^ Yep. This is probably some of the most blatantly biased officiating I have ever seen. He was a yard away from the first down and they gave it to him. Also, the officials should never stop the clock when the team is in hurry up. It's actually quite sickening to watch.

Anyways, I'm watching the Alabama game, I know South Carolina defense is pretty good, but McElroy doesn't seem to be so great? I think we can keep their passing game in check. Ingram is a stud though, he scares me

USC wins!! 
I was on an emotional rollercoaster at the end of that game, between the Notre Dame comeback, us thinking we won at the end, then there being one second left to do one last Irish play, and then finally getting the victory due to the incomplete pass...whew..my heart hurts after that kind of ending.

That was a frustrating loss for us. We were down 24-3 and came back, only to lose 30-34. We finished with -14 yards rushing. Inexcusable as a supposedly balanced offensive team. My hat's off to the CU team and their defense in the first half, made all the difference. Hopefully we can get a win against one of the three Big 12 South division powers we play this year.

Honestly, he is really not coming along as expected. He's lacking in leadership and seems to get rattled easily now. Many are calling for him to be ostracized here in Columbus; but, what many of them fail to remember is that Troy Smith as a sophomore was only 8-4--two years later, he won the Heisman, and led what many believed to be the one of the most prolific offenses in NCAA history to the National Title game.
Honestly, I think at this point, it really comes down to coaching. He's not being coached to lead. Being down in the 4th quarter, he had a 3 and out and after he was not talked to by coaches, and he just sat on the sidelines not giving any motivation to the D or O.
Ohio State is in serious lack of offensive leadership. People forget (especially in Columbus) how young our offense (and defense) is. We lost a lot last year, especially on the offensive line. We have 1 senior, 1 junior and 2 sophomores. Lining Pryor up in the shotgun for delayed hand-offs, zone passes, etc. is setting them all up for failure. At least put him in the pistol (since they obviously don't trust him under center) so that he and the line have a quicker sense of time for the play to develop.
Turnovers (Pryor was responsible for 4 out of 5), and a complete breakdown on defense (the worst I've seen since the National Title game against Florida) was the demise of the Buckeyes today.
If they don't get the ship righted this week, I foresee a bleak future for this young Buckeye team.

And the annual SC collapse begins.
If your defense can hold the number #2 team to 20 points (7 coming from an interception), your offense has to do it's part.
At this point in the season, I think the NC will be the SEC championship between Bama and Florida.
I also think that we'll have a scenario that cries for a playoff system this year moreso than ever.

You stop the run against Bama and you will beat them..
IMO there is not 1 team this year that separates itself from the rest.. I want Boise State in the MNC so there will be cries of a playoff more so than ever.

Agreed no team looks dominant, for the most part though UF's secondary and linebackers=domination. Alabama will not be able to throw on us, its now just whether we can stop Ingram

Bama should be #1. Texas is overrated and in a weak conference, we'll see how the Horns stack up against Mizzou and Oklahoma State. Florida looked anemic on offense and the Trojans should send a thank you note to Clausen for not executing on the Irish's last possession. I'd love to see TCU, Boise St. or Cincinnati run the tables and get into the NC game but hell will prolly freeze over first.

he is pretty good, if the rest of the team starts playing like they were in the second half then they may win almost the rest of their season :wink:

you do away with the sec title game and 2 SEC teams playing for titles every couple years would not be out of the question.
im an LSU fan. and out of both championships in the last 6 years... i would have rathered our games against Bama, Florida, Auburn be considered the national championship... we had TWO triple overtime games in the SEC in 07! and still won the title..
not to take away from OU or OSU... but the powers in the SEC playing each other are much more exciting then our previous matchups for the title....

Just curious, why do you fault Texas for playing in a "weak" conference, but root for TCU, Boise and Cinci, who definitely play in weak conferences?

I like Texas and would have preferred to see them in the NC last season instead of Oklahoma. I watched the Tech game live and if it weren't for that Crabtree TD the Horns might have been national champions.
I thought they played anemic against the Sooners, especially after Bradford was knocked out in the 1st Qtr. Then again, Florida looked anemic last weekend, ergo my choice for the Tide as the best team right now.
I guess I just like pulling for the underdog and am bitter and irate in general that college FB doesn't have a playoff system. Boise St., Cincinnati and Utah have all shown that non-BCS conference teams can do well in BCS games but it's somewhat sad that they have to run the table and then hope no other non-BCS conference team has a perfect record.

^My bad I was typing that up between patients, I know Cinci is Big East although when I think of that conference for some reason West Virginia always comes to mind.

LSU is no where near winning the SEC this year. Les Miles is not a great coach and while Jordan Jefferson is a good QB he is at least 1 year away from being a quality SEC QB.
