And just like that, down go the Pokes and there's another shake up in Cyclone fashion. The No. 2 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys lost yesterday evening at the hands of the unranked Iowa State Cyclones which will shake up the rankings quite significantly once again.
What that does is mix up the possibilities for whoever seemingly will face the LSU Tigers in the National Championship Game. There's quite a significant amount of games left to determine that but the regular season is drawing closer to a close. It will be very interesting to see how the rest shakes out and which teams will be playing one and other in all the major bowl games.
After this week, there are in reality two more significant weeks. Week 15 will be the last game played between Army and Navy. After that, we'll enter the Championship Games.
Follow below to see what games I have highlighted for this afternoon.
No. 16 Nebraska vs. No. 17 Michigan
This game will not only have an effect on the rankings but could also have Big Ten implications. Both teams have dropped games that they wished they could have back but they are where they are at. Dennard Robinson and the offense will have it's work cut out against players like Alfonzo Dennard and Jared Crick this morning. This game could be one of those thrillers that comes down to the wire.
No. 5 Oklahoma vs. No. 22 Baylor
Oklahoma really needs to string together blowouts the rest of the year against quality teams like Baylor and Oklahoma State if they want a shot at the National Championship Game. It's an outside shot, but they can now potentially put themselves in position to make a run at it. Many people who have started cranking out mock drafts, have Oklahoma's quarterback, Landry Jones going in the top five picks. He really needs to have a solid finish to the season if that will come true. Robert Griffin III has been quite stellar this season as well at the quarterback position for the Baylor Bears. However, the Bears' defense is been as thin as water and the Bears will most likely lose a shootout with a high powered offense like the Sooners.
Washington vs. Oregon State
I only am featuring this game because Nick Montana is getting his first start of the season. For 49ers fans, this is relatively significant. Many of us grew up worshiping the ground his father (Joe Cool) walked on. Montana was a football God... so naturally, watching the son of a football God will be interesting; especially considering that Nick was a four-star recruit. The Beavers don't have a spectacular defense, and Montana will have plenty of support on the ground from running back Chris Polk which should take some of the pressure off. Even though Oregon State's record says they aren't very good, they have played teams very closely this year. Unless Montana is the second coming of his father today, the Beavers actually have an outside shot at a win here. Quarterback, Sean Mannion for the Beavers has been okay but tends to throw a lot of passes to the other team. If he has one of those games today, it's also possible that this one gets ugly in a hurry. For more on this game, click here. Unfortunately, this game is not being televised, so we will have to wait and catch the highlights.
*Note: I will not be around later this evening as I will be attending the Arizona/ Arizona State game and tailgate. So enjoy the games and I will catch you all next week.

BCS scenario
so, if Alabama loses to Auburn, Oregon loses to USC, Oklahoma loses to OK State, Arkansas loses to LSU, Clemson loses to South Carolina and Va Tech loses to Virginia, is Stanford in the BCS championship game? That’s definitely threading the needle, but it could happen, right?

Big No to an Alabama vs LSU rematch for the BCS Champ
They’ve already played, we know which is the better team. The SEC fanatics can go suck it. If they end up LSU (#1) and Alabama (#2) somehow then play #1 and #3.
Alabama looked pretty good
Coin flip for another game – not that I want to see a championship game without a TD.
Give somebody else a shot at LSU
Alabama had theirs, and they had it at home, and they couldn’t deliver despite being the much more talented team.
that was a horrible game
if they play in the national championship game I’m not watching it.

"If the 49ers success offends you, so be it." - Jim Harbaugh
He really hasn't shown his diva side this season
However, I’m not ready to remove the label off of him. I mean diva in a sense that I always got the feeling that he cared more about himself than the team. Doesn’t seem that way this year. If he continues this season the way he has he’s no longer a diva in my eyes.
What I was trying to say
Is that he always was a good player, good blocker and receiver, yet he always had that diva attitude.
Seems to have disappeared this season but I’m still not 100% sure. I still love Crabs, seems like a genuinely nice guy, just needed to get his priorities straight.
He doesn’t do anything that a typical diva WR does…we’ve been over this numerous times.
by Virginia9er on Nov 19, 2011 12:35 PM PST up reply actions
I don't necessarily mean a typical diva
Maybe diva isn’t the right word. For the past couple of seasons it seemed to me like he didn’t really want to be part of the team and just wasn’t a team player.
In the game, you are right, who does not do anything typical diva WRs do.
Gotcha, I think there's a bit to that
I think even in his interviews where he says all the right things something just feels off. But I am beginning to think people just don’t really understand him, he has an odd quiet type personality. Usually those types aren’t all about themselves. He seems like he genuinely likes his teammates and vice versa, I’m sure he’d like more production himself (most WRs do), but I still think he’s a team guy…at least this year.
This is just my view from limited interviews and stuff so none of it really means much.
by Virginia9er on Nov 19, 2011 12:46 PM PST up reply actions
Exactly what I meant
I think in a season or two, after the team experiences some adequate offenses and winning seasons we might get to know Crabtree better. But he is a quiet, mysterious type guy, and yes, it does seem he likes his teammates this season at least.
Are you family? That is the only logical reasoning for dropping this much love on a decent player.

