Dread Pirate Robert Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Come on, Pitt! Let's beat Notre Dame in Indiana! :P ND once again scraped by with an unimpressive win against a mediocre team. They are going to end up in the play off, only to get crushed there. LOL ;) Edited October 14, 2018 by Dread Pirate Robert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Grats to Tennessee for finally getting a conference win for the first time since 2016. The Vols ended an 11 game SEC losing streak by beating Auburn. Auburn will be plummeting way out of the rankings with this 3rd loss. They were ranked in the top 10 in the pre season polls. Always fun to go back and look at the pre season polls as the season gets older, so many of the initial predictions turn out to be extremely wrong.Yeah, sadly, I think the Penn State predictions are going to turn out to be too optimistic. They have to find a way to not fall apart in the fourth quarter. :( Edited October 14, 2018 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The South Carolina Gamecocks started the season with a lot of hope, but have had an extremely disappointing season so far. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Pirate Robert Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Like it or not, hate it or not, say what you will about their schedule, I think it obvious that Alabama is THE team to beat this year. Bama doesn't just beat opponents, it whips them in just about every facet of the game. Darth Saban has truly built a formidable Dynasty at Bama, and this team seems to be his best ever to me. He is likely to get another NC this year . . . Yeah, throw Central Florida into the playoffs to shut up the CF fans. Let them play Bama. It would likely be a blowout by halftime in favor of Bama. DS has perhaps created the greatest Dynasty ever in college football. Can anybody think of a past Dynasty to challenge that?

Can't see anyone touching Bama, having all their classic big men on both sides plus a great passing QB. Previous teams were at least (relatively) low-scoring, giving hope.

pjbear05 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) My friend Mr. Chit (Ho Lee) makes another appearance as Purdue mauls Ohio State, 49-20. Brutal! Unbeatens now down to 5 ('Bama, Clemson, Notre Dame, UCF, and USF. That'll be reduced by a least one on 11/23 when UCF and USF clash.

It's poor sportsmanship to run up the score against an honorable coach.....so today's blowout doesn't apply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Even if he was an "honorable" coach, did Clemson run trick plays or throw way down the field after the game was well in hand? If they just ran their normal plays and Maryland couldn't stop them, it's not Clemson's fault. Should they just take 3 knees and punt each time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Pirate Robert Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) this will be the least interesting NCAA champ race finale in history. Bama is that good. zzzz... I agree. They left LSU in their wake as so much roadkill. I don't see anybody beating them at this point. They are just too good in every phase of the game. Still -- there is always hope. Even the best teams can have a bad day. For Bama to lose, it is going to take a combination of them having a really bad day by their standards combined with some other team playing at the top of their performance potential.

Since then, big wins over Wake Forest, NC State, Fl State and Louisville. Impressive scores indeed, but mediocre opponents. We'll have to see how things shake out.

goose Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Bama reminds me of the UNLV basketball team that ended up losing in the finals to Duke. Who was the better team was not in question, just who would win. Win or lose, Alabama is heads and shoulders above every other team talent-wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNLV beat Duke by 30 in the 1990 final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
