College Football 2024

Oh of course not. Bama didn’t care about this game so they didn’t try.

See? It is easy to stay stupid.

Even though they were hyped to get "revenge" from last year.

Just saw the highlights of the game- looked very similar to last year when Michigan sacked Millroe so much. Which is really bad for bama, as neither Mason Graham nor Kenneth Grant played- who were the core of last years team let alone beat OSU pretty much on their own.

The lack of real offense was totally expected, too- the top two runners for this season and the top TE for the last 3 seasons didn't play.

In all, a total of 24 players didn't play today between the portal and going pro. Bama had 19 players in the portal, but none opted out of the game.

In spite of all of that, Michigan still beat bama. Cry me a crimson river.

Seriously, this was a bad Michigan team- I'm totally aware of that. So this BS about the SEC and bama is just stupid. The strength of schedule argument it very, very hollow. It's far worse to get beat by a 7-5 Michigan than Indiana did to Notre Dame.
 
Iowa was SO close to having the B1G sweep the SEC. OSU, USC, Michigan, and Illinois all beat SEC teams. 4-1 isn't bad. All but OSU were upsets for the rankings (would say USC was an upset as they were .500 going into the game, A&M was 8-4). And I found it funny that two unranked B1G teams played two ranked SEC teams.
 
Alabama completes its worst season in 17 years. Somewhere Paul Finebaum weeps into a pillow of money.

Bert Bielema showed his true colors again today. What a piece of ****.

Not sure what happened there, I was watching something on my computer, and all of a sudden there was pandemonium. Why was bert whining about legal substitutions? The other coach was doing exactly what the rules allow, and I always wonder why teams don't stress the crap out of the O when they do late substitutions.

You may recall that late in the first half of the MN-MI game, the Gophers got the ball super deep and rushed on the kicking team. Michigan *should* have walked on it's block team, which would have run out the clock. But somehow that rule was not known as a strategy. MN correctly took advantage of MI not realizing that.

It's pretty funny that the rule went from a significant advantage to the offense for fast changes to a defensive advantage by taking time away from the offense.

Why did Bret feel the need to get in the SC coach's face, though. Cost SC a time out in that drive that really mattered at the end of the game- could have done that without having a blow up.

The only worse game for me would have been Bozo Jr College vs the team from Ohio. But I was forced to root for the pedos. Let alone, being a Lions fan, I could not bear to see Barry Sander's rushing record broken from the team from SW Idaho.

Personally I think a rule change is in order. While the defense is subbing, you stop the play clock. I know there are significant issues with that, but costing a timeout like that just seems wrong. So while stopping the clock may not work, this can't go on.

They should at least put time windows for both teams to sub- like how refs do in hockey. Signal the offensive team to change, and then put their arm down to stop when they can. If nothing happens, then just let the play happen; if there is a change, allow the D in a specific time window. Maybe give the O 10 seconds to decide to make a change, and then the D 10 seconds to do the same- that will give the offense 20 remaining seconds to run a play.

edit- that really would not work for the end of half, no timeout, field goal attempt if there isn't time available. But it's important to still allow both teams to change, as it's not really fair to only allow one side to make a change (I think....). As long as the D is running???

There's an exception in the rule for obvious kicking situations near the end of halves that does not give the defense time to match-up.

Gotta love a DT reception on a fake punt.

AZ seems to be panicking. At least the coaching staff- just get points. They went for it down 14, 11 with some momentum is better than giving the ball back when it’s just the 2nd quarter. It was 4th and 10 for crying out loud.

Arizona State's kickers are trash. Season long is like 32 and they're 5 for 14.
