8 PM ABC Oklahoma state vs. Oklahoma (root for OK State)
8 PM CBSSN Freno State vs. San Diego State ( root for whoever you want)
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
love Okl? Do they factor in score differential?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
They do, and they don't.
That said, a three touchdown loss is probably worth 6-8ish spots to the human polls. That's enough to drop them below Michigan. A close loss doesn't matter
Also, Ok State just scored again. 33-3 Ok State.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
Only 24-3 Okie State about to kick a field goal.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
So the cowboys need to win by, what, like, 180 points to displace Bama?
And yes, this is very good. Hail cowboys!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^
Wisconsin's band should play The Victors during the second half. Will send MSU into a frenzy and cause a bunch of penalties.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:11 PM ^
TD Tigers. Great throw and catch.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
17-10 Clemson
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
the badgers band has shown more fight than their defense.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
I am totally think as you drunk I am. And I blame Sconsin.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:14 PM ^
Tigers. Pretty good game, except Brent Musburger.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:17 PM ^
Hopefully Clemson can hang on or win a close one. Ok State was 5 in the human polls and now is sitting as the only real option other than "Field Goal Fest 2: Where Offense Goes to Die". A bump to 2/3 in both polls and a computer bump from beating a 9 win team while Bama sits at home may just be enough to stop me from hating college football.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
Will Va Tech still go to a BCS bowl if they lose?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
No bowl is picking 10-2 Va Tech (with no real wins) over 10-2 Michigan (with a bajillion fans).
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
I think they definitely could. People seem to be ignoring this though.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
There is also the very real potential for Clemson to jump us and VaTech to stay ahead of us, which would be horrible.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
Clemson losing is better for our bowl scenario, but a big enough beat down on VaTech makes them a less attractive option. So, if Clemson wins, win big please.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:46 PM ^
I don't know. Now we're talking about two 9-3 teams jumping a 10-2 Michigan? Maybe Baylor because the computers love the Big12, but in the ACC as well?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:17 PM ^
Does anyone think this toss is unfair?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
Why do they have Katie throwing into the Dr Pepper 10 can? It's not for women!
But she wins anyway
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
is rigged.
Ed: Nevermind, the girl won.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
I think everyone watching that was thinking the same thing.
<br>
<br>We stand corrected.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
Okie st?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
man the black dude was way too casual throwing...
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
not be able to show his face back home. I think he's juice's cousin.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
Well, the halftime Dr. Pepper passers at least plant their feet when they throw...
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
OU now down 31. This is VERY good for the michigans.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
He just lost his man card. Lost to a girl.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
Wow, Oklahoma State has forced 40 turnovers this season.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
Whoever this woman is doing the play-by-play for the half time contest really loves her job.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
If Wisconsin insists on shitting the bed, they had better do so fully. If we have to watch those half-wits and criminals from EL go to the Rose Bowl, they had better at least win by enough to knock Wisconsin below us in the BCS rankings.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Wish my wife could throw. Could've cut down on these damn school loans. Too bad $100,000 would have covered less than half...
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
Same for mine. Damn Med School
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
Wtf. What school?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:28 PM ^
PharmD from ohio northern.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
35 to 3...if it turn into a 45 + to 20 win would OU actually remain ahead us in the BCS. I know OSU is number 3 but OU has fallen off the cliff.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
Huh? There's no way. Even a moderate loss would drop OU behind us.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
But if a 3 loss Baylor team may jump us with a win over a not so good Texas team why would OU not stay above us losing to the number 3 team? The stupid BCS computers thinks the big 12 conference is great. I don't understand!!!! LSU would destroy OSU. Alabama vs LSU would be a closer game! Tells you what I think about the leftovers of the big 12 conference!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Big Lebowski!!!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
HUGE score for Clemson!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
At this point, I think it's not a question of whether or not Michigan gets a BCS game. It's whether or not Ok State jumps 'Bama and we play in the Fiesta or the Sugar.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:24 PM ^
Would you rather go to Arizona (warm weather) or New Orleans(obvious)?
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
New Orleans is better on its own, but I'll take Stanford in AZ over TCU in NOLA.
Also I can drive to that one, which is nice. Bring on the Farm!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:27 PM ^
Let's get to the Fiesta and play a real Stanford team.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:30 PM ^
Someone else wrote that the Sugar is the only BCS bowl we have yet to win.
If that's the case, I'm pulling for Sugar, baby!
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
Holy shit a TFL
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
smh. A Sparty friend of mine just chewed me out for cheering for Wisconsin to win this game. Apparently, I don't know a thing about football since I am cheering for a team other than my own for an outcome. How other teams play has absolutely no effect on my favorite team or no advantages. Guess they still have a bit to learn about major college football.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
I think my four year old daughter could tackle better than Wisconsin has so far.
December 3rd, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
Two offensive plays in a row I saw Oklahoma ballcarriers lower their helmets and ram them into the helmet of an Okie State defender. Does the NCAA not give a crap about helmet-to-helmet hits?
