It’s back. Fucking finally. And this keeps the recruiting threads from getting jammed up. Also, OU sucks.

West Virginia (-6) at home vs James Madison.

Madison must be a bad ass FCS team even though I've never heard of them. Really tempting to put a dollar on WV...I think I will

[Vito Corleone]

I don't bet, but if I did, I wouldn't do it on a team with a brand new staff at a brand new school. Way too many unknowns.

I'm sure that's why the line is so low. Meanwhile, JM might win the FCS title.

Neal Brown did really good things at Troy. Comes from an offshoot of the Leach tree like Holgorson.

They should have more talent. I think they'll be prepared.

The SEC East is pretty bad as usual which is why Georgia hasn’t lost a game in three years against those teams. But even the West isn’t that great either outside of Bama and LSU. This is basically a three team conference when it comes to being elite.

Well, I wouldn't answer hyperbole with more hyperbole. The SEC is certainly not dominant but they're certainly not the worst. The East is pretty awful though.

i would have taken the ags at 19.5 when the line first opened but not sure on this one. i'm not saying that the aggies are bad this year but they are not on clemson's level and not sure there are too many teams that are. at 17.5, i could see a final of 35-17 which makes this so hard to decide on. the one thing i think, in regards to a&m, is that they won't quit so maybe they can cover. clemens is just so good though...

[rjv]

another tough one: lsu at -6.5. will the tigers cover?

[spankadelphia]

We are playing on the road against a team with a great QB. Not touching that.

I think lsu could flat out win but I don't like touching blue blood games across conferences. Too much unpredictably

I'm gonna put a half dollar on Tech -34.5 at home vs utep.

Taking WV +14 at Missouri is tempting..

LSU has major issues on defense. Better get it cleaned up by November or Bama might hang 60 on us.

[Vito Corleone]

Texas easily could have won this game. They were a dropped TD in the first and a bone headed end of the first half away from being up at the end of the 1st 14-13. But that is how the ball bounces. I'm looking forward to meeting you in BR for the re-match.

I feel confident the shoe will be on the other foot.

That’s not a bad prediction. Texas is young and LSU loses a lot next year, including Burrow.

[Darth_Pelican]

I went to the game. It was certainly entertaining, but it was Aranda's worst defensive coaching job since he's been at LSU. Anways, the Texas fans were cool. The stadium atmosphere was good, but not as loud as many of the other ones that I've been to, especially for such a high profile game. The construction in the endzone made me feel like I wasn't getting the full experience since it was basically like an old horseshoe stadium. One of the Texas fans told me that it will all be done in 2 years.

UT and Austin is one of the most laid back in all of college football imo. Austin has grown so much and there are so many young people who stay and work in Tech etc... There is just too much else to do. When you go to Ann Arbor, Columbus, South Bend, what else do you do on Saturday? It’s almost like a Southern California crowd in LA, San Diego, etc...

Also the bigger diversity (7-8% rule top of HS class) on campus has lead to a large % of students not carrying about football. ATM is said to have the 2% ers. UT has 50% ers. They new AD has done a very good job of trying to get more kids into it. The Alumni sit on their hands except for the ones that travel. The traveling UT fans will be the more swarthy characters with money. They will get into it. Especially if they bring their kids.

Welcome to the big 12 btw. No way you will see that many offensive looks from Alabama. They will basically dare you to stop them. It’s completely different game planning. SEC can make fun of the Big 12 all they want, but I guarantee the D coordinators would rather game plan against the old LSU offense. The spread RPO is designed to get athletes in space and force the other teams to deal with that. And with the different looks week to week, it’s very difficult. Mike Leech was a master at making simple but stupefying offenses for the defense. Your defense must game plan extensively, so kids that can’t catch on.... good luck, scoring will take place. Don’t miss one on one tackles in space. Don’t be out of position. They will find you. UT also had only one scholarship running back before they converted a true freshman to RB. The most explosive RB has some detached muscle in the groin, you never saw him. That definitely denied UT the entire playbook in a young season.

And then with the hurry up this time of year in the heat? You saw what happened, LSU had kids clutching muscles spread all over the field. Those uniforms just don’t help with the cooling and then running about on and off the field? Merely Wearing a Frkn helmet... that’s so hot.

