The Other Guys - Week 8 games

[bellsduck]

Stayed up to watch BYU game last night. Great game BYU pulls off with a TD 10 seconds remaining

Wild ending.

I've watched a lot of Nebraska games the last few years because they always seem to be playing at 9am, but today's game against Indiana might be the first I actually am interested to see. I'm hoping Indiana goes 11-1 and becomes the 4th Big Ten team in the playoffs.

RE: Indiana. They really haven't played anyone yet. Looks like a 3 or 4 loss team to me. We'll see how they do today when they play somebody with a pulse.

[StevensTechU]

Oklahoma is bad-bad. Venables seat is getting hot and it doesn't hurt that the Ducks and Sooners are after some of the same high school targets.

[nogerO]

Watched the first half of Indiana/Nebraska and I'm impressed with Indiana. Definitely a contender.

[StevensTechU]

Hate to say it but Miami and Oregon are a lot alike. Dangerous teams with talent all over but consistency isn't great

[StevensTechU]

The ranked teams are pulling away with one expection. Miami up 14 on Louisville and just looking a cut above. Same with Clemson against Virginia, with Clemson's defense being too much and they're up 21. Indiana is smacking Nebraska. I think it's time to have a real conversation about whether they could upset Ohio State. They just continue to dominate their games, and Ohio State doesn't impress me enough to think they're unbeatable in that game.

The exception? Missouri continues to prove they aren't a top 25 team. Down 17-6 to an Auburn team that stinks.

As I finish typing, UL houses a kick and they're now down just 7 to Miami. If they don't have a fumble in their end zone early, this is a tied game. To the naked eye, Miami still looks superior.

And Miami just fumbled. They could be the most talented team in CFB history and they’d still be a Mario Cristobal team.

They’ve required referee intervention to win the last two weeks against bad teams. And will likely need something similar today.

In fairness, I think Missouri lost their QB early in that game. Still, it is so funny that the pollsters had them ahead of the Ducks for two weeks before the Aggies crushed them.

1:20 after Miami went up by 14. Louisville ties it up. Wow.

[Phalanx]

Bruins look like they might actually win a Big 10 road game vs Rutgers after flying clear across the country. That's kind of impressive.

[StevensTechU]

Barring them couging it, UCLA is going to get its first win in conference play, on the road at 4-2 Rutgers.

Worth mentioning that Wisconsin is finding themselves. Up 23-3 late at Northwestern. Oregon has UW on the road in mid-november and might be tougher than I was anticipating.

Is Indiana that good or is Nebraska that bad?

Also which of these three coaches is least likely to be coaching next season, Mike Gundy, Mike Norvell, or Brent Venables?

[OregonFan4Life]

Tyler Shough is such a low IQ QB.

Could depend on the buyout $$$. Norvell would be first in line based on record, but I have no idea if they have had mad injury issues.

Indiana is good and Nebraska has their worst outing of the season. Nebraska best Colorado soundly; they're a top 35 team.

Mike Gundy isn't going anywhere. Venables contract is such that he likely isn't, either, but next season is looking like his last. And Norvell? Well Florida State is as unpredictable an institution as it gets.

Miami has yet another controversial call go their way in a tight game. Called a fumble on the field which Louisville runs back for a touchdown, it's ruled after review that his hand was going forward, incomplete pass. I personally thought he had lost control before his hand moves forward, so I think it was a blown call.
