I'm ready to see if Johnny Football will live up to the hype of giving Bama trouble. I think he will play better than he did vs. LSU because of the experience but think BAMA will still shut him down.

I'll second what you say about K State and TCU also the Syracuse and Louisville,, The Orangemen have always pulled the rabbit out of the hat on several teams .

whoa tide whoa!
have to give a hats off to bama as they have played 2 nail biter games back to back. they are still one of the top teams in the country. I dont think bama's defense is as strong as what they have had in the past few years but sabans way of coaching will bring out the best in a player.
I believe they will still win the sec championship but will have to wait and see how the other undefeated teams finish out the rest of the season for the NC.

Chuck don't see any games this week end that really interest me that much but will be watching most of the big boys are playing cup cakes and Texas is not playing. Texas has a least show some signs of playing some D the last couple of games. I see where the EERS have got the Sooners that will be a tough one. Aggies have played well but better not take Sam Houston for granted they got a good team for a D2 school but it should'nt be much of a game. Ricky Allen

Allen, one game that may be worth watching is La Tech vs Utah State, supposed to be defense vs. offense. Other than that about the only competitive game should be UCLA and USC and the raiders vs. the okie state cowboys.
Yea I plan on watching Tech another will be the Buckeyes & Badgers should be a good game. I just don't watch the West Coast Teams that much but the Ducks & Stanford could be a good game. Ricky Allen

Yes, go watch it. They got it wrong, clearly 100% without a doubt. The Stanford guy was lying in the endzone with the ball.
I didn't have a dog in the fight, don't pull for either team, they just got that one wrong.
The first time it looked like they scored the TD they never showed a replay. It's possible they were right on that one.
The second one there is no doubt, it is clear. The ball crossed the plane. The replay booth just didn't want to overturn the field guys but it was clear as day.

Here, I'll save you a search on the last TD. Follow this link. It is very clear.
Foward progress had not been stopped, he very clearly reached the ball out over the goal line before he was down. No question about it.
Then he dropped the ball, but if you want to say he fumbled look no further than the Stanford offensive lineman that recovered the fumble one yard deep in the endzone.
Either way it's a TD for Stanford if called correctly.
Now I was wrong though in that I was thinking it was for the win, it was not. It was for the tie and another overtime. No way to know who would have one.
The only thing we DO know is that the officials got it wrong, whether intentionally or not, and Stanford did not get what they deserved.

No, in reality they TIED (extra point pending who knows they could have missed it or even went for two). Even the head of NFL officials said they got it WRONG on the field.
Jim I gave you the link. Look it up. It was the wrong call, plain and simple. You, me or anybody else can see the ball crossed the plane.
We don't know what else would have happened but we have the facts and the facts are Stanford scored a touchdown they were wrongly denied due to poor officiating.
No different than if someone got their tree scored as minus with a coon sittin on the bottom limb in plain sight.
I don't know who would have won the game, I just know that by rights Stanford didn't get credit for a touchdown that they actually scored.
Yes they got the call wrong. Nothing will change that it is a win in the record books. Doesn't make it right.
This is one case where an official gave a win to a team and didn't let it play out on the field.

"This is what Mike Pereira, former Vice President of Officiating for the NFL and current Rules Analyst for FOX Sports, initially had to say about the play.
Mike Pereira ✔@MikePereira We have looked at ND/STA last play from every angle & feel that it is a TD. Progress was not ruled & runner was not down. Ball broke plain."
That's not me, that's the former NFL vice president of officiating. I would think he knows football rules. It was clearly a touchdown.
Here's the link to the article, complete with the video showing he scored touchdown.