All that being said, LSU had the better athletes, especially in the 2ndary, Stingley is gonna be really, really good. Next year in Baton Rouge, You will see a team from Austin with very close to equal talent. Yes it is occurring. We are getting players.

[pgardn]

[rjv]

not sure what kind of depth that LSU has defensively but they sure were gassed in the 2nd half and that was noticeable from the beginning of the 3rd quarter. it reminded me of how porous they looked against a&m last year but that, at least, was an overtime marathon. but, using that game film and the one from the texas game, especially the 2nd half, i think that teams will forming a blueprint on how to move the ball against the tigers. this may be a weird season for LSU, in that they may be winning games because of their offense instead of their defense.

UT's offense is in mid-season form and looked pretty solid considering their injury woes at the skill positions. i was pretty shocked by how their secondary was shredded though. i didn't see that coming. it will be interesting to see how that bodes in a pass prolific conference.

[rjv]

ags covered, which is more than what i thought they would do. i actually thought it would be their offense that kept the score somewhat respectable but it was the defense, although they did not look all that great. granted, they were missing two starters in the secondary, but they made a lot of bonehead plays. the team did not look sharp and that is on the coaches. clemson looked crisp and the ags looked like they were in mid August. from what i saw, i still expect a&m to be an 8-4 or 7-5 team and i still expect clemson to repeat as national champions this year.

[Kermit]

Uh, y’all can call it gassed. The only thing missing from a lot of LSU’s players falling down with cramps was the magic spray soccer uses to make “injures” go away.

Edit: Just to be clear, LSU faking cramps was not the reason Texas lost the game, before someone chimes in.

i wasn't referring to the cramping (which was suspicious, of course). i was referring to their body language on the field-bending over, hands on their knees. as the game wore on, which goes back to the question of depth on that defense. perhaps some of it was the result of the switch to a 3-4, despite the fact that the thinnest part of their defense is at the LB spot. regardless, this defense doesn't look to be one that will improve upon its SEC ranking of 5th in the SEC in 2018.

i'm curious, btw, as to where LSU will have the UT band sit for next year's game. in the parking lot?

This is what happens when you have so many plays in one game. When guys get gassed you have to run them off the field. The defense is always chasing and there are no plays off against a spread RPO. This is exactly why Saban did complained about injuries from the hurry up. He did not want to see this type of game in the SEC. He wants a physical war, not a track meet. LSU is gonna bring the track meet now, especially in games where the other team has the capacity to score. Good luck to their D. They may have to drink fluids leading up to games and get the subbing worked out. Or fall down in apparent agony. This is also why Herman is so adamant about the pee testing before practice and thru the season.

It seemed a little dubious but i don't get too suspicious of cramping up this time of year with this heat.

I'm a little disappointed in him this year, you can't lose by 3 scores to SMU even on the road, and the Cal Bears road game was close but they had their chances

His freshman year, I used to think Fine was just a midget with a weak arm. IIRC you or some other UNT fan (mono?) thought the same thing.

SMU and Cal are legit bruh. $MU is undefeated and just won at TCU. They should be ranked after this week. Having the means to pay 17 new transfers to come in pays off. Cal is undefeated and ranked too. You guys will be fine (no pun intended) and should represent CUSA West in the chip again. That Bussey injury is rough though.

yeah, but winning those 2 (and going otherwise undefeated) would have got us a big time bowl game, and an outside shot at a NCAA playoff birth if a bunch of other top teams choked


I predicted for a long time that Fine would be underrated in the NFL. Round 4-7 pick for sure but could ultimately be a Russell Wilson type of underdog QB in time

[rjv]

i'm not saying that UTSA is uber talented, but they are definitely shouldn't be getting handled they way they are at this moment. wilson is in way over his head. that program needs to make a change soon or they will go disappear off the map. texas state would have beaten the runners this season.

Fisher has cleaned a lot of things up.
The aggies just dont need to fall behind early.
They need to get a tough game into the 4th qrt and win.
This will change things. Their offense could use some success early in games. They have got guys open, Mond just misses them.
This group cannot afford to fall 2-3 scores behind going into the 4th, Jimbos offense is not made for this type of game.

i'm not saying that UTSA is uber talented, but they are definitely shouldn't be getting handled they way they are at this moment. wilson is in way over his head. that program needs to make a change soon or they will go disappear off the map. texas state would have beaten the runners this season.

