Non Tennessee Football Games Open Thread

PrintYes, we have Tennessee and Vanderbilt for bowl eligibility and off season sanity this evening at 7:00 (the game thread for that goes up at 6:00), but with Iowa State knocking off Oklahoma State last night, the college football landscape just got a lot more interesting. We have a top 25 matchup in Nebraska at Michigan and perhaps history's least compelling top 25 matchup in Kansas State at Texas.
The real interest today, though, is what those one-loss powerhouse teams still in contention for the National Championship do to hapless opponents to make their resume stand out among the crowd. Double the interest when one of those teams is Oregon and the other is coached by Lane Kiffin.
And LSU remains undefeated and goes up against an absolutely terrible Ole Miss team. LSU should thank the Cyclones for the wake up call, but even with the Tigers awake, anything can happen. Plus, LSU still has Arkansas and probably Georgia.They can still fall back to the pack.
Anyway, it should be a fun day. Here's the orange-tinted schedule:
| COLLEGE FOOTBALL VIEWING SCHEDULE | ||

I seem to have a knack for going to bed when games get interesting.
Boise State has to be absolutely kicking themselves for losing to TCU.
Boise has just not been themselves this year
and it’s a shame, because this year was their best chance.

A team can sustain that kind of success for only so long.
No team goes gonzo year in and year out, period. But the first year Boise is truly having a down year, everybody’s going to use that to say that the 2010 team wasn’t as good as they really were.

That Texas is ranked
shows that the voters don’t even bother to act like they’re paying attention. They were hammered by Missouri just a week ago, a game in which they never found the end zone and their only field goal was directly off a turnover. If Missouri were ranked, maybe that’d be okay. But you can’t rank the Horns and not the Tigers.

UGA off to a sluggish start against the Mildcats
3-3 in the 1st, though they just got a long return of an arm punt.
Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.
I have to admit, it'd be very funny
if both Georgia and South Carolina lost today. SoCar would win the East on the same day they lose to the Citadel.

I have to give Nebraska this much,
they’re better at defensive technique than almost every other school. Good form tackling, good awareness.
alright, I think it's about time to make my way to Knoxville
later, y’all. beat Vandy.
Heel for school, Vol for life!

HEY YOU GUYS ROBINSON JUST TEBOWED
He scored a rushing TD. What’d you think I meant?

I thought you meant he tried a pass
but his delivery was late for the 6:13 train.

I trolled one of my friends yesterday
by showing him a picture of Tebow and telling him it was a .gif of his throwing motion. Got him for about 15 seconds.

Meyer has to be livid.
These announcers are completely off-base on their play analysis. If you’re not in position for a perfect wrap-up, you at least get an arm on the guy. Not all arm tackles are bad; sometimes it’s all you got.
And on that play, it was enough to get the tackle.
/sigh
Boise shoulda recruited The Citadel's kicker
He just drilled a 40-yarder at the half.
Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.
So on SEC vs DII day
USCe is up 7 at the half against The Citadel, UF just missed a FG to stay tied at 0 with Furman early, Samford and Auburn are knotted at 0 early, and UGA is up 3 on UK but UK is driving.
Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.
Of all three potential upsets
I want Furman the most. It’s the least likely, but still.

TAMU up 37-0 over Kansas halfway through the second quarter.
Maybe — just maybe — they’re building up enough of a lead to be able to hold on for the win in the second half.
On behalf of I Am The 12th Man

Oh ye of little faith
TD, FU!

and the Gamecocks are still completely incapable of stopping the option
Spurrier teams have never fared well vs.option teams
I'd shift Kentucky's secondary to keep everything in front of them.
If Murray has a systemic issue, one of those throws will eventually find a DB who’s camped behind the receiver.

His thumb will be sore
but the rest of him is perfectly healed, plus he’s had a month of nothing but film study. He’s gonna be beastly. 35-10, book it.
The fear
is sore thumb —> soft grip —> floating passes
by David Hooper on Nov 19, 2011 1:48 PM EST up reply actions
Naah, he'll grip the ball so hard to overcompensate
that he’ll break Rivera’s ribs when he throws it. NO FEAR
I do believe...
Bray is going to be waaaaaaay up and absurdly prepared for this one.
If the thumb isn’t a problem, he might just off.
So on pace for...
88-28 with 776 yards of offense?
Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.
And Samford ties Auburn
What was that about not scheduling FCS teams?

FWIW
At least Alabama scheduled a good FCS team. Furman is just turrible. No I’m not resentful of that whoopin’ they dropped on ASU a few weeks back. I hate you Furman. Rot and die.

Wyoming - New Mexico, 7-3 UW leads early in the second.
It’s all of 26 degrees at 7200 feet of altitude. The field is cleared nicely, but they have about a half foot of snow overall.

Should I a) make the ginormous sweet potato sitting in my kitchen, b) get fried rice from the thai place downstairs, c) be lame and go to Subway, or d) find an as yet determined alternative?
