They had all the momentum though, you fucked up the 2nd to last play, called a timeout. Take the field goal and carry your momentum over into OT.

Also, they were at home

What happened to the block in the back on Miami, though? Did it just disappear?

The refs fucked that Miami ending right in the asshole.

- Missed an obvious block in the back at the 15 yard line on like the third lateral.
- Missed a blatant knee down before a lateral
- Called a block in the back on a block that was obviously to the side
- Reviewed the play and took back the block in the back flag, which is not a reviewable part of the play

But it was kind of nice to see Duke get screwed by the refs for once.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Strong is 9-12 with 8 21-plus point losses, including a shutout last night to a team that had given up 50-plus points in each of its last three games. Iowa St. murdered Texas last night. Texas' only play in their territory in the first 58 minutes of the game was an interception.

Mississippi State is a pretty poor football team. As Dill pointed out, a bit of a head scratcher as to why they're in the top 25.

One of the biggest upsets in recent memory in the mountain west last night. New Mexico won at Boise state as a 30 point underdog. Only the 5th home loss in the last 16 years by Boise state

So #8 Florida going to OT at home against 2-8 FAU (real time RPI 137).

Rationally, even if Florida wins they should probably drop a couple spots in the polls.

After being ranked #1 in the committee's poll three weeks ago, LSU should be unranked in the upcoming top 25s.

The Michigan State/Iowa game is really good. Cheering for Iowa because of Matt VandeBerg. This is an epic defensive battle. Three minutes to go and it can go either way.

They put up one HELL of a fight and proved that they were a legit playoff contender.

We'll see how the committee decides, but if it's me - I put Iowa in the Rose Bowl at against Stanford. Ohio State will probably get the nod, but Iowa was <1 min away from the playoff.

AWESOME season. It will take those kids a while to get over the sting of losing tonight... But someday they will look back on this season with a great deal of satisfaction and pride - as they should.

9 minute, 22 play drive to end that Sparty/Iowa game. Longest drive in 2 years.

Kept thinking that Iowa should just let them score to get the ball back with some time on the clock, but then again their offense wasn't really moving so I can see the hesitation with that strategy.

yeah, what a great game. no disrespect to asucatfan or iowa (i'm a fan of and follow their wrestling team), but i'm still not a believer of the hawkeyes. favorable schedule, garbage opponents, boring football, too many squeakers against sub-.500 teams. we'll see how their bowl game goes, though it sucks that they'll probably get passed over for the rose bowl.

Four Cienega kids dressed out for the game.

Daniel Gonzales starts at MLB for Navy.

Edgar's little brother Christian (Army) and Luke Holley (Navy) on bench.

One kid from Sabino (Timpf) out there as well.
