(1) Alabama @ (9) Tennessee
(2) Ohio State @ (8) Wisconsin
(16) Miami-FL vs. UNC
(12) Ole Miss @ (22) Arkansas

Notre Dame vs Stanford
Colorado vs Arizona State
Washington State vs UCLA

light on ranked match-ups this week, but four of the top ten are playing each other.

Dores shutting down the Bulldogs run game: Chubb and Michel have 66 combined rushing yards...on 26 carries.

of course, Vandy has 34 net passing yards through three quarters...

LB Zach Cunningham made a hell of a play -- scrapped across two gaps to tackle McKenzie off-tackle, right at the sticks. amazing game by him (19 tackles)

U(sic)GA fans are so dumb

turnover game for Tigers

Rutgers also fired the cannon after a missed field goal by the Illini, you take your good moments when you can get them I suppose

Eastern Michigan up 3-0 on Ohio....worst job in FBS IMO, ....pulling for the good folks in Ypsilanti to get to a bowl this year

>Rutgers also fired the cannon after a missed field goal by the
>Illini, you take your good moments when you can get them I
>suppose

and if so, I'm sorry.

wait...ummm....*looks down and kicks at the ground*

1st team
- Jalen Reeves-Maybin (OUT)
- Darrin Kirland Jr. (OUT)

2nd team
- Colton Jumper
- Cortez McDowell (OUT)

3rd team
- Elliott Berry

gonna be a big match-up with Hurts ability to run and move the pocket.

it's their destiny

both run and pass. I know Hall is coming back from injury, but the Vols have to get out of that match-up. chip, double, something.

now Bama converts two first downs and just past mid field

two outside zone plays were the left defensive tackle ran two gaps away from where he should've been. then they got caught in a nickel blitz on a reverse.

and then Hurts easily finds the receiver exactly in the area the db blitzed from, lol

2 yards out of bounds and he takes a shot to his upper thigh/lateral hip....he comes up limping.

should've been a penalty (shocker)

obviously Bama is almost unbeatable, but they get away with a lot of bullshit the refs dont call

...but then again I also thought Oklahoma would beat us by 3 TDs on the road.


Have no idea what to expect tonight, its supposed to rain, so if that's the case...throw out all the stats and H2H matchup numbers.

Madison, at night, in the rain is hell.


*vicious flashback of Lee Evans TORCHING Chris Gamble on a go route to ruin our repeat championship hopes*





cant wait!

Arizona is dealing with a lot of injuries but the Trojans have 34 points before halftime

they've already smoked Colorado & ASU, who play each other tonight. i dont see either of them finishing above USC.

they play @ Washington in a few weeks, that's probably a preview to the P12championship.

just trying to Marv Albert the Trojans so my Devils win the south.

I'd just be hoping for a good bowl game

they're basically the same team they are every year and will compete at the upper level of the PAC.

they just need to not play bama ever again.

the game would be closer.

this at his feet. the offensive line is getting flat out beat in pass pro and they can't run. bama's ends don't even have to worry about the run, and are shooting upfield. same for the secondary, who could give a shit about playaction with no running game.

in the same place at the same time?

I rest my case.

Do better

they just look like twins.

>they just look like twins.

ryan shazier has it too

i just legit thought he looked like Charlie.

didn't know Shazier had it either but i guess i can't remember ever seeing him w/out a helmet on.

No Narduzzi + Harbaugh could make getting back on track going forward extremely difficult...

=======================================

they could pull a miracle out of their ass against Michigan or Ohio State, but that's just the past talking. losing four in a row, getting blown out by BYU and Northwestern, allowing 54 points to the latter (the same Wildcats team that scored 7 points against Illinois State) -- they are dreadful by every measure.

and it's the usual heavy mix of upperclassmen that are starting. just completely out of nowhere for one of the strongest programs of the last half decade.

