NCAA GDT: Week 3: Alabama Comes to Get Down, Get Out Badgers' Seat and Jump Around

[Romang67]

Hey, Texas A&M has a Swedish tight end! And he has a TD today! What a time to be alive.

I get it. Probably should have left out the 60 point L they took to Georgia because I had a feeling this was the response it would prompt.

Again, no one is arguing this FSU team (or their orange bowl iteration) is the same roster that was under consideration for the CFP last year. Just pointing out that FSU did not have the caliber program that can survive their star QB going down and still deserve to be in the CFP.

Sounds like you don’t disagree with me, if you don’t think any of last years CFP teams should have been left out?

Well, no, Florida State was a power conference champion, they should've been in. It's led to the potential destabilization of the conference simply because the quaterback got hurt. The injury caveat is in the apparent process of evaluation, which apparently is grounds to completely dismiss the body of work that existed, which was that they won every game they played.

Otherwise, no, they're not that caliber of program, but they are, or were, a major conference. When Cincinnati got into the playoff, they did have to put more than one season together, but they were also a G5 team.

Just happened to see that Iowa is losing to Troy

I was one of the ones last year who didn't think much of them. BC ran up almost 500 yards of offense on them, the only reason they didn't blow them out is they took something like 18 penalties. Duke was beating them and going in for another score when their QB got hurt, and the backup was horrible. And they got lucky in a couple other games as well.

If they did get into the playoffs they'd probably have been crushed by whoever they played. All the whining and nonsense with the playoffs, the embarrassment of the GA game, and now this - wow.

Backyard Brawl has been phenomenal so far

 

[GKJ]

Did anyone see if they showed the Jump Around at the 4th quarter in Wisconsin?

There’s no tradition like showing Wisconsin fans doing the Jump Around while the team is getting the brakes beaten off.

Speaking of such games, Notre Dame came in pissed off obv. 52-7 in the 3rd over Purdue.

Oregon beating the Beavs, 39-14 as they score to start the 4th.

 

[GKJ]

Texas A&M 20, Florida 0 at half.

Florida:
3 1st downs
7 rushing yards
7:14 TOP
Alternating quarterbacks

 

[GKJ]

Florida offense looking warm to start the half. Had a long touchdown called back.

Tulane is giving Boomer Sooner everything they can handle

 

[GKJ]

Graham Mertz throws a pick 6.

33-7

Pitt in the red zone

The Cougs upset the Huskies in the Apple Cup

 

[GKJ]

Pitt wins to go to 3-0

At this point I just expect him to swipe Mahomes’ SSA #

 

[Tony Romo]

Ewers gets hurt, but at least I get Arch

We also have a joke of a schedule until OU, so that’s fine.

 

[End of Line]

Kentucky about to get f***ed by the review

Does he play like Mahomes too?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Shadeur looks good...putting the ball right on the receiver in stride, fitting in tight windows.

When he has time he's just lethal

 

[GKJ]

Georgia?

If FSU’s QB never got hurt last year then yeah they have a legit gripe at being left out of the CFP. But their backup was clearly in way over his head.. Dude threw for 55 yards and a pathetic 2.6 y/a in the ACC championship against Louisville, and their offense mustered all of 1 touchdown.. and that’s BEFORE all their guys opted out. But we’re supposed to believe they would’ve been competitive with Georgia if they hadn’t had a bunch of players opt out? No chance.

I acknowledge there is some unfairness in leaving out a P5 conf champ winner.. but at the end of the day you want the four best teams. Clear as day after that ACC championship game FSU wasn’t even in the top 5.

 

[GKJ]

if you took Texas or Alabama and put them in the bowl game with Georgia there is no chance

So who would you have left out to put FSU in?

Alabama

 

[GKJ]

Colorado up on Colorado State 14-3 at half and the Rams have lost their best player

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Holy shit........it's hard to think how a D1 kicker can miss a kick as bad as CSU kicker just did.

 

[GKJ]

Stanford Steve made a good call on Tennessee, they’ve covered at halfway through the 2nd and the line was 49

 

[GKJ]

Kentucky 6, Georgia 3 at halftime

This is the SEC I know and love.

 

[GKJ]

Terrible throw by the Colorado State QB.

Buffs actually get a turnover and set up inside the red zone.

 

[mouser]

I see FSU has seriously stepped it up and taken the next logical step after not caring about the Orange Bowl last season—not caring about the entire 2024 season.
