College Football 2008 season

[jmh80]

yikes!

LMAO!

I wasn't mad. I just know PSU fans well enough that the minute the game ended - I knew what I'd read on the 'net and hear at work. (We've got a gaggle of PSU engineers at the plant. Or whatever a group of them is officially called.)

 

[jmh80]

i like us whooping your ass in the acc championship game:bruce3:

Hard to say. Depends which Jekyll and Hyde FSU offense shows.

They are better coached than y'all, plain and simple. We played you guys back to back and played both of y'all close.

Miami had a much better offensive game against FSU than UNC, for what it's worth. We jumped on them early, but they fought back and chipped away.
Smith is a better RB than UNC has. But if they have Brandon Tate - their WR's are better. And Cam Sexton has been playing well at QB for them. If they get Yates back, big bonus.
I like both team's LB's and DL's. On paper your secondary is better, but didn't play like that against Miami.

The UNC special teams was way better than the FSU special teams. But they don't have a dynamite return guy like we do. So dunno who has the edge in that regard.

I'll root for you guys over UNC, just because it's FSU. But I have a feeling I'd predict a UNC win solely based on Butch vs. Bobby.


I honestly have no idea whom will win the ACC though. Could be FSU or UNC - could be anyone of like 8 teams.
The conference is hilarious this year. I love it.

BCS Standings
1. Alabama 0.98
2. Texas Tech 0.97
3. Texas 0.88
4. Florida 0.86
5. Oklahoma 0.84
6. USC 0.79
7. Utah 0.77
8. Penn State 0.68
9. Boise State 0.68
10. Georgia 0.62

Bama and Tech are really close now. I pretty much agree with 1-5... although I could make a case to swap Texas and Florida. Normally, an over-ranked team like Utah would really bug me... but they, along with Boise State, are currently in position to keep Ohio State from embarrassing themselves as an at-large bid, so I find that pretty humorous!

I have a problem with Utah and Boise. I don't think they have the resume to be in the top 10. A team like Fresno has played a kick-azz schedule, but just hasn't won. Those 2 have a cup cake schedule and are only up there because they are undefeated (Hawaii in '07 ring a bell anyone??).


Rubber,
Texas has a better resume at this point. Their win over OU is better than UF over UGa.

But as pointed out on Game Day - depends how you value the rankings. UF is playing better. But Texas has a better resume. All subjective in nature.

 

[jmh80]

I'm sure I'll catch some heat for this, but I'm still not buying them. Yes, their offense is ridiculous... but they're allowing over 22 points a game on defense. I think a team like Florida would expose them. The Gators would be able to hang with them on offense... and there's no way Tech would be able to light up Florida's (or Alabama's) defense like they do their Big 12 competition.

That's exactly why I still believe the SEC is the slightly better conference again this year. No one in the Big 12 plays great defense. Even Oklahoma has given up 13 TDs in their last three games.

It always comes down to the same ol' cliche: Defense wins championships.

That's fair.
But they held a pretty damn potent Poke offense to 370 yds when they were averaging 500. OSU was averaging 265 on the ground but only got 180.

These aren't SEC offenses. These are better in the Big 12. 365 and 20 points is pretty damn good against that offense.


They won a game that really no one thought they'd win and they won handily.
I know it was at home and we'll see more in Norman in 2 weeks.

As far as UF and Bama go - to be fair there are NOT WR's in the SEC that go as deep as Texas Tech does.
I know there are some good ones - but no one like Micheal Crabtree.
The Raiders can trot out some dudes that can all catch and block. They aren't the fun and gun just run and catch they used to be. They rush for 115 a game. Used to they'd run for like 50 yds.

As far as exposing - it would only be due to speed.
Leach is a guy that will give any head coach fits. I think Meyer and Saban would have to be looking at the top 5 and not wanting to face him and his sticky note worth of plays.

