College Football Week 11: Indiana is playing for a Big Ten title. In football.

Heck, you don't even have to tackle in your 1 1/2 hour practice.

 

First chuckle of the day.

 

D-III is how college sports are supposed to be like. D-I can be like that too, albeit on a larger scale. Instead, all D-I football and men's basketball is about is money.

 

Besides, in 30 years some SID will claim it as the 15th national title anyway

 

Pussy Cow!

I'd rank the unbeatens: 1. Kansas State, 2. Notre Dame, 3. Oregon

 

You know, I don't know bupkus about Colorado's defense, whether they run a 3-4 or a 4-3 or whatever. But it struck me that you have to be really careful when referring to a Colorado nose tackle (CU NT Bob Loblaw had six tackles and a sack.)

 

If you call beating a 2-8 Boston College team 21-6 dominating for Notre Dame, you've got a low threshold for blowouts.

 

Because SportsJournalists.com leaves no man behind.

 

I told you VT would cover. They weren't going to win. But they were going to cover. Tsk.

 

That's awesome.

 

If Notre Dame had a Barkley under center they'd be winning 58-2 every week.

As it is they have a freshman at QB. Makes a big difference.

Notre Dame is a tough, physical team. Best Irish team I've seen since the late '80s.

 

I'm always going to be in the opposite camp for two reasons:
1. This is America. The free enterprise system. If a city in association with a civic group wants to start a bowl game and gets sanctioning from the NCAA, great for them. The NCAA has a system in which bowls have to sell X number of tickets locally (as we known, the teams guarantee a certain amount, or pay the difference) to stay afloat. I believe if you fall below that level, you get a year to bounce back. If you're a bowl currently in operation, you're meeting those guidelines. Even if you sell 20,000 tickets and 5,000 are coming in from out of town, that's 5,000 more in your city spending money than there would have been with no bowl.

2. It's football. On TV. Leave the sickos among us who want to watch the New Mexico Bowl have our little pleasures.
