NCAA Football 2015: Week 8 Discussion

If my OSU Cowboys knock off the Kansas Jayhawks this weekend they will be 7-0 for the 3rd time in the Coach Gundy era, the 3rd time in my lifetime, and the 4th time ever. (Wow the Cowboys sucked for a long long time). Since it's SO rare for them I'm skeptical they can do it, but Kansas is sooo bad... Hopefully this will be the first convincing blowout for the Cowboys. I do think they're playing way over their head, they've had so many lucky wins this year. But I don't want KU to be the team to end the magic.

canderson · Oct 20, 2015

Kansas has a legit argument to being the worst FBS team in the country. OSU isn't great by any stretch but they should easily beat KU.

RingoOSU · Oct 20, 2015

Yeah but there's always Squinky.

I don't believe in curses, but I've also learned not to get my hopes up too much about the Cowboys. In all likelihood though, it will be Texas Tech or Iowa State that provide the embarrassing loss. TCU, Baylor, and OU will also be losses, but they won't be surprising. If the Cowboys go 9-3 it will be an awesome season.

Barrett to start this week for OSU.

Not a huge surprise I guess, given the second half this past week. But, I can't get over the feeling that the inability to commit fully to one of these guys is going to end up coming back to bite them.

canderson · Oct 20, 2015

Gameday is going to James Madison. That's cool.

semsox · Oct 22, 2015

So that same USC team that is in turmoil is favored by 3.5 over an undefeated #3 Utah team....

canderson · Oct 22, 2015

Temple is 7-0 for the first time in its 121 year history of playing football.

Infield Infidel · Oct 23, 2015

Ucla's kicker hit a 60 yarder with room to spare

Anyone else watching this crazy Tulsa/Memphis game? The teams have scored a combined 28 points in the first 9.5 minutes of the 2nd half. Unbeaten and 18th ranked Memphis now leads 49-35 with about 5 minutes to go in the 3rd. Paxton Lynch already has 408 yards passing and 3td's, and Dane Evans has 325 yards and 4td's. 3 receivers are already over 100 yards, including Tulsa's Keyarris Garrett who has 8 catches for 183 yards and 3tds, including a hail mary that he caught to end the first half. Fun shit.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

Baylor and Texas will both be playing in a monsoon today. 3-4" rain likely to fall during those respective games.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

Texas just killed KSU's QB on the first play. Huge massive hit, wobbled walking off field.

Bosoxen · Oct 24, 2015

Swooooooooopes!

PaulinMyrBch · Oct 24, 2015

Clemson just methodically having their way on offense. Miami committing just enough personal fouls to remind everyone of the glory years.

21-0 in the first quarter.

PaulinMyrBch · Oct 24, 2015

Kayaa just looked at his O-line after getting up from the sack like "you guys know you suck, right?" They are down early and are going to have to throw and its likely he gets killed today. Actually he's going through concussion protocol. Hate to see that.

Not going to make it to Clemson this year. Will be in Columbia for the Clemson- Carolina game. Unfortunately Spurrier won't be there.

berniecarbo1 · Oct 24, 2015

I think.....I am watching the final game of the Al Golden era at the U.

I might be the only one of my college friends not in Harrisonburg today. They had more people show up for when the ESPN buses arrived than most schools do for Gameday.

Bosoxen · Oct 24, 2015

Texas finally opening it up a little bit. Should help loosen up the defense a tad to open up the run game again.

Bosoxen · Oct 24, 2015

What the fuck are these Texas coaches doing? How have they not pounded into Heard's head the concept of throwing the damn ball away?

Bosoxen · Oct 24, 2015

Texas defense finally comes up with a big play!

Kremlin Watcher · Oct 24, 2015

Swoopes!

bbc23 · Oct 24, 2015

And Swoopes just runs all over K-State for 40 odd yards in 3 plays to put it away.

Bosoxen · Oct 24, 2015

Horns are on a winning streak!

And the crowd sings "Swoopes, there it is!" Love it.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

Texas is getting better. Little things they're doing better.

KState is pretty terrible right now but they matchup isn't great for Texas and they played pretty well. Need three more wins which I doubt they do but they have some things to build on.

Need a QB who can throw still.

Kansas and Iowa State are must wins. Then you have to get 1 of @WV or TT. I think it's very possible.

Bosoxen · Oct 24, 2015

Beating Iowa State and Kansas is no longer far fetched. Say they go into Morgantown at 5-4, needing to win just one of the next three. A tall order, to be sure, but sand aggy at home on Thanksgiving night is as good a setup as you can get for stealing one.

Edit: Or what bb said.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

BTW, horrific news out of Stillwater. Drunk driver slammed into OK State homecoming crowd and killed 3 and 8 are critical and were flown to hospitals. Many more hospitalized.

Edit: a 25 year old woman was arrested for DUI.

Just coming to post that. Hoping our very own Ringo is ok.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

Won't be surprised at all if Maryland manhandles Penn State today.

WayBackVazquez · Oct 24, 2015

UMass up 14-3 over #19 Toledo.

JoePoulson · Oct 24, 2015

Woo pig sooie. Good lord what a game against Auburn today. The Hogs are good for an epic OT battle every few years.

Deathofthebambino · Oct 24, 2015

Navy QB, Keenan Reynolds had 2 more rushing touchdowns today. Now at 75 for his career. FBS record of 77 by Montee Ball likely to fall soon.

WayBackVazquez · Oct 24, 2015

28-10, UMass. Three INTs for the defense in the first half.

And just held on a fourth down.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

Hey so far I was right. Maryland is absolutely dominating PSU. If they hadn't turned the ball over twice in the red zone this would already be blowout city.

They really should bench Hackenberg. He is useless.

WayBackVazquez · Oct 24, 2015

Mark Whipple is pretty bad at clock management, like many of his peers.

WayBackVazquez · Oct 24, 2015

Looked like there were more band members on the field than in the stands at halftime at Gillette.

canderson · Oct 24, 2015

Anyone heard from Ringo? Anyone know if he was planning to go to today's parade/game?

dcmissle · Oct 24, 2015

Oh Gus. 56 to Arkansas in a losing effort. Really?

When the smartest kid in the class gets befuddled, it is fun.

soxhop411 · Oct 24, 2015

IU has such a good offense. Big their defense is beyond shitty

dcmissle · Oct 24, 2015

IU has played good teams tough.

Senator Donut · Oct 24, 2015

I've been beating this drum for a while now, but I get the feeling Michigan State is a very good, but not quite elite team. They went down to the wire against Purdue and Rutgers, and now they're in a battle with Indiana. Now that we understand Oregon is a bottom half Pac-12 team, their performance in that game doesn't look impressive either.

Kremlin Watcher · Oct 24, 2015

Bammer needs some late life or Satan's going to kill someone.

Ale Xander · Oct 24, 2015

Rooting for tenn but still love the Manning face!

Win win in this game

Senator Donut · Oct 24, 2015

Tennessee has 2:24 to score a touchdown and eliminate Alabama. They moved the ball impressively on their last drive.

jsinger121 · Oct 24, 2015

Manning face

johnmd20 · Oct 24, 2015

Lousy Tenn.

soxhop411 · Oct 24, 2015

If only IU HAD an average defense....

johnmd20 · Oct 24, 2015

Indiana couldn't stop a high school team.