Chryst is an awesome playcaller and OSU is getting turned around, sometimes literally

He could throw the long ball and with accuracy

Barret loses zip on anything over 30 yards.. It starts floating. He's obviously the best to run Urbans system but he doesn't have the gun to air it out. Esp with young wrs and no safety to fall back on. (Devin Smith, Michael Thomas etc)

he is the next Michael Thomas for us.

Some incredible throws down the stretch

and really arm strength is a bigger problem than accuracy.

but i don't really get why he looks so bad at times and so good at others. conservative game plans from the outset really seem to rattle him.

it's interesting that the rumors are him going pro after this season. yet the nfl has no need for the one thing that he does consistently well - run the zone read.

OSU is bringing in a lot of qb recruits who are pass first players...this offense is going to have to evolve in that direction. being able to pass the ball on the road is kinda important.

loved every bit of it. JT Barrett is a baller and so is Noah Brown. maybe only two or three teams in the country would've won at Wisconsin tonight.

needs to happen.

Mind you, I'd *love* to see at least one or preferably BOTH not make it...but that's just my bias talking.

Objectively speaking, and with all due respect to Michigan and Louisville (fuck clemson), that's the matchup I wanna see.

They're definitely on my radar.

that loss and them beating Braxton the fuck up is still annoying.

I wouldnt mind beating both.

Oregon and Alabama was perfect.

Clemson and Alabama would be even sweeter.

losing to MSU that year was 100x worse...losing to MSU last year was 1000x worse.

OSU defense was atrocious in 2013 and i had no expectations for the bowl game where nothing was really on the line. roby out, spence out...that game was whatever to me.

I'm still terrified of Nebraska v. Ohio State but I want to see the Wisconsin game so bad. I haven't straight up enjoyed watching a Husker team the way I do this squad in a decade or so.

I guess

Hopefully they can get a win and rest some people to get healthy

They are going to need guys like Gates and Carter against Wisky, even then some Badger turnovers on offense are going to be necessary to win IMO

thank god for those parents, man.

Really really good as an unabated pass rusher but total non-factor vs the run

He cant let tight ends erase him on the ground

>Really really good as an unabated pass rusher but total

in a very limited amount of snaps.

*bosa shrug*

http://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings

1. Bama (60)
2. Ohio St
3. Michigan (1)

the coaches looks like
1.Bama(61)
2. Ohio St (2)
3. Clemson (1) -- this team should've lost at home to NC State and a coach still gives them a vote for 1.

Wisconsin ran for 71 yards on 28 carries and had 3.5 yards per *pass* attempt

Michigan has two good wins, Wiscy & Colorado
Ohio St has two good wins, Wiscy (road) & Oklahoma (road)

Michigan doesnt even have a difficult road game until the final game @ Ohio State. clearly its a great we'll see circumstance but at this point in the season it is hilariously wrong to issue them a #1 vote.

where would they be ranked if they had a M on their helmet and an obnoxiously loud head coach?

and are we really now forced to call colorado a good win? they haven't been on tv much around my way so i haven't seen enough of them to say one way or the other. i get that theyre improved but hard to believe there's a lot of talent on that roster.

you dont have to try and convince me.

regarding Colorado, honestly, they arent that solid... but they have gotten MUCH better as the year progressed... beating Oregon got them feeling confident, they battled with an improved USC team (cmon) and they just beat the absolute shit out of a decent ASU team.

honestly i was just trying bring some pity to the MIchigan fans who are bragging on their season thus far

> they battled with an
>improved USC team (cmon) and they just beat the absolute shit
>out of a decent ASU team.

seemed like USC really outclassed colorado that game but kept them in the mix with a lot of costly turnovers in colorado territory. my friend was texting me during the game and was saying the talent disparity was huge.

and didn't colorado have to play the 2nd half against mich with their backup qb?

They should get the same skepticism that Baylor and Nebraska get, and for good reason. Though I do believe they are much better than both of those teams.

