Today’s College Football Thread (Red River Rivalry Edition)

Four games between ranked teams today:

Morning
#13 Oklahoma vs. #15 Texas

Afternoon
#17 Stanford at #7 Notre Dame

Night
#3 South Carolina at #9 LSU
#22 Texas A&M at #23 Louisiana Tech

The highlight (for me) is the game between Oklahoma and Texas. Both teams have a loss this year, so the game isn’t quite the blockbuster that it sometimes can be. But the Cotton Bowl and the State Fair will still be packed. Definitely one of the great traditions and experiences in college football.

So who does your team play? What games are you looking forward to?

3. tough start for your horns, smackd, but

I never take anything for granted in this game.

Man, I wish I was there. It's been too long since I've been to one of these game.

7. yeah, the Sooners came to play today

We're clicking on both sides of the ball. And Texas has definitely missed some tackles.

11. Stanford vs. ND

Go Irish!

My Sun Devils already kicked butt, so I'm just looking forward to hanging out with Andre Reed tomorrow at the Cards'/Bills' game! Cannot wait!!

And then my Devils have the Ducks next week. Oh freaking my!

on edit: Is that Doug Flutie I see? What else could I ask for?

12. Down by 41 w/ 4:43 left to go.

Love it when the Horns get smacked! I must say this is a bit of a surprise....but they are totally over-rated this year.

[sendero]

13. I watched most of the first half..

... it was getting tedious. the Sooners were just walking all over the Horns' non-defense. Its gonna be a blowout.

[smackd]

14. bleah

umm...that's really all

bleah

[Rhythm]

15. My 'Eers got the crap smacked out of them by Texas Tech...

By halftime, i was so disgusted by our lack of defense that i just turned it over to AMC to watch the "Walking Dead" marathon...

Figured if i was going to watch a bunch of zombies milling around aimlessly on TV, i'd rather it not be the ones wearing 'Old Gold and Blue'.
*sigh*

16. I give credit to Tech

They were awesome and taught us Mountaineers a lesson. I am licking my wounds bigtime but Tech is a real class act.

17. Surprised me to see Oregon State at #10

I don't mean surprised at their success, they earned it. Surprised that the pollsters put them up there so soon.

I think where I am coming from is Arizona State isn't even ranked yet. They haven't defeated the same level of competition and have 1 loss but they are playing well on both sides, especially on defense. This defense is far better than the 2009 version. They also have an excellent power rating -- http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt12.htm

On edit - USA Today poll has Oregon State at more of what I expect of a non-traditional power at this point - 14. Not what I think they should be ranked 14.

18. Looking for some redemption in Baton Rouge: 10-7 LSU in a

nail-biter...

Geaux Tigers!

[petronius]

20. Whew! 23-21 LSU over South Carolina

The long climb back is underway...

[hibbing]

19. My Huskers didn't lose!

Hey,
Glad to see Boomer Sooners kick some major butt. Notre Dame pulls another one out of their ass, boooooo.


Peace
