Wow, how bad is UConn's program right now?

Who was it like 7 years ago on JJ that predicted UConn would play for a national title within like a decade?

They are soooo good though lol

Well, in their defense, UCONN did lose their coach, Randy Edsall, to Maryland who took them to a BCS bowl.

True, but I remember him saying national championship. Also, that UConn team may have been the worst team EVER to play in a BCS Bowl.

He should've known that nobody in the Big East ever had a shot under this current system, and I don't see it continuing even with the playoff. The playoff is going to be dominated by the SEC, B1G and Pac 12. One other team may sprinkle in once a year, but I'd think it's safe to say those 3 conference winners are always going to be right there in the conversation.

Ehh..if I remember correctly USF had a legit shot that one year. I believe OSU would have played wvu in 07 if they could have beaten lowly Pitt. But def agree..no chance now

Well apparently Northwestern blows. Can't believe I thought they were a decent team.

South Carolina -7? That hasn't looked good all day :P. All your others are looking nice though.

I just had one big bet today. 150 on Purdue at +27.5 lol might have been the easiest bet I've made this year.

No way. Florida should drop out too.

Missouri, Auburn and LSU were better than people expected.

Florida, South Carolina and Georgia are all worse.

Missouri just pretty much won the SEC East.
Beat South Carolina at home and it is all but clinched.

Maty Mauk looked good too. Florida's offense is such garbage, but their D has been great this year. Missouri put it on them today like nobody else has this year. 500+ yards.

I still can't believe Will the Thrill can't find a QB...

Wow. 24-21, 3+ minutes still left. I've never seen worse defense. No wonder Houston is unbeaten but a 10-point underdog at home.

I thought OSU is suppose to be a championship caliber team? "No way a 25 wins in a row team misses out on the title game." LOL. Please save yourself from embarrassment in January. There are 10 teams at least who are better than OSU.

Yeah, if OSU makes the title game and the defense plays like this, they will get blown out again.

Today was a great day for Zips football. First win in Oxford since 1939, first road win since 08, first season with more than one win since 09, and first win over a D1 opponent since 2010.


Johnny Football already has 2 ints today. cant be lucky all the time.