They are pretty talented for G5 standards. If Wilson's incompetent ass has done one thing right, it's recruiting.

Still, they've lost like 9 games in a row against FBS teams--the large majority of which haven't even been competitive. Their last FBS win was against bottom of the barrel UTEP, who's gone 0-12 and 1-11 the past two seasons, and whom we play this week and are 2 point underdogs against. Wilson needs to GTFO.

edit: last FBS win was actually against 2-11 Rice last season, but the overarching point remains

Turned to the Oklahoma-Kansas game and saw Oklahoma with a 3rd and goal from midfield and Oklahoma having to punt on 4th and goal. 3rd and goal from midfield and having to punt on 4th and goal. Two things you don't often.

As many expected, CFB regular season has plummeted in interest in exchange for the Playoff (3 games)

The one angle CFB had over every single other American sport was "every game matters". That is no longer the case. Absolutely no reason to watch games unless both teams are ranked and preferably in the Top 10

So instead of going for it on 4th and 3 to try to win the game, South Carolina decide to kick a 58 yard field goal with a kicker who's career long is 49 yards and overall isn't that great of a kicker. Stupid.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

South Carolina bailed out because Georgia's receiver can't catch a simple pass.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

And Georgia is bailed out because South Carolina's kicker chokes from 33 yards.

Why does the Big 12 have a title game? Seems like a waste of time when OU is clearly the best team under Riley.

[Pelicans78]

I don't see Bama losing until the playoffs unless it's at Auburn. LSU has to travel there and don't have the defense to keep with Tua and company.

[Pelicans78]

I'll be shocked if it's not Bama, Clemson, OU, and OSU in the playoffs.

[Pelicans78]

Also, Tulane should be ranked after this weekend.

[Pelicans78]

Yeah Kirby's a great recruiter, but a shitty in game coach. No excuse for a program like Georgia not have a title since Hershel Walker when they routinely have a top 5 recruiting class. Same issue they had with Mark Richt. Maybe it's a state thing where the pro teams choke as well.

Yep.

Its just hard to tell if either has actually played a decent team.

LSU, Alabama, and OU are clearly very solid teams. But OU loves to lose in the playoffs, which is always a blessing that keeps me happy. If Alabama has trouble with Mond, they are going to get ripped by the LSU kid. That Crimson D is a liability. They no longer face an inept LSU offense.

LSU’s D is much worse than Bama’s but I can still see the Tigers going up there and winning that game even though Bama controls that series.

Okay then, independents or a GO5 team.

1-5. P5 winners/champions
6-8) Two P5 wildcards and the best GO5 or independent team, ranked by overall record. So that way the GO5 or independent best team wouldn't necessarily be the 8th seed and always have to play the 1. Very often they'd be an undefeated 6th seed.

I watch Ohio St. against NW.

They lined up 3 DBs press man to man against 3 WR with one safety back.

Seven men in the box and they absolutely crushed the NW offense.
I seriously have no idea how good Ohio St. is. Their big out of conference win was against Cinn.

Mason Fine with the 2013 Nick Foles/Peyton Manning performance against UTEP. 7 TDs, 0 INTs. It's such a damn shame this defense is such putrid hot garbage this year, if we had the 2013 UNT defense (and special teams) we'd be undefeated this year.

They're a Power 5 team so if they go undefeated they'll make the playoffs.

Not sure if Herbert isn't ahead of Tua in the NFL draft after this game.

:lol Jerry Jeudy with the Terrell Owens hands

[Millennial_Messiah]

especially since QB sneak is about an 81% conversion play.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I also don't get why LSU didn't go for two on one of those late half touchdowns.

[Millennial_Messiah]

That Najee Harris is a bone. Whatever NFL team that gets him in the 3rd round has a real weapon.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Terrace Marshall using the ref as a pick

[Millennial_Messiah]

Fuck... Stream is going in and out.

[Millennial_Messiah]

how do you NOT sell out for Najee Harris on 4th down? WTF

[Millennial_Messiah]

Najee Harris is basically Zeke without all the head scratching drama.

[Robz4000]

Spoke too soon. Bama gonna win.

