2013 Week 8 CFB Open Thread

[NFBuck]

We won. That is taking care of business. I don't care if clemson could beat the crap out of Iowa. Clemson and Iowa don't play each other, so speculation is moot.

Yes, but unfortunately, the polls are not the ncaa tournament...they're wildly subjective. At this point, I'd have no problem FSU leapfrogging us because, frankly, I think they're better than us right now. All this hand-wringing about our ranking is pointless. Just keep winning. Chances are strong one or two, or even all three, teams ahead of us may still drop a game at some point.

Also, anybody else feel that aTm and Mizzou were like a virus into the SEC bloodstream? They bring that pinball meerkat offense from the Big 12, and suddenly they forget how to play defense. I would love to see the SEC turned into what the Big 12 was from about 2006 on...

Well said.

This is what I continue to tell me Oregon/Alabama loving coworkers. Also have to deal with people that talk [Mark May] about SoS and how tOSU "never" schedules anybody tough. THAT'S WEIRD. I wonder what it's like to watch nothing but ESPN.

Really got to hand it to Bama.for that freakishly difficult out of conference schedule this year...woah

I agree with this completely.

The problem with this comment is that Missouri's defense this season is really, really good.



aTm's is, of course, not.

That was just a really fun weekend of college football. Felt like 2007 all over again.

I guess the talking heads can shut up about Jameis Winston not having played anybody.

Say it with me...

Winston: 22 of 34, 444 yards passing, 3 TDs, one pick. QBR of 89.4.
Boyd: 17 of 37, 156 yards passing, 1 TD, two picks. QBR of 34.7.

Thanks for playing, Fighting Dabos. Pick up your consolation prize at the door.

Also in line for consolation prizes:

LSU.
aTm.
UCLA.
Ol' Ball Coach.
UGA.
Gators.
Huskies.
Louisville.

Clemson isn't a somebody. Unless we're talking about overrated somebody's.

Sorry. I can never bring myself to ever root for Missory.

Clemson's better than any team in the B1G other than the Buckeyes, IMO.

I think Wisky could give them all they could handle and Sparty would slow their offense considerably

 

[MaxBuck]

... Sparty would slow their offense considerably

Sparty would slow the drying of paint.

You talk as though that's actually a challenge. :pfft:
