College Football Saturday: Cougar Bye Week Open Thread

PrintFor the first time since the season started, we get to relax and enjoy the college football action.
NOW!
Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Kansas Jayhawks (FSN) - Yawn.
Wisconsin Badgers vs Michigan Wolverines (ESPN) - Big House yawn.
Pitt vs USF (ESPN2) - Yawn
Yale vs Harvard (VERSUS) - Watching to get smarter.
I hate morning games
12:30 p.m.
tOSU vs. Iowa (ABC) - Ricky Stanzi says if you love America, you'll watch this game. If you don't, you're a hippie and he hates you.
Ole Miss vs LSU (CBS) - Laptop thief vs grass eater.
Cal vs Stanford (FSN) - BIG GAME!
V-Tech vs Miami (ESPN) - Beamer Ball vs. Swagger
Illinois vs Northwestern at Wrigley Field - This game ROCKS. Earlier in the week, when they finally laid out the field, something looked off. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, though.
Oh, right ... that. So the Big Ten decides they want to avoid the potential knee, face, torso carnage and we get a backyard football game as a result. The end zone pictured here won't be used and teams will flip-flop every possession, only going toward the end zone not pictured. Watch for comedic value.
4 p.m.
Army and Notre Dame desecrate New Yankee Stadium with bad football (NBC)
Mizzou at Iowa State (FSN) - I, for one, am expecting a close game.
Arkansas vs. Miss. State (ESPN) - ESS EEE SEE FOOTBALL!
5 p.m.
USC vs. Oregon State (ABC) - In what the ... news, Dillon Baxter was left in LA after riding in a golf cart with a student that may have been an agent.
Oklahoma vs Baylor (ESPN2) - Robert Griffin is a man.

Looks like I'm going to be spending my Saturday
Napping. What a snoozer schedule
Outside of the novelty games (Wrigley and Yankee Stadium)
I looked at this schedule and thought “this is the best you got?” I’ll watch the Big Game, at least.
And I’ll watch Illinois-Northwestern because HAHAHAHAHA HILARIOUS!

Illinois v. Northwestern
Classic losers walk game … I wonder if they will be throwing on kickoffs like we did in elementary school.
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Ugh
Makes me want to go out in the cold
And play some touch football

That means a chance for me to reel in
Some glorious pick six’s
Hail Mary by the Virginia QB
He couldn’t throw the ball 40 yards … WITH THE WIND AT HIS BACK

The camera angles are kind of funky in the NW-Ill. game.
And Ill. took all of three plays to score.

And here's the fun part.
Turnover and we’re switching ends!

This is where I note Pac-10 officials would completely botch this exercise.

They'd probably just turn around and play from the same spot the Turnover happened

And we have our first ejection in the Big Game
A Stanford player was tossed before the game even kicked off!

OH MY GOD
ANDREW LUCK JUST DROPPED A FOREARM SHIVER ON A DB

Andrew Luck
just gave some linebacker a forearm shiver
"They like heading west"
They damn sure better. That’s the only way they can head on offense today, ESPN.

wtf is that trophy they're playing for at Wrigley?
looked like a bronzed soup can
I don't even care about the novelty
This game is entertaining.

Thank you FSN, for showing the Kevin Riley injury again
Disgusting.

After Luck's run, I switched to the LSU game...
they showed the clip mentioning the physical play by Luck…. the LSU commenter said, "if that’s all it take to be “physical” I wish I was playing there" or something along those lines…
I really hope Oregon slams Auburn in the Title game…
"as do officials all over the country"
Clearly, the ESPNU announcers don’t deal with the Pac-10
Notre Dame + Yankee Stadium
With a special halftime performance by Satan, Lord of Darkness, who thought this would be “a perfect fit”.

Satan also enjoys NBC
You may remember him as the catalyst for the Jay Leno Show at 10pm.

I love America
But I hate Notre Dame, which is a part of America.
Moral quandary.

