Week 3 / Bye Week Games Thread

[Heardler]

Unbelievable show of toughness from the Fresno State QB. Marched his team down the field twice to score a TD with a messed up hip. Couldn’t even walk straight.

#13 UCLA on upset alert.

Chip Kelly just on the sideline looking like an idiot

Rough day for the Pac-12

If Oregon loses in conference, which they probably will, the P12 is once again irrelevant in the playoff picture. Perhaps expansion wouldn't be such a bad idea after all elitist a holes.

Is it still Brian Jensen and the guy that's been doing their games for 45 years.

He has a better wig than Karl Ravech, though.

Good gosh almighty Joe Friday.

University of North Texas who pushed SMU for a half last week and
had over 500 yards of offense is down 30-0 at the half to UAB in Denton.

Drove by Apathy Stadium just after kickoff and there were tens of fans there.

It was tough to see University of North Texas go down so much so early.

3-1 Fresno State should be ranked IMHO.

7 point loss @ Oregon
3 point win @ UCLA

At least, they should appear in the PAC-12 standings.

Michigan. Who have they played? They beat a team that lost to Montana. I guess NIU did beat Georgia Tech.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

We all love Alabama as #1 and they did beat Florida...by 2...@ the swamp, but that opening win against Miami sure looks hollow. Miami's only win was a 2 point victory against...checks schedule...App St. They've lost their other two games with an average score of 41-15. Like Texas, Miami is baaaaaaack.

The next 5 games for ND are 50/50 games...

Agree. That Fresno win vs. UCLA was the most predictable upset of the week, especially against the line (+11). UCLA has always seemed like the team most likely to lose when favored by double-digits and to win as a double-digit dog. Fresno always has a chip when playing Pac-12 teams, and they hung with Oregon, which last week proved to be the real deal.

I bet on UAB and a -30.5 spread, so I was really happy.

Little early to be saying that. Depending on how things play out, Oregon could easily absorb a loss and still make the playoffs.

You’re only saying that because Ohio State lost to Va Tech.

Good weekend for the Big 12–old and new.

Nebraska could’ve won yesterday, and I wish they had. OU looks beatable, but Riley teams always seem to get better as the season goes on. We’ll see, but I really want their run to end. WVU’s win over Virginia Tech was great for the league overall.

A couple future Big 12 members look to be in the mix for NY6 bids. Cinci looked potentially overrated, but that’s a good Indiana team and their stadium was unusually packed. Their season can make or break against Notre Dame in a couple weeks. More so, BYU looks pretty good. They play an impressive, basically PAC-12 schedule this year. 3-0 over Arizona, Utah, and Arizona State. They still play USF, Utah State, Boise St, Baylor, Wazzu, UVA, and USC, plus 2 body bag games. Should be a good team to follow this year. Hate UCF lost. Would’ve been nice for them and the league.

OSU continues to do just enough without looking very good. This year’s Boise is okay not great, but it’s a tough place to win on the road. K-State had a surprising showing against a good Nevada team (preseason pick to win the MWC, though Fresno will have something to say about that).

Texas, Iowa State, and Tech did what they were supposed to do against lesser teams. KU looked slightly improved in the first half, then the wheels came off in Lawrence. At least they aren’t as bad as Arizona.

Enough bye weeks. Ready for the Frogs.

Seems like a d*ckish tone deaf thing to post considering the circumstances of their win

Seems like because it is.

Yeah, they really owned them.

Win by 1 pt!
