Anyone else see the ND

Anyone else see the ND defensive lineman punch the Pitt player right in the head on 3rd down before the missed field goal? Three refs were right there and didn't make the call.

Probably had something to do with the fact that it would have given Pitt a first down on the 10 yard line and essentially ended ND's undefeated season. 

No one is winning @ND this season. Only Alabama and Oregon could overcome the refs there.

Not that it will matter. Even with a loss, Bama will go to the title game just like last year.

Unless the Ducks lose they will jump ND tomorrow.  They will get a boost in the computers from playing SC and pitt will dent ND computer ranking. The human poles in my opinion will significantly widen the gap between the other 3 unbeatens and ND tomorrow.  triple overtime against a team that lost to youngstown state, a bad division 2 team

Blocked Extra Point...

USC blocks the extra point to keep their deficit to a manageable (assuming Oregon finds a way to not be Oregon for a few drives) 16 points in the 2nd quarter. Barkley had his, "Well, I suppose that's something..." look on the sideline when they had the camera aimed at him...

Oregon looks unreal.  Even after a huge negative play, they don't even seem to mind.  They're absolutely certain they'll pick up 20 the next play and it won't even matter.  And they do.

34-17 Oregon Now...

It took some doing, but USC managed to cut the lead to 27-17 thanks to some good reads from Barkley. That being said, Marcus Mariota just set up Oregon inside the USC 15, and the Ducks scored on the next play. I assume Monte Kiffin is in the booth trying to devise some play wherein the Oregon offense is abducted by aliens on and end around at this point.

He'd be well advised to go for two every time

So he'd be sure of picking up a point on each exchange of possessions.

Slight Revision To Strategy...

USC is driving again, and it seems clear that Kiffin is just going to try to soften up Oregon with some good "f*ck you" run plays meant to gut the middle of the Ducks' defense, if you will, and Oregon has politely obliged. USC is about 10 yards from making this a 34-31 game.

How come no one talks about how awful monte kiffin calls a game against spread teams. I mean it's literally like he refuses to adapt, play nickel and dime every down. Alignments are off quite a bit too. Just curious. Lane might actually have something if he could get a competent d- coordinator.

They had two receivers with only DB within ten yards of them. Easy throw outside and it's a guaranteed 1st down. Michigan could take notes on that.

41-31 Oregon...

After the Oregon  TD, USC returns the kick to the Ducks' 16-yard line. There are now over 1,000 yards of offense in this game between two teams. Actually, you would never know that you were looking at the 4th and 6th best teams in total defense in the Pac-12. No, looking at the stats, you  would guess they were both middling...

USC now inside the 5, going to what is more or less their jumbo set on offense for a TD, and they succeed. 41-38 if the PAT is good.

48-38 Oregon...

This is getting patently ridiculous...

USC completely botches pass coverage and gives up another big  play for a Ducks TD. 

Barkley looks upset on the sideline, and I suppose I don't blame him - you're asking this guy to keep the Trojans within a FG of tying, not in the lead. Enviable position, to be sure.

I will say watching the Oregon and KSU games is like watching a college game, but Bama/LSU looks like a Sunday game.

Spurrier thought they could beat an NFL team or two. Then he was chastised all weekend, as he should be. Bama is a hell of a team, but after five minutes of a pro game, if you can't tell a difference in the speed, the hits and the intensity then you aren't paying much attention.

Oregon

If Oregon can put up 55 points on USC, I am very curious to see what they'd do against Bama.  That would be the ultimate speed/uptempo versus power/run it down your throat game.  Not that I like either team, it would be nice to see K-state in the championship game, but Oregon/Bama would probably be the best game.  I haven't really watched Oregon much and am surprised by how physical they are on defense and surprised how big their corners are and how tall their DEs are.  I guess I always assumed they were smaller, but they aren't.

Oregon would get crushed.

LSU took Oregon apart two years ago. I see no reason why Bama wouldn't do the same. Their defense is horrendous and Saban would find a way to stifle Oregon's offense. Too much speed AND size for Bama.

Really

First off, that was last year, not two years ago.  Secondly, what does LSU/Oregon of last year have to do with Alabama of this year?  Oregon is a much better team defensively this year and way more physical from what I've seen.  They have two CBs over 6'0".  Their D-line is really tall.  And, their secondary hits hard.  USC has just as many guys that will play on Sunday as Alabama does and Oregon is having no trouble whatsoever scoring TDs on every possession.

