Alabama must be hella jinxed.

Mt. Cody out of the game right after halftime, unable to put pressure on his knee and was carted out to the locker rooms.

[Akiyama]

How does that make you jinxed? Just curious. Everyone has injuries, lol. It'd be bad if they lost Caldwell or Carter on their O-Line. Losing Cody is big though too, but not nearly as big. (See what I did there?)

[Byrd]

And North Carolina chokes.

[octopus]

Well, I guess Penn State woke up ;o

[Plow]

KU just converted its first 3rd down.

They scored a td on 3rd down with 58 seconds left to cut the lead to 14 to get said first conversion lol.

[Arvin]

killing self

glad bama came through on that defensive stand. could have put coal in my ass and I would have made a diamond.

cody out estimated couple weeks. hopefully back soon but LSU game at latest I hope. was hilarious to see him @ fullback, for such a huge man he's a damn good athlete.

Well I was wrong about if Bama opened up, it'd be a blowout. Ole Miss came back and made it a game. Good defensive stands when they needed them.

I Lol'd too when he came in at FB.

Michigan State looked putrid. Penn State was sluggish, but opened up as the game went on. Texas had no trouble on their first drive. God Mizzou's defense is just... not there.

ALso, hooray for me making a good call on Virginia beating UNC.

[Koyuki]

Well I sure as hell can say I'm beyond impressed with what Garcia has been able to do lol.

[Kirin]

Michigan State did look anemic today, but there was a good thing to happen in Pryor's coming out party...

Michigan State can finally play a game without Hoyer! Yay!

To add to that though, the team itself still looks like a 6-2 team, and they have every ability to beat everyone else they still play...but they had a bad bad game. Hopefully the team will seriously look at not playing Hoyer at starting QB and see how the team gels around that. If state goes 6-3 ill be worried, but 6-2 and 3-1 Big 10 is still a solid start to Dantonio's first "real" year.

UGA looks to keep improving, but fod god sakes that UGA/Vandy score should have been 60-14. 5 dropped interceptions? Come on UGA. Hold onto those. But so far we have improved reciever play, better watch on penalties (two of those pass interference plays were b-u-l-l-s-h-i-t), and we are apparently able to deal with injuries to our left tackles well enough. Our depth there is destroyed, but the guys we have playing the position now are learning quickly and will be 2 and maybe 3 deep by GA Tech. Stacy Searls is a defensive coaching genius.

Alabama wont be getting as many #1 votes this week I think. 2 games in a row that were close ones...and their lack of depth is a big deal now that cody is out for a bit. They should be concerned about Tennessee at this point pulling one out on them.

Penn State finally woke up.

It pisses me off that USC is going to get off ten times over from all the press dicksucking a 69-0 win over noone else in the Pac-10 is somehow all of a sudden impressive. USC shouldn't make the BCS title game this year unless 2 loss conference champs start showing up. Just shouldnt be.

Texas right now...shit. 28-0 on Mizzou.

Can't think of much else right now, gonna go drink to celebrate UGA's victory.

[Akiyama]

Yeah. The score of the UGA/Vandy game had me go wtf. They kept Vandy in the game with their dropped INTs and such.

I really liked the look of Pete Carroll when they went up like 69-0 on WSU. He regrets it, but knows he has to do it for the BCS Standings.

They are also the fourth Pac-10 team to score 60+ on Washington State. He almost HAD to score that many just to keep up with the Joneses. If he scores less than Oregon, Oregon State or Cal did, he looks weak.

Ole Miss and Bama have always been fairly close games, and this was was supposed to be that way (if not an upset). #2 still goes to the NC so I'm not worried, possibly get lucky against Texas.

edit: kentucky doing terrible, Gamecocks/LSU is a good game.

[Byrd]

Halftime score from Conference USA:

Tulsa 49, UTEP 28.

Go go defense.

[octopus]

Texas completely dominating Mizzou... wow.

[melbufrauma]

Colt Mcoy for Heisman

[Ryany]

I want to see Syracuse play Washington State. It could be for bragging rights on who is the worst BCS conference team.

Washington might bitch about getting left out of the game....actually maybe the Apple Cup will be that game. Syracuse might be better than Washington.

[Brien]

Colt Mcoy for Heisman

o, yah 90% pass compilation rate vs missou

[Byrd]

Washington might bitch about getting left out of the game....actually maybe the Apple Cup will be that game. Syracuse might be better than Washington.

I've watched Oregon State play both Washington State and Washington in the last two weeks. There's no question that right now Washington is better than Washington State. Washington looks like a bad football team, but at least they're not giving up 60+ points a week.

[Gregorio]

Penn State played shitty the first quarter until they realized that they're the number 3 team in the country and they should be dominating Michigan...then they started playing. They did the same thing vs. Temple and Purdue.

Even though I'm happy they stomped Michigan for the first time in 40 years, I'm not completely happy. If they come out next week vs. Ohio State looking like they just got out of bed like they did vs Michigan and Temple then OSU is going to capitalize on it. PSU needs to show up and play all day, and remind OSU that they don't know how to score in the red zone and make a statement that PSU is a national championship calibur team.

Speaking of national championship teams...bama's been lettin teams hang the past couple games. Another game like that and PSU might jump them, or bama might lose outright. If they don't seriously shape up Florida(?) will spank them in the SEC championship.