He's a mastermind. I think UF/Bama would be well to face a Stoops or Brown before Leach.
I think ole Pirate would teach Meyer/Saban a thing or 2....

Go ahead and mark it down - there wouldn't be a repeat of the '06 Fiesta when Meyer coached circles around Tressell (and that was what decided the game more than anything, IMO) if it was UF and TxTech.

I'm not sure what I think the outcome would be if it was UF/Bama against TxTech. I'd have to think about it. But I, for sure, wouldn't write Guns Up out of it just because they play in the Big 12 and not the SEC.



As a side note - have been contemplating more and more Leach to UT. I know he really wanted the Miami job 2 years ago. Apparently dreamed of what he could do with south FLA speed. They don't quite have that in Knoxville, but they do have awesome facilities and a great tradition and NFL contingent.

I think he would like to move on to something more prestigious than TxTech. UT is definitely that.

I think that he'd be a helluva hire for UT in regard to game planning. I have no idea how much recruiting he does. But I know he can transform those 2 and 3 star kids he gets out there to BFE into pretty damn good CFB players.
Whereas the Vols haven't been developing anyone in the last few years that wasn't already NFL ready (see: Eric Berry).

Eh - Miami has "the call" against both y'all and Notre Lame in '88. But that means we don't complain about calls unless it directly costs us a national title.

We just complain about ESPN slandering us.

 

[Trauma1]

Go ahead and mark it down - there wouldn't be a repeat of the '06 Fiesta when Meyer coached circles around Tressell (and that was what decided the game more than anything, IMO) if it was UF and TxTech.

I respect your views j, but it was far more than being merely outcoached, imo. Meyer's spread offense kept them guessing all night long for sure, but that's only one factor that plays into winning any given game. A great coach is one thing (and a big factor indeed), but none-the-less your team still has to go out and perform at a higher level than the other team to get the job done. The athlete's themselves are as big a factor into winning the game. Otherwise, it's like Peanut butter, without the jelly....

Ohio state was outcoached, and clearly outplayed (by the athletes themselves) in every aspect of that game. Florida was vastly underestimated going into it.

I stand by my theory that whoever wins the SEC, wins the national championship this year. Texas Tech is good, but i don't think they have the balance overall in their team to pull it off. That's my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.

 

[Trauma1]

On a side note, florida's special teams have been very impressive. They blocked 2 more punts yesterday. I swear on every opportunity, they make it look like it's going to be blocked in those situations.

Brandon James is argueably the best return man in college football. He's an absolute joy to watch.

Florida has a very well rounded team. Great explosive offense, coupled with a very solid defense and special teams. This is why i give them the nod over texas tech if they meet. Balance is the key to success in the end.

 

[jmh80]

Curious to see the left side of the Bama OL, who seem all likely to play in the NFL, against the Gator D.

Could be some serious holes.


Yup - you guys are top notch on special teams.

And you were better in every phase than OSU. I just tended to view the carving of the soft zone as a big part to the game. But you also stunted and did some slants on the DL that they were not expecting. And you had better athletes than they did.

I'm just coming from the perspective of Miami the last few years - athletes (esp. looking at guys like Rocky McIntosh that did sh*t in school but is now starting for the Skins) but could not put it together until the coaches started to progress.

 

[rubberring]

As far as UF and Bama go - to be fair there are NOT WR's in the SEC that go as deep as Texas Tech does. I know there are some good ones - but no one like Micheal Crabtree.

I'd say Julio Jones is very Crabtree-esque. Did you see that grab in OT yesterday? But I get what you're saying. However, the tight ends and running backs in the SEC are punishing, so it balances out if you play ball control.

As far as exposing - it would only be due to speed. Leach is a guy that will give any head coach fits. I think Meyer and Saban would have to be looking at the top 5 and not wanting to face him and his sticky note worth of plays. He's a mastermind. I think UF/Bama would be well to face a Stoops or Brown before Leach.
I think ole Pirate would teach Meyer/Saban a thing or 2....

