I was pretty confident about Colorado, but Washington was super impressive this weekend.

But I am confident in Wisconsin.

Bedlam baby!

 

[HisIceness]

The SEC Championship is going to be another snoozefest.

ACC game might be close until halftime and then Clemson will probably put it away.

B1G game I'll watch. First appearance for Penn State so theres that.

Pac 12 should be a good watch. First time for both teams.

Also Bedlam should be fun. Oklahoma State won the last meeting in Norman IIRC.

 

[John Price]

I vaguely remember that one too. Big ou choke in fourth.

I thought you hated Bucky?

Not at all...just dislike that one specific school up north.

I hate PLAYING Wisconsin because they are never easy. Ever.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Malik Zaire granted his release.

 

[GKJ]

Does Notre Dame have another big QB recruit that Zaire wouldn't just stay and wait for Kizer to leave?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Graduate transfer. He can play right away.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Pitt is the favorite. Apparently N.D. blocked his transfer to Michigan State.

Blocking transfer locations is so dumb. Let the kids decide where they want to play.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

All because they play N.D.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Apparently all restrictions are off now. So he's prolly going to state

Appalachian State (off), Troy (@Georgia Southern) and Arkansas State (@ Texas State) are all tied for the Sunbelt lead at 1 loss apiece. Troy beat us (**** that game), Ark State beat Troy, and App/Ark State don't play this year, so if everyone wins, then the title is split. If Ark State loses and Troy wins, Troy gets the title on the strength of the head to head tiebreaker. If Ark State wins and Troy loses, Ark and App State split it. If Troy and Ark State lose, we win our first FBS conference title.

I think we're in good shape to at least get a share. I don't see Ark State losing @ Texas State. GSU could beat Troy, but a 3-way tie is no different than a 2-way tie to me.

Sunbelt gets a conference title game in 2018 which is a good thing because nobody likes shared titles.

The committee was embarrassed by MI ST getting blown out last year so if WA loses, right or wrong, they will put MI in.

B1G title game tickets for $11.50 on StubHub...

B1G title game tickets for $11.50 on StubHub...

not surprising considering that the b1g is ass

/me hides from all the b1g homers

 

[PanthersPens62]

Speaking of the B1G........

Wisconsin, you are the last team of the season to be put on upset alert.

Season: 6-9

It's just not a big draw. They haven't come close to selling out any of the games I've watched even though 4 of the 5 have been announced as sellouts because fans of the teams would much rather save their money for a trip to a bowl game in Pasadena or somewhere in Florida in January than a trip to Indianapolis.

Maybe look at changing the venue? Does it have to be played indoors?

Why not look at taking it to Lambeau, Solider Field or US Bank Stadium?

Or at the end of the day, does it really just come down to fans wanting to spend their money on a warm weather bowl game?

I tell my brother this all the time. He's a Michigan fan that always complains that the B1G bowl games are all in SEC territory.

Yeah! Let's go to Wisconsin/Michigan/Minnesota for vacation in January! (said nobody)

The only way that it would sell out is if it was on a campus site imo. Nobody is going to be like let's go to Indianapolis in December when we can just save that money for a bowl game in Florida, California, Arizona etc. in January.

Row the boat!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

And its the last weekend of Duck season in Wisconsin! The game will be nationally televised so screw going to Indy.