This one!
I hope they celebrate by calling in an air strike on Yankee Stadium.

False
Notre Dame is part of Ireland. Fact.
Has it felt like weeks since we played basketball?
Or is that just me?
I want hoops.
As a matter of fact, it has been week since we played basketball.

Are we ignoring the game against Idaho
As I believe that was less then a week ago.
That was kind of sad we didn't get ahead by 30 points.
Portland defeated Idaho.

And it’s the first real test of the season.

I actually sat down and watched them against UK last night
They got run, but I have no idea what to take out of it.

Woah
I had no idea. So this is the bounceback game for OS, right?

Thankfully OSU didn't try the heavy dose of Quizz against us
Because boy is he good.
Just did my weekly stat check
WSU 41st nationally in passing yards/attempt.
53 spots ahead of Montlake Jake’s offense.
Writer: CougCenter Twitterer: @GradyClapp
Also
UW 4-6
WSU 2-8
Against one of the toughest schedules in the nation.

We're running with nearly an identical schedule.
CougCenter, SBNation Seattle, @FloydCoug

On second though, OSU is pretty good
I forgot they’ve sustained success this year. We get an edge because MSU is FCS and Cuse’ is gonna go to a bowl game (albeit after running over a bunch of FCS teams).
But you are in fact right that your sked is pretty damn tough.
As far as Sagarin's SOS.
We actually passed UW this week. WSU is first, UW second and eight Pac-10 teams occupy the first eight spots. Only Arizona and Oregon are outside that.
CougCenter, SBNation Seattle, @FloydCoug
Night Editor - SBNation.com
And this isn't me getting into a measuring contest with UW.
It’s a testament to just how difficult the Pac-10. It’s impressive the two Washington schools are up-top, no matter how poorly we’ve played this year.
CougCenter, SBNation Seattle, @FloydCoug

True, nothing but respect for the win...honestly
I was just throwing the stone back over the fence. Head to head I’d give it to UW just because I think SMU=BYU and OSU=Nebraska. I understand with Nebraska losing it’s second game.
Also, where the hell did OSU come from? I had them pegged as middle of the pack in the south.
Here's the rankings, by the way
If you want to have some fun. Montana State is, surprisingly, in the top-100. For comparison: SMU 74, BYU 59, Cuse 61, Nebraska 12, OSU 10. Interesting stuff.
And OSU is/was having about the quietest top-10 season I can think of. I looked up the rankings again today and just noticed them. I hadn’t even realized.
How are they doing it? Well, Justin Blackmon and Kendall Hunter are awesome, something we learned pretty quickly. I thought they’d be good, but didn’t expect this at all. Now that I’ve flushed that game, I enjoy watching them play.

Another fun little tidbit...
the last time WSU and UW beat the beavers in the same season…2003. Also, the last time neither team had a losing record.
Sigh.
I didn’t realize it had been that long since a winning season. On the plus side, the wins over OSU look better after last night, so that’s something.
CougCenter, SBNation Seattle, @FloydCoug
Night Editor - SBNation.com
I stand corrected, in 2006 you guys managed 6-6
but it doesn’t really soften the blow. Here’s to a bright football future for the state.
Anyone want to bet
On whether the spot gets overturned or not. I say not, even though I think he was short. Pac 10 refs rule.
So by looking at the last two weeks...
It looks like our score against USC really should have been reversed.

Twitter!
We just made your victory look more super-awesome
Send us cookies, k thx ;)
Nice win.
That was just flat dominant.

OSU beat USC, WSU beat OSU
Through the transitive property of college football, WSU just beat USC! Go Cougs!

Totally off topic, but I had an Oaked Arrogant Bastard the other day
and tried a regular AB just for comparison…there is none. I forgot if you’d tried the oaked AB yet, if not, do it. Now.
Of course by the same property.
USC beat us, and we beat OSU, therefore
USC>WSU>OSU…USC>OSU
Freaky like my lady pyramid!
what????
you guys have thoroughly discombobulated me….