Yeah, I've heard all that Leach is a mastermind stuff before... right before the 2006 Cotton Bowl. Leach brought in a 9-2 Tech team that was scoring at will. What happened? They faced a brutal Bama defense... and were held to 10 points.

IMO... a Saban or Strong defense > Leach's offense

Oh, and Leach to Tennessee would be about as successful as Spurrier to South Carolina. No way that fan base is gonna be cool with abandoning a power running/ball control scheme. Leach would be constricted in the same way Spurrier is now. It would make headlines... but it would eventually be a bad marriage. Leach would be much better off in the Pac-10.

 

[Trauma1]

Agreed. Raw talent can be underdeveloped and truly wasted without good coaching, and the same can be said vice versa.

You can have some success in having one without the other, but will never achieve greatness, imo.

Yeah, he abused Patrick Johnson/Peterson/$$$son.
Crabtree just has a year experience on Jones and I can say I'm impressed with his blocking ability the bit I've watched him. I can't say I've watched the same of Julio.
But very similar body's and control in the air.

We'll see on Leach. I think he's a different coach this year.
Leach of year's past would have let the Pokes run for 300 yards on them.

Good point. Fresno State's motto is "anyone, anywhere," and they frequently come up short. I'd actually give some credit to Boise State... but Utah has no credibility as far as I'm concerned. Guess I'll have to pull for f#@king BYU to take them out!:lol:

It only takes some breaks in one game though to win.

Hell look at LSU last year. As lucky of a run since Notre Lame in '88.

I'm not saying the Raiders would win. I think they have a legit shot.

BTW - I think I was right in my pre-season statement on the SEC. This is a relative down year in the SEC. Not in the top 2 teams, but in everyone else.
We'll see come bowl season how much it's played out on the field.

Boise is living on the Hook and Lateral game. I'll have to go look at their schedule again this year - but last time I looked I was not impressed in the least.

Hell TCU got TRUCKED by OU.

 

[rubberring]

I'm freaking thrilled we're going to see an Bama/Florida SEC championship game! I will be pulling for both teams to blow out the competition up until that game.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited as well. To hear ESPN spin it, you'd think Bama has zero chance.

I'll tell you what though... if Bama has to lose a game, I'd rather them get blown out in Atlanta than lose their 7th in a row to f%#king Auburn. I'm still nervous about that game. The Iron Bowl just might be Auburn's only bowl this year.

Hell, Miss. State has won two in a row over Bama... so maybe I should just shut up altogether!:icon_lol:

 

[rubberring]

Boise is living on the Hook and Lateral game. I'll have to go look at their schedule again this year - but last time I looked I was not impressed in the least.

They impressed me a bit against Oregon. The rest of their schedule (minus Fresno St.) is a joke.

 

[rubberring]

Okay fellas, off to the gym now.

Man, I'm lovin' college football this season. So many teams I wouldn't mind seeing in the Big Game.

Roll Tide.

 

[jmh80]

Yeah, I'm pretty excited as well. To hear ESPN spin it, you'd think Bama has zero chance.

Better get used to it. TXT'ed my next door coworker to tell him to get ready for UF to be favored by 4 points or so and have EVERYONE pick them to win.
Save for Corso. He's picked Al the elephant every time they've been to a Tide game.

Herbstreit won't stray from his pre-season undefeated national champs pick of UF. Period.


I'm off of here also - bed though.

[Sir Savage]

I'll admit- Texas Tech looks good when they play other Big 12 teams, but how many times has a "high-powered" Big 12 offense gone on to a bowl game against another conference, only to be completely shut down?

Is it that they have super high-powered offenses, or just really lackluster defenses?

My opinion is the latter.

'Bama and UF FTW.

Exactly. Relative to my statement about balance equating to success in big games. The SEC's best just looks more sufficiently balanced overall, and they'll use it to their advantage to win the big game.

