College Football Thread

Ole Miss is moving up in the standings with a really young team. Jeff Scott is the most exciting college player I've seen in a while. All hail the SEC.

Of course it's the best conference. Players make a good chunk of change and when they get in trouble they get slapped on the wrist.
 
And things just got a lot more interesting for my Huskers. First Tommie Frazier comes out on Twitter and ripped Bo Pelini like crazy on Saturday, Pelini fired back at his PC today saying "We don't need him.", and now Deadspin has released audio of Pelini from 2 years ago telling NU fans to f*ck off and to kiss his ass as he walks out the door. This assclown can't get out of Lincoln fast enough, but boy this is gonna be a long 3 months.....

Oregon is good, but they always run into trouble vs legit SEC defenses, b/c a good SEC defense can actually match their speed.

Oregon defense is really overrated. Shutting down a Tennesee offense with Zero playmakers is not impressive. If you run the read option with an immobile QB, it's pretty easy for a defense to zero in on someone.

Oregon vs Bama would be very similar to the A&M game. Except A&M has the best player in the Country to make it pretty close at the end. Nick Saban simply doesn't lose a championship game
 
LSU-UGA battling right now. 27 all with 3 left in the third quarter. Mettenberger is looking alright today as well.
 
I think Alabama rolls tonight. Ole Miss may stick around for a bit.

This Tigers-Dawgs game is awesome. Wire to wire action.
 
Wow! Georgia scores to grab a 44-41 lead with 1:47 left. LSU will have a chance to score a game winning touchdown.
 
As a Georgia fan, thank you, freaking Aaron Murray. My God, our defense sucks, but what a hell of a damn game. Mettenberger played his heart out, too.
 
Can we all admit this "targeting" penalty is completely stupid? That's twice today it's been reversed upon replay and four times this year I can think of.
 
That was a huge win for UGA. Figured that one would be a close one. Looks like an UGA/Bama rematch in the SEC championship. Should be a good one depending upon if the important players stay healthy. I think I'll just stab myself in the eyes so I don't have to watch those two teams play twice in a row in the championship. Good lord does it suck being a fan of a traditionally good team that has been horrible for a freakin decade. Thanks Dooley/Kiffin/Fulmer.

How bad was freakin Derek Dooley? Why is UT in the same position we were in before he was hired? I mean we should be at least at South Carolina level at this point. A very very young team with little talent in the upper class and a crap QB. What did he do for 3 years? It's just amazing. I swear Nick Saban sent him to Knoxville to screw our program. Thank God Butch Jones is actually recruiting worth a damn.
 
I just cannot get used to this boring boring offense that Will loves at UF..makes me want to poke my eyes out

He hired the Boise State guy. Do you think Muschamp is just sticking his nose in the offense too much? Dooley did that at UT and they both worked under Saban, so I wonder if they got that from him.
 
I think Tennessee's misfortune is a combo of Fat Phil, Lane and Dooley. But I think Jones will have them back sooner than later.

As for Georgia, I think our key defensive stops against S. Carolina and LSU are something to build on, and our defensive line played about as well as you can against LSU's offense. But dear god, our secondary. I'm very skeptical of us making it through the rest of the schedule to Atlanta if we can't improve there. They're young, but that doesn't excuse constantly standing out of stance not having a clue what's going on when the ball is snapped. Right now, we're just having to outscore people, and I'm not sure that will work against Florida if they can get something going, offensively.
