NCAA Football 2011 - Week 7

[Kaa]

The Wolverines are at a show me again game. Coming back from a deficit was a welcome change last week. Beating the other boys from Michigan will be a true test of this teams ranking. It's been fun so far but the Wolverines are the 2nd best in the Big 10 and maybe third best until they beat rival MSU... That run D is intimidating.

Hmmm. I'm still not sold on the Spartans. They've beaten weak teams, Cousins deperately tried to give the game away against Ohio State, and the got spanked by Notre Dame.

I think Big Blue will win by 2 TDs.

All of my friends here in Jax are Gator fans and i'll be partying with about 30 Gator fans for the game. So if you don't see me post for a while then, well, you'll know what happened.

Say hello for me! Jax is where I went to HS. Many very fond memories

When and what high school did you go to? What part of town did you live?

Is it just me or is too civil in these threads this year? Should we ramp up the jabbing a bit? Somebody PM Gard or something. Can't believe he's not in here with LSU ranked number one.

I'm headed to Knoxville. I'm a little less optimistic about our chances this week, but we had them cornered last season before a blown call cost us the game.

I have made a concerted effort to be more mellow about sports in general, so that is why I have backed off. I'll pop a shot at Lane Kiffin now and then or those wannabe-SEC conferences, but that's about it.

Hard for me to get ramped up right now after two blowouts.

I will say this: Boise State to the Big East would be ridiculous. Has anyone looked at a map?

Hockey thread mentality is spreading...

I was waiting for Saban to bolt back to the NFL before I did any more substantial trash talking.

Heh. I hope it's Brissett rather than Driskell. He showed poise in the pocket, he stepped up away from the pressure and made a few nice throws. It's hard to get a read on Auburn, but if everyone's healthy other than Brantley I think UF has a decent shot. Bama and LSU look so much better to me than anyone else in the SEC.

I agree almost entirely. Auburn is definitely tough to get a read on because they've been so inconsistent. I think the advantage has to go to Auburn with Brantley out and the game being in Auburn.
Something to watch for (imho), As I said a couple weeks ago, before the Fla/Ala game - Florida defense is soft against the run straight at them (power off-tackle). LSU and Bama both exploited that.
Fla's defensive advantage is team speed, particularly at linebacker. If Auburn runs right at Florida, I think they'll be successful and win. If Auburn tries to be tricky, running side line to side line Florida's defense will eat them alive.
--------------------------
My game of the week is GT vs Virginia. I just hope GT gets out of there with a win.

How long do you think it will be between the time he exits and the time they tear down his statue at Bryant-Denny? Hours? Days?

(puts his feet up, lights a victory cigar)

well we had to sweat this one today, but LSU just barely squeaked by 38-7 over the UT Rednecks.

it was touch and go there for awhile but i knew my tigers would do it....

won't even watch Vandy-Georgia, but I am NOT expecting great things from my Commodores.... c'mon BBall season!

 

[GregC]

Ridiculous noncall, auburn interfered with that punt. What a ripoff.

 

[BioDriver]

Florida-Auburn. This would have been a good game last year.

I would like to retract this statement as this is a very good game so far.

 

[vbsurfer3001]

Unlike the horrible performance Clemson is putting up......... Absolute crap....

 

[Eublet]

Roll Tide! I'm ready for LSU!

 

[vbsurfer3001]

Finally back in the lead, but damn! Do they even teach em how to wrap up anymore?

After this performance I wouldn't be surprised to see Wisconsin pass Oklahoma in the rankings. What is it with OU playing so horribly after a big game?

Bucky has played no one of substance 'cept Nebraska. Mich State should be a good game though and I suspect Illinois and Penn State.

They won by 30 points. Doubt there will be any move.
