[tabula rasa]

Miami sucked hard that 2nd half

[KickAssPlaya]

I like FSU and the longhorns. :)

[007 GOD]

one of the best games i have seen in a long time defensively.
2 yards rushing for mia, and 1 for fsu. wow.

[KickAssPlaya]

Yeah and both defenses are VERY fast. Guess I need to get much faster within the next couple of years. :p

[Zoticus]

I actually thought Arkansas had a chance to beat USC after the first three plays. Then they fumbled and the game went down hill from there. Although the calls were horrible in the first half. Arkansas deffence was actually good, I would give there deffence rating an "A+."

[007 GOD]

all the hype about mcfadden bein back then thye give it to felix jones and he fumbles 3 times :(

[Geeky_Bastard]

Stupid ass FSU vs UF game is for season ticket holders only :dry:

[DarkMethod GL]

LMAO, right. ;)

[007 GOD]

I think the winner of the OU and UT game will eventually be national champs. I think both are outstandingly good, but I think Texas has the edge with last years win. Nothing towards OU fans.

[†Nuke'em†]

ND OWNED!! PSU 17 TO 41 ND woot

[mantis33]

Unbelievable, how is OSU gonna miss a 29 yard field goal... :dry:

Oh well, we'll just win by 3 less than we would have. :p

[DarkMethod GL]

Anyone watch the Iowa game? That was a pretty close game, Syracuse should have tied the game when they had so many chances right near the goal line, but oh well.

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

Ohio State: 7
Texas: 0 :dry:

[DarkMethod GL]

#7 for Ohio, I don't remember his name right now, but the WR, he is very fast.

[mantis33]

I hate to say I told you so Texas fans, but...

Hells yeah! :cool:

[007 GOD]

Well, it kills me to say it, but congratulations 2006 National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes.


I still think Texas will be a BCS Bowl team. They will likely drop to 10 -12 maybe in ranks.

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

lol...no...they will drop to like 4th..6th at the most.
Well...Ohio or Notre Dame will probably win the championship....and Texas will probably come in 3rd or 4th.

[TTitan44]

Go UCLA!!!!

The Bruins beat Rice 26-16 and improve to 2-0 on the season.

[endless]

Yes.. Notre dame won

and OSU kicked texas's ass!

[The AIDS Virus]

As I'm the biggest longhorn fan in all of TAOdom, Even a bigger fan than you TL, I feel the need to comment.

Those announcers sucked. Dissin McCoy the entire second half, when he played a pretty good game. Ohio totally took advantage of our missing cornerback and pounded our secondary, I belive that accounted for like 2 touchdowns, at least.

We'll get better, and prolly do ok this season, but next season we're gonna dominate fo sho.

[DarkMethod GL]

ND should move back up to the second spot in the rankings.

[mantis33]

ND should move back up to the second spot in the rankings.

Hell no. Keep Notre Lame as far down as possible. :p

[TTitan44]

Did anyone see the Clemson game? They lost by getting their PAT blocked in OT. This is great, oneof my friends is a big Clemson fan so I'm gonna make fun of him all week.

[DarkMethod GL]

How could Syracuse not score with 8 trys on like the 1-2 yard line?

[Blood And Gore]

FSU all the way!!!

[TTitan44]

They had 6 trys.

But I'm super cereal, how could you not score on 6 trys?

[†Nuke'em†]

GO BUCKS!!!! They are on fire! :fire:

[ironhorse123]

Go Duke!!!! Oh, wait. This is football. Nevermind. :p

[Demolitioner]

Go Ohio State Buckeyes! They'll school duke >.>

[ironhorse123]

Duke's bad at football, but good at basketball and lacrosse! :)

[†Nuke'em†]

Yah, but hey its football season.

Why does everyone ignore the biggest upset of the week:

Ohio University beat Northern Illinois.
Seriously. Huskies were supposed to be the MAC's choice pick for the season. AND THEY GOT WHOOPED! BY OU.

I mean, OU sucks ass. They couldn;t play football to save their lives.

A TN fan. Would u like to join the gameday crew?

[TTitan44]

Who do you guys have winning this week? ND or Michigan. I have ND winning.

