    Mariota still hasn't thrown a pick this year. 19 passing TDs and 9 rushing TDs.

    WSUs Conor Halliday had 89 attempts last night for 550+ yards. Still lost though ;)

    All hail the Notre Dame defence!!

    Ugly game but Go Irish!

    Golson was just a massive loss. Having him in would have given us a shout of a BCS Bowl and would have importantly helped continue his development. As it is, I'm happy with how the season is progressing all things considered. The next two games should be winnable which would put us at 7 - 2 going into Pittsburgh. That wouldn't be a dreadful place to be.

    Oregon drop to No. 3 in the the first BCS Rankings released. Just .003 between themselves and Florida State though.

    Some great games coming up in the next few weeks with Oregon's next two games being against UCLA and Stanford and Florida State playing Miami in 2 weeks time.

    Rooting for Missouri though, but their schedule is so tough between now and the end of the season. Will probably drop at least two.

    Think with Oregons schedule if they win out they will be in the championship game. Really really want Oregon v Bama championship game

    I thought at first Auburn had to travel to Tusacloosa for the Iron Bowl but it's at Jordan-Hare. I'd pay anything to be there if both Bama and Auburn win out 'till then.

    Colt Lyerla continuing his descent from a possible 1st round draft pick to now most likely being an UDFA.

    Hope someone gets hold of him before he throws away his life

    Unbelieveable. He missed a game for "circumstances", and lost his sh!t that Helfrich didn't refer to it as an "injury". Then was subsequently suspended for a violation of team rules. Then promptly quit school.

    If I were a betting man I'd say the kid has developed a raging drug addiction. But who knows. He's finished anyway, I'd say. Shame, because he was talented, albeit not heavily utilised by Oregon. We could miss him in the trenches when the big games come around.

    The good news for the weekend is that BT Sport and ESPN are free for the weekend :D

    So the games live on ESPN that all can watch are:

    College Gameday @ 4pm
    Nebraska @ Minnesota @ 5pm
    Tennessee @ Alabama @ 8:30pm
    UCLA @ Oregon @ Midnight

    Quality of the ESPN player stream will depend on the quality of your broadband. I have taken out month-long subscriptions over the past few years and have been generally happy with it. There's a big selection of games if you're into college football.

    However, last month for some reason there was one Saturday when it was down for most of the evening and when it came back up they didn't show the big night time game. Hopefully this was just a once off.

    right guys as you know I always do a selection of picks to summarise tonight my main too picks are Buffalo -2 who are on a great run, I also feel Missouri -3 is too low have done both to win by least touchdown also.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    Bama just rolling over the Vols. Good sign for Auburn's trip to Tennessee in a couple weeks' time, certainly winnable.

    LSU next is the only serious challenge for the Tide ahead of the Iron Bowl and with them having to travel to Tuscaloosa it'd be a significant upset if LSU won that one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    Bama turn the ball over on the Vols' 1 and the Vols march up most of the field only for Bama to score a pick-six from about 80 yards out. 0-35, pretty much HT.


  • Registered Users Posts: 924 ✭✭✭Emperor1989


    Gotta hand it to Bama they are really starting to roll now.

    Such dominance!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ


    I know Bama are an excellent team but AJ McCarron is one hell of a QB


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    Bruins giving Oregon a real going over so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭manafana


    missouri is pulling ahead im getting faith in the double coming out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    Oregon on ESPN for the first time in a while from what I can remember, haven't seen them play since they bet Virginia a long time back - happy days :cool:

    on espn over here too in english, coming to life now the ducks


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    All the potential upsets in the late games have fallen through apart from SC at Mizzou who are only trailing by a TD.

    Found the English stream afterwards so wasn't too bad. Ducks made easy work of it in the end so with Ohio State making easy work of Penn State not looking like we're going to see any changes to the top 4 rankings for the BCS come Monday.

    Time to flick on Stanford Oregon State now until I pass out now - damn clocks going back has my body really confused at to what time it really is :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭Syferus


    SC beat Mizzou after double OT.

    Still Mizzou's division to lose but if SC can beat them then there's big questions about whether they could hang with Bama, or indeed Auburn if they were to win the Iron Bowl.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,287 ✭✭✭davyjose


    Oregon might jump FSU after beating a ranked opponent. I'm not sure they shoulldnt be there anyway. Its obviois to a blind man that Bama and Oregon are the two best teams in the country.

    Disagree. Anyway I was right. Oregon passed FSU on the strength of this week's schedule.

    I'll go by Mariota's 29 all-purpose TD's and 0 picks.
