Cincinnati matching their dominating 1st half performance from last week with another 2-point halftime lead against noted power 3-5 Tulsa. Is 6th too high? The people are talking. 

The same can be said about Ohio State. Is 5th too high?

Wrong. Ohio State was beating Tulsa by 7 at halftime.

Cincinnati doesn’t belong in the playoff and nothing will convince me otherwise. Does anyone actually think they’re one of the four best teams in the country? They’d have 2-3 losses playing a Big Ten East schedule. Instead, they get to rack up underwhelming wins against AAC teams.

I love watching Wake for the same reasons that the late Bill Lynch/early Kevin Wilson era got me addicted to IUFB. Complete chaos, games that lasted 5 hours, and a touchdown on every drive for both teams whether they were playing Ohio State or Southern Illinois. 

Not sure which annoyed me more, watching hours of defense optional football, or watching hours of Sam Howell, who just looks way too much like Baker Mayfield’s even douchier younger brother.

Though there are two-plus quarters to be played, Purdue looks as if it could beat the No. 3-ranked team three weeks after beating the No. 2 team. 

That bums me out. 

 

Kinda negates our excuse of having a really tough schedule. We should be doing what they are doing.....and I can't stand them!

Man, the Howell hype has never done it for me. A poor man’s Baker is a great way to put it.

C'mon Sparty, pull it together.  I do not want to see Purdue get another one of these games.

Maaaaaaan I hate MSU.

Kinda want Purdue to win out until the bucket game, which they’ll need to potentially get a really good bowl, and then win the bucket during a horrible year and screw up their big game. They’d also give Brohm a lifetime contract, which I’m still pretty certain is a good thing for us. 
 

Also kinda want them to never win a game again.

Purdue has a legit QB and receiver.  

[KingPG21 6,587]

Purdue has serious dirt on the B1G. They get some insanely good calls in their favor. That Walker fumble probably wasn't a fumble. And that is a simultaneous catch that they don't review. Its bonkers. 

[craigyv88 384]

I hate Purdue more than anything (I'll be an OSU fan when they play next week if that says anything) but man I have to admit David Bell is an incredibly special player and a lot of fun to watch.  Would have loved for him to be a Hoosier.  

[Alford Bailey 12,818]

Sparky shoulda took the three

1st time I’ve watched Wake. Will also be the last. Giving up 58 pts to a 4-4 team. Heard someone say this week they were a more legit playoff contender than Cincinnati. Uh huh. 

I got a kick out of Clauson's stance. "Our offense is just so good and we go fast". I mean sure, but also your defense is awful

100% agree on the simultaneous catch.  That wasn't the most egregious example of it being ruled incorrectly, but it almost always is.  Simultaneous possession is supposed to go to the receiver but referees cannot resist giving the benefit of the doubt to the defender. 

In fact, a bad ruling of that situation was what led to the famous Bill Lynch gum throw against Michigan in 2009.

I'm sorta torn by this PU game -- well, not really. There's no way I'd ever root for the Toiletmakers. 

But MSU equally chaps my a-s. Mel Tucker was the Bears DC for a couple seasons a few years back -- and they were historically awful. I mean -- they would've given up 14 points to a high school team. Now, he's the darling of college football -- and getting mentioned as the top candidate at LSU.

Cincy escaping overtime by about the slimmest margin imaginable.

Wasn’t 92 for Cincy pretty obviously offside on the 4th down play?

Has to be pretty blatant in that scenario to get called. Plus, the CFP needed Cincy to win so they could drop them a couple spots and keep people coming back to the Tuesday night ESPN show.

Sucks watching Purdue have the season we all thought we’d have.
