Someone needs to repost that SEC scenario thing from last week that has a 3 loss Georgia winning the SEC.

Missouri loses two of their last three against A&M, Arkansas, and TN. Georgia loses to Auburn in a few weeks but then wins the conference championship over a 1-loss Mississippi St. team.

If that happens, it would be likely that every team has at least two losses in the SEC with their champion with three.

Holy hell did OSU look scary good tonight. They just destroyed a high quality team on the road. We will definitely have our hands full next week.

Actually I think that may play to our hand. Urban Meyer is a arrogant bastard who has yet to play MN. He and his players won't believe the film, will have a week of fans talking about the final four and they will be surprised by the team they find. I predict we shock them...
 



Alabama busts out the old Ben Lauer play the first play of overtime.
 

Bama returns the favor with a personal foul at first and goal.
 

How much stupidity can you have in 10 minutes? Another personal foul? Now I hope LSU wins again. I'm going back and forth!
 




How about the highlight of the Utah game where some guy from Utah scores a td to go up 14-0 but drops the ball before the end zone and Oregon returns it 99 yards? Oregon doesn't need 14 point favors from anyone.
 


Bama with the first 14 play drive in OT history...
 

LSU choked so bad. They deserved to lose that. Unbelievable.
 




Not looking forward to tOSU will likely beat us, hoping for a letdown game
 

The two QBs in the Alabama-LSU game combined to go 28-72 for 285 yards. That's a 39% completion percentage and 3.9 yards per attempt.

But, they were both playing defenses the caliber of which are eclipsed only by the 2013 Seahawks and 1985 Bears combined, being in the SEC and all

Utah about to go up 14-0.....Ute dude drops ball a foot before he goes into the end zone after 79 yard run...he celebrates....Oregon dude picks it up and goes back 99 yards the other way. 7-7. Wow!

Edit: was going to be a 79 yard pass reception.

I don't know the rule, or if it's different for a defensive player, but the first Oregon guy to touch the ball after the drop ran through the endzone, out of bounds, returned and picked up the ball. Isn't that illegal touching, or whatever the rule is called?

I wondered the same thing
 

Assuming Oregon holds on to beat Utah, what does the top 10 look like next week? My thinking:

1. Mississippi St.
2. Florida St.
3. Oregon
4. Alabama
5. TCU
6. Arizona St.
7. Baylor
8. Ohio St.
9. Auburn
10. Ole Miss

TCU should be ahead of Alabama but I don't think they will be.

Fixed that. LSU choke puts a slight damper on chaos but there is so much parity in the SEC this year anything can and probably will happen.

I saw that as well. The illegal touching rule is on pass catching. I think fumbles work like basketball. If you re-establish yourself in bounds, then you can pick up the ball and run.
 

I didn't have a chance to post on Michigan/NW after that game finished, but it's kind of appropriate that comedy-of-errors ended with Siemian tripping over his own feet on an attempted two-point conversion.

But Hoke has to be done at Michigan, doesn't he?

PS--LSU had to think it is first-and-goal from the get-go in overtime. That's about the only way I can explain that series of play calls. One of the most bizarre OTs I've seen.

It's also interesting that there are three 5 win teams in the East and all have a pretty decent chance to become bowl eligible. Penn State can beat Temple, Michigan can beat Maryland (maybe), and Rutgers can beat Indiana.

Illinois could also beat Northwestern and Penn State to get to 6 wins too.

There is a chance that the Big 10 gets 10 bowl teams if Michigan can beat Maryland and an outside chance that they get 11 with Illinois.

Thanks for the info. I haven't followed the East that closely.

I just don't know how Hoke is going to explain to folks the reasons for Michigan's free fall. I don't get into the "stars v. 'coach 'em up'" debate too often because it's a lot more complicated that the poles of that argument present it, but there's something wrong in Ann Arbor. Outside of some decent players on defense, the team looks frightfully unorganized and lost out there. That has to fall on the coaching staff at some level.
