Anyone else excited for COLLEGE FOOTBALL?

[Alabama Slammer]

Maybe I'm biased, but I'd say this season has been relatively entertaining so far.

You are biased but you have every right to be. Being a Bama fans all but guarantees you will be playing meaningful games in January.
Despite playing inferior opponents up to 3 times a season. C'mon, enough of that "cupcake" games. Play some legit teams from big conferences for a change.

I don't know why I'm even humoring you since you can't even manage the simplicity of the quote function, but, OOC P5 teams Alabama has played since 2008:

2008 - Clemson
2009 - Virginia Tech
2010 - Penn State, Duke
2011 - Penn State
2012 - Michigan
2013 - Virginia Tech
2014 - West Virginia
2015 - Wisconsin

And oh yeah, USC on the schedule for next year. Not to mention the SEC schedule every year.

Now, let's look at Oklahoma over the same time period:

2008 - Washington
2009 - Miami
2010 - FSU
2011 - FSU
2012 - Notre Dame
2013 - Notre Dame
2014 - Tennessee
2015 - Tennessee

Hmmmm. Awfully similar scheduling philosophies there Matardo. On the bonus, you get guaranteed victories against Kansas and Iowa State every season.

Guess you can shut right the fuck up about strength of schedules.

now i know why Bob Stoops hates the SEC so much. you fuckers feel entitled and every year you want to convince everybody that the SEC is the toughest conference from top to bottom.
go ahead and schedule USC for a change. that is a step in the right direction. now make sure you don't forget about
Middle Tennessee or UL Monroe or Charleston Southern(a week 12 match up)
now in 2016, after the week 1 USC game, Bama goes back to the well and faces W. Kentucky, Kent State and some team named Chattanooga Mocs
please explain those 3 very, very marquee match up please?

You fucking nimrod, let's look at the rest of Okie's OOC games:

2008 - Chattanooga (look familiar dummy?), Cincinnati
2009 - BYU, Idaho State (WTF?), Tulsa
2010 - Utah State, Air Force, Cincinnati (OK, that one's pretty good)
2011 - Tulsa, Ball State
2012 - UTEP, Florida A&M
2013 - ULM, Tulsa
2014 - La Tech, Tulsa
2015 - Akron, Tulsa

So... did you notice the pattern there? Both schools have the exact same scheduling philosophy, 1 P5 team, and then usually 2 G5 teams. Sure, Bama gets the annual FCS team due to only playing 8 conference games, but Okie still gets Kansas (50 - 84 over the last 10 years) and Iowa State (48 - 87 over the past 10 years) every season.

Again, did you happen to miss the fact that, since 2008, Alabama has actually played MORE P5 OOC games than Oklahoma has? Oh. No. I guess you just chose to ignore that fact. You can argue with numbers all day long, but in the end, 1+1 is still 2, and you're still the dumbest motherfucker on these forums.

look at you. how convenient that you did not go into the 2016 OU
Sooners football schedule. i am pretty sure you saw the schedule and failed to note that here.
let's, see, OU in 2016 will open up at Houston vs Cougars and also play Ohio State in the 1st of a home n home series.
game over for you.
in 2016 your Tide cannot compete with OU in terms of the OOC schedule.
your team has the cupcakes. 3 of 'em

Don't waste your time, Slammer. He doesn't do will with logic.

[Alabama Slammer]

OU in 2016 will open up at Houston vs Cougars and also play Ohio State in the 1st of a home n home series.

Houston is still a G5 team dumbass.

Don't waste your time, Slammer. He doesn't do will with logic.

I know, but it's kinda funny to watch him dance.

Houston is up and coming and they beat FSU by 14 points about a week ago. So yeah, I'll say Houston is a tough opponent. G5 or not.

You don't care to admit the 3 cupcakes that Bama schedules almost annually. You also don't want to talk about how Bama schedules one of those cupcake games late in the year. Just for the revenue of course.
WEAK-SAUCE

[Frett_Bored]

The only issue I have with Bama's OOC schedule is where they play. They seem to have an issue with home-and-homes.

