Official 2022 college football thread: its conference realignment season. (1 Viewer)

Why is Alabama ranked #7? I'm not even sure that should be considered a good win. Who have they beaten this year?

SEC! SEC!

There is a very clear line between 6 and 7. Whoever is 7 hasn't exactly earned it, but somebody needs to be. This is why it's important one of LSU, USC, and TCU win out. If all of them sprinkle in an ell then the 4 seed will essentially be a throw away wrapped in chaos.

Yep, if TCU, LSU, USC, and Clemson all lose a game in will be awesome to see what happens.

 

[whoknew]

This is all fun to debate and talk about. But its all going to be moot. LSU is not beating Georgia.

 

[General Malaise]

No doubt that the USC defense is extremely suspect. But man, that one loss to Utah was by one point on a two-point conversion in the final minute. So close.

But I think all of the controversy will be settled in the end as I think it’s likely that USC drops one of its next two and/or LSU loses to Georgia.

Plus, that game was played in the honor of two fallen Utah players who were beloved. It was an incredible night in SLC. Those helmets were hand painted and just incredible. USC was up against it for sure.

I do think USC was lucky to survive against Oregon State, who I think is going to beat Oregon on Saturday. I hope I'm wrong, but this is going to be a very close game and Beavers' defense will be the difference.

Oregon State was really strong. But I’d be surprised if they beat a Bo Nix-led Oregon. I’m hoping his ankle is improved and Oregon punches their ticket to the PAC-12 championship. Regardless of the outcome, Oregon - USC would be a helluva game.

My accountant, wife, liver, boss and astrologist are telling me "ABSOLUTELY NOT".

They beat themselves, the toughest opponent.

 

[Desert_Power]

A two-loss team has never made the College Football Playoff, but at No. 5 this week, LSU (9-2) inched one step closer to making history.

Oddly enough, LSU also made a BCS final back in the 2008 season with 2 losses.

 

[Manster]

This is just dumb. So Big 10 and SEC are going to be the only conferences eventually?

Yep...

B1G becomes the College Football NFC and the SEC becomes the College Football AFC.

Go BEAVS!!!

 

[gump]

Kiffin to AU will heat up tomorrow morning post-Egg Bowl.

 

[Osaurus]

Egg Bowl pretty fun so far.

 

[Desert_Power]

Kiffin to AU will heat up tomorrow morning post-Egg Bowl.

You think it is going to happen? The whole public back and forth on Twitter isn't a great look.

 

[Desert_Power]

Some iffy calls in this 4th quarter

Not sure…seems like a bad move for him, but he’s hit his ceiling in Oxford…AU may be best option right now. It’ll be chaotic either way with AU involved!

 

[Tom Servo]

If the Baylor band was any higher up, they'd have to watch for low-flying aircraft. Yikes.

 

[whoknew]

Iowa down 10-0 and now Petras is out. Big Ten West may not be over yet.

 

[Galileo]

Iowa down 10-0 and now Petras is out. Big Ten West may not be over yet.

Iowa lost a DB Cooper DeJean too. If Nebraska pulls this one out, the door is wide open for Purdue...

 

[Galileo]

and now 17-0...

 

[Osaurus]

NC State/UNC game is pretty awesome

 

[Tom Servo]

Jon Kitna’s son plays at Florida? We old fam.

 

[WDIK2]

and now 17-0...

Despite their best efforts, Nebraska accidentally held on to win after being up 24-0. It was setting up to be the the most Nebraska-like loss of all time. Everyone could feel it coming. Thank goodness Iowa just outsucked Nebraska by a fraction tonight.

 

[Jayded]

The entire state of Florida forgot to play defense this year.

 

[Jayded]

I know other rivalries today (UM/tOSU, Iron Bowl, etc.) will garner more attention, but USC and ND have some pretty notable considerations to their rivalry:

• Most combined national titles
• Most combined Heisman winners
• Most combined college football HOFers
• Most combined pro football HOFers

This year is the 3rd time ever that they meet each with first year coaches and some of the above is in play for Williams personally and SC as a team. As fun as it is to beat crappy USC teams too, it’s fun when both of these schools are playing well (Bush push game anyone?). Let’s dance SC!

 

[Mookie Gizzy]

Go Blue!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WDIK2]

Rhule to Nebraska official. Not a flashy hire, but a solid one. Nebraska could really use a solid coach right now. @gump called it a while ago.

 

[Jayded]

Sounds like Freeze to Auburn is all but official too just awaiting the Iron Bowl to complete today. How do Auburn folks feel about Freeze? (esp compared to possibly Kiffin instead)

 

[BobbyLayne]

Blake Corum, Donovan Edwards, Trevor Keegan, Luke Schoonmaker, and Mike Morris are all expected to play

Go Blue!!

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Michigan/Ohio St kicking off and the first 5 threads in the ffa are soccer threads?!?!

What the hells going on here???

I got this one….Michigan sucks. That’s why.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Corum ain’t right

 

[The Commish]

Corum ain’t right

Nope...not even close. Dont think he'll be back on the field. Hopefully Edwards can go the distance. Its gonna be a long day.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Don't forget to draft Jake Moody in your next years fantasy draft.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Its gonna be a long day.

need a big play on D

 

[The Commish]

Its gonna be a long day.

need a big play on D

Likely a few.....I'll take them settling for FGs though

Take it to the soccer forum, guy.

He’s the best they can do…

 

[Desert_Power]

That should have been a fumble 6 for South Carolina but the refs blew it too early. Ridiculous.

 

[NutterButter]

Michigan's quarterback isn't very good at throwing the ball. This is gonna be a route.

 

[Osaurus]

Kiffin didn’t lie

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Big play.

 

[BobbyLayne]

it’s a Thanksgiving miracle

 

[Osaurus]

Now that was a thing of beauty

 

[Dan Lambskin]

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Corum being out they need every miracle they can get.

 

[The Commish]

Corum being out they need every miracle they can get.

Then another 5
