[Tournament] 2008 College Football

Good lord...East Carolina is a team to be feared. Knocking out two top 25 teams is not an easy feat.

WVU, what the hell? Their offense couldn't get anything going, but their defense was just absolute shit. East Carolina had them beat in everything. Maybe if they had thrown a really long pass the score might have been closer, because it worked before and it allowed them to put that field goal up.

I think everyone was pissed about how the Brigham Young and Washington game turned out. I mean sure, that guy should've made the PAT no matter what the yardage but everyone was pissed about the celebration penalty, even the guys at the ESPN news desk. I agree that it needs to go as bad as the BCS needs to go.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Any shred of hope that WVU had of getting back into the top 10 just went to hell. The game against non ranked Colorado went into OT and McAfee kicked the ball into the left post on the field goal attempt causing Colorado to take possession and make their field goal.

Colorado is now 3-0 while WVU is now 1-2.

I'll be looking forward to the LSU/Auburn game on Saturday.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Texas Tech managed to get lucky in the end. They score the first touchdown in OT and have their extra point blocked. Nebraska's QB tried to make a play but ended up throwing an interception and ending the ball game.

I'm pissed that I didn't get to see the Texas vs. Oklahoma game. ESPN kept scrolling down at the bottom: If you live here, here, or here...you can get the game on ESPN360.com. Three places in the world where ABC wasn't broadcasting the game, and I had to be living in one of them. What did they show instead? Rutgers vs. Cincinnati from the Big East Network.

LSU shouldn't even be in the top 10 after this game. If they don't go down to at least 13 or 14 after this game, then something is very wrong with the polls.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm actually surprised because I've always seen Auburn as a tough team to beat. However, the last three games ended really close for them.

Oh, and AP Top 25 poll looks good:

Rich Rod didn't make adjustments for the 2nd half, but Paterno did. Did anyone see that injury that happened to the Oklahoma player today? The way his arm bent and twisted was just sick!

I would hope Penn State would hop over Alabama in the polls tomorrow. What I'm really looking forward to is Texas Tech's schedule. Their next 4 games are all against ranked teams, including current #1 ranked Texas. If they can pull that off, I don't think anyone could stop them.

Edit 10/19/08: First BCS Standings will be revealed on Fox NFL Post Game Show.

Top Twenty BCS ranked teams:

#1 Texas
#2 Alabama
#3 Penn State
#4 Oklahoma
#5 USC
#6 Oklahoma State
#7 Georgia
#8 Texas Tech
#9 Ohio State
#10 Florida
#11 Utah
#12 Boise State
#13 LSU
#14 TCU
#15 Missouri
#16 South Florida
#17 Pitt
#18 Georgia Tech
#19 Tulsa
#20 Ball State

I was speaking idiomatically.

Good lord, I can't believe Texas Tech almost blew that game. Also, first time I've seen two unsportsmanlike penalties resulting in Texas Tech kicking off from the 7 and a half yard line.

Congrats to Texas Tech though. Way to pull it out in the end.

Also, anyone happen to see the game winning play for Purdue against Michigan? Freaking beautiful hook and lateral for the TD.

To quote Bobby Knight's prediction: "Michigan needs to win this game, or else their stadium is going to explode."

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I could be asking the same question to a lot of other teams, Texas Tech in particular. I honestly thought they'd go all the way after defeating Texas (and I still consider that to be the best game I've seen this year), and then they go and get raped by Oklahoma.

As far as LSU goes, I'll give them this: their first three losses were all to ranked teams. They managed to give the #1 team in the nation some trouble and managed to send it into overtime so I applaud them for their efforts there. However, after last year it's no surprise that I view LSU as overrated and maybe that was finally realized by the rest of the country this year. Who am I kidding, the only reason I considered LSU overrated is because of the BCS rankings.

Another team I'd have to ask "What in the hell happened?" would have to be Michigan. We all know the answer to that: Rich Rodriguez. I feel sorry for the Wolverine fans because of what happened to them this year. I'll be surprised if he keeps his job up there. The commentators say things like "Give him time to recruit" and "Michigan has no talent for Rich to work with", however the fact is that Michigan isn't even going to a bowl this year and the Wolverine fans are pissed.
