Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

Oh look. Jeanty went 60+ again.

I thought Devin Neal looked kind of amazing today, too.

Williams is amazeballs. I hope he doesn't drive. Like, at all.

Alabama just got jobbed there.

 

[flyershockey]

This is my nightmare scenario, a useless game in Atlanta against a team they already beat once. Oh and I don't trust the committee not to bone a three loss Georgia team. Either way, this weekend has really changed the entire bracket.

That’s Loeffler. They did Georgia-Texas.

The only situation where I’m ok with a 3 Loss team making it in is a Conference Chamoionship Loss against a very good team. This would qualify for either side to me. But lose 3 before that and absolutely not.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think Alabama is done here so they don’t really matter.

But I’ve lumped them & Georgia in the same bucket as their QB’s have been so inconsistent this year. If the good versions show up they’re as tough as anyone to beat but if not they can be out quick.

Georgia doesn’t have the offense anymore. It’s not just Bobo either. The OL was destroyed by injuries. I have absolutely nothing nice to say about Arian Smith. And I just don’t think Beck passes the mobility bar for modern high end football even if he does stop imploding. They don’t get any easy plays. Everything has to go right.

The last two games have me back on the Beck train. He's been accurate and running at times to keep the second level honest. The problem with the offense is that he's going to gave to play at a Heisman level from here on out. Injuries in general are killing them for a second year in a row.

The 2 point conversion off in OT is so dumb.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Down goes Texas A&M.

@JojoTheWhale I love the lad.

Georgia winning the SEC might save them. Alabama getting in at 3 losses seems absurd, but look at what’s going on behind them. 9, 14, 15, 16, 19 all lose. Boise has to escape against 2-8 Wyoming, though they are not competing for the same spot. There’s only so far they’re gonna drop. Big question is whether or not they land ahead of Indiana.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Can’t believe Arizona State is 9-2.

 

[flyershockey]

I do think the SC/Clemson game next weekend will be a play in game for Clemson, and possibly SC. SC has passed the eye test recently with their DL and QB play.

South Carolina needs Alabama and Ole Miss to lose again. They played both and lost to both. That has to matter.

College OT rules are dumb.

We've seen recency bias creep into these late rankings in the past. How you're playing at the end of the year matters as well.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

People talk about Indiana’s schedule but Colorado’s schedule is weak as hell as well.

They don’t have nearly high enough of a profile for that, and it usually only applies when comparing teams who did not play each other.

It is. They will probably take down OK State this week. Does that slip them into the Big 12 championship game? If it does and they win that game, they'll most likely get into the tournament. Not my favorite scenario to see happen.

College OT rules are dumb.

I liked the original rules. I get why they changed it (reduce amount of plays for safety reasons) but I don’t like it.

 

[FLYguy3911]

That Arkansas-Ole Miss game from '01 that went like 7 OTs still sticks with me. Jason Peters made a ridiculous catch in that game. Great QB matchup too - Matt Jones and Eli Manning.

Matt Jones was a freak. I’d imagine if that profile came through the college ranks now a days they’re not even playing around & putting him at WR/TE right away.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Chipper Jones going after Danny Kanell on twitter over Florida yesterday was hilarious & out of left field.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I actually didn’t know he was 63 years old. He might be a guy that actually stays at Indiana as long as they’ll have him especially at that price.

They gave Tom Allen 7 seasons & he didn’t have a punch above weight type of season until year 4 & 5.
