Washington hammering Washington State.


Not that I'm surprised. :coffee:

[RW3FAN]

[jcduncan]

TCU up on Texas 24-9.

[jcduncan]

Make that TCU 31-9. Feel bad for Charlie Strong.

[asujbl]

Already carb loading before the Buckeyes tomorrow. I might eat a loaf of bread tonight

[IowaCubs1]

Hawkeyes baby!

[HBMC]

Blech, that is all.

:mad:

[jcduncan]

Blech, that is all.

Not sure what happened to Arkansas in the second half.

[brett06]

Wisconsin won the west, hope they come even hungrier tomorrow!

[JustinVerlander07]

I just hope Uva covers the spread :p

Well, this is a little embarrassing...




I just hope Tech wrapping up the Coastal division yesterday doesn't effect today's game.

Lmao I forgot I need to type SARCASM in huge letters for Hokie fans to understand. :doh:

In all seriousness, I expect a blowout. Yalls qb has looked pretty good this year.

Just hope it doesn't end up like what happened last time these two coaches played each other

[GroatC]

Boise down, Houston Down.. time for some WMU love from the Committee.

Damn, didn't even realize that.

Think it'll be close in the first half. Tech pulls away a little in the second half but UVA still covers the spread in the end I think.

[cnewby]

Yep, not going to happen though.

[cadillac540]

UVA switching out QB's every play. WTF?

[IronMonkey415]

SHE SAID YES!!!
Some player just propose to his girl.

[Siberian13]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Little brother beats big brother! Go Tech!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (Ric Flair style)

[cadillac540]

This Kentucky/Louisville game has been great.

[mnvikingstwins]

2 bad drops from Gophers to have to settle for a FG, but wisco getting killed on the read keeper.

[mnvikingstwins]

Nice home cooking saving wisco 8 yards

[Wolves4Life]

So Lamar Jackson will likely win the Heisman (Shouldn't). Has any Heisman ever had 3 regular season losses before?

Paul Hornung was 2-8 at Notre Dame

[CC_123]

Not that it really mattered as it was 4th down either way and they would be punting.

[Siberian13]

Joe Namath always sounds drunk :)

Pretty sure he is.

You know you're going to have fun hanging with Namath

[mnvikingstwins]

Where's the targeting on wis #14 for that helmet-helmet hit?

[brett06]

Where's the targeting on wis #14 for that helmet-helmet hit?

Wasn't targeting. That's why it wasn't called. Is everything a penalty on the opposing team to you?

[mnvikingstwins]

Not sure why we didn't bleed the clock down to about :30 before taking that TO, but a stop here and there's quite a bit of hope for second half

[CC_123]

Nice half for the Gophers leading 17-7, but the 2nd half is the one that really matters. I've seen us hold a 17-10 lead at halftime against Nebraska and lose that one so I'm just hoping for a strong outing in the second half.

[MarshallCutler6]

Please finish this off Minnesota.

[mfw13]

The only team that has looked really good so far has been Washington.

Alabama is looking decidedly average so far.

Ohio State looked horrible and only was able to stay in the game because Michigan's QB was even worse (a fumble inside the Ohio St. 5-yard line and two INT's inside his own territory).

Would really like to see Washington hop up to the #3 spot so that we can have Pac-12/Big Ten and SEC/ACC semifinals.

[mnvikingstwins]

No #@#@#@#@ it's uncatchable, he tackled him while it was in the air

[MarshallCutler6]

I just want Iowa to get a trophy, even if it is essentially meaningless. Minnesota needs to not screw this up.

[mnvikingstwins]

Nice #@#@#@#@ing tackling there

[kdub0982]

What trophy? Wisconsin is in the Big 10 championship game regardless of the outcome of this game.

[CC_123]

Mitch Leidner, a 5th year senior, has made two absolutely inexcusable interception throws. He never shows up in big games. Thankfully, I only have 1 game and 1 quarter left to watch in his Minnesota career.

That's 9 picks by the wisconsin defense in the last 2 plus games.

Idk if this game means anything to wisconsin position wise. If Washington wins next week, even with their pathetic non conference schedule, I don't think wisconsin will get in :(

[mnvikingstwins]

That punch went almost as far as some of our punts today

Washington didn't look so good being dominated by a 3 loss USC at home. You pounded a crappy WSU team, so what? So did Colorado. WSU could not even beat Eastern Washington.

