Week 13 (Non-UConn)

[ScottVib]

How do the tiebreakers work?

They use the common opponent tiebreaker in the absence of head to head.

Virginia clinches with a win (common opponent over Pitt - Louisville)
SMU clinches with a win (common opponent over Pitt - Louisville)
- both of their loses are to Wake Forest who Pitt didn't play -

Pitt clinches with a win & loss by either of Virginia or SMU

The Cuse loss at ND was epic. ND didn’t even have 20 minutes of possession. The offense didn’t need to stay on the field because either their defense was scoring or the offense was scoring so quickly. Cuse actually had more first downs!

What they are doing to that true fresh QB is coaching malpractice. The Orange have a problem with Fran in my opinion.

Problem is neither Syracuse nor BC can compete in the revenue/NIL era. Not any different from most of the low level P4 schools.

Fran is such a poser, cool you won 10 games last year. Yes I get you lost your qb but it doesn’t excuse the way your season has tanked, not having even an adequate qb is on the coach, Nick Evers is better then the Cuse backups.

That is something if Evers is better than Syracuse backup.

And Pitt will not be favored vs Mia while Va and SMU will be favored in their games.

The super craziness comes if 2 of these 3 lose next weekend and you end up with 5 teams at 6-2.

The culture of a team and program is the primary responsibility of the HC. When these teams give up, that's on the HC, and I'm pretty sure the Orange gave up yesterday.

I think the same thing is happening at FSU with Norvell. After they were left our to the CFP in 2023 his team didn't show up (literally) for the Sugar Bowl with Georgia. I mean.......it was the Sugar Bowl with Georgia! That was easily the worst performance I had ever seen by top echelon programs in a major bowl. They are struggling to come back from that, and I think what FSU has to ask is wheter or not Norvell has the leadership to build the right culture.

Norvell needs to be fired. FSU is willing to support their football team with a ton of resources. There is no excuse for FSU to be not winning most of their games in the putrid ACC.

That was disgusting seeing all those guys sit out for FSU I said it myself at the time saying this sets a bad precedent for FSU program. Georgia got left out and played their guys not all of them, Brock Bowers obviously sat out because he was a 1st rd pick and he was also playing hurt.

King is a gimmick qb not a real qb.

King is good at this level. But a lot of these hard-nosed running quarterbacks get beat up during the season and this can be the result.

Hes a good coach, but even with Malzahn as OC could not fix the defense. Norvell will get some OC job somewhere and restart his career. but no one has done much with FSU since Jimbo left

 

[Purple Stein]

Pitt will get boat raced in the CFP. I guess you missed their game against ND?

Two things can be true. Pitt can be a top 20 team and still get destroyed in the 6/11 matchup.

The gulf between the top 5-6 teams and the bottomish part of the top 25 is huge.

I think Pitt is in the 20 to 30 range. The ACC is garbage this year.

Did our defense give up?

 

[Palatine]

Did the coach make Syracuse run after the Notre Dame game?

No but ND team did for giving up 7 points to Syracuse.

Before we start the Week 14 thread, remember these upcoming car crashes - you almost want to tune in just to witness it

Bowling Green (3-8, 1-6) vs UMass (0-11, 0-7) - BG favored by 13.5
bcu (1-10, 0-7) vs cuse (3-8, 1-6) - bcu favored by 3.5

Yeah but he made them run sprints after what ended being their best win of the season 🙄

An indication of a HC out of touch with the reality of major college athletics today. Pretty sure his team sent him a message yesterday.

How do the tiebreakers work?

I believe it’s: 1) head to head, 2) the teams’ records against common opponents in the conference, 3) opponents’ winning percentage.
