THE PAC12 THREAD v.4

[trojanfan12]

Eh, no big thing. Eastern was just like Portland State. Just a practice game.

Practice for the local liquor stores to make sure they're stocked up properly?

You mean he isn't worried in the least about his permban bet with mcnabb after what he saw? Yeah, I'm not buying it either.

Not at all worried. And fordman has agreed to see it through no matter what direction it goes. Apologies for not replying we have a lot of football between SC/Washington play.. A bit busy opening weekend of college football. As far as USC they lost to the best team in the country. And I was really impressed with the defense. The defense looked great against the top team in the country. Until they were wore down.I'm more focussed on SC getting their offense on track vs Utah State before the Stanford game. If the offense catches on SC may very well be a much better team than last season.

Gotta give a lot of credit to Adoree and Fitzpatrick. Its not often you see Juju and Ridley shut down.SC doesn't have a weak schedule. They do need to make adjustments. But we aren't even close to a definitive breakdown of the USC/Washington game. We still need to see how SC responds.And we won't have a true gauge on Washington until they are tested..Which looks like September 30th vs Stanford.

Until then theres a there is a lot of football to be played and enjoyed. I was spot on with calling the Houston upset. And my dark horse Wisconsin defeating LSU.Didnt see the Aggies upsetting UCLA tho. A ton of respect for Alabama they showed why they are the clear cut number 1 team in the nation.Its going to be a fun college football season.Looking forward to week 2 already

You can't even keep your own bullshit straight...

He'd have to be brain dead to not have even a little concern. So it's entirely possible he doesn't.

It's all good, USC's defense was impressive. Bama's known for their high scoring powerhouse offense anyway, nothing to worry about.

Sorry its college football season. And s you must have noticed by my lack of responses to fishing. I am much more interested in College football. Unless you want to talk college football I'm quite busy. As of now Stanford looks to be the best team in the PAC again. And I wouldn't sleep on Oregon.I am very interested to see if Helton can make the necessary adjustments on offense vs Utah State. Stanford is going to be a big test for SC.

 

[TheDayMan]

Oh, and UCLA is way overrated, but I didn't see them losing. Stanford's also super overrated, but they're my favorite for the north. UW, I just don't see it at all, they might even struggle against Rutgers. I nailed my Houston pick though. Have I mentioned how impressive USC's defense was?

Yeah? You think that impressive defense will shut them down like last year?

 

[Olyduck]

It is exactly how it works. They played a scrimmage in front of a packed house. It's not at all how I or basically any normal person would like our schools to play but Leach does.

NFL preseason is practice. they played games but their records are 0-0
College football every game counts. WSU record is now 0-1. It wasnt practice. It wasnt scrimmage. it was a game. and Washington State lost. IF WSU runs the table and wins out and wins the conference congrats they get left out of the playoff because they lost to FCS Eastern Washington. if they won that and went 13-0 they would be in the playoff.

Was this not college football enough? Or are you too busy copy/pasting how impressive USC was?

Yeah, I think he gets it.

Congrats to the PAC12 pickem winners this week. @DJ (1st), @RegentDenali (2nd) & @TheDayMan (3rd).

We had a 4 way tie for second place and Regent just ekes out DayMan by a point. @bksballer89 & @Duckfan22 failed to enter a tiebreaker score.

I agree I don't think anyone recovers from an FCS loss with the playoff system. It has been a very interesting opening weekend so far. Houston and Wisconsin put themselves in extremely interesting positions. The Wisconsin defense was very impressive shutting down a heisman calibre running back. And getting a ton of pressure on a very good offensive line. While their offense looks like it may gel. Houston had a good start vs a great defense. lemons will only get better. And Fumagalli may have a very productive season. Watts was all over the place. If Wisconsin runs the table.They could be very dangerous vs a Michigan or OSU in the BIG CCG.

Houston looked great. If Herman can get his cough to run the table. Its going to be really hard to leave them out. That was an extremely impressive win over Oklahoma. The production and performance Herman gets out of his teams is unreal. I can see Herman eventually taking a job with a blue blood or big name school. And being extremely successful.

I wasn't thrilled with the loss to Bama. But a loss to Alabama in week one is recoverable. UCLA's loss helped a lot. The south is still wide open. But SC has the most difficult SOS in college football.Washington looked good vs Rutgers but I still need to see more. I believe their first real challenge is Stanford. And Mccaffery started the season in stride. And they still have to beat Oregon. Slow start vs UC Davis. But the ducks did still show the quick strike offense. Freeman will find his stride. And when Prukop gets a few more games in. With the ducks flying under the radar they may be more dangerous than in years past. Theres a lot of football left to be played. It was a hell of a week one. But we will learn a lot in the next few weeks. As we see how teams respond

 

[Vitamike]

UCLA's loss helped a lot.

I had to head out in the middle third quarter of the Bruins game on some business, so I taped the game and finished the game up later in the evening. It was an exciting finish to see the come back, and then their WR Roberts drops the sure tying TD in OT on 3rd down. Hit him in the hands....

Similar to you clarkson, the saving grace was the moment I switched over to catch the end of the SC game. I really couldn't believe the score.

So yes I must agree, going from the UCLA OT loss one minute to seeing the Bama blowout score over SC the next, helped a lot!

 

[TheDayMan]

This is like the 8th times you've said this, so how is exactly is oregon flying under the radar? You think not being ranked as high as recent years makes them more dangerous? Why? You think their ranking has any bearing on how serious pac teams will take them or something?

On the bright side Rosen looked extremely good in the 4th quarter. And if not for a bad pick late.And a ballsy call to go for it on 4th down in OT. I think UCLA wins the game.

I'm glad we could helo too SC and UCLA losing did help. And the south is wide open imo.Its going to be a fun year vitamike

Those DE's A&M has are no joke! Even then, the INT's have got to stop. (3 just in this game!) Consecutive throws without an INT was his strong point last year. I don't blame the second on him (Another pass that squarely hits the WR hands and bounces off and into the arms of the defender) but the other two were awful!

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

Is it me -- or are the Husky fans extremely more hilarious when their team is good????

Reading through this thread you guys made me chuckle quite a bit.

P.S. not trolling there is some funny shit up in here
