November 1st, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
Is this the year Oregon finally beats Stanford? Gotta root for Oregon here in order to make sure two SEC teams don't get into the playoff discussion.
Ole Miss and Auburn is straight toss up status.
Zona UCLA is a tough one too...
Good games tonight.
November 1st, 2014 at 7:42 PM ^
November 2nd, 2014 at 12:04 AM ^
rooting for teams I hate because the most important thing left ot root for is to keep Sparty out of the playoffs.
November 2nd, 2014 at 9:22 PM ^
Oregon isnt the same team as last year. They arent as fast, been missing that fifth gear ever since Kelly left.
November 1st, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
Quick TD for Oregon
November 1st, 2014 at 7:44 PM ^
ASU is gonna roll over Utah

I have to say that kicking back and watching other folks' games after your own team wins is perhaps one of the better feelings that one can potentially have throughout the week. The rest of the evening goes stress-free and as a bonus tonight, I probably won't obsessively check the blog for flameouts and meltdowns which might require "resolution". Just myself, football and a wife that is rewatching "Arrow" from the beginning on the Kindle.
November 2nd, 2014 at 9:21 PM ^
Good to watch other games and you can see where your team and or confrence stacks up against other teams or confrences. B1G looks good this year, 2nd best.
November 1st, 2014 at 7:56 PM ^
As things stand now the top 4 in some order would be SEC champ, FSU, Oregon, and TCU if those teams win out. TCU's qualify wins are so much better than anything MSU/OSU can do and are good enough to trump a 2 loss SEC West runner up.
That Indiana win over Missouri is looming large. With Missouri likely heading to the SEC title game that result is going to get a lot of play in the media.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
They may stay ahead of TCU in that case. The committee was quick to put 3/4 and 4/6 SEC teams. They had to know that would set up a two SEC team playoff.
November 1st, 2014 at 7:56 PM ^
What a throw by Mariotta on the run.
November 1st, 2014 at 7:59 PM ^
I wonder if the wheels are starting to fall off of the Stanford David Shaw wagon now that Harbaugh's recruits and coaching style are phasing out in year 3.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:03 PM ^
Maybe somewhat, but I think a lot of it is inconsistent QB play.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:11 PM ^
The contrast between the Oregon and Stanford offenses ... Jesus ... hopefully our next coach can have a nice blend between the two...
November 1st, 2014 at 8:06 PM ^
November 1st, 2014 at 8:14 PM ^
OSU game just started? Brutal. I couldn't feel my feet or hands by the end of the game today and it wasn't even dark yet when the game was over.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
Is there a better statement about the state of our conference when you see all these qualtity games and the best we can offer is OSU v Illinois.
Other than Wisconsin v Nebraska and OSU v MSU there is not a viable game that matters for the last month of the year. High quality stuff.
November 1st, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
But Iowa will figure in the West as well with Iowa hosting both of those teams in the last two weeks.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
Successful Quon is one mean receiver.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
I'm hoping somehow Auburn and Ole Miss both lose
I'd love to see Miss St lose and try to have ESPN try to rationalize how they should still be in the playoff right now