THE SEC BABY!!

 

[AFOX]

I think the Big 12 is the best conference this year because of all the great QB's. They are so good they make the defenses look sub par. I don't think you can stop any of the good offenses in the league, you can only hope to slow them down enough to pull out a win. Texas Tech is playing really good defense right now, and that is something they have always lacked. The Okalahoma/Texas Tech game will be crazy, because I think Oklahoma is even better on offense than Tech.

 

[Sir Savage]

The Big 12 does have some great QBs, but not any better than the SEC's (Tebow, Stafford, Parker-Wilson).

The difference is- defense. It's why there are so many close games in the SEC. It's why "bad" teams like Ole Miss and Kentucky can keep it competitive with the 'Bama, UF, and UGA. It's why the SEC has won every national championship that they've been a part of in the BCS era and wins the vast majority of their bowl games, whereas the Big 12 does not.

Not to say that there aren't some quality teams in the Big 12 because there clearly are. It's just that it's easier to look good when the defenses seem to run around bumping into each other.

The fact that UF is putting up so many points against teams in the SEC week after week after week is absolutely frightening. The rest of the country should be sh*tting their Depends right about now. This is an NFL team playing college ball.

Picking the better conference based on one skill position makes absolutely no sense.:think: Okay... I think the SEC is the best conference because they have much better defensive ends... and linebackers... and cornerbacks... and running backs... and punt returners... and...

Oh, and allowing over 22 points a game is not really good defense. Unless you benefit from playing against other teams with relatively weak defenses... such is the case with Texas Tech. The OU-Tech game will be a shootout... but it won't be an exhibition on stellar defensive play.:lol:

Read Savage's post on what happens to these high-powered offenses when they meet a real defense... or just Google 2006 Cotton Bowl.

ok..i just woke up. was it a nightmare i had about penn state losing to iowa and their nat'l championship dreams shattered? naah!!! they could have went undefeated and still been stuck at #3 anyway...#$$#'n bcs. do i "smell" a rose bowl with usc?

Rubber - come on with looking at prior bowl results. (Ex-OU, that is. You can bet they'll lose a bowl game they'll be favored in every year.)
Hell I'm the worst at that, since Miami hasn't been good since '03.

If I looked at past bowl results - UF wouldn't have a flippin' change this year having played like dog sh*t last year against Michigan, who looks like a AA high school team in New Mexico.
Might as well put USC in with looking at prior bowl results ahead of UF/Bama since they trounced the Illini last year.

You can talk D with the SEC, for sure. You can talk O with the Big 12 for sure.
I'll say the other sides of the ball are perhaps somewhat of an enigma. Yeah the Gates are hitting on all cylinders now on O. So they put up 50 something points on moribund Vandy - the first team to start 5-0 and miss a bowl game (if the Vols can conjure up the spirit of Robert Neyland, that is).
I mean, I don't know. I really like UF's special teams over Texas Tech, for instance.
But drawing on this conference vs. that is silly.

All this conference talk is retarded. The SEC is over-rated this year and living off it's past laurels.

Thus - one must go to the OOC results, IMO.
The out of conference results don't appear to have shown much with the top of the Big 12 and SEC. Gators only played us. Bama only played Clemson. Miami says a bit, Clemson says nothing.
Texas Tech didn't play anyone. Texas beat the hell out of Arkansas - about as telling as UF-Miami.
OU beat a nice Cincy team 52-26 and trounced TCU (probably comparable to Clemson-Bama).

Anyway - I'm saying I wouldn't put one conference ahead of another at this stage.
I'm not declaring SEC king this year. I've watched a helluva lot of SEC football, BTW.

Or it's mediocrity in the SEC. (Ala the ACC - just not nearly to the degree.)

Yeah - Big 12 looks bad in bowl games ex-'05 Rose. But they are mainly hampered by OU losing every single time, I think. Will have to check the results though.