Kansas St vs Notre Dame vs Oregon

If they all run the table....scoreboard watching is going to be at all-time high. Previous opponents, especially common oponents records are going to be very important when it comes to the computers! Oregon will stay #2 behind Bama in both human polls and they play 3 ranked teams in the final 4 plus a re-match with a ranked USC in the Pac-12 championship game so not sure how they would not be ranked #2 in the computers as well.

Should be fun....also please Penn State....can you show up and beat Nebraska next week?

NDs best wins would be over

NDs best wins would be over Oklahoma (who K St also beat on the road) and USC (who Oregon just creamed on the road and would have beaten again in the Rose Bowl). Also, USC would be a 5 loss team. What do they have after that? OT win over Stanford with some questionable officiating at the end (Oregon would have also beaten them)? Michigan at home by one score when we practically handed it to them? BYU?? As tough as their schedule looked to start the year, if Oregon wins out ND won't have a win over a team in the top 15 most likely. Decent wins over Oklahoma, USC, and Stanford would be matched by the other two.

Personally, I think Kansas St. deserves the nod but would guess Oregon would get it due to playing 4 ranked teams in their last 5 games. Then Bama eats the lucky team.

I always feel bad when Bama

I always feel bad when Bama players make mistakes. I picture Saban sending them to the medical hardship scholarship office right after the game.

If Bama loses than I think

If Bama loses than I think the SEC is unseated as national champs with 3 undefeateds still left.

no way

The polls will find a way to put the SEC champ(presumably LSU in this scenario) in the MNC game. Book it. KSU and Oregon would get shutout. We'll see if it comes to that, but if it does, there is no stopping LSU getting in.

edit: if Georgia somehow wins, they will not get in.

I would think it would be K-State and Oregon, given how the teams are playing right now.  ND might be SOL, which would be delightful.

This would improve their chances, but...

I have already pretty much accepted that if ND goes undefeated they are in. The only mildly plausible scenario where they wouldn't is if 'Bama and Oregon go undefeated, but still... they have the edge over the Ducks in the computer polls and I'm really convinced that the humans will boost them to at least number 3 in the human polls by the end of the year... meaning they'd pretty much be in...

I'm a little confused by this. I didn't think LSU was that great this year, but maybe they are? Or maybe it really is that hard to play at night in Death Valley? Or is it just that Bama is having their first mediocre game of the season? A couple bad turnovers have really killed them. I can't see them winning this game at all.

ND will lose to USC and it increases the chance Oregon goes to the NC game and the Rose Bowl opponent is easier and last of all it could unseat the SEC with no teams being undefeated.

Well, that was if LSU didn't stumble.

Because Bama could still lose the SEC title game if LSU gets a 2nd conference loss. But the Tigers schedule isn't that tough either.

So does a loss here knock Bama out of the MNC game? It would most likely send LSU to the SEC championship game and I can't see them sending Bama to the title game two years in a row when they don't win their own division. And is there anyway a 1 loss LSU team gets in over 3 undefeated teams? Wow, this would screw a lot up.

I think until everyone in the SEC has at least 2 losses, there will always be a case for an SEC team to make the title game. Personally, I'd love to see a KSU Oregon matchup, but the SEC can still play the strength of schedule card.

I think Bama is done. This game could be the end of the SEC championship run. My biggest fear is that it puts ND in the title game. They have the easiest path to the end by far and you know the humans will want them in. I also could see Oregon stumbling in the Civil War. And in a one game playoff I don't trust any team over the huge horseshoe that ND is carrying.

USC looks decidedly mediocre this year. Lost to a meh Stanford team. Embarrassed themselves at home against Oregon. Lost to Zona. Do they have a quality win this year?

Edit: Best USC win: over 5-4 Washington. Also their only win over a team with a winning record (unless Syracuse has one, but Big East). They still play ASU and UCLA and don't play OSU (NTOSU).

Not a good night.  although what Oregon did to USC I don't see anyone on their remaining schedule who has a shot at beating them.  Other then at TCU I can't see K-State being tested. Though Klein left the game, he was laughing on the sideline so I'd guess he'll be fine.

