So after an amazing Saturday of football and someone mentioning the lack of a thread, I decided to go ahead and start up the thread.

Let the chatter begin..........
 
My impressions:

-West Virginia is good...but I don't think they should be any higher than #5...giving up 339 yards to an average Maryland offense is not good...if someone can stop the run game, it would force Pat White to throw the ball. In the Maryland game he threw for 44 yards, granted that he didn't really need to throw because they have Steve Slaton. So I still need to see more from WVU, the Louisville game should be a good test.

-Notre Dame looked very over-rated. I'm not saying they aren't good, they are, but that was embarassing. Maybe Michigan is just very underrated, which is possible seeing as ND still whipped Penn State real good.

-Auburn and LSU are really good

-The ACC is not doing well this year (thus far)

And because I am a Maryland fan:

-After they gave up 28 straight points to West Virginia, the Terps played pretty well. After Steve Slaton's 169 yard first quarter he only gained 30 more yards in 3 quarters. The Maryland offense was pretty impressive during the 2nd and 3rd quarters...and the defense stopped West Virginia most of the game after the 1st quarter. I was happy to see that Maryland didn't at all let down even after being down 28 points early in the game...they never gave up, which is a good sign.
 
I'm actually surprised Alabama scored 40 points in a game.. granted it wasn't exactly a challenge, but they probably couldn't have scored 40 points against a defense of inflatable women after the Prothro injury last year.

The Auburn/LSU game was definitely one of the best games I've seen in a long time. Vaughn has been nailing 50+ yard field goals this season, and then misses a 20 something yarder?? It was a game of defense, that's for sure. People were writing Auburn off all day yesterday though, and they came through.

Now about the shitty calls in that game.. if I remember correctly, they were going to call pass interference on Auburn from a deflected pass. NCAA rules state that a deflected pass can't be called as pass interference.

Now before anybody states that there was bad officiating in the game against LSU, I disagree. I lost count of the illegal formation calls against LSU.. I was really surprised they made that mistake that many times.
 
Woo-hoo! Finally a NCAA thread!!

I'm glad Auburn moved up to #2. It really doesn't matter, though, because we have a hell of a schedule left. We still play Florida, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Georgia, and Alabama. Hopefully we'll get to the SEC championship game, where if we go will probably play Florida or Georgia again.

It's a great year for NCAA football. Let's get it started!

I'll be at the Georgia game, I believe row 8 behind the 20 yard line. Also going up to Tuscaloosa, row 8 behind the 40. That night, I may get the shit kicked out of me for wearing orange.

I think Florida is going to be a tough one, but the Auburn defense should pull through. You can tell these teams have been watching film on Kenny Irons though, as they've been stopping him alot better since the Washington game. He's a tough little bastard, one play that sticks out in my mind is how he drug about 5 yellow jerseys three yards to get a 6 yard gain.

The Alabama game.. it's funny about our rivalry and how people don't understand it. Coaches don't lose jobs in our state over rankings, bowls, or championships. If they slack on the Auburn/Alabama game (known as the Iron Bowl here), heads start rolling.

Another thing that got me during the LSU game.. I think Tubberville and Borges held back some of their plays. No reverses, no flashy trickery (except for Cox's behind the back fake). When Auburn gets in a pinch, they bring out some crazy shit from the playbook.

As for the Clemson victory over FSU.. that one shocked the hell out of me. There's been a shitload of upsets already this season, and it isn't even October yet.

I was at the game and wasn't shocked in the least. Our offense is absolutely anemic. It's a real shame to see all the talent we have on that side of the ball go to waste. Jeff Bowden's play calling is some of the worst I've ever seen. Bobby is really starting to piss people off around here due to his reluctance to do anything about our impotent offense. We always blamed Rix for our troubles the last few years, but now that he's gone, the only common denominator is Jeff Bowden. The FSU of the 90's was one of the best dynasties college football had ever seen. Fourteen straight years finishing in the top 5, 2 National Championships, 2 Heisman Trophy winners, etc. That team died as soon as Mark Richt left to go to Georgia. He left right before the 2000 National Championship game against Oklahoma, and surprise surprise, the once unstoppable FSU offense managed an overwhelming 2 points in that game. I had high hopes that Jeff Bowden would somehow miraculously turn himself into a competent offensive coordinator after seeing how well we played in the ACC Championship game and Orange Bowl last year, but my hopes are all gone now. I just hope that somehow Bobby either comes to his senses and replaces Jeff one way or another, or he finally calls it a career.

