I'm not sure which of the three I'm more baffled by. He thinks USC is not good, which I suppose is reasonable. OU has a new system with a new QB and lot of youngins. LSU, I'm not even sure why, do they have a favorable schedule? Wait till Zhukov sees this list.

Nice, I think. A long time ago when they were looking at building Traditions, my boss asked me why I didn't apply for the superintendent job. I told him that College Station was fun, but I just didn't think I wanted to be an adult there.

So if anyone who posts in this thread wants to come catch a game, you'll have a place to stay.....in a few years. Nice, I think.

We've honestly debated on it back and forth a bit. Do we really want to be there, traffic sucks with students, housing prices are a little high, etc.... But there are a couple of factors for us. One is I have family that lives in the area and it would be nice to see our kids grow up together and be close. The other is we both grew up in (other) college towns, and really miss that environment. Either way if we wind up there like I'm hoping we will, the Novaman house will be open to any CFB thread poster who wants to catch a game and some tailgating.

Every year, we hope for at least a winning record and hopefully a bowl birth. Being undersized on both lines and generally less talented than most other teams at skill positions, its fun to watch them surprise a few teams every year. The triple option/wishbone offense is a blast to watch. I've always been a fan of the service academies in general as well. Go Falcons! |

Capable of beating anyone sure, but I don't see it happening. Stillwater in particular, for whatever reason, has some voodoo magic over Baylor that they need to figure out. I think either TCU gets us, they do, or both. |

In no particular order for this year.
TCU tOSU The last two are hard. I dont buy that Oregon will be just fine, Michigan State is going to beat them. USC is one of the most over-rated teams over the past 10 and 20 years. UCLA is returning an assload of starters. I'm going with USC for the Pac12. However, the Pac12 champ will probably have 3 losses. No one teams particularly stand out head and shoulders above the others. For the SEC, it's hard not to chose Bama because even when they empty their roster, they compete. Lots of churn in the SEC for starters, only like two decent QBs returning. I think it's wide open... I'm actually going with Arkansas. They were on the cusp of so many games last year, I think they crest that hill this year. Arkansas for the SEC with 2-3 losses. Gtech will take ACC, but they will probably have 4 losses so ACC wont be represented. With no clear domination from the SEC or Pac12, we could see two from.... Big 10. I honestly think Michigan State would have the best chances as the second from the B10. Without a stand out from SEC, or Pac12; one of their spots could goto a second B10 team. I guess the big question is would the committee let that happen? I really doubt the "powers that be" would allow 2 conferences to be shut out. It would cost them too much money. I dont put it past them, with their moving goalposts of what counts and what doesnt bullshit from last season. So who knows. I hope two conferences get shut out, because that will put an 8 bracket on warp speed. |

It will be better for the program if it's true. Players will play hurt and do all the time but don't like being pressured by the coach to do so. When it gets to that point it's usually a significant injury and could get worse and end a career. It's a coaches job to protect his players. Screw that guy if that's the case. |

I find it hard to believe there was that much between an injured player and a healthy backup. I wonder if he was trying to get players on the field with concussions. That wouldn't necessarily undermine their ability to perform but would put them in serious jeopardy health wise. |

He figured to not last the season anyway, based on the team's performance. Good fire. Gives them time to get somebody decent, before other "thin ice" coaches start getting canned in November. Good luck, Illinois. Gonna kick your but on October 24...

I hope two conferences get shut out, because that will put an 8 bracket on warp speed. Agree. 2 big10 teams in it would surely get things moving. Due to talent and schedules msu and OSU will likely be heavily favored in every game. They play in November in Columbus. They are in the same division so possibly 12-1 and 13-0 ? Conference champsat the end of the year. If there are no upsets ...
If it all plays out like the pundits think, msu loses to #1 in a close game at home at gets to play Oregon while they are ranked high at home...if the other conference champs are 2 loss or 3 loss teams... Things get real murky if OSU or msu win then lose the championship game at the end of the season. History shows this can work both ways but usually what happens at the end matters more. Some will want to punish the loss bit then you have to deal with possibly putting in the team that didn't even make it to the conference championship...or drop both from contention. Or OSU loses to Hawaii and meh. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sent an email to whatever email he uses for Arf. While we're talking about Baylor, history doesn't seem on their side this year for making it to the playoffs. Saw this on reddit: TCU and K State were both 9 win teams last year, and I could see any of those 3 programs getting to 9+ this year. Tough road to slog. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Speaking of Baylor, Polupharmakos hasn't posted this year. Checked and he hasn't been on Arf in a couple months. Hope he's doing okay. Yah, noticed it too. Sent an email to whatever email he uses for Arf. While we're talking about Baylor, history doesn't seem on their side this year for making it to the playoffs. Saw this on reddit: In his past four seasons at Baylor, Briles is 1-7 away from home against teams that finish with 9+ wins. Baylor plays at Oklahoma State, TCU, and Kansas State this year. TCU and K State were both 9 win teams last year, and I could see any of those 3 programs getting to 9+ this year. Tough road to slog. No worries, I'm still above ground and kicking. Life is just a little crazy right now. Probably won't be able to watch as much football this fall as before, so alas, I'll not be able to grace ya'll with quite as much of my ever incisive and clear-sighted commentary this season. But seriously, thanks for checking in.  And on a football note, I've been the Debbie Downer all summer whenever I meet another BU fan. Everyone is all like "oh man, I'm totally looking forward to the TCU game this year," and I've been like, "that game is GOING TO SUCK." I think the Big 12 is TCU's to lose this year. I'd be happy with a 9 or 10 win season which includes a win in Stillwater. |

And be honest: Who's watching College Gameday and plans on watching the North Dakota St-Montana game?
It's been long enough since we got to enjoy CFB, I'll tune in even if its two teams I don't give a crap about. |

Keeping in line with the perpetual, self-writing joke Baylor University has become, their would-be rapist football player posted a blog on campus safety a couple of weeks before he raped an 18 year-old virgin soccer player: https://blogs.baylor.edu/samukwuachu/2013/09/27/campus-security/ Quote HistoryQuoted:

He will also have to serve 400 hours of community service. Ukwuachu was facing up to 20 years in prison That seems a strange sentence for rape. Monk |

Ack. I'll be working on Thursday. 8pm EST to 8am EST.
ETA: I guess that went over everyone's head? It means I'm going to miss Michigan's first game of the year. |

Missed college gameday this morning as I was getting some office work done early and forgot to record it. Doubt I'll watch that game today as much as I would like too. I need to get motivated today and get 4 months worth of Saturday crap done today as I'm going to be pretty worthless the next 4 months starting next weekend. |

I was watching the intro to that game and the commentators said there were 16 kids playing with college commitments. That's a bunch of quality players in 1 game. Those 2 teams must play at a level of some division 2 college teams. |

You missed Desmond Howard predicting A&M to win the SEC.

If FBS is like looking at Playboy, and FCS is like the Victoria's Secret catalog, this game is like paging through a Sears catalog lingerie section
I need Sept 5th to come already |
