So with 7:25 remaining, South Carolina scored a TD to go up 19-7. The OBC elected to kick the extra point. 20-7.

They lose 21-20.

I would say I was surprised, but that would be a lie.

UMass quarterback Blake Frohnapfel threw for 589 yards today (and 5 TDs) ... which is a top-20 total all time in FBS history.

The only problem: UMass gave up 668 yards of offense to Bowling Green in a 47-42 loss.

Sucks to be 0-5 when this team could have 2-3 wins with just a couple of defensive stops.

Lotta bad defense going around this year.

God. Michigan has been such a joke since Carr left. Sad seeing Michigan suck like they have this year.

Actually no one cares about Michigan. Which is pretty ####### awesome.

I will like to see if the selection committee takes SOS into account. Auburn's remaining opponent's are all ranked in the top 15 including 3 currently ranked in the Top 10 except for Samford. Alabama has 5 opponents ranked in the Top 20 and 3 in the Top 10. If they are both undefeated come Iron Bowl. How can the selection committee not take them both over an undefeated FSU whose only opponent in the Top 25 is Notre Dame. SOS has and conference strength should weigh heavily. Top 4 at moment should be Oregon Oklahoma Alabama and either A&M/Auburn. No way FSU deserves to be in top 4 given there schedule and how they have played.

It continues to stun me how some coaches can't grasp simple arithmetic. I get that in college ball, missed extra points happen way more frequently than they do in the pros, but still, you have to have the sense to go for 2 there, with that little time left.

Didn't we kind of go through this last year? Then FSU beat Auburn and everyone said "FSU is basically an SEC team."

 

[jurb26]

17 undefeated teams left and 5 of them are in the SEC West. We are sure to have at least 4 less unbeaten teams next week as Bama/Ole Miss, Miss St/Texas AM, OU/TCU and Arz/Oregon all play.

FSU has played 2 games against top-30 teams and one against NCSU who will probably end up top-45. They've only had one cupcake. Wtf are you talking about.

For NC SOS they'll have ND, an upper-tier Big 12 team and UF. They'll be fine.

By seasons end, ND might not look like near the quality win you think it will. They could easily lose 4 games, maybe 5.

True, but we weren't talking about Auburn. Auburn plays 8 more games this season and only 1 of those games is vs a team outside of the current top 17. Unreal. Of course many of those teams are simply the SEC West so there will be canibilzation.

 

[bigmarc27]

Deshaun Watson with 400+ yards and 6 passing TDs for Clemson. Clemson fans should be excited about this kid...

He's awesome - reminds me a bit of Cam Newton. Not quite as mobile, but better touch. He's incredibly accurate and poised right now. Watching the game, it looked like Morris still has the training wheels on, so I'm pumped to see things when they let him loose a little more.

Our run game right now needs some real work - we're scoring so fast that our defense is just gassed at the end.

Actually, it all started with Auburn

 

[gump]

This time next we'll know a lot more.

Ole Miss/Bama - pass D is Bama's weakness, and Wallace is talented enough to win...but he's not playing well enough to date, and the youth in the secondary for Bama is getting better by the week. OM needs a career game from Bo to stay close, or Bama wins comfortably and cements itself as the CFP favorite.

I didn't realize Miles was 61...take him off the Michigan list.

They only have 4 possible losses left on their schedule. They won't lose all 4 of them.

Om couldn't protect Bo against Memphis last night. O/U on Bo's sack+int+fumble total should be about 11.5.

Tweet of the night came from Sallee...

@BarrettSallee: Something tells me Ole Miss really doesn't want the Bama game to be THAT big of a deal.

I hate the Miss state v. A & M game didn't get a prime time spot. We should match up well with them.

Also, can we please start seeing Ameer mentioned for the Heisman? I've seen him creep from #5 in the "top 5" to #4, but people still really only ever talk about the "top 3" at best.

He's leading the nation in rushing yards and all purpose yards by a wide margin. That's with being taken out shortly after the half twice (he had 198 yards and 3 TDs at the half this week) and when every team Nebraska plays knows that Ameer is the key to our whole offensive success. Ameer and his backup both finished with 22 carries against Illinois but Ameer almost doubled Imani Cross's yardage totals (a very respectable 22-109). And he's just such a good guy.

Next week at Mich. St. and Nov. 15th at Wisconsin are going to be huge for that. If he puts up numbers in both of those games he'll be right up there. The Ameer, Gordon head to head game should generate a ton of Heisman discussion for both of them.

Of course they will look at strength of schedule. I don't see the point in discussing such a specific scenario this early in the season.

Quote from Ole Miss DB Cody Prewitt:

"We understand that we haven't played a team that's going to be as good as 'Bama," Prewitt said Saturday night after the game. "But we don't really think 'Bama is as good as they have been."

Maybe no one will notice...or...Alabama LB Reggie Ragland just retweeted it to the entire team.

I'd be all over Arizona if I were y'all. Holy cow that's way too many points. I'm sweating a "W" much less 3+ TDs. And I'd think more points for Oklahoma, no?

 

[timschochet]

ASU will play much better even without their starting QB. SC won't cover.

 

[timschochet]

Alabama will have a tough game into the 2nd half but will win by 2 TDs.

 

[timschochet]

And Miss St will win outright.

Tim I think you are looking for the hot sports takes thread down the hall.

 

[gump]

Now Hoke is all over Good Morning America for not pulling the injured QB.

This is the worst coaching implosion since Mike Price hired a hooker and got fired before coaching a game...or maybe worse.

Get this guy out of there today, so you don't have to deal with questions for the next 2 months and potential candidates are clear it's open.

 

[The Commish]

There's a news conference today....I kept my thoughts to this in the Michigan thread since I didn't feel this was the place, but since you guys brought it up and not me, I'll vent. I've been a generally patient fan. I've given Hoke the benefit of the doubt. What happened Saturday is inexcusable and exactly what Brandon needed to happen. Now, he'll just dump Hoke and save his own sorry ### to continue the destruction of the Michigan brand.

Hoke's statement on Morris, FWIW:

“The safety of our student-athletes is always our top priority. We generally never discuss the specifics of a student-athlete's medical care, but Shane Morris was removed from yesterday's game against Minnesota after further aggravating an injury to his leg that he sustained earlier in the contest. He was evaluated by our experienced athletic trainers and team physicians, and we're confident proper medical decisions were made.

The University of Michigan has a distinguished group of Certified Athletic Trainers and team physicians who are responsible for determining whether or not a player is physically able to play. Our coaches have no influence or authority to make determinations if or when an injured player returns to competition. The health and welfare of our student-athletes is and will continue to be a top priority.”
