Week 12's Prime Time offerings were pretty meh

 

Looking ahead to next week:
Oklahoma @ West Virginia (Friday @8PM on ESPN) has implications for the Big12 title game.  A West Virginia win could knock Oklahoma out of the Playoff hunt
Washington @ Washington St (Friday @8:30 on Fox), Washington St is the PAC12's only longshot hope at the CFP
Notre Dame @ USC (Saturday @8PM on ABC), Notre Dame punches their ticket to CFP with a win but USC would love to play spoiler

 

The Game (Saturday @Noon on Fox) dominates the schedule with the winner claiming the B1G East and will be heavy favorites to win the B1G title, and have the inside track at a CFP berth

 

With one week left in the regular season, my guess at the final four will be

1 Alabama
2 Clemson
3 Notre Dame
4 Winner of The Game

Michigan constantly in the red zone but settling for a lot of Field Goals.

 

Eventually they pulled away from Indiana.

 

They have what it takes to beat Ohio State, but they might be without Chase Winovich.

Buckeyes starting  LT is hurt too - doubt he plays plus a few other starters who will be questionable including Mike Weber

They are a thing of beauty! That’s all I need to know...and they can sing me a song anytime!

We are bound for a stupid upset in a conference championship game, like the Big Ten

 

way overdue

The play calling in the red zone was really bizarre and uninspired somewhat atypical....meh...at least we found a consistent kicker!

A Georgia upset of Alabama would put two SEC teams in the Playoffs again

A Bills fan should be used to a diet largely restricted to FG’s. Nothing new there..... except that we don’t get “a lot” of them. In fact, they are somewhat rare, so rather than disparage them, I am more into mild celebration.

Big Ten upset more likely

 

 

 

Any time the bozos in the media overhype something it is doomed to go the opposite way

What if Alabama loses to Auburn?

Then they would have to defeat Georgia. They might have to under any conditions.

So you don't think Pitt will beat Clemson?

I will much enjoy that happening 

 

not betting on a major upset in either game

One loss Bama goes to the playoff

 

 

 

These clowns want to give tOSU a better ranking than behind two loss LSU?

 

buckeyes have a legit shot of winning over ttun at home

Go Eers !!!

Last game of the regular season.  How does the season go by so fast?

 

Anyways:

Friday 3:30 / whenever I get off work: Virginia @ Virginia Tech, ABC

Friday 8:00: Oklahoma @ West Virginia, ESPN.  Big12 playoff implications on the line.  Winner likely plays Texas next week, unless Texas fails against Kansas at which point these two would meet again next week

Friday 8:30: Washington @ Washington St, Fox.  Winner takes the PAC12 North.  Washington St is the PAC12's only longshot for a CFP berth

 

Saturday Noon: Michigan @ Ohio St, Fox.  The Game, 'nuff said.  Winner takes the B1G East and high probability of a CFP berth

Saturday 3:30: Maryland @ Penn St, ABC

Saturday 3:30: Auburn @ Alabama, CBS.  The Iron Bowl doesn't mean as much this season and will probably be just another Alabama blowout.  A convincing win by the Crimson Tide likely punches their CFP ticket, regardless of the outcome of the SEC title game.  A Georgia upset next week puts two SEC teams in again

Saturday 7:00 LSU @ Texas A&M, SEC Network/ESPN: Only three Saturday games feature a match of top 25 teams

Saturday 8:00 Notre Dame @ USC, ABC:  Notre Dame punches their CFP ticket with a win

Saturday 10:15 Utah St @ Boise St, ESPN.  Only the third matchup of ranked teams this Saturday

 

[row_33]

Three games that really matter outside of personal interest

 

noon at Columbus 

 

3:30 War Eagle

 

prime time NDs last hurdle, they’ve tripped on it a few times in my lifetime

Loving this Iowa Nebraska game!! Seeing the I-formation and tough running and hard tackling, it's what football is supposed to be, thank God for the BIG 10 !!

 

These TEs look good . Hockenson and Fant remind of Gronk and Hernandez. Nebraska's Stoll is productive as well.

 

 

[Augie]

Ummmm, either I saw that wrong, or UCF just lost their QB. It was truly gruesome, and I’m hoping it’s NOT what it looked like! YIKES! 

 

To ESPN’s credit, I don’t believe they showed a replay of that. I usually bash them, but seeing it live was bad enough.