I think the "algorithm" of Delaney's really screwed the Big 10 this year.
MSU and Nebraska was the only quality crossover of the top 4 teams. Wisconsin avoided MSU and OSU. OSU avoided Nebraska and Wisconsin. Those are only 4 teams that move the needle at all in SOS and the Big 10 was busy "randomly" having them all avoid playing each other for the most part.
OSU will play ONE top 25 opponent all year in regular season since PSU and UM suck. Wisconsin 2 (the 2nd being LSU) since anyone not named Nebraska sucks in the West. Nebraska currently has 1 unless Wisconsin gets back into the top 25.
Meanwhile TCU has Oklahoma, Baylor, West Virginia, Kansas State and Oklahome State. That is 5 quality games. Same for each of those other names - they all have 5 quality games in a 10 team conference.
If you are in the Pac 12 south you have Utah, Arizona, Arizona State (all 1 loss teams), and then you drop to UCLA and USC....
Only Oregon lucked out in that the north sucks this year. But they got a real crossover opponent too.
Even Florida State got Louisville, Clemson, Notre Dame.
Big TEEEEEENNNNNN (aka Big east circa 2006)
November 1st, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
If Oregon goes on to blow out Stanford that great Notre Dame scheduled will produce at most 1 quality win (ASU). This is the risk you take by not being in a conference.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:48 PM ^
Damnit dont make me defend Fig Things but on paper that schedule looked brutal. It is not their fault North Carolina and UM were horrid. And Stanford is down.
Louisville is still a quality game as is USC. ASU is very tough as is FSU. That is 4 above average games - more than any Big 10 team will face in terms of toughness. (OSU has MSU and NO ONE. Nebraska has MSU and Wisconsin and then NO ONE)
Then in a normal year you'd throw out UM and MSU - they skipped MSU this year - and they skip UM go forward ....and NC is generally a solid team. Stanford has been one of the best the past 5 years.
So they played 2 of the top 4 in the ACC, 2 of the top 5ish in the Pac 12 and in theory what was supposed to be a good UM team, a good Stanford team and then North Carolina is usually top 6 in the ACC. It's a pretty darn good schedule and better than any Big 10 or ACC team has outside of maybe FSU (since FSU played OK State who is an ok Big 12 team).
November 1st, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
Notre Dame schedules a tough slate. However, it's not always guaranteed that this is how it plays out. This year is an example. So, while you can't call them chickens (though you can for obvous reasons), their schedule this year shouldn't buy them a pass. The fact is that ex post it isn't that great. And in the future, it's going to be a challenge for them if they're playing 5 ACC games.
November 1st, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
It doesn't matter what those teams were suppose to be. It matters what they are. The fact remains that if Stanford goes down tonight there only remotely impressive win will be ASU unless USC beats UCLA.
November 1st, 2014 at 10:04 PM ^
No, you said its the risk of not being in a conference. To which I retorted their schedule is better anyone in the Big 10 has and almost anyone in the ACC. OSU and Nebraska cant match ND's even in its weakened state. So being out of conference has nothing to do with it. In a normal year Stanford, Michigan, USC, Flordia State alone is better than any team not in the SEC West.
November 2nd, 2014 at 1:23 AM ^
Could end up playing Oregon, a 2 loss OSU team and they've already played Nebraska. Now, Nebraska still has their tough division games but if Nebraska goes into the Championship game 11-1, that will look pretty good.
November 2nd, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
Nd looks scary this year, Golson is catching fire and they are all flowing as teamates. They are playoff contenders as well
November 1st, 2014 at 8:27 PM ^
Miss State scores to narrow it down to 10-7 vs the Flying Bielema's
November 1st, 2014 at 8:27 PM ^
Arkansas up 10-7 on Ole Miss, but I imagine they will find a way to blow it again.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:31 PM ^
Miss State?
November 1st, 2014 at 8:29 PM ^
Oh and did the loss by Georiga end the hopes for anyone wanting Mark Richt to coach here? Good god. Do not want. Ever.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:29 PM ^
Berts got his team playing MSU well

Hugh Freeze sounds like a jiggle billy
November 1st, 2014 at 8:43 PM ^
get really interesting here in a few weeks. I love the what ifs...
Say Georgia loses again, most likely to Auburn, giving them 3 SEC losses
Mizzou loses once more, to either A&M or Tennessee on the road, so they win the SEC East with 3 total losses
Bama wins out
Missippi State suffers its only loss to Bama
Mizzou somehow wins the SEC title game over Bama
Paul Finebaum (and his ears) would be all over the place trying to get an SEC team in.

He was supposed to be a Defensive specialist.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:47 PM ^
GO GO GO FLYING RICHRODS!!!!!
I'm tired of hearing about Oregon being in the chase. That FG against USC was a heart-breaker...
I want to see Arizona ranked above Oregon.
November 1st, 2014 at 8:47 PM ^
November 1st, 2014 at 8:48 PM ^
Can we root against both?
November 1st, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^

It wouldn't make sense for a coach winning a national title to leave the program he won the national title at immediately anyway. Also Mississippi State winning a national title would be almost a miracle.
