Frank nailed it. The panel gets it pretty much spot on but the fourth, fifth and sixth ranked teams can cause debate.

 

I am always pissed off that the Badgers aren't in the four every year but they seem to make the 10 very often. Wouldn't change my loyalties though. Been to Camp Randall a few times and am hooked.

 

Still enjoy watching some of the other games though. The Aggies, Michigan, Alabama and a few others can throw up some great games when they aren't demolishing some easy beats.

ESPN have the badgers at 11 after this week.

Barring unexpected results i can see the SEC title coming down to Alabama vs whoever wins in the Georgia Florida game in Jacksonville in 4 weeks if Georgia or florida wins that then they'll join Bama and Clemson in the top 4

Watched it live Frank.

 

I can't tell you in appropriate words what an experience it is to attend a game there.

 

They sing this song "Varsity" before the game. Alumni in their 70's alongside kids with tears streaming down their face. A bit nuts I give you but quite moving all the same.

I  meant in their rankings rather than on the telly.

 

Some of the college traditions are bloody strange but spectacular to watch.

 

At trip to Athens Ga to see the bulldogs between the hedges is on my bucket list.

 

The mrs and i have grand plans of a US road trip for our 10yr anniversary taking a good chunk of the East of yankland hopefully take in Heinz field too

Sorry mate - genuine misunderstanding!

Ravens or dolphins. Who's the most embarrassing that's the Question

 

I knew The ravens were bad before last week but dolphins losing to the jets of all teams miserably and then this possibly tips it in their favour

The Ravens by far more embarrassing, to get blown away by the Jags of all teams.

The Saints were favourites going into the game and were a bit bobbins themselves

Jags who are 2-1 and who were beaten by a good looking Tennessee team this year?

 

Jets shouldn't be putting that many points on the board in half a season never mind one game.

 

Miami will be lucky to go 4-8 at best this season

 

Jags will have a better record imo

broncos defence completely stopped the raiders run game last night which won them the game

 

thought the raiders was gonna win it on the final drive with the replacement QB on though

Any news on Carr yet?

 

Hopefully nothing more serious than a sore back.

MRI today

 

He said he will play weekend though, fingers crossed

 

We actually looked better after he went off

Posted

Backup QB fared much better, getting rid of the ball quicker.

 

Though Denver switched off when Carr went off and became too complacent.

...but, for a team renowned as being all about defensive strength, that was some one handed catch touchdown by A.J. Derby.

Certainly was.

 

had that ponce Beckham caught it, the media would have wanked themselves into a frenzy.

That one edelman/amendola (I get em mixed up) caught in the superbowl is the best catch I've ever seen.

 

Aj Derby one yesterday was made better by the seeming lack of effort he caught it with. Like catching the football at arms length one handed was just an everyday thing.

Aye, you are right. Don't quite get it unless it's a NYcentric thing or he just has the 'modern' image.

 

I think he looks like a like he's trying to mimic some sort of exotic parrot but then again, I suspect he wouldn't think much of a Mod bouffant or a no. 2 with a shaved in parting.
