[canderson]

I'll be in Texas and won't be able to watch any games Saturday, but I'll give some predictions on the bigger games.
 
- Baylor blows out WVU. Like, I think they win by 30.
- A&M beats Alabama, something like 24-17
- Michigan beats Michigan State in a game that's not too close, maybe by 10 or so
- LSU beats Florida
- Ohio State hammers Penn State
- ND hangs on for dear life to beat USC

 

[sachmoney]

Despite the big match ups in the SEC, Game Day is headed to Ann Arbor. I'm a bit surprised by this because I thought they'd hold off until the Ohio State game to do this, but I guess, they really wanted to get a Harbaugh trip in while they could. 

- Michigan beats Michigan State in a game that's not too close, maybe by 10 or so

I really hope so.

 

[SoxJox]

Didn't you mean tOSU hammers and sickles Penn State?

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

A great series of games running from noon straight to about ten between:
Iowa/Northwestern 12:00
Bama/A&M and Mich/Mich St 3:30
Florida/LSU 7

 

[PseuFighter]

going to the notre dame / usc game tonight. never been to notre dame before. anything i should try to check out?

 

[tims4wins]

Hawkeyes seemingly getting stronger as the season goes on. That win in Madison was iffy but nice performances the last couple weeks. I think they end up playing for the B1G title

 

[tims4wins]

Um Memphis is good at football?

 

[Jnai]

Iowa dominating.

 

[tims4wins]

Memphis gonna pull it off. 13 straight wins

 

[Dollar]

Hey Alabama, I doubt there has ever been a situation where taking a fair catch inside the 5 has been a good decision.  Ever.

 

[tims4wins]

Maybe it is just me but after 7 years of mediocrity at best at Michigan, I imagine opposing coaches now look across the field and seeing Harbaugh and thinking "aw shit they actually have a real coach now we're gonna have to take this seriously". But maybe I just hate Hoke and to a lesser degree RichRod

In a football related thought MSU can't run so far but Cook is chewing them up - really sharp

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Poooooooooooor aggy.

 

[Average Reds]

A bogus targeting call in the Michigan game may have a big influence on this one.

 

[Jnai]

That ejection call should only be done if it's super super obvious dirty play. That's just a bad call.

 

[Average Reds]

I understand why they threw the flag. Don't understand why they confirmed the targeting call after looking at replays.

 

[LuckyBen]

Is there a team that is more constantly overrated than A&M?

 

[soxhop411]

Officiating is horrible in this Michigan game

 

[soxhop411]

3 plays being reviewed in a row

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Refs doing what they can to get UM a TD here. Progress stopped, by quite a bit.

 

[soxhop411]

Holy crap. These refs need to be fired

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Zebras should be ashamed of that effort.

 

[johnmd20]

Shouldn't have been a touchdown.

 

[thehitcat]

Yeah the officiating has been horrible both ways, the Targeting call, progress stopped, the incomplete pass that just got overturned.  It's too bad really it detracts from the game even if it has mostly evened out. 

 

[soxhop411]

Zebras should be ashamed of that effort.

This should be these refs last game

 

[sachmoney]

these refs can go to hell

 

[thehitcat]

Yeah that's another atrocious call.  If you're going to hold the whistle on  a play like that you can't call a player for coming in late.

 

[Al Zarilla]

these refs can go to hell

He just jumped on the pile like players have been doing for 100 years.

 

[soxhop411]

How the fuck was that not a block in the back?

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

A total of eight replay stoppages now in Ann Arbor! Crazy.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Another absurd call.  The announcers are right.  If you even have to look at it that long, then the call should stand.  Period.  It's the very definition of not inconclusive. 

 

[sachmoney]

I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW

 

[canderson]

Happily wrong about aggy.

 

[Luis Taint]

I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW

Sweating this one out?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Rutgers just tied up Indiana at 52 each.  The extra point was blocked to keep it tied.  They've scored 19 unanswered in the 4th, and they've done it all without their WR, Caroo, who left with an injury earlier after scoring 3 touchdowns.  He has 9 touchdowns in 13 quarters that he's played this year, which is absurd. 

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

OH MY GOD

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Are you fucking kidding me?  Did that just happen?  

 

[Luis Taint]

Hahahhhahahhahah

 

[The Napkin]

HOLY SHIT

 

[ypioca]

Oh, Michigan. 

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

That was unreal.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

INSANITY

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Wowza

 

[Dave Stapleton]

BC up early 7-0 after a turnover in Clemson turnover.

 

[The Napkin]

that's unreal. like, you all saw that happen too, right? I didn't have a seizure?

 

[canderson]

WOW

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Just wow.  One of those plays that will be talked about for decades and decades and decades.  Like the band on the field level play. 

 

[AMS25]

OY, really Michigan?

 

[Marciano490]

Screw you Harbaugh.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Wow