USC, Wisconsin, Michigan, VaTech, Clemson, and West Virginia are/were neutral site games played in the Georgia Dome or Texas. They only traveled to Happy Valley to play Pedo State.

There's a big difference between playing Wisconsin in Texas versus Camp Randall, or having to travel out west to play Southern Cal.

That being said, they should have no trouble with Clemson.

[Machado]

Final score prediction

Clemson 27
Bama 24

[Gritt]

I honestly have no real handle on this game but I think Clemson may be a team of destiny this year. I took Clemson +7 and I think they win outright.

Clemson 27
Alabama 17

I only played one game over the weekend and won that game. Just unsure I want to play the game tonight. My 1st instinct is to lay the points because I have to think "everybody" is going to take 7 points in the game tonight.
Undecided!

[Gritt]

I went 3-1 on the nfl this weekend so I just put a little on this game.

[Machado]

I took Bama - 6.5

Why would you bet that and then predict a three point game?

its called changing your mind. we all do it.

[cantstopthemusic]

Great game.

Bama made the crucial plays when it counted most.

[BodyBagz]

All the doubters and naysayers...Roll fucking Tide!

[DSAB]

Great game. Clemson's QB, their defense stopping the run up the middle (mainly) and that white kid out there catching passes were all pretty tip top. But Bamas kids were better. Finally something fun to watch.

[Crazy Levi]

All the doubters and naysayers...Roll fucking Tide!

Yeah, cause the 7 point favorites and perrenial champs have so many doubters and naysayers. This was a real case of David overcoming adversity and defeating Goliath in this shocking upset.


Where do people come up with this shit?

[Gritt]

Clemson covered. I'll take it.

[Machado]

Clemson covered. I'll take it.

Gritt-That was a bad beat. I missed the game(working) but saw the highlights late last night. Can't blame Bama for allowing that late TD pass.
Pretty much lost what I won with that Steelers game vs Cincy

I'm usually on the wrong end of those back door covers so I'll gladly take it.

Is it 9 months until week 1 of the 2016 College Football season?

TBH, I might watch the game later this week on replay. I heard it was a game for the ages. Just a little bitter for losing this bet

[Alabama Slammer]

That was one helluva football game that got played last night. I'm obvously pleased with the outcome, but I hate that Clemson had to lose. That was one outstanding football team.

[eddie lee roth]

Can any of you guys get that much excited about signing day? I can't help but think it's just a little to much for me to get all worked up about.

Every year around here the same old BS goes about how Texas is stockpiling a bunch of talent but then it doesn't seem to add up when the shit gets real.

I will say TX A&M joining up with the SEC seems to have opened up a lot of TX HS talent going elsewhere besides the usual Big 12 teams thanks a lot you bastards.

If your a Michigan fan you can't help but think the Jim Harbaugh hire is nothing less than a home run. He's a damn good coach.

Signing day is a joke. Who cares that that kid and this kid looked into the tv camera and put a hat on his head.
NFL teams don't pay attention. Why should anybody?

[Alabama Slammer]

NFL teams don't pay attention. Why should anybody?

Because:

Since 1996, all but one of the consensus national champions has had at least two top 10 classes in the four years leading up to their natty.

I'm not a recruiting geek by any stretch of imagination... in fact, I don't follow it at all... but there is a legitimate reason to pay attention to who signs where.

all but one had two top 10 classes,
well that's not a reach for a stat now is it? listen, IMO, these kids do not need any of the hype. how about that kid who did the hat dance and said he was taking his talents to X college for 3 years. sorry but that is a sad state of affairs. the kid is 1 serious knee injury away from having to study really hard because that NFL career won't be there.
i hate how ESPN exposes these kids. i dislike how the kids are led to believe they are x-tra special, when in fact they are just a high school kid who might commit a crime in school and never finish their collegiate career.

That's not a reach you bufoon. It's proof. It's damn near impossible to win a natty if you're not consistently bringing in the top talent in the country.

But I do agree with you on every bit of that.

[Gritt]

you bufoon.

You could have stopped there.
