I swear, including the utter bullshit that is the Harris Poll in the BCS Standings is just a total crock. Of course, the Computer Rankings, in general, are a total crock as well. Oklahoma State is #1?! I'm sorry, but that's just bullshit.

God I fuckin' hate College Football.

[bdoughty]

The one that blows me away is that two computers have 2-loss Auburn ahead of Wisconsin. The same Auburn that struggled to beat Utah St and had FAU as it's other non-conference game. Some of them computers have a wee bit of the SEC bias and they really do not like the B1G Ten.

Yea that one is just bullshit and doesn't pass the smell test. Anyone one with a lick of common sense would know right away how retarded that is.

[morsdraconis]

I'm sorry to our Nebraska brethren here, but Nebraska should not be as high as they are. Who have they beaten this year? A shitty Ohio State team?

I just hate ranking bullshit. It's all subjective bullshit. I can't wait until this fuckin' league wakes the fuck up and makes a damn playoff, like it should be. I swear, if I didn't like WVU as much as I do, I wouldn't even waste my time watching College Football. It's one big vat of hypocrisy.

Agreed. We're not a good team right now.

...and yes I'm DYING for a playoff....meaning I'm dying for a lot of unbeatens this year.

[bdoughty]

Well there is always the FCS. I do enjoy what little coverage we get of their playoff system. I seem to recall picking Georgia Southern to win the FCS this year and they are currently undefeated and number one in the rankings.

[milelong420]

I would have to agree Nebraska is not doing well this year. Im hoping that second half against Ohio State will give us the boost that we need for the rest of the year, but im guessing i will be saying "maybe next year" AGAIN!!!!

Also a playoff system would be nice, but i also like the BCS just because it makes it interesting...but a playoff system would be better.

I still say LSU is going to win it all this year.

[gschwendt]

If you like offense, you should tune in tonight to the FIU vs Arkansas State game. Their front 7 is pretty good but their secondary is pretty bad so it only helps our passing game. Our question mark also falls into the secondary so it will be interesting to see if we can slow down T.Y. Hilton after he's had time to rest his hamstring. These are probably the two best offenses in the Sun Belt so it will be interesting to see how the game develops.

[JBHuskers]

I just like to tune in for these Sun Belt and MAC mid-week games anyways. I love the "during the week" showcase.

[ram29jackson]

I just found game and thought......I bet i know what Gschwendt is doing right now LOL

So far, tie game 3-3. Interesting to watch two teams that are either, not very good offensively, or, are showing good defensive abilities.

[SmoothPancakes]

These stupid ass penalties are going to kill FIU tonight.

I want to say it's the defenses but not sure. For a Malzahn clone, our coach sure likes vanilla playcalling. We've got three 6'3+ WRs.and you get down inside the 10 and don't throw at least one up... :-\ we're usually a second half team do we'll see how it goes. That field goal at the half though was huge so hopefully we use that momentum.

Meanwhile, we're having a couple moments of stupid playcalling. 2nd (or maybe it was 3rd?) and 20+ and you call a run up the middle. To go along with all the stupid penalties FIU kept committing in the 1st half.

[SmoothPancakes]

Speaking of stupid ass penalties. Getting flagged for sideline interference. Penalties are going to ruin FIU.

[gschwendt]

Finally opening our playbook a bit. Running plays we haven't run in several weeks and finding success. Good drive though I'd prefer we were able to extend the field more than we have.
