Week 8 CFB Overreaction Thread

Bryson Dailey for Heisman!

Raise your hand if you had Alabama, Michigan, OU and USC all with 2+ losses before Halloween. Incredible season so far. L's by these teams to the likes of Washington, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Illinois, Maryland, etc.

Boise vs Georgia for the CFB Championship

SC Gamecocks can beat any team in the country and also lose to any team in the country.

My Maize and Blue are going away for a couple of years... without any NCAA ban hammer

Looks like "September Maryland" showed up in mid-October. I wanna say this could be a springboard for a nice run, but with UO and PSU coming up soon, objectively I can't. Still in great shape for another 7 reg-season wins and a bowl, which would be 4 straight.

As for said Trojans....not sure what you do. Riley tried to upgrade the staff and there's definite improvement, but it just ain't working so far. Moss is a soldier but can only do so much. But they paid LR all that $$, let him figure it out. Not going anywhere for ~3 years minimum with that buyout anyway.

I like your optimism but 3 wins on the remaining schedule is tough. Loss the cushion games that were very much needed


The Michigan State play calling and penalties gave that game away
Getting 4 turnovers for negative yards against Indiana is unbelievable
Being bullied by Northwestern for the entire Locksley run is WTF

So then you look at the remaining games

@ Minnesota - push
@ Oregon - blow out incoming
Rutgers - should be a win but
Iowa - it's Iowa it'll be like 15-3 - Maryland loss and Howes is going to miss at least 3. Or Iowa's D will get like 4 TO TD's and help blow it out
@ Penn State - we have a chance to do something funny here, but you know history is not on our side.

-If I check the Coral Gables score and they're down by two scores with time, I automatically assume they'll win. And that's not a praise of them at all.

-Being a Carolina fan this season has to feel like being on a shoddy roller coaster.

-I'll admit I'm a horrible hater because UF getting six wins (IF they win today) is dependent upon a team implosion by Kiffin and/or Kellz.

-Odds are Coach OAN and OK. St. won't go winless in conference, but even if they do, he'd still look better than Venables. Losing the last Bedlam and that drubbing by UT last week is a horrible look.

-I'm rooting for Tony Elliott and UVA. Maybe they can play spoiler to teams with playoff aspirations.

- You hate to see it, but Dabo has them playing like "Tyler from Spartanburg" is in his headset the whole game.

Unfortunately I was right.



Hopefully we keep the Malik commit
