Heard UCLA/Indiana may get the Big Noon treatment.

Ole Miss/OU and TAMU/LSU could be games to knock teams out of the CFP and BYU is quietly doing BYU things.

South Florida @ Memphis

Ha! Before the season, who woulda guessed this would be a game of interest going into Week 9. I'll probably watch.

Amazing. Yes, the Bruins have certainly turned around their season. But they're still 25-point dogs for this game. It will be quite something if they're really able to make it a game.

Indiana is crushing UCLA, I find Indiana fascinating cause the more I watch them the more I realize they just play smart disciplined football and feed off of undisciplined play by the opponents. Not to sound like a hater but Moore and Stein gave that game away and if they bring their A game in a rematch I think Oregon wins by 2+ scores.

They're also way better along both lines than people give them credit for. It feels odd to say they have elite lines but the numbers certainly would support that position.

Remember when Neuheisel was an obvious upgrade over Stein? Last 2 games the offense has very much come down to Earth after some tape has gotten out on him.

I don’t know if it’s elite as much as they play bigger than they are and it catches opposing lines off guard. SportsChat503 mentioned he talked to Alex Harkey after the loss and he even said “they were better than we expected”.

I just think it comes down to scheme, if you look at the box score and see 6 sacks you think they dominated our OLine, when in reality Dante Moore ran into 4 sacks where the protection was just fine.

Iowa seems to have figure things out and they look really good, I think they’re the 4th best team in the B1G only behind Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon. That will be a very tough road game off of the bye. If Oregon plays against Iowa like they did against Penn State or Indiana they will lose.

10 minutes to go with South Carolina is up 22-14 on Alabama.

If Alabama's losses are to outright bad teams in Florida State and South Carolina, but has wins against mid tier teams like Vandy, Georgia, and Missouri, are they in or out?

You know there will be an argument made to keep them in... again.

Nevermind everyone. South Carolina is too good at losing for this to happen.

Edit: Thought this was the game thread, oops.

SEC bottom feeders are absolutely allergic to pulling off upsets. Absolutely awful collapse by Mississippi St. SCar’s wasn’t as bad, but also gave it away at the end.
