Indiana up on Sparty by 10 early, and Kansas is hanging with K-State in Manhattan.

For some reason I'm watching this UCONN/Rutgers game...it's a snoozer, but I still have some interest in Rutgers, especially since they're undefeated...of course they're undefeated this year and not last year when I was there

Jawan Jamison is goooooood

Ohio hasn't seemed that great since beating PSU. Same today against Buffalo. I remember people talking about OU and a BCS bid earlier...delusional.

Very delusional. But remember, most OU fans never even see "their" team play. They just see the score and start saying how awesome they are.

I'm feeling too lazy to tell you how wrong you are.

This team's problem all year has been a slow start, and one of these days it will bite them in the ass and cost them a game that they should win had they played all 4 quarters. It still may today.

Side note: If Ohio can win today, and Northwestern loses and/or wins but finishes their game after Ohio, they will be the first bowl eligible team this year

I don't consider ppl on here those ppl. Ppl on here understand sports, for the most part. It's the idiots on my fb that think it and say stupid things.

Yep, if their game ENDS before the NU/PSU game, they can claim "first team to be bowl eligible" this year.

Name any school that is good that doesn't have that problem. Good BCS schools have more "fans" like that than OU has fans period, lol

Good point. If you're on here discussing the team (outside of the OU to the BCS comments), you're probably not in that group either.

Early nominations for "worst of the worst 10/6" version.

Auburn...being shut out at home by Arkansas.
Michigan State...down 13 to Indiana in the 3rd quarter.
Army/Navy...like I said, they literally might be a combined 1-21 when they face off.

Big time down year for Air Force.
Auburn is awful but I thought Arkansas was even worse. Just another reason I think Florida wins by 2 tds today.
Msu looks like its in years past mode, lose a couple big games and give up and tank.

K-State was down 14-7. It's 49-16. They can really put up points...

K-State/West Virginia in 2 weeks in Morgantown...watch out!

I really really like what o'brian is doing at penn st. He has made them a solid team despite all of the transfers. He is definitely not afraid to take chances either I believe he has gone for it on 4th down 18 times this year lol.

There's nothing for them to tank. They just aren't good.

Haha, Army and Navy might both erase double digit deficits and win. Nomination for worst of the week might be Boston College...

Still better then IU. Msu in the past would start out 5-0 or something. Be looking good, then get a loss and completely tank. It has that same look this year.

They just missed a monster hold on that mcgloin td. He's easy to dislike, dude dances around like he's some badass. Pretty sure he scored and did the discount double check.

They haven't looked good in 5/6 games now this year. They struggled with Eastern Michigan and probably the worst Boise State team in the past decade.

They just haven't been able to replace Cousins at QB. They took the lead now though.
