A Saturday To Forget For Some People

USC plays Wisconsin in two weeks. The Badgers were blown out by Alabama, 42-10, in Madison.

Tackett “Captain America” Curtis had a team-high five tackles for the Badgers.

  • Some shocking coaching/discipline by Jedd the Fisch in Washington’s 24-19 loss to Washington State in the Apple Cup.

He ran a horrible QB run option that got buried at the 3-yard line on his team’s final possession. It was just as bad as the option play he ran in OT against USC that got buried (and he didn’t even know the OT rules, of course).

Washington State then wanted to just run the ball from 3-yard line to wind down the final minute off the clock. But Washington had two straight offsides penalties, which allowed the Cougars to run out the clock without even using all four downs.

  • Speaking of the Fisch, the bubble has officially burst at Arizona, which was routed by Kansas State on Friday night. Even worse for Wildcat fans, ASU is 3-0.

  1. Scott, I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but look at the calendar schedule for October 12….What an epic day of college football games that will be. Hopefully, SC can be 5-0 for their showdown at the Coliseum versus Penn State. However, we need to win one game at a time, starting in Ann Arbor next Saturday, of course.

  2. Not as much fun posting here with this Censor now in place, but I’ll try again–

    You think Georgia loses its beforehand firm grip on No. 1?– The ‘Dawgs’ as they call themselves did pull out the game so they won’t fall far, but No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Ohio St and No. 3 Georgia sounds about right

    1. Regarding ratings, I definitely hear you and agree with your ranking. GA didn’t look so good, but it takes a lot to knock the #1 out, provided that they win, even if it is an ugly win. So for better or worse, I expect it will remain GA, OSU, TX, but OSU may get more #1 votes, and TX might get a handful.

      1. Do rankings even matter now ?

        Win your conference and hope for the best in the championship game. If you’re undefeated and lose the conference championship game you’ll probably make the playoffs.

        Georgia gets Bama next then Texas and Mississippi down the road, lose those three and they’re probably out of the playoffs.

        USC can run the table and will probably play OSU in the championship game, even if they lose they’ll probably make the playoffs.

    1. I tried to pose about the upcoming game, but it was sent to the basement. Scottie, for Christ’s sake, upgrade your software.

  3. I like ‘thinking’ football, and the buildup to a game is sometimes better than the game itself, and so we have SC at Michigan with the Wolverines owning a 1-6 record since 1970, so probably there’ll be a little ‘revenge’ motivation to this game

  4. Alabama polishing off Wisconsin took the bloom off the upcoming SC-Badgers game; and with Georgia appearing vincible there’s hope for everybody else

  5. And so the race to the ‘Final-12’ is well on into its 3rd week, but winning that College National Championship is another story. Even the Top-4 finishers have to win 3 games against Top-12 teams, so schools winning multiple Titles as in the past aka Alabama, is a thing of the past

      2. I don’t think any of us really appreciated what it would mean to have Aundrey Walker at Left Tackle and Cyrus Hobbi at center — Matt was so disgusted after the Stanford game he refused to answer questions…
