CINCI vs. PITT has been a good one. Both QB's are throwing stupid passes and getting picked off a lot, though. Cinci was finally exposed. There is no way these guys could win a BCS game this year. This will be good for TCU, should Texas lose tonight.

As I'm watching, Cinci scores to make it 38-30 pitt, and their kicker, Rogers, hits the upright on the extra point and it bounces out. :lol:



WVU vs. RUTGERS wvu looked like they had it in the bag for awhile, but Rutgers puts it within 3 after a long bomb pass.



HOUSTON vs. ECU Another good game. Houston has a heck of an offense this year, but their defense is one of the worst I've seen. Looks like ECU is gonna take this one. The weird thing is: this game is at ECU. A conference championship game played at one of the team's house? Seems odd. Guess they need it to make the money and get fans out.

Especially since Houston is the conference's ONLY ranked team.

East Carolina has the better conference record.

freaking pitt...

Only at Houston could the QB throw for 527 yards and 5 TDs and still lose. They should finish unranked again this year, making it every single year since the Big east robbed C-USA that NO C-USA team finished the season ranked. Houston hasn't finished a season in the Top 25 since the inception of the BCS. And that was WITH the best QB in their history. They would be a terrible addition to our conference.



Also, Cincy-Pitt featured a combined 5 interceptions. I still don't give any credit to that conference. They schedule weaker OOC than just about anyone out there. Army and Buffalo, that's their bread and butter.

That wounded duck at the end of the Houston game has got to be the DUMBEST play I have seen in a long time (well, not that long given LSU's). Seriously, you're moving the ball, you've got just under a minute, and you just chuck up a jump ball into double coverage? Stupid.

the THREE missed extra points killed Houston... otherwise they would have only needed a field goal, and I'm HOPING they wouldn't have forced it so much.

Alabama is shutting it down way too early. Are you really trying to run down the clock with 12 min left? Stupid! This is the same strategy that let the Frutes climb back into the game against us. What Bama needs to do is keep their foot on the pedal and put up a couple more scores, put this game away Tide!

anyone watch Arizona USC?



Both teams looked very fast, and USC was capable of throwing. USC is weak this year, but I think they would expose us.Arizona was keeping the pass away by rushing four and STILL getting pressure on the qb all day. We won't be aable to do that and that will hurt us.



I ahven't watched arizona all year except that in this game they ran the ball a lot which is how Stanford beat them.



Nice to see USC go down, but still not sure we could take them this year. Let the bowl invitations begin!

I see USC as being a lot like the Frutes this year: Good D, athletic, young and inconsistent qb. I think we're more consistent and experienced on both sides of the ball and we can beat them.

I know most of you were secretly following the Fresno vs Illinois game.........



If you havent seen the highlights they are pretty incredible. One of the announcers said it was the greatest game he had ever seen. I think the final was 54-53 or something..

Who cares? Illinois is terrible. Ron Zook is one of the worst coaches I've ever seen.

The end was amazing! (and that's all I saw). Fresno goes for two to either win it or lose it, the qb almost gets sacked and throws up a lame duck, it carroms off his guy and a defender and bounces back into the arms of an O-lineman who rumbles it into the endzone. Crazy!

Put this also in the Holy Crap file: Houston's Keenum passed the ball 75 times! He racked up 500+ yards. his team still lost to Eastern Carolina...

I did. I'm also watching a crappy Wisconsin lay the wood on the road against an even crappier Hawaii.
