What a train wreck Maryland is tonight
OT: NCAA College Football Games Thread 10/10-10/12 Thurs-Sat
- Thread starter rutgersguy1
- Start date
Alright there is NO reason to think we can’t go into Maryland and win there. Regardless of what ESPN’s stupid FPI says.
"Maryland had 2 weeks to prepare for this."
Pathetic….. NW has really competitive on the OL/DL and that is seems to be neutralizing MD.
The 1st half of the schedule was supposed to be easy. It only gets harder from here on.
What ever we do, double Felton and let the other Wr/TE go one on one. Their Oline is weak, so they’re one dimensional, if you get Edward’s off his spot he becomes inaccurate and just chucks it. Defensively they’re not good.

Utah took the lead with a long drive and some nice hard running by Bernard to go up 16-13.
ASU answers with a nice drive and 50 yd TD run with some physical running by Skattebo to go up 20-16.

Wow ASU going for it on 4th and 1 inside their own 30 and get stuffed. Up 4 and 9 minds to go.
Rising missed an open throw after but Bernard looking good running. Rising doesn’t look that good tonight coming back after injury.
Looks like ASU’s defense and Rising’s inability may bail them out. They score a TD but it comes back on an OPI. Utah goes for the FG after that penalty and get it…down 20-19 with under 6mins left.

ASU UP 4 goes for 4th and 1 from their own 39!
Did not convert. Unreal.

29 but the defense held up and the OPI and Rising being somewhat hobbled helped them. They’re still up 1 after the FG. Looks like a fun finish on tap..
Big 3rd down conversion for ASU and Skattebo with a nice catch too, good hands.
Oh it’s almost over now…another big run by Skattebo for TD. He put them on his back and won it. 47yd TD run. ASU up by 8 …27-19.
2:41 left which is a lot of time but Rising hasn’t looked great. Utah has all 3 timeouts and the 2 min warning.

Utah driving. Utes RB runs full speed into the back of his teammate, but still gains 1st down. Not feeling the vibes from Utah 7th year senior QB Cam Rising*.
*Rising may have another year of eligibility in 2025.

WTF Utah you have 3 timeouts and you take a delay of game on 3rd and 10
And that’s it, 3rd INT for Rising. Under 50% on the night. He’s not the same qb.
This game featured some great plays and a gazillion errors.
Funny and fired up interview by Dillingham lol.
Missed the fun part of him jumping up and down with the fans and getting swallowed up lol…found the longer version

My new 2nd favorite coach. Here’s the end of the Dillingham interview. If you can’t smile at this, you’re not a CFB fan.
Dillingham is an offensive coach but i was surprised when I watched the Texas St game that their defense, and offense too I suppose, can be physical at times. Same was true last night.
Some high profile name games today. OSU/Oregon, PSU/USC, Texas/OU, Ole Miss/LSU. Will be interesting to see how the trips to west go for PSU and OSU, should think PSU/OSU should take it easy but we'll see. First trip out of the friendly confines of home or the midwest for OSU. Same for PSU regarding the east coast or home.
KSU at Colorado, Cal at Pitt, ISU at WVU, Wash at Iowa are interesting to me as well.

The current Big 12 is a fun conference, hope those programs enjoy it until the conference inevitably collapses as we move to a two conference league.
Reminds me a ton of Big East 2.0, a lot of nice national opportunities for some of these programs while it lasts.

I've been saying that for the B12 and ACC when people make fun of them. Yea they don't get the same money etc..but there's plenty of opportunity for schools to do things they've never done before, make playoffs, get some attention, achieve good goals etc.. I mean really that's what the money is for, it's just means to an end not the end itself. It is fun when it's wide open but I could definitely see a 3 loss or even 4 loss champ come out from one/both of them sooner or later.
I don't think the B12 or ACC are going anywhere though. Getting too exclusive brings the threat of outside interference (gov't) and I think the leadership of both conferences realize it. They will have influence and big say and take more money but it doesn't mean they will exclude everyone else. Even in MBB, the expansion talk is to go to 96 or some such, not kick out the lower status G5 schools etc..and stay at 68. Pettiti's suggestion for the playoff format was 3 auto bids for the SEC/B10 and 2 for the ACC/B12 and 1 for the G5. For those conferences, that's pretty good to me and the G5 stays status quo so no unilateral exclusion there.
Why do you think the government would get involved? This is all internal to the broader league. The conferences aren’t separate leagues in the current structure.
All the articles I've read have comments from conference leadership always point to the threat of government interference if the conferences get too exclusive. Even when they made this expanded CFP format for the highest conference champs, Bowlsby and/or Sankey made comments that part of the reason for that vs autobids was worry about outside interference. It's also brought up in comments from leadership when talking about expansion and conferences getting too big and taking everything. Maybe it has to do with monopolistic behavior, I don't know. Plus these universities who could be left out are major universities in states where politicians might take a stand and get involved if they think their schools are being excluded without fair chance to participate. So the B10 and SEC will have more money and big influence but they have to watch just how far they push things if they exclude too much conferences like the ACC/B12 and even the G5 to a degree.
