Basically what they're saying, which is probably true, is that most teams in FBS have conceded and come to grips with the fact that the FBS/BCS champ will always be one of about 10, at the most, teams and they are just playing for a trip to a bowl game.

An 8 team playoff with several additional bowl games for the non-contenders would be better than the present bowl system. The also-rans get their rings from the Humanitarian Bowl, the big boys get to fight it out on the field for seven games - three rounds - to see who's really the best. You could even call those seven games bowls.

My opinion so far:

Ward has definitely gotten better than when I saw him twice last year.

Both defenses are very good

Grace is pretty good too.

UNI is hurting themselves big time

Gonna be a good one in the end!

Stupid clock managment at the end, I beleive it cost UR a score. Noise is obviously a factor, have to settle down and go bak to signals rather than voice commands. Glad to see we started mixing up O calls in second quarter. UNI if faster than I thought from watching what little I had seen. Second half should be a barn burner.

Bettina90

That was an awful sequence by UR at the end there, and it may cost them the game. They had a chance to be up 14-3 with the ball.

Kind of like the sequence of our QB dropping that pass and then overthrowing the WR in the endzone?

It makes my head hurt.
