Looking at the Oregon schedule, they truthfully haven't beaten anyone.

Hell of a game.  OU made their push, but this time Ole Miss had an answer unlike last week.  That was really fun and a marquee win for that program

Speaking of wild finishes, regardless of what happens, this Texas comeback was nuts.  Credit to them for digging deep. Arch played some of the best he has all year to get them back

Huh
the only good thing about being a college football coach nowadays is the buyout when you're fired. Every other part seems awful.

Given the recent buzz about gambling scandals and the soon to be NCAA impact.  Legit ears perk situation in the Georgia Southern-Arkansas St game.

Trailing 31-21, GSU gets the ball back with 10 min left.  They make a few plays and are in ASU territory at the 31 with 8:15 left.  They get held to a 4th down, but there is a booth review for targeting which is given.  They now have it 1st and 10 from the ASU 13, down 10 with 6 min left.  They proceed to run 6 straight times, all straight up the middle, including 1 with the back up QB who has 45 rushing yards total on the season.  They get stuffed on 3 straight times from the 3 and decide to take the 3 points AFTER the 2 min warning.  Oh yea, they have all 3 time outs.

Onside kick fails, ASU drives down and kicks a FG.  GSU gets the ball back and runs meaningless plays.  Game over.  34-24...the total? 59

Like its not even defensible or curious.  They run a tempo offense, they scored 35,41, and 41 in their last 3 conference games.  But down 10 late in the game they turn into Iowa.

For all the justified disappointment in Arch Manning, Nussmier at LSU has had an equally underwhelming year.  Another top 10 pick QB prospect and Heisman contender who has been entirely pedestrian all year

He didn't put anyone's life at risk to film a practice, so that's a win.

He's been getting the crap kicked out of him.

I stand corrected, TAMU, that A&M team is good.  -9 points at the end of the half on turnovers made the score closer than it was and it wasn't close by the end

Big 18 Recap:

The country's top league had another hard fought day in the trenches. Let's take a look at a lot of games that will directly impact Marquette's cause: 

Oregon 21 Wisconsin 7: A valiant effort by our boys comes up just short in the gloom of Eugene.  The refs looked to be paid off by Phil Knight, imo.

Michigan 31 Michigan State 20:  Defeat with Dignity for Sparty who managed more yards than unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and covered the spread.

Rutgers 27 Purdue 24: Brutal defeat for Purdue who allows Rutgers the inside track to the Pinstripe Bowl.

Washington 42 Illinois 25: The playoff talk for Illinois of September seems quaint.

Iowa 41 Minnesota 3:  Thought this was a rivalry game?

Nebraska 28 Northwestern 21: Speaking of rivalry games, the Cornhuskers vanquished their ancient foe in a classic in the corn.  Big win for Matt Rhule as he eyes the Penn State gig.

Indiana 56 UCLA 6: UCLA kicked a sad FG late.  Embarrassing.  Indiana is good, people.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.

They, along with Ohio State, Indiana and Georgia, are the best teams I've seen this year. Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Oregon are just too messy.

I'm not sure I buy Georgia, either.  That's not a clean team, imo.  The defense has been gashed against good offenses.  Lucky for them, they don't play another good offense until the last Saturday of the season

And the UMBC Retrievers in 2018. UVA blown out by the #16 seed by 20 points! That former UMBC coach is now HC at UVA.  ;D

Yeah, I had trouble buying into the Illini To The Playoffs thing, and I had a LOT of trouble with it after they lost to Indiana by 742 points.

Washington has as talented a group of skill players as any team in the country, so they can make any defense look bad. But as talented as they are, they can be a little loose with the football, and their defense is meh. Which is why the Huskies are merely good and not playoff-worthy.
