What, no love for CUSA? North Texas at FAU, Noon, ESPN2.

 

[RURM85]

Let the games begin. I'm struggling with the B1G Championship and who I'm rooting for. I would typcially root for the Buckeyes when playing Wisconsin, however, I understand what's best for the Conference and have this feeling that if Wisconsin wins, it could do damage in the Playoffs.

 

[RUaMoose]

Only two I have any interest in is the SEC and B1G

 

[read option]

Rooting for Stanford, Clemson and Wisconsin.

 

[Plum Street]

Don’t want Clemson or Alabama in the playoff .

 

[Knight Shift]

Wait a minute. EMU is not playing for the MAC championship? Some idiot would not stop all season about how great they were. Where is that idiot now?

 

[ron313]

Wisconsin!!!

 

[RUforester72]

Great weekend for CFB. After this it gets meted out in small doses.

Cold turkey ahead.

 

[Knightmoves]

We will learn a lot about Wisconsin today. Don’t discount their defense and the accuracy of their QB, Hornibrook. I am rooting for them to go undefeated at the end.

But if Alabama gets into the Final Four they will be the clear favorite, and for good reason.

Speak thou of Haiku?
Emu is evil, accursed
But in no way great

So an SEC team that doesn't get into its conference championship game gets into the national semi-final?
Was B.S. when it happened before and would be B.S. now.

Memphis vs UCF could be a fun one if you like shootouts.

Oklahoma will roll TCU.

Auburn will have a tougher time in the rematch but I don't think it was a fluke that they physically beat up on Georgia. Johnson's injury is a problem, though. Could be a fun one.

I don't see Miami beating Clemson.

Wisconsin vs OSU - which Buckeyes show up? They can look like the best team in football, or get blown out by Iowa. I hope the Badgers get it done but don't feel confident in picking the outcome here.

And I agree, please no Alabama in the playoff. All the more reason to root for OU and Wisconsin.

I think it depends on which OSU team shows up like someone above mentioned. Hornibrook is hit or miss. Sometimes very effective, sometimes not so great decision making/turnover prone. I'm rooting for Wisconsin though.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Don't know if that should have been a TO for Memphis. Looked like the guy bobbled it for a bit but then got possession while he was laying on the ground but then the UCF player wrestled it from him quickly but should have been a dead ball as soon as Memphis player had possession IMO.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

So I guess we don’t get FBS, D2, or D3 games on TV until next weekend, correct?

You can watch it all today or on replay on the free ESPN3 site (aka WatchESPN app)

UCF Memphis. 400 total yards of offense in the first quarter.

 

[bigmatt718]

UCF looks really good.

Is that all? [pfftt]

 

[RutgersRockies]

Florida State is hosting Louisiana-Monroe on the ACC Network today, too.

The AAC game is simply terrible football; maybe not if you're a fan of games with no defense.

 

[rutgersguy1]

It's almost a forgone conclusion with Frost but if you needed even more evidence.

Wouldn't this be a violation of NCAA rules? I know, I know, NCAAlol and all that, but still...

I don't know.

Heck of a game at the AAC championship in Orlando.
UCF up 38-34 in the middle of the 3rd, w Memphis driving. Both teams may wind up in the 50s or 60s, lol

[rutgersguy1]

Whew killer there, 3rd and 14 and they convert for a huge gain. Memphis in the driver's seat now with just a minute to go.

Penalty drives them back to tough FG range and delay of game saves them from the block, oh geez. Made no difference still not good. Still time too the way this game has been going, lol. My goodness.

 

[ClassOf02]

I think I might've punted there if I was Memphis. Hindsight, I know but a frosh kicker who hasn't looked good.

 

[Abro1975]

Looks like OT in the UCF - Memphis game

Sloppy ending by both teams. OT now.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

This is an exciting game! So many emotional swing plays.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Oklahoma's offense can strike so quickly. They put TCU away fast in the 3rd quarter.

OMG what a catch by Miller on 4th and 7 to keep Memphis's hopes alive!

 

[RUtrumpet92]

How fast will Frost be on the plane to Lincoln? What an atmosphere!

 

[Abro1975]

Who does Alabama pull for here, Auburn or Georgia?

 

[Doctor Worm]

My guess is doesn't matter, IMO Alabama's playoff fate is wholly dependent on OSU beating Wisky.
