Today's College Football Thread

[fishwax]

Next week we have the conference championship games and a few stragglers playing their final games, but for most this is the last day of the regular season. There are a lot of good games on tap, matchups between ranked teams, in-state rivalries, games with conference titles on the line, and some games that involve all three.

In the early games, Georgia (11) plays Georgia Tech (22). Virginia Tech plays Virginia, and the Hokies will be ACC Coastal Division champs if they win. (If they lose, then Georgia Tech will be Coastal Division Champs.)

In the afternoon, Florida (4) plays Florida State (20)--the Gators are already in the SEC Championship Game, but need to beat the Seminoles to stay in the national title picture. Auburn plays Alabama, with the Crimson Tide in the same position as the Gators. Meanwhile, if Boston College can beat Maryland, they're ACC Atlantic Division Champs. (If they lose, then Florida State will be.)

Among the night games, Oregon (23) plays at Oregon State (17), with a Pac 10 title and Rose Bowl bid on the line for the Beavers. (If OSU loses, USC wins the Pac 10.) Oklahoma (3) plays at Oklahoma State (12), with a win likely putting the Sooners in the Big 12 Championship game against Missouri. The Cowboys have an outside shot at a BCS bowl, if Texas Tech loses to Baylor this afternoon and they beat the Sooners tonight.

So what games are you looking forward to?

Go Griz!

[fishwax]

13. Go Griz!

Down 10-7 at halftime ...

[ChoralScholar]

36. :( shoulda been

Montana v. Central Arkansas...

but since they're still in transition to Div 1, they couldn't accept the Southland's playoff bid, even though they won the conference outright, and was ranked #13.

Oh well. Go Grizzlies, looks like they won!

[insanity]

2. The Civil War, of course

I'm head-to-toe in beaver gear already

[Twillig]

8. It's gonna be an Orange Hell for the ducks!

a blast from the past:

[fishwax]

15. Should be a great game

I wish it weren't on opposite Bedlam so that I could pay more attention to it. :)

[Tom Kitten]

26. Go Beavers!

Gotta go find a sports bar to watch it...Don't have cable and listening on the radio just won't do!

[evlbstrd]

3. Kansas v. Missouri.

It'll be the best football at Arrowhead Stadium all season.

[fishwax]

16. Indeed it has been

It'll be the best football at Arrowhead Stadium all season.

:rofl:

This has been an amazing second half though. Mizzou just scored a touchdown to go up by four with 1:50 left, so it's not over yet ...

[turtlelowe]

31. Rock Chalk Jayhawk

GO KU!!!!! Not that it matters much in the grand scheme of things...but Kansas' win will give me bragging rights over all of my neighbors (I live in Missouri).

[lizerdbits]

4. VT vs. UVA

Watching now, tied at 7. Hokies missed a field goal so it could have been a 10-7 lead.

[underpants]

7. Tied at 14

Tech can't finish in the red zone...so far

I know it is senior day but they need to give up on Glennon. Taylor can take them where they need to go.

Both teams are really young so this should be interesting the next few years.

[lizerdbits]

11. WooHoo! Tech Wins! nt

[underpants]

12. Outcoached

the reason Tech has the record they have and UVa has theirs' is because of coaching

Congrats Tech.

[fishwax]

17. Congrats to the Hokies

I guess they'll get a chance to avenge one of their losses in the ACC Championship Game ...

[sasquatch]

23. The boxed wine bowl

:rofl:

[Ava]

5. ROLLLLLLL TIDE!

:woohoo:

[fishwax]

18. they've got the chance to break a long streak today

been a bit of a drought in the Iron Bowl, but this probably ought to be their year ...

[Ptah]

6. Kickoff!

[SoxFan]

9. WOOO PIG SOOIE!

Yeah, I know, it was yesterday, but anytime the Hogs beat LSU on Black Friday, it's cause for gloating!

[fishwax]

19. Congrats!

At least they ended the season on a positive note :toast:

[SoxFan]

22. They spared Bobby Petrino a nervous breakdown

Les Miles is probably ready for a straightjacket after the penalties LSU committed in the 4th quarter.

[SoxFan]

10. Univ. of New Orleans plays first game in 38 years!

http://www.angelfire.com/la/uno/unofb.html

The University of New Orleans played its first football game since 1970 earlier this month. The Privateers are fielding a club football team. Though they lost to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, they drew almost 4,000 fans to their sole 2008 home game.

Go Privateers!

[fishwax]

20. Cool!

[elifino]

14. Georgia Tech fan here

[fishwax]

21. Congrats

Exciting finish, but they held on for the win :toast:

[fishnfla]

27. The ramblin wreck used the same 5 plays on offense to win it in the second half

guts

[tigereye]

24. my son and I saw Pitt beat WVU yesterday! That was very cool.

today I usually watch the Bayou Classic - I love seeing the bands and play from these historically AA colleges (Southern made a cool Obama graphic on the field) and then Notre Dame later on today. (Irish Catholic kid, what can I say?) : )

[fishwax]

28. I bet that was fun -- that was an exciting game

:toast:

[tigereye]

37. it was very exciting - but PItt's blocking seemed off

I think that without McCoy's skills, we probably would have lost. WVU folk were quite unhappy.

33. GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad can send me my dollar back, now.

We have an annual one-dollar bet, as he played for OSU and I went to UO. Last year I sent him a buck that said FIRE MIKE BELLOTTI in big, thick Sharpie. This year, I think he should send me two. Just cause we beat them that bad.

GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

34. YAAAAAAAAAY Ducks!!!!!

Watched it with my family as I am visiting this weekend. We were cheering so loudly, we rattled the windows!

35. We set a new NCAA record!

Points given up in a regular season! Granted, it took a scheduled 13th game to do it but still, we are in the history books.

Points total: 165-570
