Please win out, Michigan. Please.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:27 PM ^
Would be great if Michigan can win out but even then I doubt they make the playoffs. Unless there are a few upsets I figure Alabama gets one spot, Clemson another, then likely Baylor/OSU and ND or Stanford get the last 2. And I wouldn't even be upset about getting left out, it would be an incredibly successful season and show real promise for the future when the team has a good to great QB.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:31 PM ^
Making the playoff is not a concern of mine. Would it be nice? Hell yes, but winning the Big Ten is the number one goal this season. I'd be extremely happy with a win over OSU in year one of Jim and a slot in the conference title game. I think we'd lose in the playoff anyway. We cannot beat Alabama. Clemson...eh - maybe. The other team would likely be Notre Dame if we win out and they do, too. We can beat them. Alabama is winning the title this year, though.

Yeah but I care more about beating OSU.

November 8th, 2015 at 12:08 AM ^
I didn't. As soon as OSU was announced as the four-seed, I knew they'd win. Also, Alabama has a much better team this year compared to last year, especially on defense.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:21 PM ^
to realign. Fuck Sparty.
Life is good.

LSU was always going to be vulnerable to Bama.
November 8th, 2015 at 12:00 AM ^
The only way to beat them is how OSU did them in the playoff last year or how Ole Miss did them this year or how Auburn has occasionally did them a few times over the past couple of years. Spread them out, then run. If you try to play power football against Alabama, the results will look like Wisconsin in week 1 and LSU tonight.
November 8th, 2015 at 10:39 AM ^
That's why Alabama - Clemson would be a very interesting playoff game.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:21 PM ^
but screw it, Karma is a bitch MSU.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:22 PM ^
against them look better

Bama is going to get all kinds of street cred that they don't already need for this win.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:31 PM ^
Then we can win every game left, I like our chances.
OSU is vulnerable if we play a good game.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:36 PM ^
I hope it was improvement today and not just the fact that Rutgers is bad at football. May not be able to tell until 2 weeks from now at PSU.

Assuming JT stays out of trouble, we're going to have to defend him. We have a much higher chance to beat OSU with Cardale's playing QB. JT makes them a much more dangerous team, unfortunately. I'm not saying we will lose to OSU. I will make that judgment the week of.

November 7th, 2015 at 11:37 PM ^
I can't wait until we run like Alabama. LSU knows it's coming, and there is nothing they can do about it.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:37 PM ^
The announcers suggested that they couldn't review whether the player was forced out or not, just whether he was out in the first place. Of course, the latter was never the issue. Far be it for me to think the announcers know anything. Does anyone know whether it's reviewable? The mere fact that it was reviewed suggests the answer only if you have some confidence that they know what they're doing.

They can't review if he was forced out, I think the review was simply to make sure he had established himself in the field of play before catching the ball.

Sparty gets 10,000 calls in its favor. One call goes against them and we see waterfalls of Spartan tears.

LSU wasn't playing to win the whole 4th quarter. They just didn't want to get their asses kicked. I consistently see better late game clock management from random people playing Madden.

says that the fact that the receiver was touched means that it could not be overturned, and it sounds like he's reporting what he's hearing from people from the Big Ten. Once he's touched, it then becomes a judgment call as to whether he was forced out, and that is not reviewable. (I guess they can review whether he was touched, which obviously he was.) Now, don't get me wrong. It's a terrible call, and Sparty got screwed. I just want to know what is and is not true.

Actually, I think it makes it that much more delicious. But, I just wanted to know the review guidelines and was interested in whether the refs were f'ing up by reviewing in the first place. I'll pile on B1G refs even if I like the outcome. The fact is that what they did past the call was correct.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:49 PM ^
It's kind of like the 2005 M/OSU game. We were winning late in the fourth, OSU was driving. I think it was third down and Anthony "I used sticky stuff on my gloves to catch every ball thrown to me" Gonzalez was supposedly pushed out of bounds, but eventually caught about a 20-30 yard pass for the first down, which is what put OSU in position to win that game. We all bitched that he was out of bounds and hence ineligible, but suddenly everyone was talking about a rule that if a guy is pushed out and almost immediately comes back onto the field, he is still eligible. If not for that shit, we likely would have won that game.

David Harris lunged and just missed Troy Smith's ankles, and then Smith ran around for awhile until the receiver came free. OSU fans called it "the catch."
November 8th, 2015 at 10:44 AM ^
IF LLOYD WOULD NOT HAVE PUNTED ON THE FUCKING OSU 35, THAT PLAY WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED!!!
Sorry, too soon. I thought I was over it by now, but I guess not.

Eh, I would not go that far. UGA is notorious for that. I don't think LSU is as bad.
November 7th, 2015 at 11:53 PM ^
LSU isn't as big of a letdown as Georgia - Miles can still beat Florida, but Saban has his number for sure.
