We were having conversation earlier, what power 4 schools in the past 3 years have not had atleast a decent chunk wanting to fire there coach. I said Oregon, Texas, maybe Iowa state. Who else? What a sport
 
If BYU loses twice, ISU can still make the championship game at 11-1 with a loss to KSU and CU winning out. BYU plays at Utah and ASU, so that’s not a totally crazy scenario
 
Can ESPN just let people watch the game? These cutaways in the middle of the action are ******* stupid.

Good one with San Diego St vs Wazzu. SDSU up 26-21, WSU has ball

Interesting call with whether the qb slid or not. To me, that’s a slide. If you don’t call that a slide, the defense has no chance to know whether they should tackle the QB or not. If you’re going to give these special rules to QB’s there has to be consequences and anything that looks like a slide has to be called as such.

Edit: And of course, they rule it not a slide, making it impossible to play defense and know what a late hit is and is not by the defense.

Interesting. Didn't realize the controversy with that.

They said Wazzu's coach doesn't like his qb to slide (to a certain extent at least). Is there an option for a QB though?

Edit: I mean QB can just keep going, but with concussions and other injuries, usually coaches want their qb to play it safe, but I suppose there are instances when qb can expose himself to a certain extent.
