2016 CFB Week 10 Open Thread

A lot of sweet, sweet tears to be enjoyed out in the interweb tubes this morning, fellas. Juggalo tears. Domer tears. Texas tears. Sadly, no cult tears, and that is a disappointment.

Wanted to take another look at what's left of their schedule. It actually made me faintly queasy to type P*nn State instead of Ped.

Not a lot of hope there, barring a miracle in Indiana, or some kind of voodoo resurgence by Sparty. (Not sure jinx powers work if you do it on purpose.)

The really sickening thing was that at the bottom of their schedule, it lists the Big Ten Championship Game--sure they do it for everyone, but it was still unpleasant to see it there.

This world lacks justice.

Yep. As much as it pains me, we have to root for Harbaugh to come into Columbus undefeated. Although, the slim scenario of the pedsters winning the East on a head-to-head tiebreaker while we destroy Michigan followed by their winning, but looking mediocre, in the CG leading to the committee sliding us into the #4 spot ahead of them would be too glorious to contemplate.

Bama has a very mediocre offense and they will get their asses kicked when the time comes. The narrative is living off of the namesake. QB is extremely shaky and average at best. The Bucks play them last night, it's a stomping of similar fashion as Nebraska.

They have a good defense that is built to defend against the running game and that's where the praise ends. I'm anxious to watch them play against an offense that was clicking the way JT and Co. were last night.

That QB throws those balls against the Bucks, it would be a pick six party.

I've watched them struggle all year against weak competition in a dead conference. They will not be ready for the playoffs. Mark it down.

So is this another "Greatest defense every played!!1!1 SEC!" game, or is the offense for both teams that crappy?

i was at the game, and both defenses are damn good.
i'm biased, but i think our D is better than their D.

unfortunately, we don't get to play against our offense.

They are already starting to talk up Mississippi State because of next weeks game with Bama.

It knows no bounds.

State is probably a little better than their record, but that is not a good football team no matter how you look at them.

Bama's O is nothing special. we shut them down last night. Their one TD was aided by a blatant hold that was missed on the edge.

we get that flag and it's 3rd and 19 or 20.
and a different game.

the moment they scored it was over for us. Our D would have needed to score to win last. i guy because our offense is...hell i don't even have a word to describe it.

i'm am so sick of going into these games with literally every other piece in place to dominate and create a freaking dynasty. only to watch one side of the ball not even attempt to participate in the game.

our defense played outstanding all game long. the crowd was as intense and electric as it's ever been. We had this fucking game. it was ours to take. And we shit our pants on offense yet again.

yeah Bama is really damn good on D. but holy fuck! Ole Miss, A&M, and Arky all manage to move the ball and put some points against them. They just couldn't contain the rest of Bama for 60 minutes.

LSU handled they business in all other phases. Won the turnover battle. fewer penalties for fewer yards. Did well in the field position battle.

but our offense fucking sucks.

Gillmore also said it's easy to imagine the Buckeyes jumping UW to #4 because of the number of quality wins and strength of schedule.

I was listening to Championship Drive ESPN Podcast and some guy was saying he has less reservations about UW than teams like OSU and Michigan, because the latter havent played anybody. I did a double take. Unless I misinterpreted his statement, he doesn't watch college football.

PAC 12 types have convinced themselves that they have the toughest division in CFB based on Sagarin rankings.

So, it is considered poor form to run up the score on a top ten team?


Right...and why wasn't anyone criticizing scUM when they dumped 78 points on a poor Rutgers team at THEIR HOUSE. Sorry, I know I've said this a couple of other times but when that happened scUM was praised up and down like they won the National Title. And, the whole Ruth Chris thing....for fuck sake. I highly doubt Bama would've been getting this kind of sh*t if they had hung even 50 on LSU.

Also, I wish someone would just slap me every time I click on the comments section for ESPN articles. It's infuriating to listen to those bozos. Yet, for some reason I keep doing it.
