I just started watching the Oregon vs Michigan game, only to realize it’s that idiot Gardner again, but now slurping his team. He’s just terrible.

Same here. I flipped it to USC-IU to watch a USC player cheap shot an Indiana player on the kick-off.

Edit to clarify - IU was kicking off. They kicked it into the end zone and the IU players were jogging to the end zone. The USC player put a shoulder into the IU guy running by.

Well you could argue an 8 hour overnight bus ride (due to circumstances beyond the team's control) has more impact on the competitive aspect of the game, or at the very least comparable, to my original point that this isn't some grand conspiracy against Oklahoma.

Perhaps. But other teams like Kstate got no sleep last night because of the travel disruption and played today.

Not exactly. K-State's players went home for the night and their flight took off at 7:30 this morning.

Different than what I heard. Now that I see the schedule not as bad as I thought but not know when they would depart until 1:30 AM probably didn’t result in a much sleep.

Is there really a chance that had Indiana lost this game they would be left out of the CFP? Why do the announcers keep saying that?

USC really blew a couple drives in the red zone. Indiana going to win again. If there was a way for both teams to lose, that would be great.

Final score in Nashville: Tennessee State 13 EIU 12

Today was the final game for Tennessee State at Nissan Stadium in Nashville as the new Titans Stadium will be opening next year. It was a nice bookend for the Tigers as EIU was their first conference opponent when the stadium opened in 1999.

You could argue it, sure. But every other team figured it out…some at a slight disadvantage to themselves most likely. Many games stayed on schedule and some postponed a few hours (to give the players more rest I’m guessing).

The Oklahoma AD isn’t complaining about a grand conspiracy, he’s advocating for his people (fans, workers, players, et al). It’s exactly what he should do and he’s making sure the world knows the SEC gave him no recourse because Ole Miss was the only team in the nation unable to figure out a solution to the problem.

Unless you can show me another team whose plane wasn't permitted to fly due to FAA regulations that was able to get another plane and/or crew to a small airport, or one that took an 8-10 hour bus ride to play their game today, the fact that every other team made it is irrelevant.

Arizona-Utah is a good game at the half (17-14 Utah). Pac-10 after dark is back! Utah's qb has run for both TDs. They were hyping him on the broadcast as a main Heisman threat (I'd personally like to see Jeremiah Smith win).

AZ looks good. They have the other Mizell brother and their QB escapes pressure pretty well. They play fast and their QB has been accurate. I hope we don't see them in a bowl game.

I'm predicting that College Gameday will go to Champaign next weekend. South Carolina and LSU losing leaves them with no solid games, so Illinois playing an Iowa team with a CFP path (and getting to visit a new city for them) makes sense, especially since Big Noon is elsewhere. I don't see a much better option, but they might go FCS and go to Fenway for Harvard-Yale.
