week 7 college football vectors - UP Indiana, Cokes, TexasTech, DOWN all "O state" teams, Penn State, Michigan

[EMH]

Just how good is Indiana? They went into Oregon and held the Duck O to 13 points, wow. Curt Cignetti looks like Coach of the Year so far. Bring on the Buckeyes, the Big 10(?)(cough cough really 18 not 10) has two top teams and a gap down to the next level. Indiana is really a complete football team, loaded.


da U (Cokes) = really good, they just crushed, chopped, and snorted the CrimiNoles a week earlier. All of a sudden Carson Beck looks like a good QB too, WTF? But the main thing about the U is their front four on D, loaded with top NFL Draft prospects. But if the Cokes are really back, then so should the Wonderlic test, because the last time they published the Wonderlic results, Cokes were indeed College Football's DUMBEST team.

Texas Tech lost their starting QB against Kansas and it didn't matter. TxTech always has a live offense, but this year they are a complete team with NFL Draft prospects on their DL too. Yeah, Big 12 is a weak conference, but TxTech looks head and shoulders better than anyone else.


The "O state" teams = Oregon, Oregon State, Onor Ull, and Dexter Manley University all lost. Mateer should not have played against the Horns. Arch Manning actually made a couple of good throws against Onor Ull. Dexter Manley University was in the Big 12 title game 2 years ago. Now Gundy is gone and, well, whoever they recruited straight out of jail isn't cutting it...


Penn State is having a post Oregon meltdown of Biblical proportions...


Michigan looked really bad against USC last night, and it wasn't even a Rose Bowl...

A boring college football season.

Well, it looks like Ohio State and Indiana will lock horns in the Big Ten Championship game, only to probably meet again in the playoff.

Not sure if Indiana will be transformed into a real contender from here on out, much like Urban Meyer transformed other programs like Utah into a national contender, or if they are just a flash in the pan.

At least Ohio State has some sort of competition this year in the Big Ten. LOL

I FUed, forgot Ohio begins with O....

early Sun am, a little fogbound....


Ohio State looks tough. Looks like IU and Ohio State do not play, until presumably Big 10 championship...

Not for Vandy fans!!!!

LOL!!!

BYU is lousy. Everything is "almost". Weak arm tacklers on defense. TT just runs through or around the slow footed weak white children apparently?

What happened? BYU coach was a monster a SJSU or HI? Now he's a puppy? They bring in backup QB looks like a 200lb 6th grader sort as Pillsbury dough boy.


TT is pretty good. But I saw them lose to ASU when ASU had very good starting QB Leavitt (out for year).

TexTech has an outstanding defense. Their O is good but there aren't any real stars on the O. I don't think they will get to the semis.

Love what Indiana and JMU did. Thanks, Duke.

Now I'm seeing ND has a 95% chance to make it, and Miami has a 22% chance. Miami beat them straight up and performed better against 3 of their 4 common opponents (according to their coach, I don't know who the common opponents were)

More of the country wants to watch ND in the playoff than Miami, so essentially, choosing ND is about what we always have known is what drives the bus:

ND always gets special treatment.

ND is also probably playing better football right now, so I understand that is part of the decision making.
