thank you nebraska and your stonewalling

[NewYorkExpress]

Could Nebraska actually make the Big Ten Title Game?

They just beat Rutgers 14-13 and moved to 2-1 in the Big Ten (wins against Indiana and Rutgers, loss to Northwestern), and have a somewhat favorable schedule remaining (they don't face Ohio State or Penn State and get Wisconsin at home, with the only obvious loss that I can see being the road game against Michigan on November 12, and possibly the home game against Minnesota the previous week). 7-3 or 8-2 in Conference, or even 6-4 if they lose one of @Iowa/vs. Wisconsin, should be enough to make the Big Ten Title game this year the way the rest of the Big Ten West is playing.

What an amazing comeback by Houston.

Houston stealing one from Memphis tonight!

Hard to overstate how absurd this game is.

Inexplicable decision by LSU to go for it on 4th down there.

This gutsy take is amazing. Give him some love!

Even with Dillon Gabriel back, how do they get to six wins in what is now rates as the best conference top-to-bottom? Not a single gimme. They'll need to count on beating a Daniels-less Kansas next week.

[NewYorkExpress]

Kansas will not become bowl-eligible this week, losing to #17 TCU 38-31.

Given the embarrassing 49-0 loss to Texas this week, and the fact the Sooners don't have a Big Twelve victory yet, what are the odds Brent Venables is fired as Oklahoma head coach at some point this season?

Any program that fires a coach in his first year (non-interim) will never be able to get a good coach again

[NewYorkExpress]

Okay, week isn't over yet, but I'm now confident in my playoff and New Year's Six picks after this week.

Orange: Syracuse vs Penn State

Sugar: Oklahoma State vs Tennessee

Rose: USC vs Michigan

Cotton: UCLA vs Coastal Carolina


Peach: #1 Alabama vs #4 Clemson

Fiesta #2 Ohio State vs #3 Georgia

I was going to point out Southern Miss, but actually you're basically right.

Why are you such a TCU hater? We should be good enough to be at least in your NY6 rankings now since we beat Kansas, sad!

TCU probably needs to beat Oklahoma State, either next week (that should get them into the Cotton Bowl, assuming they make the Big Twelve Title game and lose, and all other results elsewhere go their way) or in the Big Twelve Title Game (which would get them into the Sugar Bowl). Oklahoma's collapse is hurting the conference overall, quite frankly.

On the other hand, every team that already fired their coach won this week. Oklahoma would've won Red River if they just fired Venables beforehand.

TCU or Oklahoma State still get into the playoff with 1 loss I think, not just NY6

A one loss Michigan or Penn State (assuming the only loss is to Ohio State) and a two-loss Alabama/Georgia are both ahead of them. Possibly also a one loss Clemson team that loses the ACC Title game if their opponent is also ranked.

This take is so hot it causes me physical pain

[Alben Barkley]

Well, it's official: We are a basketball school.

[NewYorkExpress]

Anyone want to guess which coach gets fired tomorrow?

I'd probably bet on Brian Harsin, personally, but that might be a sucker's bet.
