NCAA Football 2017 Week #12

Another quality win against a ranked opponent and Bucky goes to 11-0 and 32-6 over the last 3 seasons. And I bet they still won't get any respect.

Miami, Alabama, Clemson all won (some in real cupcake matches), assuming Oklahoma wins Wisconsin probably stays #5 for now. But lots of stuff can still happen, Alabama still plays Auburn, there is an SEC title game, ACC has its own championship game pitting Clemson vs Miami, just win against Minnesota and they'll likely get in.

Edit: Oops, the Big Ten has a championship game too, forgot about that. :hyper: But yeah, win out and they are likely in.

I thought they were doomed halfway through the third. Offense had 95 yards in the first 40 minutes, just putrid. Just after I texted my buddy that, boom! They completed that long pass and were off to the races.
 
At the end of the third quarter, the Princeton and Dartmouth football players went home and let their respective basketball teams finish the game.
Dartmouth outscored Princeton 34-17 in the fourth quarter to win the game 55-44.

Do you feel like people on the outside just think he is riding Barry Alvarez's coat tails?

-Mike
no, I don't Mike. Chryst was not a flashy hire. Alvarez knew what he was getting. Chryst grew up in Madison. Played for the Badgers. Was an assisted coach here before landing the head coach job at Pitt. Barry's been way in the background this year.

Ahhh, perfect coach. He's a Badger through and through.
I wondered if maybe he just inherited a great program Barry built.

And Yale beat Harvard for the second year in a row to win an undisputed Ivy championship. No basketball players in that one.

I believe that was the first time beat Harvard in the Yale Bowl in like 17 years.
First Ivy League title for Yale since 1980.
Dartmouth finishes the year in third place, one game back. Below Columbia since they lost to the Lions earlier in the season.

I missed this rumor....Jimbo Fisher to Texas A&M after Sumlin is fired.
Speaking of the Aggies, they collected $194,388,450 in revenue over 2015-16. Higher than any other NCAA school (source: USA TODAY Sports. Also includes a link to how they got those numbers). This I did not know and would probably not have been one of my guesses for the top five.

UW almost was a synonym for Loses to Utes. The UW kicker got a chance at redeeming himself right at the end, and he didn't fail. That's got to be one of the most improbably wins in UW history.

And now, my friend, it's ALL ON!! We're playing for the PAC-12 North Championship! This could be the most interesting Apple Cup in years.
