College football week 9 thread: The Midshipmen Who Stare at Goats

Scoring recap:
Iowa FG (after first and goal failure)
NW pick-six
Iowa safety
Finally, a long Kaleb Johnson TD run just before halftime.

Hawkeyes up 12-7 in a classic Big Ten Worst division game.

 

Hell neither does the Big Ten. Oregon has Boise State to stand out, but Penn State, Indiana and Ohio State have jack shit between them unless you think Penn State's win over West Virginia is something special.

BYU has a road win over a current top 25 team (SMU).
Kansas State's road win over Tulane might turn out to be decent.

Miami prohably banked on Florida being a little better than they are.
Clemson got absolutely dragged by Georgia, but I suppose they get some credit for being willing to play them.

 

The entire upper deck at Stanford might have 20 people in it. Not many more in the lower bowl, either. Nobody at Stanford cared about Pac-12 football. Even fewer care about ACC football, even on a perfect Saturday afternoon in the Bay Area.

 

I think Tech may have something with this Hammond kid.

 

These refs are insufferable. Make the fucking call and get on with it.

 

Oregon is legit.
SEC doesn’t have anyone who blows you away, but they have more depth than ever.
The committee will ultimately place 7 teams from the two extortionist leagues into the bracket. As they will every year.

 

I’m gonna throw up.

 

GCU always saves its A-game for Liberty like the SNL cast saves its A-game for Timberlake. Yawn.

 

Never mind what I posted earlier, Vandy is a lock to cover and could still actually win straight up.

24-17 T-sips mid-fourth.

 

yeah but Big 10, meat grinder, blah blah blah

 

Props to Vandy. They tried REEEEAAAALLLL HARD but fell just short.

Orange slices in short supply in the Music City metro.

 

IF -- and it's a big "if," considering Penn State's in a battle at Wisconsin tonight -- the top three teams in the B1G win out, they all would be unbeaten without facing one another in league play. That's Oregon, Penn State and Indiana.

Wonder who would get left out of the conference championship?

Although I'd like to think all three would make the 12-team CFP field.
