Other games weekend of 11/17-11/19

MSU ****ing throws it on the 2pt conversion when they haven't been able to pass for **** the whole day. Idiots.
 
Love the call by D'Antonio to got for 2, if, IF, IF, IF, his QB wasn't so lame, and LJ Scott wasn't burnt out by having just carried the ball on literally every play of the TD drive.

Ever hear of OT?

Everyone, including me, has.

I don't love the call, but the argument for it is that you need to stop tOSU and score again in regulation or do the same thing in OT to win if you take the 1; now they still have to stop tOSU and score again but can only do it in regulation, so not a huge loss for not getting the 1 point.

Conversely, the reward if you make the 2 pointer is that you now only have to stop tOSU if you make it.
 
MSU can't make a bowl. Right call to be aggressive. Also makes OSU more conservative anyway. FG wins it now. Go Sparty!!!
 
MSU going to get the ball back with 2 minutes and no time outs. Tough go for them with their inability to throw
 
Uggh, Michigan State needs to beat Pedo St next week.

**** Ohio State, if they don't win the B1G 10, they don't belong in the CFP.

Sorry, I don't buy it. I think they would rather be in OT right now with a chance to win, than have just lost.

If they go 11-1 they'll have a hell of an argument with wins at OU, at Wisconsin, and against Michigan, and a 3-point loss at raucous Happy Valley in a game they controlled most of the way. Just because a team doesn't win their conference doesn't mean they still can't be one of the four best teams in the country.

Well, when you start from the logical premise that there is "zero benefit" to making a 2 point conversion that gives you a lead late in the game, there's just no arguing with you.

Anyone think that UCLA picks off USC today? I think it will be close, UCLA grasping at a last gasp for bowl eligibility. Same goes for Cal against Stanford.

If both Buffs and Utes win today, USC is eliminated from the South race before they ever take the field. In that case, I can see USC possibly mailing it in and losing to UCLA.

Utah is surprisingly NOT blowing out Oregon. Only leading 7-3 at the half. Anything can happen I guess.

Yeah, it's all about that balance between most accomplished teams and best teams. The playoff, to my mind, should be about the most accomplished teams; if you just want to crown the best teams, then just go back to the traditional bowls. The CFP sets an objective standard (win 2 playoff games) for the championship, I think winning your conference should be an objective standard that you have to meet to win the title.

Just like people that try to justify not running Marshawn Lynch in the SB vs. NE. It was a giant ****-up by Carroll.

Just admit D'Anontio ****ed up and quit trying to justify a horrible call. But I guess there's no arguing with you.

Just going off what I saw from MSU today. The offense was propped up by a few big plays, which is neutralized in OT. Add in the wind and it is basically trying to trade TDs with OSU in OT, not a winning formula.
