there is one team that the computers absolutely show no love and that is Free Shoes Univ..Florida State
had it not been for a brain fade against NCST they should be getting some consideration for the big game...the FSU vs Florida game will actually mean something this year..the winner is arguably among the top 4 teams in the country

Just for the record I have very fine dogs. Some of the best in the whole country....or at least on my own block anyhow.
I rest my case. Think about what you just said.
We are playing tackle football. You are saying the per se justification for a penalty is that a tackled player's head snapped back and his mouth is bloody. Do you not see a problem with that? And did you think the same thing when the QB was Parker Wilson and he was getting trucked by Laron Landry?
Aren't we also assuming with the rule that, even at the speed of the game today, the defender has complete control over what part of his body hits what part of the offensive player's body? I saw the defensive player's helmet go up under the QB's chin - right where it should have - not helmet on helmet. How else did his mouth get bloody?
From the other side, the rule is too subjective to enforce. Alabama got such a penalty against A&M for hitting a WR who immediately jumped up and did the whole Superman thing. I thought he was getting penalized for excessive celebration. The officials then watched Lacy get hit the same way and have to be helped off the field - no flag. On the goal line at the end of the game, AJ takes a true helmet to helmet on the two in front of everybody - no flag. Kenny Bell got hit the same way as the A&M WR on our second possession - hard enough to jar the ball loose for an INT - no flag. That's not an enforceable rule by my calculation.

You beat me to it. No health problems, family problems, or anything.
I think that Georgia or Alabama, either one, would love to go against ND in the championship game.

Do you think they will erase that one so the parents of prospective recruits do not see the press conference!
The game earlier in the month was colossal!
I would love to see a rematch as the Tigers are getting better on O and I do think USC will beat ND.
Whatever happens, just watch how the top SEC teams do in the big bowl games. They will flex their muscle!
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
If I was Aggie coach Kevin Sumlin I would make sure the parents of every recruit from Texas received a copy!
Actually he was saying 'freaking' He doesn't talk like that normally so he said pardon my French. Les Miles rarely ever says curse words unless he's talking about his 'Damn Strong Football Team'
I don't know what case you're trying to make or why. Helmet to Helmet, Especially on the QB is a good call almost 95% of the time. Just b/c one team gets the call and the other doesn't, does not make it any less relevant of a call to be made.
Case Closed.
Dustin, I am not trying to fight with you or argue for the sake of arguing. But you didn't respond to any of my arguments.
If you are going to penalize helmet-to-helmet hits, don't you assume that the person doing the hitting is somehow able to absolutely control where he is hitting? Would you say this is absolutely the case 100% of the time?
And where are we headed? I would submit that the Landry-Wilson hit, where Landry got about a 20 yard head start from his safety position, hit the LOS right at the snap, on the dead run, came through untouched, and leveled Wilson, driving him into the ground, was much more likely to cause injury that the hit on Mettenberger yesterday. Which one would you rather take?
What about the hit on Matt Barkley yesterday that looks to have separated his shoulder and put him out for this weekend's game with ND? How long until the QB is at least virtually wearing a black no-contact jersey because he can't protect himself?
What about the inconsistent (at best) enforcement I spoke of in the Bama-A&M game? You would be OK with it if it cost LSU a game and a possible shot at the BCS title?
Case Still Very Much Open.