No defense as per the usual: 4 TDs in 4* possessions

While the Zona D did force a punt, they turned around and fumbled the return which UCLA eventually turned into a TD.  So maybe call it 4.5 possessions?

Either way, no defense.

It would be pretty darn funny if Bama marches right down the field here.

Im actually pulling for Bama. I think they are the best team in the country by far and would dominate anyone on a neutral field. They have their hands full tonight, but some crappy NFL teams may have some trouble in Death Valley at night.

well, its because we hadn't recruited well at tight end, fullback, and offensive line in many years.  the A-train lines were huge, and were stocked with NFLers.  Even the tight ends and fullbacks played in the NFL (Tuman, Campbell, Seymour, Askew, Shea, Joppru).  Without those guys, screens dont work.

Also, your QB needs to throw screens accurately on a consistent basis.  When we do manage to throw one on target to Smith, he usually makes something good happen.

Agreed, but Bama changed

Agreed, but Bama changed their offense on that drive as well. They went up-tempo, spread it out a little more and passed the ball on every down. 

LSU was pretty passive though I'll give you that.

Like Roy Roundtree did against Illinois in 2009?

The chances of giving up a TD drive w/ 50 seconds left are significantly less than the chances of not scoring a TD from the 1.  It just takes a holding penalty, fumbled snap (remeber Henne vs ND in 2005?) and that plan is toast.

Is Alabama. And them not making it and getting the hype, and recruiting help, benefits us.

And losing badly to Bama doesn't look as bad when they end up the best team in the country.

Oh, and to hell with Notre Dame.

I can't speak for everyone, but because we played Bama and got smoked I want to see it happen to other teams. I want to see how they do against over top competition.

I also want to see an Oregon vs Bama MNC game because of the wide difference in philospohy. Oregon is an offensive juggernaut who rarely ever gets stopped and Alabama is a mini NFL team that strangles the opposing offense to death. I think its an intriguing matchup.

I've lived most of my life in

I've lived most of my life in and around South Bend. I hate ND. I hate ND so much more than OSU or MSU. A lot of ND fans are essentially Lou Holtz.: they think ND is the best team in the nation every year. This is the same fan base that claimed they should be in the national championship game at 10-2 because they almost beat USC. I don't ever want ND having a shot at the title. Ever. Anything can happen in one game and ND is the luckiest team in sports. In 2006 I rooted for USC to curbstomp ND and I would do it every time. I thoroughly enjoyed the OSU beatdown of ND in that bowl game. 

The short version: To hell with Notre Dame.

It is more fun to see the South win than to see ND win. And honestly I think Bama takes any of the three undefeated teams behind the woodshed. Death Valley night games are pretty much the hardest games to win in college football and Bama just became only the second team to ever beat Les in such a game (the other was also to a #1 team). 

As much as I hate this SEC crap, Bama is easily the best team in the country. I don't think ND belongs in the top 5. And mostly, I expect Oregon to slip up at the end and K St could be missing their QB depending on what his injury was. 

And come on, wouldn't it be fun to watch Oregon and Bama play just to see how that defense would stop the best offense in the nation?

For the last time, even if ND got there, they would be torn apart by either Bama, Kansas State, or Oregon. Why do you want to see one team dominate and the rest lag behind? Someone has to be the one to de-throne bama. We couldn't do it, but LSU had the best chance possible and shit the bed worse than sparty. Hell, they DID dethrone bama last year but the media bias kept them in it.

Can't see where Oregon is going to slip up now. They get Stanford at home a week after the Cardinal play Org St.  Can't see Org St being able to stop them either.  That would leave the Pac12 title game that will be played likely against USC at Oregon.

You think Bama will destroy Oregon, but Oregon will for sure destroy Notre Dame? And what about Kansas State? Are you confident they'd destroy Notre Dame too? Maybe the Big 12 just sucks.

And what if they both lose?

Well, Alabama just rolled out its own red carpet to the national championship.



Outside of maybe Oregon, there's not a team in this country that can stop them. Knowing Saban, though, I imagine he'll be able to craft a masterful game plan that will limit Oregon to under 200 total yards.

I'd assume Oregon would be held under 25 points and Bama would score around 30, but I really do not have any clue. Oregons offense is just so tricky and fast and that would be the key to the game.

SDSU is leading Boise in the fourth quarter, 21-13.  I'd like to see Hoke's old team win the league - they're currently a half-game behind Boise.
