Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

I never doubted TCU for a moment

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I can't get over that sequence.

Run for 3 on first down.
Spike it on second down with 17 seconds left.
Run for 1 on 3rd down.
Kick a FG with a running clock with under 5 seconds left.

A false start ends the game.

Bananas.

It sucks a little bit TCU is undefeated because they are absolutely not one of the 4 best teams in college football.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Wat.

What was that ending?????!!!!!?????

Kicker redemption!

That was the worst third down play call with no timeouts of all time. Kicker didn't even get a chance to set and still makes the kick.

Lolz. Coach says they practice that. I call BS.

They might practice it. I don't think that means it's a good idea though.

Every 2nd Half is a heart attack with this team. No matter how ridiculous that was, to win that game in Waco, against a very good defensive coach, in a rivalry game, without their 3 best players for an entire half is completely absurd.

While we're at it, they benefited from the terrible, awful substitution rule too. That shit needs to go yesterday.

If the playoff was about finding the 4 best teams, you could write off everyone outside of 2 conferences in August now that we're in a world where the Clemson offense doesn't exist.

Maybe Riley in USC changes that, but they're not better than a down year for Bama right now for example. I'd take literally any two 8+ win teams over a CFB rematch. Even Iowa.

Iowa? Whoa, let’s not say things we can’t take back

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I guess while we're at it, how the hell can 7-4 be disappointing at Illinois? They should have at least 9 wins.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

Let's cheat, to make sure Michigan wins so the game against osu is a big showdown. Said the big 10 and it's officials lol.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

#3 and #4 teams win by a combined 3 points this week.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I'd like to bet a dollar on Iowa since I'm kinda sure they'll win, but I'm also pretty sure they won't score.

Which reminds me, remember the absurdity that was the Bennett fumble in the NC last year? I know you do but I need to phrase it that way.

I randomly think of that play probably once a month. It couldn't be recreated if we tried.

Ohio State wins by 20 next week and probably more, their offense sucks even with Corum.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Stoops has done an unbelievable job with this program, but Javon Bullard immediately recognizing the first play pre-snap is not the best portent. Especially after that Kickoff mess.

*Edit* Levis is going to cause fistfights in draft rooms. Sheesh.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think next year when we do this we should use point spreads. Everyone betting 10 on every game has kinda made this no fun.

If there’s like 15 games or so we should do 1-15 in confidence points & you can only assign the number once.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Man I can’t wait to see Nick Singleton with another off-season in a college under his belt next year.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I'd like to bet a dollar on Iowa since I'm kinda sure they'll win, but I'm also pretty sure they won't score.

The rare 2-0 win on a special teams safety?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

New Hampshire tried to give me a stroke today but they pulled out a 42-41 win in OT over a 2 win Maine team when they got a 2 point conversion stop in OT. 8-3 and headed to the FCS playoffs

Ohio State wins by 20 next week and probably more, their offense sucks even with Corum.

Screw Ohio State

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Both Michigan & Ohio State have banged up running back rooms right now. Obviously Michigan is much more reliant on their run game than Ohio State.

Henderson is back today for Ohio State but might not be 100%.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Guess it’s one of those weeks where the top 4 all get scares.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

@JojoTheWhale Abdul Carter #11 LB for Penn State looks like a guy to watch over these next few years. Granted he played LB before college unlike Parsons but he’s having a better true freshmen season.

Also Parsons probably would have been a beast in Manny Diaz’s havoc based defense too. Brent Pry was more conservative of the two.

But Carter is looking like a freak.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Watches one episode of Yellowstone….

 

[Chinatown88]

I might be a hater but if this guy is QB1 on your team's board, I think some of the esteemed posters on this forum should be GM instead.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Maryland just cut Ohio State’s lead to three in the fourth quarter 33-30.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Maryland had the ball down 6 with 42 seconds left and couldn't protect Tagovailoa with 3 OSU rushers.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Ohio State holds on. Both them & Michigan get into tough fourth quarter games today before their matchup next weekend.
