NCAA Week 13 LD

[Megatron]

I would normally make this on Saturday, but there are 3 big matchups today/night: Auburn/Alabama, Oregon/Arizona, Boise State/Nevada. Should be a stacked day, not sure if I'm gonna leave the TV a whole lot all day.

While the Big East is no doubt bad, I think West Virginia could hang with a few teams, even though I don't think Geno Smith is the answer at QB.

Pitt just needs to learn how to hang onto the ball, because that's the only way WVU has scored so far.

 

[brahma62]

really liking WV uniforms, not a bad game either

 

[Megatron]

1/2 hour until the real games begin.

Long TD pass by WVU to take a 14 point lead early in 3rd.

 

[brahma62]

Im still confused as to how the big east gets an automatic bcs bid. Now if it was as strong as it was i think in 2007, then thats fine.

 

[Megatron]

Meh, conferences have down years. This year they just seem ridiculously bad. People weren't complaining last year when Cincinnati went 12-0 and was #3 in the country. It's all a cycle.

 

[Megatron]

I'd be quite frustrated if I was Dave Wanstedt. One play this Pitt team looks great, and the next they look like what they are: an average Big East team.

 

[brahma62]

Yea i guess your right. And wasn't Pitt rated like 16 at the beginning of the year? WTF happened

 

[Megatron]

And that's game.

Yes, even with a quarter left. Pitt isn't coming back from a 3 possession deficit.

 

[Megatron]

Now it's time for Big Game #1, with the team most likely to be upset going up against their hated rival, who has an outside shot at a BCS berth (should LSU lose to Arkansas tommorow).

Yes, it's Iron Bowl time.

 

[Megatron]

Bama marches right down the field and gets their first TD in the first quarter on Auburn since 1996. Surprising.

Now let's see how Cam Newton responds.

 

[Megatron]

Alabama has come out to play. Auburn better stop them on this drive if they don't wanna be put in a hole early.

[Slyfox696]

I'm rooting so hard for Alabama, and it surprises me to say that.

 

[Slyfox696]

Another TD for Bama...great.

 

[Megatron]

Superman Version 2 better make a statement this drive.

 

[brahma62]

Alabama's defense looking pretty good so far

 

[Megatron]

Auburn's having a whopping Net yardage so far on these 2 drives...

 

[Slyfox696]

That is an absolutely horrendous penalty. There was NO way that should be considered a celebration penalty. Good god, he's a kid, excited about a big play he just made.

 

[Megatron]

Unnecessary penalty call there.

 

[brahma62]

The NCAA celebration rules are ridiculous

And Bama is making this look easy.

 

[Slyfox696]

It's a shame when the officials are the reason a team gets to score, especially a touchdown. Auburn clearly earned the "D" stop, and the referees stole it from them.

I want Alabama to win, but not like that.

 

[Megatron]

This is turning embarrassing for Auburn. Lets make this a game, plz.

Anyone think the SEC will still get a team in the NCG even if Auburn loses only once and Oregon, Boise, + TCU go undefeated?

 

[brahma62]

It would be a travesty if a one loss team got in over a Boise St. or TCU

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Auburn should have stopped them on fourth down after the celebration penalty.

It's a long way from being over but if Auburn loses and then beats South Carolina, do you think they will still be in the top 2?