All I'm saying is... a top SEC team will not let a Big 12 offense perform like they do against the competition in their own conference. I'm not saying the SEC is king (yet), although I'd certainly take Florida or Bama over Texas, T. Tech, or Oklahoma in a BCS game. I only cited the '06 Cotton Bowl as an example of how Leach's offensive genius status may be overrated in the bigger scheme of things. (The reason I didn't include the Michigan-UF game from last year is because of the intangibles: it was Carr's last game, and the Gators weren't exactly motivated after their letdown of a season.) In my lifetime, every time a big deal is made about a fast-strike offense going up against a rock-solid defense... the defensive team usually comes through. (Kinda like the '93 Sugar Bowl.:lol

Yes, everyone knows the SEC is having a 'down' year. Teams like Tennessee and Auburn have really hit the skids. However, IMO, two of the three best teams in the country are from the SEC. So, if that's being 'down,' the SEC's in good shape.

But you're right... we shall see. I still think defense is the key.

 

[Sir Savage]

All this conference talk is retarded. The SEC is over-rated this year and living off it's past laurels.

That's what people say and imply every year, and they continue to win the vast majority of bowl games and every BCS national championship they've been a part of. It's not living off of past laurels- it's a statistical trendline at this point.

For the past two years, we've had to hear how great OSU is and how Florida/LSU were really going to have to step up, blah blah blah. And what was the result? Pwnage.

I remember someone from Florida a couple of years ago saying that yeah, OSU was a good team, but they played better teams all year long.

Until some other conference proves otherwise, the SEC is still the top dawg. It'll happen at some point, but I personally am not willing to say another conference is better until they prove it.

Anyway - I'm saying I wouldn't put one conference ahead of another at this stage.
I'm not declaring SEC king this year. I've watched a helluva lot of SEC football, BTW.

It'll definitely be settled come bowl time. That's what really matters.

Indeed the SEC is having a down year with some teams, but the best of the SEC is imo the best in the country as well.

True. One of the reasons i went into medicine (nursing) was the shear fact of job security, and a decent wage. For that, i'm definitely thankful, however dealing with some of the scum of society at times makes me questions why the hell i do it.

How 'bout that '89 Sugar?

You mean the one where the score was close, Miami actually scored on offense, and it wasn't for the national championship? Yeah... I vaguely remember it.

Actually, that game fueled Bama for their '93 meeting. F#@kin' Canes walked onto the field in protest of having to play 'lowly' Alabama. I remember being pissed about that... and also pissed 'cause I knew the Tide was outmatched!

 

[rubberring]

Tight game between Miami and V. Tech. Thursday night football has been entertaining this season. Marve's gonna be a good QB next year.

 

[jmh80]

It's a Canes thing, brah.

Bye Hokies! 5 wins in a row for the young Canes. Kid making the game clinching sack is a sophomore.

We squandered way too many redzone opportunities tonight but I was impressed with the defense. They ran for over 300 yds last week against the Terps but did nothing with their RB's. It was only Tyrod Taylor that could do anything.

Just incredible to watch these kids mature in front of your eyes as the season goes on. And we haven't even played a complete game.


Should get us now, ACC, cuz the next few years ain't gonna be fun for y'all.

My thoughts so far today:

1. First, Cal desperately needs a QB. It's just sad to watch. :sad:

2. Also, it's now official... Auburn is going to pull out all the stops against Alabama in two weeks, or they're not going to a bowl game. Hard to believe.

3. Finally... could Florida suck any worse??? Jeez, they should've beaten the Cocks by at least 51 today. Weak sauce. :lol:

Yeah - terrible throw by that Cal guy. And not once, but twice!!!

Riley is the worst I've ever seen when he's under pressure. Unfortunately, their other QB (Longshore) isn't much better. I don't get it either. You'd think Tedford could recruit quarterbacks. Instead, they always have stud running backs who are underutilized.

Troy 24 - LSU 3 at the half.
