Doesn't lose to Georgia or Florida in the SEC title game.
...says Denzel Valentine of Big Ten Tourney favorite MSU, which is 5-7 in its last 12 games. Cumong, man.

USC looks decidedly mediocre
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).

But is it possible to have a rematch against bama in a bowl game if they lose?

No way. They're sending 2 to
No way. They're sending 2 to the BCS, and as long as LSU wins the SECCG, Bama would get a BCS at-large.
If Georgia or an SEC East team wins though....well we really should go to the Rose Bowl

Even with the SEC love-fest,
Even with the SEC love-fest, I don't think the voters/BCS could justify jumping a 1-loss SEC team over an undefeated non-Big East team. If two of Kansas State, Oregon, and Notre Dame finish undefeated and 'Bama falls tonight or later in the season, the SEC champ will be left out of the title game.

This went from being back in the drivers seat for the big ten title game and notre dame being out of national title picture at 7 PM to our chances being blown and ND being an Oregon or Kstate loss away from making it.

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.

The false start rule needs examined. It cost Michigan a possible defensive touchdown today, it hurt us last week, and it just most likely cost Bama the game.

I've never really understood
I've never really understood the rational for blowing it dead, unlike every other penalty where the play is allowed to continue so the other team can decide to decline or not.

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.

God, I want a screen game like that. I miss the days when we could just slip out the A-Train and pick up an easy 10-20 yards.
November 3rd, 2012 at 11:48 PM
#189
well, its because we hadn't
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.

I'd rather they not get a "15th" national championship and 7th SEC championship in a row. Who cares what they did to us? No one will take that into consideration when we're selected for a bowl.
November 3rd, 2012 at 11:49 PM
#201
Because the team most likely to blow them out
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.
