The last Mr.Ohio(aka Mr. Football) to win the Heisman was Charles Woodson.

Okay, so does LSU hop over OSU in the next coaches poll?
Real question is whether the Committee jumps them.

Also,.for those who want two God's Conference teams in the playoffs, today was the best result: Putting an Alabama team with a close loss to the topish team up against one loss champs for that last slot.


I think Bama needs a lot of help now.

Good thing Trump's in town, he'll get Federal disaster aide and paper towels to wipe up the flood of tears in Tuscaloosa.

Okay SKIPPY doesn't care.

The best hope of Alabama is for LSU to be number one in Committee rankings.
That’s a fact.

I am glad he was able to go to Alabama and see its recovery from the devastating effects of Hurricane Dorian.

Week 11 Notes



LSU’s win
The 46-41 drubbing of the Tide was the worst loss for Nick Saban  at Alabama.

It could have been worse. Up 46-34 with 2 minutes to go the Tigers opted to forgo a prevent defense and ‘Bama scored on an 85 yard run.
Get set for an Alabama spin of “ only” losing by five to number 1.
BTW, Saban is now 0-2 against OSU back-up quarterbacks. :)

Minnesota is 9-0 for the first time since 1904.
Saturday’s 31-26 win vs. No. 4 Penn State was the Gophers’ first win against an AP top-10 team since 2000 and first home win against a top-10 team since 1977.

Penn State second guessing.
It was not Penn State’s finest performance. The Lions were 2-6  in TDS in the red zone. At the end of the first half with no timeouts PSU was inside the ten and hurried a fourth down call.  Which was an incomplete pass. Had they taken 3 that big second half comeback would have set them up for a winning field goal instead of needing a TD on the last drive.

Wake Forest’s loss to Va.Tech cost it a shot(albeit a long one) at an ACC Atlantic Division title which could have been decided next week against Clemson. Instead CLEMSON clinched beating NC STATE.
But the Deacons’ loss also put another chink in Clemson’s woeful SOS.
If Wake drops out of the top 25 that will leave Clemson with no top 25 wins( along with Alabama).
 
What a Parlay
All nine active division one teams in Louisiana won yesterday.

LSU, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Lafayette, Louisiana Monroe, Northwestern State, Nicholls, Southern, Grambling State and Southeastern Louisiana.

First time ever.

Burrow started for LSU in 2018, so that is at least one win against former OSU backups.

You are correct. My bad for forgetting that.

Quiet. You don't care. Go to the knitting forum.

Wake Forest did drop out of the top 25 after losing to Virginia Tech.
That’s to the immediate benefit of 7-2 Indiana who did not play yesterday and moved from unranked to # 24, one of 7 B1G  teams in the AP Top 25.
Next week the Hoosiers travel to Happy Valley where now # 9 Penn State will be trying to avenge a loss to Minnesota and keep its division and CFP hopes alive.
The Gophers are in rarefied air (number 7) and will play #23 Iowa next week on the road with a two game lead over the Hawkeyes and Wisconsin in the West Division.

Oklahoma (10) dropped a spot even though it beat unranked Iowa State. But the Sooners could have easily lost after blowing a 3 touchdown lead. Iowa State spurned OT and gambled on a 2 point conversion in the waning seconds and lost. The Sooners go to Waco to meet #12 Baylor( undefeated) this week. The Two teams may meet again in the Big 12 Championship.

Other games with ranked teams as opponents:
GEORGIA #5 at AUBURN #12
NAVY #21 at NOTRE DAME #16

Chad Morris fired at Arkansas. A God's Conference team getting blown out by Western Ken Fucking Tuckey will do that to you. Word is that Paul Chryst is atop their wish list.

Oh! Those “ sure things” bets.

With about a minute to go in the Baylor/TCU game the Horned Frogs led 9-6.
The over/under on the game was 51
Baylor ties the game with a 51 yard field goal.
3 Ot’s later the Bears win 29-23.
The over/under becomes 52.

I think in this age the scouts are just as important as the head coach. While teams at the top are just cherry picking the best players, the lower echelon guys need to do a better job of evaluating and developing the so-called three stars. So many teams out there these days are just content to rely on the ranking services to formulate their pick lists. If you're going to get the leavings, then get the best of them.
