Today’s College Football Thread (9/22/12)

A lot of good games on tap today, especially later tonight when there are four games between ranked teams ...

#18 Michigan at #11 Notre Dame
#15 Kansas State at #6 Oklahoma
#10 Clemson at #4 Florida State
#22 Arizona at #3 Oregon

I'm looking forward to seeing how my Sooners do against a ranked team after a couple of wins against small-conference teams. So who does your team play? What games are you looking forward to?

1. Go Cats, Go

Carl Perkins said it.

I believe it.

That settles it.

[Ptah]

6. Carl Perkins said "Go, cat, go."

[fishwax]

8. Well, I can't get behind the conclusion, but I appreciate the supporting evidence

[petronius]

2. LSU! First time I get to see them on TV this year, and the first conference game

Geaux Tigers!

[fishwax]

10. still a few weeks before the real fun starts, though

Florida, South Carolina, first trip to College Station, Alabama, and Mississippi State -- a pretty stout October/early November on the way ... (not that Auburn is a gimme, especially on the road, but they're definitely down this year)

[petronius]

16. No doubt about that - this is just the first swoop on a very big roller coaster

And 9-0 is a good way to start! (Although I would have liked a better look at that safety, seemed close)...

[fishwax]

18. Just saw the closing minute or so -- that was quite a scrape

but a win is a win

[JonLP24]

3. Looking forward to ASU-Utah

Hopeful they can get off to a good start in conference play.

[taterguy]

4. Appalachian State is playing Chattanooga

Dumbass

[fishwax]

11. Utah is hard to figure this year, but then I guess ASU is too

It looked pretty bad when Utah got beat by Utah State, but then the Aggies almost beat Wisconsin on the road. And Utah knocked off BYU.

Hopefully it should be a good matchup for the nightcap tonight

On edit: I guess I won't be able to see it since it's on the Pac 12 network

[Ptah]

19. Try these links for ASU-Utah

5. QUACK!

The Coach's Motto: Win the Day


At least the televised game doesn't conflict with the Timbers soccer game today! I had to miss my Ducks last week because of conflict with Timbers.

[fishwax]

12. Nice to have a good late game to watch

Should be interesting to see if Arizona is for real or if the Ducks will shred them ...

[Ptah]

7. West coast late game: Arizona at Oregon.

Score prediction 99-98

Bear Down, Arizona!

[fishwax]

13. lol -- that score could be close

the over/under is in the high 70s

[grasswire]

14. no!

Today we are rivals, Ptah!

[Ptah]

17. Friendly rivals, looking for a great game!

Yay football!

[JonLP24]

9. Beavers up 17-3

Good team.

[fishwax]

15. UCLA back to within a touchdown -- 24-17

I missed the first half, but it looks like this has been a pretty good game so far.

[fishwax]

20. Answer to how the Sooners would do against a ranked team

Not very well. Not very well at all.

[hibbing]

21. here kitty kitty

Hey,
As a Husker, I can't stand K-State, but have to give their coach credit, coming back and now down go the Sooners. Oh well, my Huskers beat up on a cream puff today.

Peace

[fishwax]

22. Saw that Husker score -- looked like days of old

Not much else for the Big 10 to cheer about this week. The Illini (my other team) got beat by four touchdowns at home by Louisiana Tech.

No doubt about Bill Snyder though. His team was ready. OU made some really stupid mistakes, especially the fumble into their own end zone for a defensive TD and a fumble at the KSU one taking away an offensive TD. Still, KSU was there to take advantage of those mistakes, and they didn't make any mistakes of their own. They played a good game.

[smackd]

23. ah, the sweet nectar of sooner tears

hook 'em

of course, ksu has had our number for years, not really looking forward to manhattan this year

[fishwax]

24. I'll be looking to kick this at, oh, about 2:20 on October 13

Yeah, tonight sucked for us, though. Obviously not a championship caliber team.

[Cali_Democrat]

25. This Oregon Arizona game is pretty exciting

It's only 7-0 but it's been pretty exciting. Lot of action

[Ptah]

26. Arizona - red zone four times, no score.

[grasswire]

27. I felt quite sorry for your coach, Ptah. What a miserable night for him. n/t

[Ptah]

28. What a beating we got.

[grasswire]

30. sorry

:::hoping greywarrior isn't an AZ fan:::

[OriginalGeek]

29. My 'Noles did good

but it was up in the air for too long for my blood pressure.

31. DIII football fan here............

Nephew plays at Wittenberg, they beat Wooster 17-7. His older brother played at Allegheny, Alleghen;y beat Wabash 17-10 in OT. So if Wittenberg can beat Allegheny on 10/20, and not lose a game or even lose to Wabash, Wittenber can take the conference.
