Today's College Football Thread

Three games today between ranked teams:

Auburn (20) at LSU (1)
Wisconsin (6) at Michigan State (16)
Washington (25) at Stanford (8)

My Sooners host Texas Tech tonight. Illinois plays at Purdue.

So who does your team play? What games are you looking forward to?

[fishwax]

1. Ole Miss 17 -- Arkansas 0 in the second quarter

That's quite a surprise -- Ole Miss lost to Vanderbilt this year.

[fishwax]

2. and ten seconds later Arkansas scores on a 53-yard touchdown run

17-7 -- still surprising.

[fishwax]

9. Arkansas wins 29-24

[taterguy]

3. As usual, looking forward to Wisconsin kicking ass

Just to rub salt in the wounds of NC State.

[fishwax]

5. would you rather see Wisconsin win or NC State lose?

:)

[taterguy]

10. NC State lose

Unless Wisconsin is playing Ohio State.

4. Arizona State

I'm pretty sure they have a bye. I wish it was like last year where I made time to watch college football and pro football games except for the Cardinals, I only watched 1 Sun Devils game because they're all on cable. :hi:

[fishwax]

6. Hey Jon

It's been a good year for Arizona State. Sorry you haven't been able to see many of the games, though. Hopefully some of the upcoming games will be over the air. :hi:

[petronius]

7. I've said it before but I'll say it again: Geaux Tigers!

A bit nervous with the suspensions, but the offense looked solid on the first drive - lets see how the defense holds up...

[fishwax]

11. pretty good first quarter

:kick:

[petronius]

12. 14-3! Looking good so far!

Auburn really had to be near-perfect, and they haven't quite been so far...

[petronius]

14. 35-3!! Suspensions? What suspensions?

:applause: :applause: :headbang: :fistbump: :applause:

[trof]

16. 45-3 and almost a whole quarter left to play.

And 3 LSU starters flunked their drug tests.
whew

Alabama plays LSU in 2 weeks.
I'm nervous.

[petronius]

17. That's going to be a truly epic game; I'm glad they both have a week off to get ready

Just wish it was in Baton Rouge this year...

[rurallib]

8. Thank goodness the Hawkeyes knocked off Indiana

It was looking a bit shaky at the start.
But I gotta laugh at Illinois - off to their usual great Big 10 start! 0-2

[fishwax]

13. lol -- yeah, Illinois is back to normal

time to look forward to basketball season :)

[Brickbat]

15. My team had a televised scrimmage today: Nebraska-Minnesota.

Go Big Red.

[fishwax]

20. that's okay -- things get a little tougher soon

Minnesota is really bad this year, though. Michigan State next week--that should be a fun game :)

[grasswire]

18. Ducks romped over Buffalos

No contest.

Quack!

[fishwax]

21. I wonder when CU will get their first Pac 12 win

Neither Utah or Colorado has won a game in the new conference. They play each other the last week of the season--I guess one of the them will have to win :)

Congrats to the Ducks :toast:

[fishwax]

19. Alabama and Tennessee tied at 6 at halftime

Alas, the Oklahoma game is in a weather delay :bounce:

[fishwax]

22. Alabama rolling in the second half -- 37-6 now

:kick:

[gratuitous]

23. WOW!!

Michigan St. 37 Wisconsin 31 on a last-play hail Mary doink pass.

[fishwax]

25. That was wild

Definitely the right call on the replay. Can't remember seeing a final play like that since Kordell Stewart beat Michigan in '94.

[fishwax]

24. Anyone see the end of the Michigan State - Wisconsin game?

Looked like it was headed into overtime, but Michigan State wins on a last-play Hail Mary. It was deflected by a Wisconsin defender in the end zone and caught by MSU's Keith Nichol just outside the goal line. Officials ruled that he was down, but they reviewed it and the replay booth called it (correctly) a touchdown.

[rurallib]

33. saw the catch but fell asleep before the replay was decided

so I had to wait til this morning to find out what happened. :P

[fishwax]

26. Texas Tech 31 -- Oklahoma 17 at the end of the fourth quarter

Dreadful game so far ;)

But Oklahoma looks like they're about to score :bounce:

[JCMach1]

27. Poor Sooners! Go Pokes!!! Still undefeated and should be up to 2 or 3 in the next poll

[fishwax]

29. It'll still be a great game in Stillwater come December

Good chance that the Big 12 title will go to the winner and a possible NCG berth for OSU on the line. It'll be one of the bigger bedlam games in a while :)

[JCMach1]

32. Exactly, most likely for a National Championship game slot...

[guitar man]

28. Oklahoma St. 45, Missouri 24

Oh my, looks like the Sooners are having a bit of trouble with Texas Tech :evilgrin:

[fishwax]

30. Trouble indeed

Worst defensive performance at home since '96.

Congrats to the Pokes--it's been a great season so far. Bedlam will still probably be (unless OU lays another egg) for the conference title. (And, of course, a shot at the MNC for OSU most likely.)

[guitar man]

31. We finally have a football program at OSU

That can produce a team thats a contender for the national title, took em long enough. The only problem we have is Mike Gundy will start playing way too conservative when he should be taking the big risks and pulling out all the stops. I hope he pays close attention to the way Texas Tech beat OU tonight. They played like they had nothing to lode and it paid off.
