(+) Yeah! (+)

Of course none of that would have mattered if Iowa had even an average offense. Minnesota opponents were averaging 26 points a game. Iowa could have done a touchdown less and still won.

Instead Iowa scored 10.

Iowa's only touchdown came on a drive that started on the 49 and included 31 yards of penalties by Minnesota.

Iowa vs Nebraska is going to be a real barn burner.

Swear... UNC has only one tough game left and instead they're gonna struggle with a 1-5 Virginia team

The Brian Ferentz offensive stat of the game: in Iowa's first five drives of the second half they had -8 yards and 1 turnover.

And only 127 yards of total offense for the game. Insane that he still has his job and probably still will after this season.

Put Sparty in the dirt

LOL Clemson and LOL USC

Utah is expected to shut down Rising for the rest of the season.

And somehow they'll still win the Pac 12.

The Mocs catching a stray

(They play in the SoCon)

Michigan is now the betting favorite to win the national title

They must have watched Ohio State/Penn State and realized the Big Ten is bad aside from them

The most that will happen to Michigan is the NCAA will vacate some wins boo hoo

As an Ohio State fan I find the whole thing pretty laughable to begin with.

I know what Michigan has done is illegal but the whole notion of a game plan being busted open by some dude recording from the stands with his cell phone is hilarious to me. Like don't make your signs that easy to steal and that easy to game plan against? I'm sure every big team is doing stuff just as illegal that is beneficial to winning too.

Spoilers in the next scene Marky Mark kills that dude and all of his friends

Big Ten Shorts

So uhh Michigan you doing Ok?

If Michigan wins the national title, any and all repercussions from cheating will be worth it.

But the Big Ten is so mediocre this year that they don't need to cheat...!

Also that poor scout who's had to film Iowa games

I assume that job was used as a punishment.

actually yes. and TCU deserved to win, that's pretty great actually that they found out what we were doing and turned it on us. we are dumb. too much talent to be messin around with that stuff.

Watch out for the Jayhawks

the main thing OU is way better at this year is not missing tackles

today has been a disaster in that regard so far

This has been a wild game

ESPN's win probability just called the game in favor of Oklahoma. Despite them just punting it into the end zone. Someone might lose their job over that.

Oh it's down to 72.9% in favor of OK after the first Kansas play
61.5% after the second

The wut

Let me guess: Oklahoma let Kansas score, and Kansas didn't even hesitate to do it

Okay that 2-point playcall was... bad.

Yes, you go for 2 there. You don't run into the box right after that just got you the TD.

Yes. 55 seconds remain, Kansas up by 5.

Oklahoma did a thing. But they need a TD and they're running low on time.

Eight seconds left!

Okay, LAST PLAY.

Oklahoma QB Gabriel just got flattened as he threw an errant pass. They got 23 yards to go.

Yesssssssss! JAYHAWKS WIN!

This makes me happy. I'm THRILLED for Leipold to actually be making a name for himself like this.

more like noklahoma

Coaching staff needs to decide what kind of team we are. Just a pathetic effort from top to bottom, the better team won today.

Team thought they only had to show up for Texas

Bye bye Utah

But now we can say hello to Clemsoning again

Welcome back, it's been a while

Nebraska may not be the best team in the world, but it's wild to feel confident in them to at least beat the teams you are supposed to be beating. I haven't felt like this in YEARS.

Would you credit that improvement to Rhule? Or do they just have a better team than they've had in a while?

If you don't blow the whistle before the play starts, that's on you, refs

It's dumb they can just blow the play dead in the middle of it

It's 100% the coaching staff. This team talent wise is not very good.

so what happened to Washington

they're struggling to beat a bad team again

This is probably the best game I've seen Milton play all year, which is definitely encouraging to see, especially since our defense didn't play particularly well.

Gotta get better at converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns though.

I wish I had this faith in Fickell, Longo, and the Badgers staff, but I don't.

Sure, we didn't get annihilated by TOSU tonight, but we still lost. We keep coming into games unprepared. We can't be a second-half team and expect to win all the games we should. Though at least we beat that traitor and Illinois last week in a thrilling comeback. That was really awesome.

Poor South Carolina

Finally, Iowa is free.

Woo! I'm honestly shocked.

LOL Ohio State at #1 in the initial playoff rankings

That's just based on beating fraudulent Penn State and Notre Dame and not based on actually watching them play

Who would you put #1 over Ohio State? It's not like any of the other unbeatens are more dominant or have better wins.

Unrelated edit instead of double posting: Tulane ranked higher than JMU and Air Force is some bullshit.

I mean Ohio State technically has a "better" resume than Michigan (who has played a crap schedule but has dominated it) but nobody honestly believes they're the best team in football

I thought the point of having human beings was that you could use the eye test in a way computers couldn't

As usual, obvious #1 is obvious #1 and people don't understand criteria for the CFP rankings. This sort of thing happens every year!

I'm not surprised by Ohio State being #1 because Georgia and Michigan have played nobody

but I just want to laugh now because I know they won't be there at the end anyway

Decent chance Michigan leapfrogs Ohio State if they blow out Penn State I think

I think Georgia and Michigan will leapfrog Ohio State in short order assuming they don't lose. Georgia has Mizzou, Ole Miss, and Tennessee coming up in the next three weeks to bolster their SoS, and Michigan pounding Penn State worse than Ohio State will give them an excuse to move them up, too.

Like I said, this will all work itself out over time. The first CFP rankings tend to be wonky (never forget Tennessee's brief reign at #1 last year, good times).
