derrickdj1 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Who would have tought that the Tide would have this much trouble with Texas A&M. Sore in the 3rd quarter 14-13 A&M up by 1. Is it time for a new #1 in the polls this week. Who needs that target on their back every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Man, Michigan sure looks good this year. I think Ohio State is about the only challenge left for them. I would love to see them win it this year. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure are a different team since Harbaugh took over. I mean three quarterbacks, six running backs. Depth on top of depth.

wvu80 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I don't want to be an expert on the internet, but I kind of wondered if the Buckeyes might be the first top 4 team to choke because they have not been dominating lately. Still, who would have seen them going down due to a blocked FG in the last few minutes that was returned for a game-winning touchdown? My 12th ranked Mountaineers are rolling merrily along beating a high scoring TCU. The Mountaineers feature a pretty good defense, a consistent offense and marginal special teams, in particular kick returns. They don't look like world beaters just yet but credit where credit is due with a 6-0 record. They will be favored in their final 6 games except for #9 Baylor, to be played at Mountaineer Field in the last game of the regular season. +++ Is anybody following Oklahoma and Texas Tech? They are scoring points like it's an NBA All-star game! Currently OK is up 66-59, with several national records set for offense, combined yards, TT has 734 yards passing. Unreal.

JL Sargent Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The Tide beat the 6th ranked team in the country by 19. Don't think they're gonna drop in the polls. Ohio State? Now that's another matter. Penn State was unranked handing the Buckeyes their first loss of the season. Clemson back to #2 I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Finally, a big win for Pennstate! Where has that defense been? It will be fun for the next couple of days picking on my friends that are die hard Buckeye fans. Go PSU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think the Buckeyes didn't choke, Wisconsin and Indiana beat them up a bit even though they won. Michigan deserves to be #2. Nebraska should also move up in the ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 WEEK 9 - POLLS http://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings Michigan up to #2. That seems about right. Ohio State dropped 4 places to #6 in the AP Poll, doesn't seem like enough of a drop. The Coaches Poll ranked them #8 which does seem like the proper drop. Washington at #4 and now in the Playoffs? I'm not a believer. My Mountaineers at #10? There are three 1-loss teams in front of them. WVU has a good 6-0 record and looks solid, not great. Undefeated Western Michigan at #20? I don't think they would beat any of the 5 teams ranked below them, North Carolina, Navy, Colorado, Penn State, Virginia Tech. One sports writer has WM playing WVU in the Cotton Bowl! Houston dropped from #11 ALL THE WAY OUT of the top 25! Penn State jumped into the Top 25 based on their blocked field goal returned for a TD to beat Ohio State. Cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Dave, have you seen Washington play? They look terrific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I've seen a few highlights of Washington making big plays on inferior opponents but I've never watched an entire game. There is no doubt though, they score lots of points and people don't score on them, they are in the top ten for points both offensively and defensively. They jumped up in the rankings early in the season due to thumping highly ranked Stanford and after the Cardinal has proven to be overrated the AP voters haven't adjusted accordingly to the weaker strength of schedule (49th place!). Alabama has the 8th toughest SOS, Michigan has SOS of 18th. Third ranked Clemson has the 3rd toughest SOS. Note: Everybody seems to have their own version of how to calculate SOS so the following link is not official. I would take the rankings with a grain of salt. https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get in his way. Notice how he aims for the defender. He rolled him. http://www.tigerdroppings.com/lsu-football/watch-leonard-fournette-destroys-ole-miss-safety-deontay-anderson/66369943/ He had been out for 4 weeks with an ankle injury. In the post game interview he said he was out of shape. He'll be in shape for the November 5 homer with Bama. CBS 7PM game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