Have some reservations about the midseason dream
Rec and a comment there, reservations here.
Love Minnifield and Martin. I’m a bit put off by Lester — there is talent in that secondary but I’m not sure where it is. I’m willing to bet one of these guys is getting propped up by the other two and I don’t think anyone will know for sure which one until they have to suit up in the NFL. I don’t think I’ve found one safety prospect that isn’t plagued by inconsistency and coverage issues. It’s a rough year for a safety need — there are a couple guys with lower ceilings but decently high floors that might work — but other than that it might be a good idea to go for one of the bigger corners that have a safety history.
I actually don’t want DJax. He wants to make bank and he’s not worth it. Even in that high flying offense he doesn’t do alot of damage. He disappears quite often against anything but poor coverage. I’m not saying he’s bad, just he’s not worth anywhere near what he wants to get paid. He’s not elite in this league.
I don’t think Quick will amount to much, but I’m prepared to be wrong about that one. I haven’t seen enough of him to say either way but I do think there are safer ways to go with that pick while staying on the same talent tier.
I wasn’t sure about Lester either. But I really think we need a new FS. Debating either him or the OSU guy but I chose Lester instead.
DJax is fast and can take the top off a D he can be the play maker that we need. You make a good argument about him but honestly there isn’t anything else we can do. We could try out Williams and see what he can do.
I am basing Quick on what I think his athletic ability can be. If he can pull up a good 40 time and vertical he will be excellent for our offense. Especially in the redzone where we are not scoring enough TDs.

UVa – FSU game is the strangest ending to a game I’ve ever seen…I thought the game was over 3 different times before it was.
14-13 4th and 1, get a sack…face mask.
FSU gets it to about the 30 takes a shot at the endzone incomplete.
3rd and 5, they throw an out about 4 yards, guy catches it in bounds, time runs out…reviewed, incomplete, T
There’s 8 seconds left a possible false start on the 48 yrd FG attempt and 10 second run off, no the defense was simulating signals.
42 yard FG the kicker misses while it looked good from the start…just absolutely nuts!
One of the strangest endings I’ve ever seen…
Can’t wait til next week with a shot at the ACC championship on the line.

He doesn't make the throws consistently
And has put together another ho-hum game for the most part.
But you can go back and look at Robert Griffin to see a QB who DOES makes NFL quality throws every single week. He’s so superior to Luck in nearly every category that it isn’t funny at this point. Believe what you will, but the tape shows the story.

what I don’t understand is Stanford’s play calling. they have Andrew Luck and yet rely too much on the run in crucial situations. I know Stanford doesn’t have great receiving options, but they have some and Luck can move around, too. If you have a play like Luck, you put the ball in his hands and let him win it for you.

If they thought that would be successful they would do so.
Look what Harbaugh has done with Alex Smith in 3 months. Luck had what — 3 years with Harbaugh?
I’m not local to CA so I really don’t care about Stanford or watch them play — but after what we have seen is it really such a huge stretch of the imagination to believe that just maybe this is a guy who has been so well coached that he doesn’t have that much further to go before he hits his ceiling? Especially considering his lack of elite physical gifts?
Precisely
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

LSU vs Alabama or Arkansas in the title game is pretty much a lock
Seems to all depend on the result of the Arkansas/LSU game and the SEC Championship.
Also, Boise has an outside chance at still appearing in the title game. Their strength of schedule is better than Stanford and Virginia Tech and their win against Georgia trumps any win that either team has this year. The fact that they are ranked behind both of those teams in human polls right now is indicative of the BCS conference bias.

there's definitely BCS conference bias
but a loss to TCU at home is worse than Stanford’s loss to Oregon at home or VaTech’s loss to Clemson. Boise might not even get a BCS bowl b/c Houston probably will get in as a non-BCS automatic spot in the top 12.
there’s definitely a need to change the system to come up with a playoff.

Losing to TCU by 1 point at home
Hard to say that’s worse than either of those losses you just mentioned. TCU is going to be ranked within 1-2 spots of both Oregon and Clemson going into next week and both Stanford and Virginia Tech were handled easily in their losses.
Remove the names of the teams and the name of the conferences and compare the resumes of Boise, Stanford, and Virginia Tech and Boise clearly has the best resume of the group. They are the only team of the group who played anybody worth talking about out of conference.
As for Houston, they probably just lost their BCS title hopes with the Southern Miss loss this week. They needed to beat them as a ranked team in their conference championship.

Next year after Luck leaves
I think Stanford will go back to being mediocre.
Of course they miss Skov a lot.
Stanford might've just won the game

This is awful to watch
Do they even have a 2 minute drill? Ridiculous. Cal has wasted at least 50 seconds on this drive for no apparent reason.

Game was over when they got sacked and had to use their 2nd timeout
