How are those pants even legal?

Kickers will be wearing gym shorts by next season.

 

[awd4cy]

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Penn State would want him.

They don’t. And Briles signing an extension with Nebraska this week is further proof.

 

[Gonzo]

I mean…
Oregon - not great and game at Kinnick
at USC - their toughest one yet but Trojans are meh
Michigan State - Lol
at Nebraska - Lol

Not hard to win those 4.

Oregon is #6 in the country.
USC will be inside the top-20.
Agree.
Nebraska beat the second best team in the Big 12.

We're going 2-2 in that stretch at best and finishing 8-4 at best. I won't be surprised if we go 1-3 in that stretch and finish 7-5.

I was not aware BYU played Nebraska this year.

Plenty of signs with Oregon that they will struggle in Kinnick.
USC has done what this year?
Iowa lost to the 12th best Big 12 team this year, do you think that’s really relevant? Plus if you guys are ranked, Nebraska will do it’s thing losing to you guys.

 

[Clonehomer]

Oklahoma in control with 4:00 left and up 2 scores. And they throw a pick on a 1st down play. Now Tennessee has a shot where the game should have been over.

They have a blowout win over a very solid and ranked Michigan team.

 

[ISU_Guy]

So I just saw that Colorado has been beat 106 to 24 in the last 8 quarters of football .

 

[BigJCy]

Cincy need that. Cuts it down to 10 point Utah lead early 3rd Qtr.

 

[KidSilverhair]

How are those pants even legal?

Those pants are not legal. College rules require all players to wear knee pads that actually cover the knee. Officials haven’t been enforcing that rule for years.

 

[Hoggins]

Best case scenario for the Big 12 is Tech beats BYU and BYU beats Cincy. That will mean 11-1 BYU vs 11-1 Tech for the Big 12 championship.

Or BYU beats Tech and Cincy, goes 12-0, and loses the Big 12 championship to a 10-2 team, ideally Tech. 10-2 team finishes 11-2, gets the auto bid and 12-1 BYU gets an at large

[Clark]

Silver linings if Iowa State’s tank job keeps Iowa out of the CFP. Even if it doesn’t really matter, a 10-2 Iowa team getting left out will convince themselves ISU falling apart is the reason. And that would be the only glimmer of positivity coming out of this season.

It wouldn't keep them out, they might even host a game in your scenario.

They aren't winning out, but if they did they'd have plenty of quality wins

After this weekend, I tend to agree. The ACC is a one bid league now. The Big12 will need BYU to run the regular season and then lose in the CCG to be a 2 bid league. So for the Big10 to be kept at 2 seems like a long shot.

SEC - 5
Big10 - 3
ACC - 1
Big12 -1
G5 - 1
ND - 1

But…..here’s a scenario. Miami finishes with 2 losses. If the committee wants to put ND in, do they also have to put Miami in since they beat ND? So that extra team would have to come from the Big10 or SEC. Is Iowa’s schedule good enough to knock out an SEC team?

That wouldn't be a good spot for ND. ND's best win will be USC. In that situation iowa also would have a win against usc (except Iowa would beat them on the road) and also Oregon

ND really needs Miami to lose again

 

[BigJCy]

Like Penn St. another starting QB Iowa won't have to face.

 

[exCYtable]

Like Penn St. another starting QB Iowa won't have to face.

It's laughable at this point. They play about one competent QB a year. Every. Single. Season.

 

[WartburgClone]

Like Penn St. another starting QB Iowa won't have to face.

It's truly amazing how they catch every lucky break imaginable and even those that are unimaginable.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Like Penn St. another starting QB Iowa won't have to face.

If they somehow beat Oregon, I think they are playoff bound.
