Week 11 College Football Thread: 'Bama's trap game scenario

It looks trappy to me.

But, like the New Jersey governor's race, Mississippi State will have to aim for an effort "outside the margin of fraud."

 

A minor shitstorm has started over what the Troy coach said or didn't say in the preseason.
The original word was that he predicted Troy would beat Arkansas this week back in the lazy days of summer. Then the coach said in the teleconference this week he made no such prediction and that he wasn't a prediction guy.
So the source of the rumor is tracked back to Phil Steele, he of semi-magazine fame, and the quote from the coach is attributed to a radio guy who said he heard the coach say it, or something.
Then the radio guy said it wasn't a quote, but a paraphrase, and taken out of context or maybe it was something said in a jokey manner and the tone of the statement was that it was a funny.
I've grown bored with it all.
Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said he didn't care, it was still going up on the bulletin board.
Or maybe he said that laughing. Who knows? Who cares?
Outside of Troy Nation or is that Troy County, and the Arkansas fanbase, it hasn't gotten much play.

 

They're expecting one of the biggest crowds in Heinz Field history for this game.
8 p.m. kickoff
ABC national game
Pitt hasn't been ranked this high, this late, since 1982.
A normal school's alum says, "Yes!"
A Pitt alum says, "here comes a bedshitting."
We've only seen it time and time and time and time again.
That said I'll be in section 122, changing Golden Tate's name to "Golden Taint," 'cause, you know, I'm mature an' shit.

 

That's some solid journalism. Did he get any quotes from the waitresses at whatever restaurant Blakelney frequents.

 

Agreed.

 

That's Pike County.

 

I was going to make that correction, but I knew you would Yodel.

 

Something being bandied about in some pockets of the Deep South, and sure to determine the size of bowl that each will be invited to, is the Tennessee at Ole Miss game.
One of two straight CBS games at Oxford for the Rebels (including next week's LSU tilt) is interesting if only because of Ed Orgeron's return to the Vaught-Hemingway sidelines.
It's for all intents and purposes a pick-em game but, playing in its own stadium, Ole Miss is favored by a field goal.

 

If Tennessee beats Ole Siss by more than ten, they're in the top 25.

 

No chance of that happening, IMO.

 

What, Tennessee beating Ole Miss by more than 10, or them getting in the Top 25 if they do?

 

Notre Dame has been so schizo this year that I could see them winning at Pitt and Stanford and losing at home to UConn.
