CFB 2023 Week 12: A thread chasing the points early

canderson · Nov 14, 2023

On paper, one of the worst lineups we've had all year. Washington at Oregon State is very intriguing. Texas at Iowa State is probably the most important game of the week, which I dread for multiple factors.

Harvard Yale is your best Noon game. Sad day. (Except for UCLA USC and Georgia Tenn and Huskies Beavers)

Actually Tulane @ FAU is good too, for noon, can Tulane keep its NY6 bowl? But stupid ESPN+

Washington/OSU is clearly the game of the week. It's two top 10 teams with major playoff implications given OSU can totally turn the playoff picture on its head with their games this week and in Civil War and given they are good enough to do so if their secondary can hold up. The only implication of Texas/ISU is Texas either punching their ticket to the B12 title game or getting thrown in the mud with the rest of the 2/3 loss teams.

I'll be there! Last time for The Game in New Haven while my kiddo is an undergrad so we thought we better make the trip once.

I'll also throw in a plug for the Brawl of the Wild-- FCS #4 Montana State (8-2) at #3 Montana (9-1), noon Mountain time on ESPN+. Bobcats throttled the Grizzlies last year and despite a strong season in Missoula I'm kind of expecting the same outcome. I've been to a couple UM games this season and it just doesn't seem like they're that good. I'd love to be proven wrong.

The 10-0 #5-ranked Huskies are actually underdogs in Corvallis? I'm sure that's never happened before.

Under defeated JMU can't go to a bowl game?

It’s such bullshit.

I mean, the rule -- intended to introduce friction to discourage schools from changing levels willy-nilly -- might be dumb, but JMU knew that it was there, so all the lawsuit-threatening seems uncalled for.

That’s true. JMU knew the rules. The rules are dumb but agreed.

ESPN Gameday is onsite at JMU though.

From the moment Xavier Weaver jogged into the end zone against Stanford to take a massive lead, Colorado has lost 5 straight, including the collapse against Stanford.

CarolinaBeerGuy · Nov 18, 2023

Nothing screams college gameday like the Jonas Brothers.

Two back to back awful decisions by JJ in the red zone.

Great understudy for Mac.

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

Michigan is playing brain-dead now.

canderson · Nov 18, 2023

There might be 10,000 people at this Miami game. Incredibly sad.

Sad Sam Jones · Nov 18, 2023

Oklahoma looking like hot garbage until a 100-yd pick-six to take the lead.

Army beat Coastal Carolina. That’s cool.

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

If you'd never seen Tagovailoa or McCarthy before today, you'd probably pick Tags in a draft. Michigan also blows overall since the first half.

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

Jesus McCarthy, biggest pass of your career and you completely blow it.

BigJimEd · Nov 18, 2023

Good use of timeout. Save yourself a half yard penalty on 3rd and 18. Brilliant!

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

Michigan goes crazy with the interception but it's like a good punt.

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

Maybe if McCarthy got rid of that stupid helmet of his he'd be better.

canderson · Nov 18, 2023

Louisville’s #3 is an absolute idiot.

Dr. Gonzo · Nov 18, 2023

That safety call against Maryland was ass

BigJimEd · Nov 18, 2023

that's a tough call

johnmd20 · Nov 18, 2023

That call against Maryland needs to be investigated by Congress.

shawnrbu · Nov 18, 2023

Maryland’s best chance of tying it up is JJ throwing.

I know. Tags doesn't even look like Brady.

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

3 yards and a cloud of dust

shawnrbu · Nov 18, 2023

Ref just making up the spot.

loshjott · Nov 18, 2023

Spot sucked too. My son is a Terp and his GF goes to Mich. They’re at the game. One of them is happy.

Edit: OK the spot looked good.

mauf · Nov 18, 2023

I thought he got it on second effort. But you couldn’t tell on replay.

Al Zarilla · Nov 18, 2023

A little pitchout once in a while, Michigan, would be wonderful.

johnmd20 · Nov 18, 2023

Big 10 sent word.

"Do not allow Michigan to lose."

The refs heeded the call.

shawnrbu · Nov 18, 2023

Why isn’t Michigan kneeling?

Helmet Head · Nov 18, 2023

Not sure if Michigan lost this game it would have even mattered. They win the next one and the Big 10 championship and they would have likely been in the playoffs. Michigan’s passing game may be their ultimate undoing if they don’t win this year. They have the defense and running game but that may not be enough.

canderson · Nov 18, 2023

Michigan will get its ass kicked the first time they face a team with an offensive pulse. Just like last year.

Who kicked Michigan’s ass last year?

TCU’s offense certainly kicked Michigan’s defenses ass last year. Then TCU went on to make the championship game unwatchable losing by 58 points.