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

Notre Dame, they have a power house offense, and a good defense. Michigan is good, but their secondary cant keep up with brady quinn, and their running back isnt fast enough or strong enough to get past ND's D-line and LB's

Woot :)

[007 GOD]

Who do you guys have winning this week? ND or Michigan. I have ND winning.

Well, Notre Dame has an established QB and WR combo in Brady Quinn and Samarzja(misspelled). Michigan has a above average quarterback in Chad Henne. I dont think Hart and Henne will be enough to carry the Wolveries. My X-Factor for this game will be tom zbikowski, safety for Notre Dame. I see him picking a ball off and making 3-16 tackles and maybe a forced fumble.

[TTitan44]

Has anyone seen any Rutgers games? Their lookin pretty good this year.

[007 GOD]

For the first time since 1981, Rutgers has an opportunity to start the season 3-0 as the they host Ohio Saturday at Rutgers Stadium on Homecoming. The Rutgers (2-0) dominated Big Ten foe Illinois in all three phases of the game last Saturday in a 33-0 win over the Illini.

Ohio also secured an impressive victory of its own last Saturday with a 33-25 win at Northern Illinois to open Mid-American Conference play for both schools. The Bobcats (2-0) are in search of their first 3-0 start to a season since 1976 when Ohio opened the season 4-0.

Rutgers has played some of its best football at home over the last two seasons. RU is 5-2 at home since 2005, including a 33-0 shutout of Illinois on Sept. 9. They finished 4-2 at home in 2005, tying for the most wins (4-1 in 1994) in the “new” Rutgers Stadium.

In the 33-0 win over Illinois on Sept. 9, Rutgers recorded their first shutout since Sept. 14, 2002 vs. Army (44-0).

The 126 yards of total offense by Illinois was the least by a Rutgers opponent since Oct. 2, 1993, when Rutgers allowed 118 yards in a 62-0 victory over Temple.

The last two teams to visit Rutgers Stadium in Piscataway - Cincinnati in the home finale in 2005 and Illinois in the 2006 home opener - combined for just 43 rushing yards in the two games.

Rutgers has totaled 14 sacks in its last two home games and held the opposition to nine points.

[007 GOD]

Here are the games that the TAO Gameday Crew will Cover:

#11 Michigan at #2 Notre Dame
#6 LSU at #3 Auburn
#17 Miami (FL) at #12 Louisville
#15 Oklahoma at #18 Oregon
#24 Texas Tech at #20 TCU
#19 Nebraska at #4 USC
#7 Florida at #13 Tennessee
Clemson at #9 Florida State


My Picks:

ND over Michigan. Notre Dame has to many weapons on offense for Michigan's Defense.

Auburn over LSU. LSU cant stop Auburn's Courtney Taylor from catching passes. Also, Kenny Irons, Rb for Auburn, should have a big game vs a battered LSU D-Line.

Miami over Lousiville. The Canes have never lost to the Cardinals, going 9-0-1. Despite losing left tackle Reggie Youngblood for Saturday's game, look for Miami's Kyle Wright to go deep to SR standout reciever Darnell Jenkins.

Oklahoma over Oregon. The Ducks have never beaten the Sooners (0-6). This one shapes up as the matchup of two marquee RBs: Adrian Peterson(OKLAHOMA) vs. Jonathan Stewart(OREGON). Also, Oklahoma looks to have one of the vest quarterbacks they have had in a long time in Senior Paul Thompson.

Texas Tech over TCU. Texas Tech's Graham Harrell is an amazing quarterback. TCU won't be able to stop this 6'3 197 lb. Sophmore qb. Look for this to be a high scoring game.

USC over Nebraska. I am by no means a USC fan, but when you look at this game, you have to laugh a bit. The Huskers haven't beaten a top 10 team on the road since 1997 (Washington), and they are just 1-10 against top 25 teams in the last eight seasons. USC's John David Booty is an outstanding quarterback when it comes to reading what the defense is throwing at him. Nebraska does have a great team this year. They have ouutscored their opponents 105-17 this year, but look for this to change. Nebraska will put up a good fight in the forst half, but look for USC to pull away in thre 2nd half.

Tennessee over Florida. This was the toughest game for me to decide. I am a big Chris Leak fan, but I see the TN defensive line putting pressure on him. After Tennessee's upset over #9 California, TN is proving to be a contender for the SEC crown behind JR qb Erik Ainge. Always an exciting rivalry, this is my pick for the game to watch this weekend.