I love Bobby Bowden as much as anybody, and for his style of coaching the game has not passed him by. Bobby hasn't done any real coaching in years but his CEO type approach to the program has always worked wonders. Bobby's southern charm always woos recruits, and Mickey Andrews always provides one of the best defensive units in the country. Couple those two with a "decent" offense and FSU is automatically a contender for the National Title, too bad it hasn't been like that for the last 6 years. If Bobby can't accept the fact that his son is not cut out to be the offensive coordinator of a big time program like FSU, I dare say, he should step down. Somebody like Rich Rodriguez (who is rumored to have an FSU clause in his contract) could reinvigorate this team and return it to being the premier program in the state of Florida and a perennial national championship favorite.
 
I was at the FSU game as well and I agree with gofishn, there is nothing else I can add. He hit the nail right on the head. Jeff Bowden isn't cut out for it, period. Sadly, I don't think anything will be done about it until Bobby Bowden steps down. Bobby won't be fired, the man has a: stained glass window on the stadium, a statue in back of the stadium, and the field is named after him! I like to call Doak Campbell Stadium 'The Church of Bobby', heh. Anyways, just look at the end of the game. We (FSU) opened it up and started moving the ball and scored.

FSU could easily be 0-3 right now. We have to make a change and soon or we are going to seriously get burned down the road. Hell, even games against Rice, Western Michigan, and Duke are not gimmies at this point. Well...maybe Duke is. :D

I didn't watch the game, but when I caught some highlights and was kinda in "what the fuck??" mode.


I feel your pain though.. remember, once upon a time, we had an assclown known as Terry Bowden coaching Auburn. You think Bobby is bad now? You should've seen this queef trying to coach Auburn!
 
I, personally, think WVU is way overrated. Note, I am a UGA fan, but I think my comments are valid. They haven't played anyone this year. No offense to Maryland, but they aren't exactly Top 25 material. WVU's main strength is their OL, from what I saw in the Maryland game. They can push the DL around, and Slaton can pick and choose. You get a good DL (an Auburn, etc) and that's not going to happen. I think Pat White is a fraud of a QB, even worse than a Mike Vick. They play a team with a good DL, good cover corners and some hard hitting safeties, and they are going to get shut down. UGA last year was totally not prepared and too overconfident from the Sugar Bowl being in Atlanta. Everyone says WVU blew out UGA, but they tend to forget they only won by a FG, and it took a fake punt to do that. It doesn't appear that WVU has any kind of good defense to go along with that offense, the Louisville game should be fun to watch.

I do think Auburn runs the table, though. The Florida defense has some huge holes if you can exploit them, and I just don't trust Chris Leak. With UGA's QB situation, we might make the SEC game, but we aren't going to win. If Charles Johnson returns for his senior season, then I'd have to say we're the odds-on favorites to win the conference.

I'm not kidding when I say this, but if Mississippi State can get their shit together on offense they have a real chance to beat West Virginia. MSU has the 2nd best run defense in the SEC, 1st being LSU, and if they can stop their RB it's all over. I'm going to be at that game.

As for stopping Kenny Irons, I think the Defenses were just amazing. Let's put it this way: getting 50 yards against LSU or MSU is like getting 150 against anyone else. Their run defenses are that good.
 
Good job on the thread. I forgot to make one.

HOKIES!!

ACC is weak this year so the Hokies still should have a good shot at the title despite all the players that are gone from last years team.
 
Yeah, I cannot believe that Notre Dame is SO hyped. I'm so glad Michigan put a whoopin' on them. That was GREAT. Also, Brady Quinn being the #1 QB of the draft (so they are saying). I guess Henne should come out then, since he has had better stats as a freshman and sophmore than Quinn.

Go Blue!

The ACC is very weak this year, it's VT's for the taking. Who can challenge them? The only team in the coastal who has a shot is Miami and they are a dog this year. How about the championship game? It's a grab bag of FSU, Clemson, and BC and none of those stand out. I'll predict Clemson vs. VT.

I'm with you on that prediction. VT will win, but won't get a great BCS game due to the weakness of the conference. VT/WVU/Louisville is my call (because, unfortunately, the Big East is still eligible).

(Because the SEC winner is playing in the title game, bitches!)

Exactly. Even Maryland, who could be ranked in the 40s or 50s at best, gained 339 yards on WV. And Pat White threw for 49 yards i believe. As soon as someone can stop Steve Slaton the game is over.

I'm kind of mad about Auburn not being televised this weekend, regardless of the team they played (Buffalo).

Alabama lost due to a shitty kicker... I'm kinda shocked they lost though.

Also.. how the fuck did ND pull off that comeback? I leave and go watch Jackass 2, and the bastards pull it off!

ND has to have a great comeback to barely beat an unranked team, yet the media will only talk about their resiliance and great defense (that allowed 37 points to MSU).

