A little Big 10, but mostly College Football, you don't want to think something going fishy on in these games, but if you have seen some games this year, you could think that.

In Toledo vs Syracuse over the weekend, It was pretty clear the Syracuse extra point was missed, the refs called it good and replayed and still called good, the score was made 30-27 instead of 29-27 and the spread was about around 2. Toledo did tie it and Cuse won in overtime to win by 3, but if the extra point was called right and 29-27, Toledo would have won with their field goal.

Another one was Utah vs USC earlier, USC up 3, last play of the game blocks Utah field goal, returns it for a touchdown, but the refs called celeberatin so the touchdown didn't count, the spread was around 10, and the Pac 12 later reversed the decision and allowed the touchdown to make 23-14 as a final.

These also come off the Kansas State-Syracuse and North Carolina-Tennesee bowl games when there was crazy officaiting and the spreads were about 1 or 2 points.

You don't want to think refs are influencing games, but there are some intresting things going on and doing in the games most people aren't watching probably.

It's pretty sad when college football has video reviews and the refs still get it wrong. Toledo got screwed big time. Does the Big East issuing a statement saying the officials made the wrong call somehow adequately rectify the issue? The right thing to do would be to vacate Syracuse's win and Toledo's loss. The record books would show them playing an 11-game season instead.

The Big 12 reversed a bad a call their refs made in our game against Kansas earlier this season. NIU went for it on 4th down and our receiver caught the ball at the 1-yard line to convert the 4th down. The refs called it a catch. They reviewed the play and overturned the call, thus giving Kansas the ball with 1:48 left in the 2nd qtr. Kansas would drive the field and score a TD to tie the game 21-all entering halftime.

Here's the video of the NIU-Kansas play in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVykqYstj40

Some good games today, With Florida-Alabama, Who has the offense to score on the other team, and if Florida wins tonight then on to LSU next week.

Are we ready to buy into Clemson, A win today, and this has a chance to turn into a special season, a loss and just could be a normal Clemson year.

If a Baylor quarterback wants to show he can be a Heisman leader, needs to have a big game today.

WMU has a strong chance of beating UConn.

Interested in seeing how the Toledo-Temple game plays out. If Toledo losses that would help NIU's chances of winning the West.

After the weekend, I think the loser of the weekend was a team that won and that is Boise State.

I don't watch much Boise State football, but to see they are beating teams by 20 when they should be pounding them doesn't look good, of course people say that the coach pulls out the players when they get up big. Also, Kellen Moore had a bad game too, and if there was any hope for a heisman, probably ended it.

What really doesn't help, is Georgia already has 2 losses and the only strong team in your conference is TCU, and they just lost at home to SMU and that's their 2nd loss.

It's tough to be Boise State. People try to de-legitimize everything you do even when you win. Beating teams by 20+ points every game is hard to do.

Kellen Moore never had a chance for the Heisman anyway. The Heisman is a popularity award that goes to a player on a BCS team. Come on, Troy Smith is a Heisman winner...

With that Oklahoma loss and Wisconsin loss, Hello Clemson.

If you want to look ahead at national title game, I would say it's down to the LSU-Alabama winner vs Oklahoma State/Stanford/ or Clemson right now and Oklahoma probably the first 1 loss team to get a shot.

On Boise State, in my opinoin, a game like today hurts them, home game against Air Force and they win by 11 points. Not a lot of people watched the game and only see the score and see a team like Notre Dame crush Air Force recently and Boise just wins by 11.

I did watch most of that game and what I would say in the 2nd half, nobodys defense could stop the other team.

The U had another nice game. After getting their titties lit against Maryland they have responded well and battled V-Tech and K-State and beat G-Tech. I still hate Jacory but they could have folded this entire season and they haven't. This is great news for Golden and for the future.

I will agree Urlacher's missing neck, hopefully give a nice trouncing to Virginia on Thursday and what could have been a dissapointing season, should turn into a bowl game. I am starting to like the receiver Streeter also.

The quarterback postion at the U hasn't been that great since Dorsey, Brock Berlin was decent, Kyle Wright was supposed to be special never showed it, and Jacory shows it one week and not the next and in some games a couple of drives and that's it. They usually get the top quarterbacks, but just never pan out.

A little note that the announcers brought up, if Paterno ever leaves Penn State, Golden would be one of the top candidates.

Going into yesterday, I would say the big winner was Boise State, with Clemson losing and almost seeing Stanford losing, but listening to the BCS talk on ESPN last night, they have no shot.

Right now your title game is the LSU/Alabama winner versus in order Oklahoma State/Stanford/ Oklahoma if they win out and Stanford loses one or the LSU/ALabama loser, I would say.

Right Stanford's big game is against Oregon in 2 weeks, win that one, get a Oklahoma win over Ok State and Stanford will make the title game.

Conference Title games could put everything up in the air.

Along with the SEC games, the Big East has a good game in Cincinnati-Pittsburgh and I know it's non Big 10, but Michigan vs Iowa should be pretty good.

On to other stuff, Virginia Tech with a win over Georgia Tech last night, all but clinched a spot in the ACC title game, more than likely a rematch with Clemson.

For title talk, Oklahoma needs to be the biggest Oregon fans tommorow, that is probably the last chance Stanford will lose and Oklahoma isn't passing Stanford.

The weird thing, Oklahoma needs Stanford to lose and if Stanford doesn't, then Oklahoma would have to help Stanford get to the big game when OU plays Oklahoma State in a couple of weeks.

49-0 at halftime is pretty embarrassing.

That Okie State TD on the fumbled kickoff was the definition of fun-bad.

Damn..though I kinda like seeing a non bcs team make a bcs bowl as opposed to another fucking SEC team. This could open up a slot for the Cougars!!

Boise blows it on another missed field goal, 2 years in a row.