Clemson over Florida State. A gutsy call I think, but I say this could be a good one. Many experts are picking FSU to roll over Clemson. I personally think that it won't be a breeze for the Seminoles. I think Clemson will put up a strong fight and possibly even come away with a victory.

[†Nuke'em†]

#11 Michigan at #2 Notre Dame
For this game I believe Notre Dame will win. Brady Quinn is goong to have a big game. I don't think Michigan will have an answer.

#6 LSU at #3 Auburn
Now I am not sure on this game but I believe LSU will pull it out. Auburn looked strong but I think that they won't be ready for LSU.

#17 Miami (FL) at #12 Louisville
For this game I have to take Louisville, its much closer. But to be honest I know almost nothing about either team for this game.

#15 Oklahoma at #18 Oregon
Oregon, I think they will play hard and suprise Oklahoma. So I pick them for the upset.

#24 Texas Tech at #20 TCU
Frankly, I must be honest, I have no idea about either team. Sorry, no comment.

#19 Nebraska at #4 USC
I agree with 007, USC will win this one, I'm sorry Huskies but I don't think they have a prayer.

#7 Florida at #13 Tennessee
Florida is my choice, because they seem to always be good contenders no matter what, they will play solid football and beat Tennessee.

Clemson at #9 Florida State
I don't know enough to comment on this game but I will pull for the under dog and pick Clemson.

[Shiny Flors]

I watched the Michigan game. Wow is all I have to say to that game. Go Wolverines.

I'm watching the Nebraska USC game now. Nebraska needs to cover the wide outs. I'm interested to see what changes are going to happen in the second half.

[007 GOD]

Well, It looks like I am having a so-so week. I was way wrong about ND, Texas Tech and Miami. My upsets Clemson over FSU, and TN over Florida are in process. :D

[-57-]

Te he.. he he...

*Sings hail to the victors*

Hey, it's hard being a Michigan fan only 15 miles North of columbus ;)

But hey, I was honestly surprised when I saw everyone picking ND so highly above Michigan, I mean no answer for Brady Quinn? And I'm not just coming on here and spewing the victors bull shit every where, I honestly thought Michigan had the game (although I didn't think by that much :D ) the whole, including the days before the game :)

But hey, in my eyes, ND has ALWAYS been over rated, including last year (obviously) when they where blown out by OSU (as much as I hate them :/).

PS: Sorry for spelling and grammer mistakes, I am diabetic and am currently "low" (Ilow blood sugar) ;)

[Lost.Boy]

ND lost to michigan 47 to 21
and Oregon ove Oklahoma. Were the 2 games that were surprising to me. good pick nuke.

[Memnarch]

Well. The Gamecocks pulled out a win over Wofford this week. Wofford shouldnt have scored the points they did. Geez. We need to get our shit together.

[†Nuke'em†]

Penn State barely pulled out their win yesterday, and Auburn lost to Arkansas.

[Mr.Wister]

Boo ya....Texas beat Oklahoma yesterday...But I'm kinda pissed that the Hawkeyes lost to OSU 36-17....grrrrrr

[CRX687]

...

Haha, clemson lost.

[CRX687]

Okay, seeing as this thread is dead and the ranking polls are a mess, I'm going to pose the question of the season:

Assuming there are no major upsets for the rest of the season, which teams should go to the National Championships? And why?




Darn... USC lost.

I would've said Cal, but their schedule just doesn't contain any more big name teams that can carry them high enough in the rankings.

So now I'm going with West Virginia because *I predict* that they'll go undefeated along with OSU. And the the depth/competitiveness of a single conference changes every season so Tuberville can suck it up and get to the championship game via the same route everyone else takes.

[R G]

I don't think W. Virginia gets past Louisville....It's gonna be a good game though!

[ironhorse123]

Go Duke!!!!

We might get one win. :p

I went to St. Sugustine High School, and we pawned Nease high school even when they had Tim Debo as their QB. I mean, it was something like the score they had in the national championship. I feel special about that. Anyways, Im happy that the SEC team won. Just shows you cant compete with the SEC.

