NCAA College Football 2014 - LD

[Kermit]

With the 4-team playoff and an elevation in competition in non-conference play, this year adds even more to the pot when discussing college football.

As a bit of an icebreaker, let's put down our 4-team predictions for the first playoffs in division one college football.


1. Florida State
2. UCLA
3. OU
4. Alabama

The last two are easily interchangeable with a team(s) from their own conference. OU with Baylor, no one else is sniffing the playoffs (unless maybe K-State, if they go undefeated). Even then, OU or Baylor will most likely have to go undefeated to gain admission. However, there could be a scenario where they could drop a loss to one another and still get in (albeit, very unlikely). Alabama is easily interchangeable with whoever wins the SEC championship. I don't see the SEC cracking two teams this first year.

I have a recurring dilemma on Saturday morning's this time of year: watch college or play Madden?

 

[The Holy One]

Good to see my hometown Georgia Southern Eagles looking impressive on the road even if it's against NC State.

 

[Ty Burna]

25 straight wins for NDSU after rolling up 34 unanswered on Iowa St.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. They upset K-State last year as well.

I jinxed it. I know I did.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. They upset K-State last year as well.

This is actually the fifth year in a row they have done it.


Ty, its time to upgrade your dignity to the point were this isn't even really worth mentioning.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Mighty NorCal's California Golden Bears looking like a new team this year. As I predicted they would. Installed an all new system on both sides of the ball and played a ton of freshman last year. Of course they were frightfully bad.

 

[klunderbunker]

UK had its high point this year by crushing Tennessee Martin. We should be fine against Ohio next week but then we get to lose our 27th straight to Florida.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

AND I have my fantasy draft in 45 min

 

[Mighty NorCal]

..............soooo.


This Bama - WVU game.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well that's interesting.

 

[The Holy One]

It seems West Virginia is tired of being humbled. Also Bama fans must be having post-war flashbacks from that return.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Navy had some sweet uniforms this week, and hung in there with Ohio State til the end.

Oh, and ND is killing Rice. Everett Golson is looking good considering he hasn't played football in over 600 days.

 

[Kermit]

If the SEC's golden child gets beat by two Big 12 teams in a row, ESPN may explode.

 

[Lowdown]

UCLA had a very underwhelming performance today. I have no doubt they're gonna drop a few spots. Mora better fix up that O-line in a hurry. Stanford and Oregon are coming.

 

[The Holy One]

I think everybody in the state of Georgia but Mike Bobo realizes that Todd Gurley + Football in hands = Touchdown.

 

[Megatron]

UW/LSU I have a strong feeling will be GOTW. I say UW by a FG.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Clemson has clearly given up.


and FSU got the jammies out early for OKST. nighty night.

 

[The Holy One]

About time they gave the ball to Gurley and the other running backs, and the defense has really stepped up since the 2nd Quarter. I don't think Clemson has a positive yard in the 4th. I'm almost a little scared now though b/c I'm not used to Mark Richt making halftime adjustments.

 

[The Holy One]

OK State didn't go down without a fight. Some very surprising results in Week 1.

 

[Lowdown]

USC put on a dominating show tonight. Let's see what they do against Stanford next week.

 

[Kermit]

I'm really surprised by Oklahoma State's showing against Florida State. They had the 2nd most starters leave their program out of all of the Division 1 schools. Also, their quarterback has proven to be unreliable in the past. They should hold their heads high after that performance.

 

[Lowdown]

A hard fought victory for USC. Way to end the game strong.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Glad we can go ahead and forget any sort of playoff contention for the Big Ten this early on.

Way to go for everyone involved.