As I watched the first half, I was wondering to myself whether Michigan State was going to move into the top 15 and all of the sudden become the 2nd best team in the nation like the Wolverines supposedly are. . . .

Anyway, as for the Aubur game Skylander, my wife was there and said Auburn stunk up the place. Sure they were sans Irons, but the offensive looked way shitty in the first half. I think they were just playing through the motions and not expecting Buffalo to come and hit them in the mouth, which they did.

Has anyone else noticed that 40% of the top 10 teams are from the SEC? It sucks that they all have to play each other and more than likely they all will have at least one loss (though I'm hoping Auburn can pull it out!). Of course, none of them have any offensive, and we all know that if a Pac-10 team beats someone 34-30, they are well balanced, while if an SEC team beats another SEC team 7-3, they are fit to be in the top 5! :roll: That's just the way it works, I guess. C'est la vie. No love for the SEC!

People say the same thing about Georgia. They almost lost to Colorado, who had lost like 9 or 10 straight games dating back to last season. MSU is light years ahead of Colorado. If memory serves me, MSU was 30ish in the expanded rankings before last week. Colorado was much much farther down.

i think the difference is that anyone who watched the Georgia game knew they were just having a bad game. While ND, on the other, played like they normally do. People are beginning to realize that ND just isn't all that great, or at least not a top 10 team.

Yeah, I was watching the stats as they happenned in the Auburn Athletics java window since my home theatre wouldn't pick it up on the radio (shows field positions, stats as they happen, etc) and couldn't believe the score at the half. It was simply a game of not giving a shit and running the second string, but already the articles were being posted of how Auburn is overrated, "this is the same defense that held LSU to 3 points, yet Buffalo scored a TD, etc." I think they were wanting to rest players for the South Carolina game Thursday, which I can understand. They underestimated Buffalo though, and they came to play.

I haven't checked the polls this morning, but Auburn was #2 in the AP, yet #3 in the Coaches poll (with USC at #2). Didn't Arizona hold the game close for a while, and LSU slaughtered Arizona 40-something to 3 earlier in the year? That says something to the degree in which USC's rankings are inflated.

Dem' Georgia bois go strait to da hart.
 
I went to the Ohio State - Penn State game this last Saturday. It was wet and boring in the first half, but there was almost a fight between a college girl and an older lady right behind me so that kept it interesting.

The older woman was complaining that the the college girl was in the wrong section and even went so far as to ask to see her ticket. The college girl showed her the ticket and the lady says "You're in the wrong section because we paid $69 for these tickets and you only paid $29". To which the college girl of course responds, "That's because I'm a student, bitch".

The lady then replies with the classic, "Does your mother know that you say the "B" word? That's not very nice." It got pretty heated (and funny) from that point out right up until the point where the lady says "Well, I have the ticket for section "7A Row 33 Seat 24" so I'm not moving". It just so happens that we were in section 5A. :)

Anyways, that got me through the first half and the second half of football was equally enjoyable to watch. I'm not a big Ohio State fan, so I realized somewhere in the third quarter that I was cheering for the possibility not to be surrounded by 100,000 pissed off fans. Go Bucks!
 
A big bump for another weekend of football.

I know you all are going to tune into ESPN tonight to watch my #2 ranked Auburn Tigers play the University of South Carolina. It should be a fun game to watch. I wonder what the Old Ball Coach has up his sleeve against that Auburn D. I know he doesn't want a repeat of last year's whoopin' Auburn put on him.

We've got some other great games, too. Florida is playing Alabama. That game is big because I'm sure Florida wants to avenge that loss from last year.

Ohio State v. Iowa should be big as well. But does anyone really think Iowa can pull it off?
 
Wow, I guess no one likes College Football anymore.

Anyway, Auburn's Defense looked horrible tonight. Offense played great, I thought, considering how both teams controlled the ball so well. USC played a great game. I don't think Muschamps had a great D-scheme. But oh well, a win's a win, especially on the road. Too bad it's all about finesse points in the rankings.

I still love it. I just don't get to see any Thursday games anymore.
 
Jesus tapdancing christ at the game last night.. I thought I was about to rip an arm off of my leather couch. Auburn keeps posession the ENTIRE third quarter, and Spurrier almost ties it up at the end of the game with desperate fourth down conversions.

I've read some message boards and listened to some radio this morning.. people are barking about how Auburn is overrated. South Carolina put up a hell of a fight, that's for sure. That makes Auburn 5-0.. yet USC is 3-0. I think Iowa has a chance at them this weekend.
 
Auburn isn't overrated...yet. They've really only played LSU. Not saying that Georgia has played anyone, either, but...


