2012-2013 NCAA Football Thread (National Signing Day)

The Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl is also sketchy since it assumes that both FSU wont "pull an FSU" and Clemson wont "pull a Clemson". Two pretty big assumptions.

If it is a Alabama vs. Kansas St. National Title game, I want to see Oregon offense go up against Notre Dame's defense, especially if both of those schools are undefeated as well. I don't want to see Oregon slaughter a Big 10 team, and I sure as hell don't want to see a rematch of the Notre Dame vs. Oklahoma game.

If K St makes the title game it is because Oregon and ND lost.

The computers love the Big 12. Kansas State is in great shape for the title game if they win out.

This. The polls and computers were both shaky on ND before this week ranking them #4, #4, and #5 respectively. I doubt there narrow escape against pitt will do much to impress them.

BCS top 10
1. Alabama
2. KState
3. Oregon
4. Notre Dame
5. Georgia
6. Florida
7. LSU
8. So. Carolina
9. Louisville
10. FSU

Almost comforting knowing that even had FSU beat NCState they'd still be playing for the same thing.

Major, as you have blown this up and chopped it to the point where you can't see if the ball shifts or not this is once again inconclusive evidence. In terms of real motion, the refs got it right, it looked in real motion that it was a catch from someone not wearing Blue and Gold glasses. I'm sure as soon as he threw it you said, not caught but this isn't the case in a non-bias viewing. I will also say that whenever you slow ANY controversial call down enough you could likely make a very strong point on either side of it.

I would even agree with you at this point that I'm leaning towards a no catch but again you have stopped the video far to early to determine it.

I would disagree with this. The chop Major posted CLEARLY shows the ball land between his hands. If his left hand is inside the ball, and his right hand is outside the ball, and both hands are in contact with the ground, and the all s between his hands, the ball is by definition on the ground. As he rolls, the ball clearly moves, indicating no possession. No catch, WV got screwed.

Of course, if their defense doesn't give up a 94 yard TD with a minute left.....

Watched the USC-Oregon game live this weekend. Incredible speed on the field. So much fun to watch

[Die Hard]

Without any context of the play... that was an incomplete pass. The ball hit the turf. Both the receivers elbows are completely flexed.... AND the elbows were at shoulder width apart which means they were too wide to cradle the ball. If the ball isn`t between the arm/forearms... and not between the elbows... then the ball was clearly trapped between the ground and shoulder pads.

[ixcuincle]

Yeah, I said at that time that looked incomplete

Didn't think WVU would lose 3 straight like this

I said I do see how it wasn't overturned. You don't actually SEE the ball hit the turf....but there are several things about that play that you can use to clearly see that the ball hit the ground.

For the record, my DVD didn't get overtime. The first I saw that the play was controversial was ixuncle post. So I watched with no emotion. I do know I am biases...but that was not a catch.

Disregard election. More football.

well the link below is kind of a mix of election and football. its a blind test on who is most deserving to play in the Natty. not really an accurate test IMO because you can't really judge teams blindly. but they take arbitrary stats from the 5 unbeatens and let the masses decide.

James Gayle Virginia Tech defensive end apparently talked a little trash in July, but someone apparently remembered.

I picked ND and Kansas St, based of top 20 wins and opponents winning percentage.
