[JohnShadows]

Not a lock, but the Vols cover the -8 against UgA.

 

[Wamu]

Ohio State's playing into the wind the first quarter but dammit the D needs to wake up.

Looking forward to that game later today. Hope it's a good one.

Whats the deal in the 2nd quarter?

 

[Wamu]

Whats the deal in the 2nd quarter?

I have no idea. Ohio State just looks outta sync in the first half. Doubt they'll be able to throw the ball in the 3rd with the wind in their face. Defense needs some 2nd half turnovers.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Six teams have a chance to run the table (13-0). All are currently (8-0).
Clemson
Georgia or Tennessee
Michigan or Ohio St
TCU

Better than Oklahoma?

 

[fredsdeadfriend]

Ibrahim, another 100 yard rushing game, cracked 1000 for the season and 4000 for his career.

 

[thunderc]

Better than Oklahoma?

You tell me, we both played Nebraska on the road. And it’s very much a down year for OU.

If you want to compare scores vs similar opponents, UMn would then be able to claim to be better than Michigan, Ohio St, TCU, UCLA & Washington.

So go with that if you want to, but I'd bet OSU, Michigan, TCU, UCLA & Washington fans would not agree with you.

Carry on you are a complete and total joke

How so? You are the one who was trying to claim that one single game comparison was enough to convince you of the superiority of your team. I just pointed out how comparisons of games vs similar opponents can skew a person's perspective if they put too much weight on such things. I'm not saying it's not relevant at all, just saying seasons are more than one game.

Or maybe I should judge Oklahoma's entire season by how they played against Texas???


49-0???


Minnesota hasn't been blanked 49-0 by anyone in a very long time. And it's not like Texas is all that good? They are only 5-3, not ranked, are they?

 

[fredsdeadfriend]

And you bring up ONE game.

I brought up THREE.

49-7 vs Colorado. No one else has so pummeled them.
34-7 vs Michigan St. No one other than OSU has so pummeled them.
31-0 vs Rutgers. No one other than OSU has so pummeled them.

OSU allowed 30 pts to be scored on them by MSU & Rutgers, UMn only allowed 7.

30 is way more than 7.

But I mention OSU separately because although they allowed 30, they also scored 98 while UMn only scored 65.

So what's better, 65-7 or 98-30.

But the FACT that in multiple games UMn can be comparing scores vs similar opponents with the #2 team in the nation says something. What does it say? Not sure tbh. Unlike you I won't try to argue those single games prove anything.

 

[fredsdeadfriend]

49 - 0??? To an unranked team even?


LOL @ Oklahobos!

 

[bamagrad75]

Looks like whoever agreed to Jimbos buyout has probably contacted witness protection by now.

Props for KY holding off Mizzou. Crazy penalty at the end helped. Hope their punter is okay
