College Football 2018

So FSU loses by 49 points. I was in the stadium the only other time that happened: last game of the 1973 season at Florida Field in Gainesville. A mediocre Florida team stomped on the Seminoles 49-0, in a year that FSU finished 0-11. We were positively giddy in the grandstand!

 

Will this be the reason Urban leaves? http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25128672/urban-meyer-ohio-state-buckeyes-details-brain-cysts-cause-headaches

I see arachnoid cysts all the time on MRI. They are extremely common and the vast majority are asymptomatic, but I guess in his case it is not. I vividly recall his chest pains at UF being due to esophageal spasms, which are uncommon compared to other causes of chest pain...

I just painted FB with that

 

Me too.

 

What is Michigan's problem? Why can't they ever beat OSU? They need to drop out of the top 10 for that loss.

Go Gators btw. I hope FSU renews Taggart's contract for eternity. So far he's 1 year into the 6 year deal ($30 million over 6 years lol).

Really hope Notre Dame loses. I don't like how they are allowed to compete for a national title, but remain independent. Join a conference...

 

The A&M game took some years off my life. Gig em!

I love watching LSU lose

 

What a heartbreaking loss for LSU with that late 4th quarter INT called back. Their fan base has the most stressful games anywhere in college football and on a regular basis.

The loss is good for the Gators as it will make a New Years Day bowl game more of a possibility for UF.

I still think Notre Dame is overrated. Hope they get blown out in first playoff game.

 

This it the part if the season I enjoy the least

 

I was at the LSU vs. A&M game. Holy moly. Place was insane all night. I think I had about 8 heart attacks. I have been dealing with LSU losses for 7 years. Finally a win. I work with a ton of LSU fans. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

 

Agreed. There is going to be a bunch of BS this upcoming weekend when it comes to the playoff...

Alabama will get in the playoffs regardless of the SEC CG result so it doesn't matter. ND is in as well. Only the others have something to lose.

 

What happened on Saturday?

 

But but but.... He has $75mil guaranteed!

 

Even though Ohio State is only #6 in both regular polls, many pundits expect them to leapfrog both Georgia and Oklahoma to get a playoff spot. What do you guys think?

 

I doubt it. They had a very very bad loss to Purdue and almost lost to a crap Maryland team as well. They beat another overrated Michigan team and they think it means something. When was the last time Michigan did anything? Don't count 1997...that year is part Tom Osborne's and Nebraska's dynasty.

OU barely lost to UT and can get that win this Saturday and will have beaten every team on their schedule at that point.

Hope OSU gets destroyed by Bama if they con voters into thinking they deserve a spot. Bama is going to playoffs regardless of SEC CG result and UGA obviously would go if they beat Bama, but will not go if they lose.

 

Penultimate CFP rankings out.

1 - Bama
2 - Clemson
3 - ND
4 - Georgia
5 - OU
6 - OSU
7 - Michigan
8 - UCF
9 - UF
10 - LSU

Bama is in no matter what happens in their game on Saturday. ND is in as well as they have no more games. Clemson should win even though they didn't look so good on Saturday vs USC.

Georgia needs to win and they're in.
OU needs to win + a UGA loss to get in.
OSU needs a to win + UGA and OU losses. I don't see them leapfrogging with style points on Saturday even if OU-UT is close like before.

 

OU's defense is so underwhelming that if they wind up playing Alabama in the playoff, they'll probably lose worse than Georgia probably will.

 

Actually I feel sorry for the guy who comes in after Saban. It will be especially horrible if Saban steps down right after another title when he is on the tip top of the tip top of the football world.

I lived through Bryant and what happened after. We didn't calm down until Stallings got there and that was only because he was one of Bear's boys - that was a rough stretch. Ask Bill Curry. Hell, ask Ray Perkins... Bama fans love to live in the past. A new guy isn't going to be banging out wins like now. I just don't see who could.

The running joke was how many Bama fans does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 1000. 1 to put in the new one and 999 to talk about how great the old one was.

I cannot believe I am letting myself say this but Saban will be leaving even bigger shoes to fill than Coach Bryant did.
