How about that Michigan State team. Got dunked today. Looks like Vanderbilt gave Arkansas some bicarb moments today. Lost by 3 points. Wooda, Cooda, Shooda been an upset.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Stanford got the bejeebers scared out of them tonight. What a game. I am not sure my nervous system can take any more excitement this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yelled and hollared thru most of the game. As an SC alum (played football there too 50+ years ago ) I thought the game was great, but the outcome could have been better. Neither team has anything to be sad about, the best team won. If SC hadn't had the penalty on Stanfords last drive in reg. time, they probably would have won. The las play in regulation was also a freshman mistake, should have fallen down before reaching the sideline, some time would have been left for a FG try. All in all...great game. FIGHT ON!!!

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well the ranks of the undefeated thinned some this week. According to my count, only five left. Wondering now if the guys that go home with the crystal football will be undefeated this year. According to my cypher I find the following: Big 12 conference Oklahoma State 8-0 Conference USA Houston 8-0 Pac 12 Stanford 8-0 I think they got some scratches and bruises from last night overtime game. They won in double overtime. SEC Alabama 8-0 LSU 8-0 That is all folks! Looks like a new rivalry may have been born last night, between Stanford and USC. I hope the big matchup next week doesn't outgrow the hype because there are truly two great teams. Some good teams got roughed up pretty good yesterday. Some managed to survive and other got bloodied pretty good. One surprise to me was that Penn State leads the Big 10 right now. I would have though that the cheese eaters would run the show, but looks like that changed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Minor point...but Stanfords win was TRIPLE OT. Ah so right, Big Sage. It was a heck of a ball game though. I have no affiliations with either team but I almost had heart failure several times. Not to take anything away from USC and the way they played, but Stanford is for real. It was probably very hostile in the USC locker room last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Tull, SASS #66742 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Was also pulling for USC to knock Stanford from the ranks of the undefeated. BMC - You forgot Boise State in the Mountain West on your undefeated list. Though I do not think there would be any way an unbeaten Boise State would play for the national championship - deserving or not. Okie - there is still HOPE! Oregon goes to Stanford in 2 weeks. And LSU at Alabama this coming Saturday - I will need to order up more Valium. Tull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiring minds want to know! Looking back on past performances by the BCS, the most likely answer to your question would be that a one loss OU team would jump ahead of Boise State, but NOT Stanford. Probably any VERY good one loss team - be it Stanford, OU, OSU and conceivably LSU or Bama - could jump an unbeaten Boise State in the BCS. There is even a scenario where LSU and Alabama could play a second time, with the BCS being on the line. As BMC so eloquently points out - it is the B. S. poll. Boise State gets no respect.

Blackwater 53393 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 All joking aside, with the current level of performance from top to bottom in the SEC, any outside team would have a difficult if not impossible task facing them to survive an SEC schedule and come out undefeated. That would be in football, baseball, golf, basketball, bowling, and few more I can't think of off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To any Bama doubters, particularly a certain Kajun, FYI the bean counters in Vegas favor Bama by 7, I'm still predicting Bama by 18. The vaunted LSU defense is a speed defense set up primarily to stop spread offenses, let's see how they do against an offense that plays good old fashioned smash mouth football, three yards and a cloud of dust. On the other side of the ball Bama shut down Arkansas, LSU's offense isn't as strong as the Razorbacks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Let's look at the numbers: Total Defense: Alabama -- 181 yards, 1st in nation LSU -- 251 yards, 4th in nation Total Offense: Alabama -- 458 yards, 22nd in nation LSU -- 372 yards, 81st in nation Purely by numbers, Alabama wins. However, LSU has had a tougher season thus far, handing #6 Oregon their only loss, and beating Florida and Tennessee by the same margins as Alabama. I think this game will come down to turnovers.

And special teams. Don't forget special teams. A key punt downed deep, a missed tackle or even a tackle made on special teams could be the difference in the field position game. Neither defense is gonna give up much on a consistent basis, so field position is gonna be important. You can't kick a field goal if you are on your own 25. Watch the second half of the LSU-Auburn game again. The LSU special teams was on fire. If they come out that fired up and hitting Maze and the rest of Alabama's returners like they were rocking Auburn's returners (I'm pretty certain McCaleb and company couldn't taste anything 'til Wednesday or Thursday because LSU knocked the taste out of their mouth in the 3rd quarter), it is gonna make a difference late in the game.

Captain Bill Burt Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 As much as I hate to say it LSU clearly has a better special teams unit. OTH Okie, LSU played a Gator team minus it's starting QB, and with a hurt backup, both courtesy of the Tide. They played a TN team whose QB was starting a game for the first time. Oregon was, and still is, overrated. If they were playing in the SEC they wouldn't even make the top 25, too slow and not enough depth or D. Just MHO. YMMV.

Why play the game. LSU has the better Special Team. Dang it Captain, you went and spoiled the ending for me. I was hoping to see a suspenseful game. Now all the LSU coaching staff has to do is play their specials team for 60 minutes. All this, and the Slippery Rock game is not televised. I am not willing to wager my money on either team. I think it is too close to call. I am willing to bet that the best team will win. But, what is for lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After chipping into the LSU bail fund even the Kajun's funds may be getting scarce. BTW, Kajun, thanks for the kind words about my little buckeroo! He had a lot of fun at GOA, then came home and made a long list of cowboy items for Santa Claus to bring him. I'm bringing him to Deena's fun shoot and cowboy party Saturday after we play our final soccer game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