[Millennial_Messiah]

That little scatback for LSU is pretty darn good... breakin big tackles for tough 1st down conversions.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Spoke too soon. Bama gonna win.

even if LSU gets a field goal here?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Love that call on a critical 3rd down. Wish you saw it more in the NFL.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Clutch TD drive, clutch response for LSU. Brilliant game by LSU on the road all the way.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Now you MUST go for two

[Millennial_Messiah]

being up 12 in the 4th quarter is still a big deal in football though.

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol Tua holds the ball for 8 seconds in the pocket

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Can't give up a 1st down on 3rd and 19.

[Blake]

If I was drafting QBs I'd have Burrow #1 on my board

[Millennial_Messiah]

that LSU CB #24 is absolutely terrible... I would never draft him

[Millennial_Messiah]

Can't give up a 1st down on 3rd and 19.

yeah. Gotta run that Philadelphia Eagles defense where you rush 4 and drop everyone else back to the sticks and come up to make a tackle.

[Millennial_Messiah]

If I was drafting QBs I'd have Burrow #1 on my board

Reminds me a lot of a young Nick Foles.

[Millennial_Messiah]

yeah Alabama ended up scoring, but why did they completely go away from Najee Harris the whole drive?

[Millennial_Messiah]

absolutely CANNOT take a sack there.

[Millennial_Messiah]

but now since the LSU went for two and missed last time, a field goal keeps Alabama alive.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Thats the dagger.

[Millennial_Messiah]

WOW!! What a masterpiece by LSU.

:lmao Fuck Saban

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol Saban
:lol Belicheat of the NCAA

[Millennial_Messiah]

WOW!

Now they can actually kick deep instead of the onside kick, since they scored the bomb it on the first play.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Would this be their first home loss since the Johnny Manziel game? :wow

They just mentioned that my Rebels 2015 were the last team to beat them at home. I forgot about that game until they mentioned it even though it was 4 years ago. I remember the Rebels had a 30-10 against them and ended up winning 43-37.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Saban should absolutely kick deep here to save field position.

[Millennial_Messiah]

why would you onside kick there? now it's going to be extremely hard because they have 2 and not 3 timeouts

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Now that run is officially the dagger.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Hopefully so. Hopefully. The undefeated teams need to stay undefeated (at least 4 of them or else a 1-loss LSU) because if there's not enough power 5 undefeateds left and they have to give a bid to a 1-loss wildcard, you just know damn well it's going to be Bama again.

[Millennial_Messiah]

How the fuck do you have Baylor over Minnesota? Seriously dude.

Texas state pride homer. Okay you can switch 4 and 5 if you want, but they're both undefeated (Baylor has some too-close wins, but undefeated is undefeated) and I'd take a perfect power 5 team all day over any team with something besides a goose egg in the "L" column.

[Millennial_Messiah]

What’s Baylor’s best win? K-State? They shouldn’t be a playoff team.

If Baylor runs the table and goes 13-0 and thus wins the Big 12 conference, there's no reason to not include them over a 1-loss team. In the playoff era there has never been an undefeated power 5 snubbed from the playoffs, and I hope it never happens. You can only play and win what's in front of you.

[Pelicans78]

Obviously an undefeated Baylor and Minnesota teams will get though I think Baylor is closer to the elite teams in the AAC then a top 4 team.

ACC hasn't been great, but it's still a power 5 by definition. Until the AAC is promoted to power 5 status, it isn't.

LSU beat Alabama but could still be the loser.

Alabama is ranked 4th and will not drop out the top four. Clemson and Ohio St. keep doing like they been doing then they are locks. That leave one slot open for the winner of the Georgia - LSU game, whereas had LSU lost they would be sitting at number 4 without having to play a do or die game.

Not all P5 conferences are the same. Not all P5 conferences are P5 when the AAC is better than the ACC and not far behind the PAC-12 which has two really good teams and 10 crap teams. Minnesota should be fourth still even though they’ve played a horrible schedule outside of Penn St. However they should be higher than Utah or Oregon and maybe over Bama who has no quality wins.

It is all a win-win for Bama as long as LSU doesn't lose in the SECCG in a nail biter

Watch LSU do all the heavy lifting and still forced to rematch Bama in Playoff semifinal on a neutral site. Which Bama will ofcourse win. This is bad for the sport. At this point make it a Top 8 playoff.
