He blew up as a senior. Kinda screwed Penn State once Georgia got their paws on him.

meh. hes a georgia kid who became pretty much the top recruit in the country. always gonna be tough to get someone like that away from georgia. psu's fall back qb recruit levis has apparently impressed in practice this year.

Mizzou with close to competent officiating against South Carolina and Kentucky are 9 and 2 with their only losses at Bama and Home against Georgia. They should be a borderline top 10 team.

But they have to play the SEC the rest of the year while other teams don’t. So there’s that.

Mizzou curb stomping Tennessee. Love it. Especially after the annual week leading up of “Mizzou isn’t good enough to be in the SEC” that comes with every Mizzou/Tennessee game

The SEC has plenty of easy outs, just like the other conferences. And they do not play a balanced schedule either. Certain SEC teams will have much tougher schedules than others due to nothing more than randomness. Team A in the SEC East this year could have (maybe did, I'm not going to check) end up with Alabama and LSU as their cross-division games, while Team B may have got Arkansas and Ole Miss. Team A could reasonably claim tough conference schedule as an excuse for playing mutts as their out-of-conference opponents. Team B certainly could not.

No they shouldn't. They blew the South Carolina game.

Michigan player getting stretchered off the field after taking a dirty headshot while covering a kick return.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

What horrendous clock management from West Virginia. Lost a good 15 seconds and will finish the game with a timeout still in their pocket. That is just inexcusable.

Okie State is singlehandedly doing in the Big 12's playoff hopes- first Texas, now WVU

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

2 trips to the redzone zero points. Poor clock management in the first final 2 minutes. WV has no one to blame but themselves

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

f*** Indiana football. Pathetic excuse for a program. 4 major cheapshots in this game.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Lol when Mike Gundy's teams have a transition year, they always pull a couple of these wins out.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Good news there. Hopefully not as scary as it looked and stretchering him off was more precautionary than anything.

Playing up and down to the competition- lost to Baylor and K-State.

how does SC not fire helton after this season?

and i know daniels should still be in HS but i just don't see anything special

He's probably fired.

technically helped us. We win out, we get winner of WVU-OU next week. oops read this wrong.

 

[Tony Romo]

that should help us steal a 5* from mater dei

 

[c9777666]

Helton basically HAS to beat Notre Dame to salvage anything. But that's not lookign likely.

Pretty brutal. Losing to Cal & UCLA in back to back weeks. Those are games you have to win if you’re Helton & feeling the heat. Now you’re probably going to get beat handily by Notre Dame to finish the year 5-7.

 

[HoseEmDown]

D held on the first possession but that turnover for a TD is not the way to start on offense. Not sure how many stops the D will get can't give them free points like that.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

That's just very bad lack of awareness on that TD. Ball has to be gone in two seconds or less if you're passing on your own goal line.

Play calling is poor as well. They have a good back and they haven't tried to run it once. When Milton is off he's bad and he's off so far today.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I had no idea Cincinnati was 9-1 lol. Kentucky fans have to be sick at letting Ridder go right across the border.