All 3 of those teams are better than Washington and Bama is going to pound them if they can beat Colorado.

[brett06]

Wisconsin..another pick. 65 yards after halftime. Defense got the message!

[Wolves4Life]

You say it like Colorado is bad.

[kerg]

Well that changed quickly for Wisconsin

[CC_123]

C'mon, its Mitch Leidner. Its not like he is a world beater. He threw it right to all of the defenders on all three picks. He is the worst QB in the Big Ten that makes high school mistakes as a 5th year senior. I've been his biggest critic and have been counting down the games left in his career since he was a sophomore and I can proudly say he only has one game left in his Golden Gopher career and then it is the Seth Green era!

[brett06]

That defense tho! Showed up the 2nd half with sacks, picks, and big plays!

Idc If you're throwing the ball. Yes, the passes were atrocious but that's a good 3 game stretch vs anyone. Make that 11 now :)

[kdub0982]

Leidner with 2 completions and 4 interceptions in the 2nd half.

[CC_123]

It's not impressive for the 4 today when it's Mitch Leidner throwing and it lands in your hands without really having to try. A blind person could've caught those interceptions.

Hey, least the axe is in good hands. Leidner can't throw that anywhere :)

[kdub0982]

13 straight years with the axe, On Wisconsin!

[packman80]

Well it took 115 years but Wisconsin has tied the all time series of Badgers vs Gophers.

[packman80]

So is only way Badgers get to the playoffs is beat PSU and have Colorado beat Washington?

[rats60]

You say it like Colorado is bad.

They are not bad, but how did they do against Michigan?

What about Michigan who beat Colorado, Penn State and Wisconsin?

[brett06]

What about Michigan who beat Colorado, Penn State and Wisconsin?

Michigan has lost 2 of their last 3 games. It's not how you start, but how you finish.

[packman80]

What about Michigan who beat Colorado, Penn State and Wisconsin?

I think Michigan is dead on the playoffs. 2 Big Ten losses and not making the Title game.

[GroatC]

Wisconsin gonna defense stomp Penn next week.

[Wolves4Life]

They are not bad, but how did they do against Michigan?

Look at the first half with their #1 Quarterback and look at the second half without him.

[trixstar]

Unless Clemson loses I don't see the Big 10 champ getting in. This is of course assuming Washington wins the Pac 12 championship.

I think Colorado has better chance of knocking off Washington then Va tech does Clemson.

Gotta know more than the final score.

[packman80]

So looks like there is going to be 4-6 slots open that the NCAA will need to fill with 5-7 football teams to fill all bowl games. Does the NCAA only consider the power 5 teams or would they take a team from a lesser conference? I see there is like 7 5-7 teams that are in the Power 5 that are 5-7 but some of those might decline a bowl game like Texas.

5-7 teams can be selected in order of their APR (academic) rating.

Thanks that is great shows you who is in pecking order to get games.

Still think NCAA needs to stop money grab get rid of like 10 bowl games so we get rid of all 5-7 teams and several of the crappy 6-6 teams.

[mfw13]

Teams are very different in September than they are in December. Just look at USC, which is one of the hottest teams in the country right now, but started out 1-3.

All I will say regarding Washington is that very few teams, in any conference, win a rivalry game on the road against a ranked opponent by four touchdowns. It was a very impressive win any way you look at it.

And Ohio St. looked horrible today against Michigan prior to overtime. Couldn't move the ball, missed two field goals, botched a fake punt, and only got their two regulation TD's thanks to horrible INT's by the Michigan QB.

Alabama and Clemson both looked very good, but I'd take Washington over whichever Big Ten team ends up in the playoff.

The kids on those crappy 6-6 and 5-7 teams getting one last trip and a bowl experience doesn't bother me one bit. I can choose to turn the game off if it doesn't appeal to me.

[Wolves4Life]

Woot COLORADO!!!. Should be good on Friday.

[lionsfan20]

Nice win for the Noles tonight against their biggest rival Florida! Really happy they didn't give up this season even though they weren't in the playoff hunt. FSU is young and should only get better next season. GO NOLES!!