[Worker]

Its looking like USC isnt going to get sanctions for at least a few years, if ever from the Reggie Bush scandal. He and his family lived in a house for free, as well as him accepting money for a new car and staying at hotels for free. Pretty shitty deal considering how hard the NCAA has cracked down on other schools in years past.

[CRX687]

Oh hell yes I did, myself and about 3-4 other people yelled a collective "OWWWWWWW" when we saw that block. I kind of felt bad for that guy.

I was actually pretty unimpressed with LSU. Their D was amazing, but the offense looked really overrated. If they keep playing that way, no way they'll get past VT or the gators.

Anyway, CAL V. TENN tomorrow!!!!!! I am SOOOO excited!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

What does Michigan's loss have to do with HS teams?!

Appalachain state may be div 1-AA, but they're still a REALLY good team. If either of your HS teams can win the national championship game two years in a row, then we'll talk.

[DarkMethod GL]

Yea Michigan had a chance but got the kick blocked, anyway go PSU and Rutgers!

I think of it kinda like this. Division 1- pro, division 2-college... One of the best pro teams should be able to take out one of the best college teams.

But thats just in my opinion

[Shaddix]

Go Eagles, the team seemed to find a nice stride against WF, that game could of easily have been 38-14 or less.

BC Eagles 07-08!!!!

[CRX687]

I love UCLA :-D

But thats just in my opinion

Except App state isn't Div-2, they're also Div 1...

It's more like a grey on TAO beating a Gold, they share the same recruiting pool and all, but App state had 30 less scholarships and only 10% of the funding that Michigan had.

[RicoRodriguez]

USC trojans!!!!!! tobad i only play collage football video games and dont watch much, since i am in Canada and we only get like one big game a week usually ND or a PAC 10 team

It isnt just your opinion...its the opinion of everyone who knows anything about college football, thats why when app state beat michigan, they called it the biggest upset in college football history, and a "shock" to the football world...

It's more like a grey on TAO beating a Gold, they share the same recruiting pool and all, but App state had 30 less scholarships and only 10% of the funding that Michigan had.

Yea...app state is a Div. 1 "playoff" team, this includes all of the schools that were formerly Div. 1A and Div. 1AA, but they changed it to make the scheduling more fair, and to give the schools that arnt as good (like App state), a shot to play the big "powerhouses" (like michigan).

But then again, this game dosent prove that App. state is a better team than michigan, because they obviously arnt, all it shows is that michigan took app state took lightly, and came into the game mentally unprepared

[R G]

Congrads to App State!!! Just like David vs Goliath...Goliath falls on his face...except this time he has to get back up with the rest of the world laughing and mocking him.

Not only do they get a nice payday of $400K for playing the game in front of a crowd of Michigan faithful, but they walk away with the cash and the win. A win that has probally ruined Michigan's year and their coach. This could really propel App States program for years to come.

Does Michigan fall out of the top 25??? I say yea...you schedule what you think is a patsy team for your first game and get your ass handed to you.

[CRX687]

Whaaaa??

No, they didnt get thier ass handed to them at all!

Did you actually watch the game? Because if you did, you would have known that it was actually a very good game, granted, michigan should have blown app state out of the water, but the game itself was a good game.

Plus, i dont think that michigan will drop out of the top 25..

Yea, they had a horrible game, but they are still a very talented team to even be ranked in the top 5 to begin with.

I say they go down to top 15, max, they still have a very good chance at winning the big 10 championship, because the only way they can get this loss off thier backs is to have a very good season and with the big 10

If Michigan doesn't fall out of the top 25 I'll shit myself.

yeah, it was a very good game, which is WHY Michigan shouldn't be ranked. When you're given ten time as much resources and 30 extra players, you're supposed to blow the other team out of the water.

Preseason rankings are based on hype and hype alone, being ranked in the top 5 means you're SUPPOSED to be good, not that you're ACTUALLY good.

If they don't drop past 20, there will be a lot of complaining.

It was a good game...but when you compare the two programs and what each is capable of, consider that they were playing in their own home stadium surrounded by their own fans and yea they had their asses handed to them.

How many blue chip players do you think play for Michigan? How many you think play for App State???

How many App State fans do you think were sitting in the stands of one of the largest stadiums in the US?

