UCLA playing Fresno as their last game is so weird, lol.

College Gameday heading to College Station next Saturday for Texas/Texas A&M. Winner of that game will face Georgia in the SEC Championship game.

CBS must have had the pick over NBC for this week's games. Given NBC's connections to Notre Dame, the idea that NBC would willingly pick Washington-Oregon over ND-USC seems pretty implausible.

Not necessarily. It's a home game for USC so I could see a scenario where CBS picked it as their game.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Purdue - IU at 6:00 PM. Interesting.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

Not necessarily. It's a home game for USC so I could see a scenario where CBS picked it as their game.

That's where I was going. If CBS had the top pick over NBC, then they absolutely would have picked ND-USC. If NBC had the pick over CBS, they also would have picked that game.

Admittedly, Washington-Oregon on a Saturday night at Autzen will be a great atmosphere. But TV is concerned about ratings, and ND-USC will still be the higher-rated game.

 

[OrangeBlue98]

I'm also guessing that UCLA never thought they would be the 2:30 PM "spillover channel" game on BTN when they signed up for this . . .

Where's Loyalty at on Hunter vs. Jeanty for the Heisman?

 

[BillyBob1]

Not much publicity for this years Michigan/Ohio state game!

3 loss Bama with a 8 conf game schedule in the playoffs undermines everything. There reay isn't another ranked 2 loss team that can be in the playoff??

Looking forward to seeing another scUM butt kicking this weekend.

That makes me happy, a strike against the notion that only two legacy brands can get people tuned into a football game.

People wanted to see Indiana face the big time challenge.

 

[SampsonRelpenk]

I'll be rooting hard for the Huskers tonight. I really want sole possession of 5th place (first non-playoff team) in the first year of the 18 team B1G. Also, despite being on team #wehateemall, Nebraska fans are generally super nice.

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

Wonder how concerned Wisconsin is getting with this direction...

Wonder how concerned Wisconsin is getting with this direction...

Already fired the OC, so anything short of 8 wins probably puts Fickell on the hot seat

Glad to see the Badgers miss out on bowl eligibility. Go exploit it on the recruiting trail!

 

[Navy_illini]

Where's Loyalty at on Hunter vs. Jeanty for the Heisman?

I like Jeanty. Ran over 125 yards in every game including against Oregon. Lowest yards in a game was 128 against a good UNLV team.

Hunter is good and is a two way player but there is a lot of hype. Hunter was not the leading receiver in 7 games by my count.

Jeanty has put up numbers comparable to Barry Sanders

 

[ChiefKingfisher]

Wisconsin finishes the season not bowl eligible. You hate to see it

 

[OskieWowWow]

You love to see it. If we beat Northwestern, Bielema gets to chill and recruit in Florida with a good bowl game while Wisconsin is freezing their butts off at home in January. Bet Alvarez is kicking himself each day for letting him walk

He would have had closer to 300 yards today had it not been for a few penalties today. Didn’t like their play calls in red zone. He easily could have gotten his 30th TD of the season today if they had stuck w him more.
