OT: D1

[Chuck Norris]

Twenty five days is a long time to be off, especially when your opponent played 11 or 12 days ago. Thankfully for Texas Tech their defense is still in peak form.

Once again, they should have picked up 3 points on that 1st drive of the 2nd half. I guess "4 down territory" is now just all the time.

The No. 1 seeds will be blaming the G5's for forcing them to have too much time off. LOL. I can hear it already.

It was one night but Miami looked like the team full of 5-stars, not the Columbus squad.

The rare borderline monsoon has soaked Pasadena. That should help Roll Damn Tide.

I'm with Saban that they've gotta keep the playoffs chugging, NFL be damned. There's no reason they can't be done by New Year's Day.

Another win for the BIG.

The whole schedule would have to be altered.

Personally...there should only be 11 games for the regular season. They can require all conferences to play 9 games leaving 2 OOC games.

Week 12 is Conference Title Weekend and theoretically the first week of the playoffs.

Army/Navy would need to be forced to be played during the regular season weeks and not in December.

They could get the playoffs done by the New Year.

"I like this call", they say. No, the Ducks need to be taking the points in these situations.

Yeah, I like aggressiveness, but even he admitted he left some points off the board in the first half. And going for that fourth down near midfield in the second half when he was up 13 was downright dumb. Lanning's defense bailed him out a couple of times today, but that type of thing might cost him in the future. Meanwhile the first-round bye teams are now 0-6 in the 12-team era. That doesn't bode well for Cignetti, but we'll see how that goes.

I'm waiting for the NFL and major college football to go year-round.

Obviously it won't go 'that' far but just remember ... the longer it lasts ... the more $$$ keeps flowing in.

Side note it is odd to see Pasadena with a cloudy, dark sky.

Getting rid of the byes would help, IMHO.

I live in SoCal and this is normally our rainy season. But for some unknown reason New Year's Day is usually dry. That one day gets spared...usually.

I like what D2 does: with week 0 you now have 12 weeks to play 11 games. Playoff eligibility should be 10 games against FBS schools.

The byes are killing some of these teams.

Curt and the Hoosiers scoffing at the slow starts that plague the top seeds. The guy is a wizard.

[EyeoftheHawk]

Curt in full control against his former employer so far. He has never been flashy and there were times when he was here that I thought the offense was too conservative. That’s why he’s there and I’m watching him on the big stage from my chair. His strategy is to avoid mistakes and negative plays and he relies on efficiency to win the day. They’ve talked about that a bunch on the broadcast. They’re slowly but surely squeezing the life out of the Tide.

Where was this **** from 2010 to 2016?

He was 6-6 vs Slimey Pebble and Mon Valley U?

Do you get the impression that Curt has figured something out about the game of football that nobody else has?