Case closed Michigan had their asses handed to them...and if they didn't it was because it was beat to a bloody pulp and there was nothing left.:p

[Worker]

Look Michican fans, instead of trying to defend your teams sorry performance, you should divert the attention away from your over-rated team.....and point out a team that is more over-rated


NOTRE DAME

Georgia Tech smacked that ass.




To CRX, I think a lot of questions will be answered with regards to LSU come saturday night vs Virgina Tech. Hopefully their offense comes alive. Secondly i'm pulling for Cal to win the Pac-10. F-USC :)

Oh hell yea that was sweet!!! To bad that it was overshadowed by the App State beating.

Oh and let's not forget Florida State getting beat by the Mighty Clemson Tigers....

[CRX687]

haha, thanks for that worker, I'm also rooting for Cal, but I also KNOW that the team's gonna lose a shocker or two for no apparent reason... but just maybe we'll make it to the rose bowl despite it all.

FSU v. clemson wasn't really an upset, I had them winning from the beginning and the two teams really are pretty even.

But ND... yeah. I have no idea why Weis isn't on the hot seat. His teams perform worse in big games than Carr's. At least Carr beat him. And he had the preseason number 2 team last year too. Yet every win is attributed to his amazing coaching and every loss to Ty's horrible recruiting?!!!

If I were Carr, I'd give Weis a call and find out what his secret it.

[DarkMethod GL]

Michigan did fall out of the top 25, and PSU is gonna own ND this weekend.

[-57-]

Ok, so everyone is going to laugh at me and say i'm only saying this because I'ma Michigan fan, and that may be true, but!

A friend of mine once told me something that has forever changed my outlook on sports. He told me after I had had a very shitty race that, let's say you're regularly a 18:40 5k runner, you run a 20:00 on a bad day. Now, does this mean that you actually ARE a 20:00 runner, no, just because you lose a game, that doesn't make you worse, it means you either had a bad day, or more in the case of football it just shows you more what your team is made of. While even I think Michigan was over rated at 5, I am now ridiculously pissed they're not in the top 25. Honestly I think that they could take the bottom half of the top 25 with maybe 1 loss. I am also dead serious when I say I still think Michigan can and will win the Big 10.

Now, it's time to see what the can really do when they play Oregon, and I expect nothing less then a win.

Did I mention Michigan's D sucks. ;)

Right. But preseason rankings are based on pure speculation while the first game, even if it's an outlier, is something solid with which rankings can be based upon. Michigan did not play like a top25 team on Sat and LOST to a div 1-aa team. Say what you want about how good they are, Michigan has 20 more players (that's almost an entire recruitng class) and better everything AND they even have an advantage in recruiting.

A team like Duke losing to a div1-AA is possible because a recruit would choose playing for 1AA championships over nothing, but Michigan is a 1A title contender and has no such issue.

Had they won, you could say they started slow but pulled out in the end, but they started slow and were held off by a team with a lot less to begin with. No matter how you spin it, Michigan lost a game a top25 team should not have lost. Thus they are no longer top 25 until they prove otherwise.

Granted, I'm picking Michigan to beat Oregon next week because teams with good senior leadership usually rebound after tough losses and play better than ever.

[-57-]

I agree, they didn't play like a top 25 team, and that was kind of my point, they had a shit game, it happens. But you lose a team, your skills don't get worse. You just had a shit game. And to be honest, I thought their offense did ok, it was their D that sucked it. Hard.

But you're going ot tell me they couldn't take Rutgers, Nebraska, Auburn, Arkansas, TCU, Hawaii, Georgia Tech, Boise State, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Clemson...

Because I definantly think they could. but meh, only way to see is to see what happens this Saturday :)

If the played like they did thus far this year, the answer is a definite no. And that's my point.

Should we judge teams by what they've done or what we think they can do? The answer should be both. But Michigan just proved that was we though was wrong, thus we can only use what they've done this season to measure them...

[R G]

-57-

The only poll that is based on speculation/perception is the first poll of the year....as no one has played yet.

The rest of the year polls are based upon results...either put up or shut up, so to speak.

[-57-]

The rest of the year polls are based upon results...either put up or shut up, so to speak.

Lol.

Yes, I realize this, which is why I said they played like, shit, and now have a shit ranking. I also said I think that they're much better then that, and will bounce back.

