QUOTE (Boogua @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) Meyer won't suspend Wilson or Hall. It's too bad they aren't playing buffalo or sdsu. Meyer could have shown how much of a disciplinarian he has become.

Bad loss.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) Mel Tucker better have rented and not bought property in Chicago. You sure it's not the personnel?

The ref just fived Patterson. Wow.

Coaches poll hurts NIU. Surprise.

Steltz just showed a better defensive technique than Conte.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 10:11 AM) I never understood the whole root for your conference thing. You hate a team for 364 days a year then suddenly are supposed to root for them? No thanks. Recruiting improves with conference reputation and media exposure.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 10:29 AM) To be fair, FSU was -21 against a 7th ranked Miami team and covered it...and has done nothing but continue to dominate since then. This is more about FSU than it is about Duke. It's also about Duke. When had a spread been that large for a conference title game?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 10:05 AM) It sucks having someone so fun to watch on a team that is so impossible to root for. Couldn't agree more. I hope they lose but he scores 20

FSU -30 against Duke. worst conference championship game ever?

QUOTE (staxx @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 09:37 AM) Missouri vs Auburn is going to be one exciting game. I expect to see Mizzou put up a ton of points, it's all about whether they can stop Auburns rushing attack.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 09:25 AM) As a fan of a Big Ten school, I say go SEC, anybody but the Buckeyes. Lol. Awesome.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 09:15 AM) Sorry, with my experience with osu fans through the years, I'll basically never pull for osu. Plus urban Meyer. Meanwhile over the years SEC fans have had only pleasant experiences with Bama fans and they love and respect Nick Saban.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 08:08 AM) There is zero chance that anybody jumps FSU or OSU. The SEC coaches will pull their usual BS and vote OSU down around 5th-7th like they did to ND last year, but it won't be enough. There is also zero chance that Alabama ends up ahead of the SEC champion, so Alabama needs both FSU and OSU to lose, and I don't see any way FSU loses. Translation. It's American to get beaten like a drum by LSU.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 09:09 AM) They wouldn't have to be 10th. Edwards said there is a chance auburn could be 1 in the computers. Then it comes down to voters. Is it likely? Probably not. But it's far from impossible, which is what you were implying simply due to the bcs formula. I just hope you are warming up your Big Ten chant to counter the folks down south pulling for their conference.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 10:30 PM) Link that explains this? 2/3 is voters. Why isn't it possible? Because voters aren't going to put OSU at #10. Do you really think a one loss team jumps an undefeated team after 13 games? Im sure ESPN will talk about it enough for you to see every bit of info you desire. They too want an Sec team in the title game.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) Well damn, congrats Mizzou. go make a mess of Auburn's season next week, please! That embarrassing loss to Tennessee hurts us in all sorts of ways, now. Love that smackdown of Clemson.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) If you wanna crown their ass then crown them. Everyone is so good at predicting wins on paper.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 02:40 PM) That osu defense is terrible, not one that should be in a championship game. Will be interested to see what voters do with auburn if they beat Alabama. Doesn't matter. They can't jump based on BCS math regardless of the voters.

Strangest damn game ever. Still 12-0 though.

Had to restart and lost my game. f***

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Nov 29, 2013 -> 11:56 PM) I never had a major problem with Carmody the coach. The recruiting was terrible though, they went through most of his tenure without having 5 legit Big Ten players on the same roster. Some blame him for that more than the lack of facilities/history (I personally went about 25/75). They also had terrible injury luck when they actually did have the talent. The keep getting slightly more talented and this next class seems like the best one NU has had. They're still winning like 3 Big Ten games though, especially if they have injury issues (Crawford is already hurt). It just seems like the perfect place for that scheme. You aren't going to pull the street ballers from Chicago but you can target the upscale shooters from the area who value an education and pull the random top recruit once in awhile. I don't know. I just don't like them trying to match up toe to toe with other teams. Nw players arent going to play ISO The problem is their recruiting system is poor. They need an overhaul for all sports. Push academics.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 02:21 PM) I don't know if any of you have ever had the displeasure of driving back and forth between Indianapolis and South Bend, but today a newly-built US 31 bypass of Kokomo opened, reducing the US 31 stoplight count by 15. My trip to visit family for Thanksgiving just got about 15 minutes shorter! I've driven route 65 for years until I almost died a couple back in a head on collision. Never again. Now I fly to Ohio.