...They didn't score on us:D
 
Well, it was another exciting week of NCAA football. i was really hoping to see an upset in the Washington State/USC game. It would have been great for Auburn. And what about Ohio State crushing Iowa and solidifying themselves at number 1? Seems like the OSU/Michigan game will be pretty bad ass, regardless of the pre-hype given by that retard Corso.

I don't think anyone can doubt that October will be dominated by great SEC football. Next week LSU comes to the swamp to play Florida. On the same day, #13 Tennesse travels to Athens to play #10 UGA. The following week, Florida travels to the Plains to meet my Auburn Tigers. The month ends with the 'world's largest cocktail party' when UGA and Florida face off in Jacksonville.

The worst part is, Gameday probably won't come to a single one! It just sucks that so many SEC teams are in the top 10 because some of them are going to get knocked out. I just hope Auburn can survive this month.

Last year Iron Bowl tickets were going for ~$500 by some estimates. There's no way I would have sold them, though. It's a tough call to make, especially since you know the game will be on TV. There's just something special about being in the stadium watching your favorite team play their biggest rival, especially when the two teams are actually undefeated.

Right now, 2 tickets for the OSU-Michigan game that are worse than mine are going for over $1400 on eBay. This is going to get ridiculous.

If they go high enough to buy a 50" HDTV, lotsa beer, and fund some of the new gaming releases of the season.. I say sell them. :) I'm going to the Iron Bowl this year, but it's in Tuscaloosa.. and I stand firmly by the Alabama/Auburn game as being one of if not the biggest rivalries in college football. I know they're getting the 5th win in a row.. but I'm wondering if I'll be walking out of the place with a black eye and a jail record.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']So much for the Hokies. :([/QUOTE]

Ehh the ACC being as crappy as it has been this year gives VT a chance still. I mean NC State beat BC and it seemed like they werent gonna be within 30 points before the game.

Not that the ACC is terrible, but looking at the teams it has, it should be a whole lot better.

I'm going to be in Tuscaloosa, but I'm still working on getting a ticket. I was there two years ago when Campbell took over the game in the second half. It was so awesome watching Auburn finish the regular season undefeated at Tuscaloosa. Nothing, I mean nothing, is better than being in Tuscaloosa after whooping the tide and being able to mock them with, "Hey Bama! We just beat the hell out of you! Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer, Go to Hell Alabama!" Something about that feels so sweet!

I agree with that. The move to the ACC by VT, BC, and Miami seemed to really weaken the Big East and strengthen the ACC at first, but it almost seems as if the reverse has happened. Big East football is pretty exciting right now.

If Marcus Vick wasn't a complete asshole he could still be at VT and helping us win. I'm glad he's gone with his attitude though.

I wouldn't be concerned about the ACC. VT and BC will be fine in the long run and you can be damn sure Miami will be a superpower again once they clean house on the coaching staff. FSU has a very young team and I'm willing to bet if we had somebody else (anybody else) calling the offensive plays we'd easily be a top 10 team right now and in the hunt for the National Championship.
 
Needless to say, I got drunk last night. I couldn't even talk about the game for a while.

I think Auburn still isn't physically back to 100% after the LSU game. Kenny Irons had a foot injury, Brandon Cox had a knee and an ankle injury, and their center was out due to injury. LSU seems to be playing slower also.. I think Auburn and LSU basically fucked themselves from playing so hard. As for Arkansas.. their damned quarterback is a freshman. This guy has won his first four games. He's going to be something to watch.. plus, Arkansas' running back was getting like 7 yards every time he got the ball.

Regardless of Auburn's performance though, there were some questionable calls yesterday.

Now watch Auburn get their shit together and end up beating Florida.

This guy has won his first four games. He's going to be something to watch.. plus, Arkansas' running back was getting like 7 yards every time he got the ball.

Regardless of Auburn's performance though, there were some questionable calls yesterday.

Now watch Auburn get their shit together and end up beating Florida.[/QUOTE]

I didn't watch the game (I was at the MSU/WV games so I missed the Auburn and Florida game), but it sounds to me that Auburn just got beat. I was so pissed in the stadium, especially since I was sittinng around a bunch of retarded MSU fans who hate Tommy Tubberville generically and Auburn specifically. I mean, damn, Auburn has been playing through the motions ever since the LSU game. Sure they were hurt, but that's no excuse because great teams battle back from stuff like that.

The big thing that seemed to hurt us was the loss of Joe Cope. I read in the paper that there was a lot of miscommunication on the line due to the new center not reading the defense appropriately. And 5 sacks? Damn, it's like last year against Tech.

All I know is we can't afford to hang our heads down low, and we really can't bring this weak sauce play into the Plains next week. Florida will kill us. Depending on how the players respond to the loss, this will either be one loss year for Auburn, or potentially 4.