I also find it funny how fans take the most shit for losses. What do you mean put up, or shut up, I in no way have any influence over how well Michigan plays, so how am I supposed yo "put out" so to say.

[HorNeT]

Michigan blows, end of story.

[CRX687]

That's definitely not true, or GT would be way ahead of TX right now.

I liked ND till Weis, and before I realized they were getting into BCS bowl games they did not deserve to be in. The scores in their bowl games speak for themselves.


Oh hell yea that was sweet!!! To bad that it was overshadowed by the App State beating.

Oh and let's not forget Florida State getting beat by the Mighty Clemson Tigers....

It wasnt not really overshadowed because it was expected.

Also, Clemson has been a good team for awhile now. They have won their divsion of the ACC three out of the past four seasons I believe, and they have beaten Florida State four out of the last five meetings if I remember correctly. Either way I remember them saying Tommy Bowden is 4-5 vs his son Bobby( clemson coach). Either way that win is not suprising at all, especially considerng the shape Florida States program is in right now.

^^

CRX... During the bowls last season we made picks on who would win a few of the games. Since i'm not involved in fantasy football, and I enjoy college football 100 times more....would you be interested in picking the winner of 5-10 games each week. Obviously starting with this week, anyone can be involved... and of course ill keep track of the scores of everyone. At the end of the season we will have a winner. I think the bowls should be done seperately, that way we can have a regular season champ and a bowl winner.

I think a good format would be to choose the games we want monday, then have the picks in by wed or thursday maybe friday if there are no week games.

Hi, this is Clacker, a depressed Michigan fan. Here are my picks:

vs
(17) Auburn

------------

(19) TCU
vs
(7) Texas

-----------

North Carolina
vs

Haha clacker. Last year, my roomie was from Ohio, he disappeared from our lives for a week after that last game. But the good news it, he did get over it (in appearance). Hehe.

Anyway. Worker, why only 5-10 games? Shouldn't we just predict all of the top 25 games?

[Worker]

Anyway. Worker, why only 5-10 games? Shouldn't we just predict all of the top 25 games?

Sounds good...I kinda threw the idea together during my morning coffee break. Lets start top 25 next week, as many people have already voted. Unless the people who have posted want to do it this week. The other reasons I didn't do top 25, easier to keep track of and, more importantly, I can add games that could go either way, instead of blowouts* that the top 25 tend to have for most of the season.


*Michigan sucks

[The Dark Knight]

(9) Virginia Tech
vs
(2) LSU
Score: LSU 24, Virginia Tech 13
Reason: Did you see how virginia tech ran last week, absolutely no way they'll run any better against LSU. Only reason they score is a great beamer halftime speech
------------

South Florida
vs
(17) Auburn
Score: Auburn 27, South Florida 10
Reason: Auburn though not very good, has cox who will jus barely get the job done, for a whopping 210 yards (most likely). Plus, south florida struggles on the road.
------------

(19) TCU
vs
(7) Texas
Score: TCU 31, Texas 21
Reason: TCU blows them out early, shocks texas, even though brown told them what to expect. Halftime speech fires Texas up, but not enough to beat an extremely underrated TCU team. Colt Mccoy underpreforms bigtime.
-----------

North Carolina
vs
East Carolina
Who really cares what the result is?
-----------

South Carolina
vs
(11) Georgia
Score: South Carolina by a landslide
Reason: Georgia is so overrated it is ridiculous, and it doesn't matter how good they are at home because South Carolina has a better quarterback, and a better coach. End of story.
-----------
Oregon
vs
Michigan
Score: Michigan 35, Oregon 31
Reason: Michigan just a tad bit fired up here, not letting a good Oregon team beat them again. Lloyd Carr is still on the hot seat because its just too close a game for his naysayers. Porous defense stops them just enough for the win.
-----------

N.C. State
vs
Boston Coll.

Boston College with an easy win (have you seen NC State!)
-----------

(22) Boise St.
vs
Washington
Score: Boise St. 24, Washington 21
Reason: Ian Johnson carries the team on his back for a victory. Just too much to handle.
-----------

Miami (FL)
vs
(5) Oklahoma
Score: Oklahoma 31, Miami 14
Reason: Miami, though a power program, does not have talent to defeat one of the best oklahoma teams in a while.
-----------

Alabama
vs
Vanderbilt
Score: Alabama 17, Vanderbilt 3
Reason: Great coaching by saban wins game, despite Alabama with very little good players. However, vanderbilt has less.

