2018 Week 7 CFB Open Thread

[BigWoof31]

CBS gets first dibs on SEC games starting week 3 or 4.

all CBS games are in the 3:30 ET time slot.
except one weekend per year when they get a double header and add a prime time slot as well. which has been the LSU/Bama game for the last few years.

Yeah - it's looking like that might be the case again this year.
UGA vs. Kentucky probably plays at 3:30 and LSU vs Bama at 7:30

I have a feeling TCU doesn’t do anything to help OSU’s resume tonight.

Hearing Herbstreit harping on the TCU tempo... can't help but remember how he did so during the OSU-TCU game, even though it was clear that OSU's tempo was at least equal to theirs.

Fast forward to this week...

Only 1 team (Hawaii) has run more offensive plays than Ohio State, and they've played one more game and run < 10 more plays.

Meanwhile, TCU is averaging 10 plays per game less than Ohio State.

Sure, it helps that Ohio State has to leave the field because they've scored more often than because they've failed to gain a first down. The point is that OSU wouldn't lead the NCAA in plays/game if they weren't running tempo as well as anyone.

But Herby has to harp on his go-to characterizations, whether or not they're accurate.

I was a fan of his when he was Ohio State's qb, but his best attribute these days is reminding me to mute the tv (or the iPad in this case).

OSU shouldn't need resume' help as long as the Buckeyes keep winning.

 

[Jaxbuck]

yeah, it's all or nothing

with the Domers and Clemson almost guaranteed undefeated, a 1 loss OSU would have to compete with the SEC at large team and there is no winning that battle

 

[OHSportsFan]

Agreed. Win and in. Still, a resume is a resume. I’m not sure TCU will be anything to brag about by year’s end- or necessarily help any potential seeding.

In other news, just heard Everitt Withers’ name on the ESPNU braodcast.

Apparently he is the head coach of 1-4 Texas State. Huh.

Great. I think I will need to change my weekly upset pick after reading that.

Bet those corners are playing waaay off. If 10 yards is good, 20 yards is better. Best keep the play in front of you at all times.

Well who didn’t expect a 7-3 Big XII game?

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

we broke TCU

shall we had them to the trash heap with Miami, and shit i can’t remember who else we ended

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

That ball touched a TCU player OB before Tt recovered. Let's see if the refs can miss this one, too!

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Nah, it's just the usual 'marquee matchup" that takes OSU the full 4Qs and then looks like trash the rest of the season.

It's almost concerning that this team was up 21-13 in the 2nd half. Goes to show how weird early OOC games are.

How does the center lose his helmet and not have an illegal hands to the face call?