Putting up 70 points on Oregon? zzzz
Stanford zzzzzz
Arizona zzzzzz (might be the worst team in the Pac-12)

non-conference schedule is horrible

I'm not going to say Michigan is a world beater but they have proven more than Washington has thus far. Wisconsin is light years better than anyone UW has played and Colorado is better too.

Utah will be their first test.

but i don't understand putting them in the same category as Baylor and Nebraska (who were fortunate to beat oregon at home - meanwhile wash went to austzen and humiliated them).

at least wash has left the confines of their zip code...we're in mid-october and mich has only been away at rutgers? cmon.

>Utah will be their first test.

don't see utah as a stiffer test than what they've already played.

And its not shocking that an undefeated team with the #1 defense in almost every counting AND tempofree stat would garner a 1st place vote.

There is enough NFL talent performing on the field to pass ONE guy's eye test.

like, maybe a computer with basic A.I. intelligence would ping a scientist and be like "hey, scientist, this team has the best defense statistically, with every counting and tempofree stat (whatever the entire fuck that means), this should garner a first place vote!"

and the scientist would laugh, pat the computer on the head, and say, "computer, you haven't watched any of the games this season. Michigan has played a bunch of children, and Alabama and Ohio St have played decent teams"

you are doubling down on your wrong. just stop.

cause i said nothing about OSU's defense .

but whatever though i don't really care...and didn't you clowns learn last year (or pretty much every year for the last 15+ years) after thumping your chests about the defense after pitching a few shutouts at home against cupcakes...and then getting your asses blasted at home by a real team to end the season?

this 'best defense in the nation' stuff is pretty funny given mich's joke of a schedule.

not really sure how we'd prove either claim but i i guess u gotta take the small, irrelevant victories when you've been getting your ass handed to you on the field for the past 2 decades.

If you mean from 2004 on, then sure.

But thats not close to 2 decades lol

2010- present
2000-2010

grade it however you wish. meanwhile I'll be over here in reality...

not sure what you're trying to prove by posting links to random articles that are predicting whatever

there were lots of fun articles about dick rod and hoke too...I'll wait until something is actually proven on the field.

No more no less

>No more no less

Those werent a mirage and it doesnt happen on accident. More like a preview.

Meyer kicked Durkin around last year for sure...but he aint around anymore.

>Those werent a mirage and it doesnt happen on accident. More
>like a preview.

yes, it was a preview of mich being able to kick the crap out of lesser competition. they've certainly proved that they can bully the lower tier big 10 teams, that's for sure.

>Meyer kicked Durkin around last year for sure...but he aint
>around anymore.

LOL...so now Durkin ain't the shit like y'all claimed last year?

And no, that wasn't some strategic chess match masterminded by meyer...it was a straight up ass kicking by superior players.

Indiana ran for like 300 yards as well

If his weakness is OSU's strength, thats a problem. Im pretty sure thats the reason Don Brown was hired. I still think Durkin is a good coach tho.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/college-why-michigan-could-have-college-footballs-best-defense-in-2016/

They have at least 4 DL that will be drafted this year, maybe 5 (Charlton, Wormley, Glasgow, Hurst, Godin)

The best cover corner in the country 2 years running

And the national defensive POY (who also happens to be the 1st team AA PR in waiting)

There is a ton of NFL talent, as much as anyone. And a coordinator who had the #1 total D last year.

and have not played anywhere near the schedule that bama has.

if mich somehow makes it into the playoffs and squares off with bama they'll share the same fate as msu did last year. hopefully the country will be spared of having to watch that.

Alabama has trouble with spreads. That archaic pro set Harbaugh trots out would get devoured by Alabamas d line & linebackers.

Your quarterback sucks, your running backs are barely average and your wrs suck too. O line is average as hell. Not a single 1st round pick on offense

I'm laughing just picturing it


If any of you michigan fans want to put money on The Game plz let me know . Minimum bet 5 maximum 500

it was a testament to how shitty your special teams is, if anything.

And yeah the FG situation needs to get cleaned up quick. Kid from Rockford HAS to pan put.

Coverages are good tho, and the return game is l33t obviously