Note: Not all these scores will be correct, i apoligize in advance

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

Color/bold your winners.

(9) Virginia Tech - They are just coming back from the devastating shooting, and looking good, but will be over powered by LSU
vs
(2) LSU - Ranked 2nd this year, they have to prove that they can live up to that high pre-season ranking, and they can do it with their massive O-Line.

------------

South Florida - An unknown D-1AA (or D1 "championship" team, if you will) Can not match up to Auburn's strength
vs
(17) Auburn-This game should be a blowout for AU

------------

(19) TCU-TCU steps up to the plate every year taking on some of the biggest names in college football, they are always good, but never exceptional
vs
(7) Texas-Colt Mcoy should have a great game against TCU's weak secondary

-----------

North Carolina-Another relitivley unknown D-1AA school, with little power in the running back position
vs
East Carolina-Played well in their season opener against Viginia Tech, and should play well against UNC

-----------

South Carolina-Yet another unknown D-1AA school, But USC is very good in their division, but can not match up to Georgia
vs
(11) Georgia-This game should be a no-brainer blow out, it is very possible that georgia will not play any starters all game

-----------
Oregon-Very strong team this year, and can compete with any team they are matched up against
vs
Michigan-Michigan has something to prove to the college football world, and you can bet anything that they will come into this game pumped up, and ready to win
-----------

N.C. State- Their team has suffered major losses in the secondary and linebacker spots, they should come out with a reletivley weak defense
vs
Boston Coll.- BC is always a strong competitor, very small school, but has a lot of heart

-----------

(22) Boise St.-Everyone knows what boise accomplished last year, and they are coming back this year with the same potent offensive scheme, and Ian Johnson looking to prove himself
vs
Washington-Washington has an ok team this year, but they lack in the passing game, but they should play well against BSU
-----------

Miami (FL)- Miami has a decent team every year, has was a powerhouse back in the late 90's and early 2000's but has suffered a dry spell in recruits
vs
(5) Oklahoma- Oklahoma is always a force to be reckoned with, coming off only an ok season, OU is looking for a national championship this year

-----------

Alabama-The crimson tide should blow out vanderbilt with their amazing defensive blitz package
vs
Vanderbilt-Vanderbilt has a weak time this year due to losing many recuits to higher D-1 schools

AND THOSE ARE TEXY'S PICKS!

Enjoy :)

well, top 25 and hi profile games. How about that?

And also, we should be allowed to change our picks at any time before kickoff of the FIRST game of that week. If an edit has occured after, all the predictions will be discounted.

South Carolina-Yet another unknown D-1AA school, But USC is very good in their division, but can not match up to Georgia
vs
(11) Georgia-This game should be a no-brainer blow out, it is very possible that georgia will not play any starters all game



South Florida is a 1A school in the Big East, they have upset Lousiville and Rutgers in the last two years respectively.

North Carolina is a 1A school in the ACC coached by Butch Davis (Former Miama coach ...national championship)

South Carolina is a 1A school in the SEC coached by Steve Spurier(National Championship Coach with Florida.


Other than that pretty cool addition explaining your picks guys


well, top 25 and hi profile games. How about that?

* agreed.

And also, we should be allowed to change our picks at any time before kickoff of the FIRST game of that week. If an edit has occured after, all the predictions will be discounted.


Sounds good, next week the picks will expand to at least the top 25, or substitute a top 25 if its a gimmie, for a 'high profile' game if we see fit. We can get together on that next sunday/monday CRX.

