The Other Guys - Week 8 games

[dthomas=ddixon]

The ACC is absolutely making sure Miami survives. That was a clear fumble, called that way on the field, and they somehow reverse it without conclusive evidence. What an embarrassment.

I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely thought the refs were doing everything they could to try to screw us in the Purdue game. I think they gave up after we went up by 21. Don't tell me there aren't a lot of powerful people in the BIG who are pissed about us destroying their perceived invincibility as a league.

At a certain point the media needs to start calling out the ACC. We all know some conferences want to protect their best but I’ve never seen it so blatant and obvious.

Independent media (Pate) has but corporate sports media owns CFB. They aren’t going to call out their own product.

Bet yeah, it’s been beyond obvious with Miami.

Lots of big games today but with an expanded playoff, these games just aren't that meaningful. Only thing that gets affected is the pecking order and who gets a bye week - if even that.

Like it or not, Miami is likely headed to the playoffs.

Illinois has taken a 21-7 lead on Michigan in the third quarter.

[OregonFan4Life]

Illinois up 21-7 on Michigan, Michigan just simply isn’t that good and Illinois is a solid team, ducks should be able to beat both teams if they show up though. I’m looking pretty dumb for picking Michigan to win this game.

[SuperDuck]

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?

I think they'll all be back at least one more year. Venables has had multiple injuries, including their top-5 WRs, as well as 2 freshman QBs to work with.

Norvell is having an awful season, but you can't ignore the success he had last year. He deserves one more year.

Mike Gundy might be asked to "retire" at some point, but I can't see him ever being fired. He's a former player and alum.

[SuperDuck]

I think Miami is overrated. They are a very good offensive team, but not on defense.

[SuperDuck]

I think Indiana is for real. Honestly, I hope we don't have to play them.

[GrandpaDuck]

The blow causing Ward to lose his grip was obviously before it was moving forward so while the ball went forward it doesn't appear he had control in his hand before it started forward but I see nothing conclusive to overturn the call on the field either way they called it. I am with those who think 3 game saving calls in a row is not coincidence.

The good news is that they'll be bringing Cristobol with them.

They aren’t on the schedule but we could potentially face them in Indianapolis for the B1G championship or in the playoffs. We will find out how good they are on Nov 23rd when they travel to Ohio State.

[squintsdd]

I'm not on the Indiana hype train yet. They haven't played anyone. They stomped a Nebraska team that really hasn't played anyone except Colorado, and Colorado is just garbage also.

Indiana gets a play a really down Michigan team in 3 weeks as their first real contest. We'll see then how good they are

Down goes Bama...breaks my heart