Uhhhh....:unsure:

..Im embarrased..:sorry:

[The Dark Knight]

As you should be texas, i mean even i had no idea what division south florida was in. And north carolina might as well be in 1-AA for how bad they are (granted good coach in Butch Davis). But, south carolina in 1-AA, get real, or figure out what people's initials are xD. But i'd like to say that TCU's secondary is not as bad as it might seem, and Texas is going to be the next big team to be shocked at home. Plus, did you see Louisville struggle with Middle Tenn. State xd. Granted they won, but umm, can you say troubles.

wtf?

louisville won 73-10, in my opinion, that isnt struggling

[The Dark Knight]

Umm, in week 2, that would be tonight, they only won by 16, and were only up by 3 at half time. It was an extremely close game the entire game, at the end they pulled out a bit. Once again, be sure to read the whole message. But the first week they did fine, but this exposed a weak louisville defense. Which was definitely exploited by a decent, at best, middle tenn. state team

[CRX687]

Uhhhh....:unsure:

..Im embarrased..:sorry:

Haha, dont' worry, I used to think every school with a direction in its name was div-1AA too.

Plus, did you see Louisville struggle with Middle Tenn. State xd. Granted they won, but umm, can you say troubles.

Well, we all know UL didn't play much D, but their offense is good enough to get them through shootouts.

South Florida has only been in 1A for 7 years, and in the Big East 3 I believe.
North Carolina was a pretty consistant bowl team in the 90's.
Iv read in several places TCU has one of the top 10 d's in all of college ball, regardless of their secondary.

I watched some of the Louisville game and it was pretty entertaining. Its easy to forget though that your BCS teams last year barely got past opponents they should of slaughtered on paper. So I wouldnt look to much into it. As long as they win, it does not really matter till they play their big games.

TCU's had one of the most consistent and best D's in the nation in terms of stats, but one can argue their opponents haven't exactly been offensive juggernauts.

Yeah, remember UF needed a blocked FG AND extra point to avoid losing to SC and they needed a last second TD to get past Tenn. As long as a team finds a way to keep winning, they shouldn't be dropped. IMO, the manner in which you win should only be used (after SOS) as a tiebreaker in ranking teams.

Well, the biggest problem was i wasn't coherent until the 00's and though south florida is in the big east, they aren't exactly a member of the big 3, just basically stating their anomnymity might be a bit of an excuse for texas. And i'm merely stating that the louisville game show's what their weakness is, defense. Which incidentally is also West Virginia's weakness as well. Plus, TCU is one of the best teams that no one pays attention too, but their secondary is the weakest part of their d, which i think was what texas was referring too, as their excuse for losing. But id just like to say rutgers is, and always will be my pick to win the big east. Enough offense to contend, and more than enough d to slow down the firesquads in Louisville and WV. Go Greg Schiano!!!! (Just did my research, and yes NC was a contender in the '90s, but it will be two years until they contend in the ACC, no matter how good butch is.)

Michigan got their asses handed to them. Oregon played an amazing game. Ill watch them more this season.

Notre Dame got their asses handed to them. Penn St. Played an awesome game.

Lsu is playing a pretty good game right now... We'll have to see.

Just waiting on the South Florida Aubrun result, I knew I should have gone with South Carolina, and I took a hit with my risky pick of TCU. Nice first round of picks Aids Virus... next week we will have many more games to choose from, dont give up !

Michigan got boo'd man, that was a tough game to watch. Loved Oregon, but was disappointed by Michigan.

yeah, I feel REALLY bad for the Michigan seniors. Those losses are really not their fault... Michigan's D is just plain horrible.

[The Dark Knight]

It probably didn't help that Henne got hurt in the 2nd quarter.
Not that it would have mattered....

Just like to say to longhorns, the three teams he said were 1-AA won their games. Funny how karma works isn't it.

Oh and worker, just wondering are we doing like a running total for throughout the season, or is it just weekly winners.

If anyone wants to jump in this week go ahead. I can always average the scores at the end. That also goes for anyone currently playing who might miss a week, hopefully that wont happen though.


Woot I was the only one to pick South Florida. :bigsmile:

If they keep it up, it's gonna be LLLLLLLLLoyd Carr.

[Shaddix]

Man how about the VT LSU game, LSU seems to be playing like a number 1 team in my opinion to knock a number 9 team that bad. But also I believe VT was over ranked anyways, but anyways BC wins again :bigsmile:

[CRX687]

Well, being 1 or 2 really doesn't matter, especially at this point in the season. I think SC deserves a chance to show what it's got against Neb before they're dropped.

Oh that is definitely true, but what I was getting at is if USC is not up to the task of playing like a number 1 football team, then LSU is.
