Roundup: Notre Dame Might Get Screwed by the BCS, Michelle Beadle Had a Stalker & Reporter Gets Sucker Punched On-Air
Georgia Salpa, a “model” … janitor had a secret life as a bank robber … he crashed his car and survived three days in a ravine … is this billionaire a candidate to by AEG? … anyone else fascinated by the Petraeus cheating story? … an 80-year-old was carded at Hooters … so there’s a popular reality Golf show? … take a guess where a lot of racist tweets came from on election night … yes, one more Petraeus-Broadwell link … women who get the flu during pregnancy have an increased risk of having a kid born with autism … Venice is underwater! … Megyn Kelly, election star! … mysterious home explosion in Indiana kills two, levels neighborhood …

I find it hard to believe that a team that had to squeak out home wins against the likes of Purdue and Pitt is this close to the BCS title game
Stanford would like you to review that statement as well. Is there a debate as to whether Notre Dame is really one of the two best teams? The “computers” have them there because humans require them to remove margin of victory. Notre Dame will get in ahead of any one loss team, even though I think the SEC champ would be favored heavily against them and should have as good a claim after a title game. It’s probably moot, I don’t think we are ending with 3 undefeated teams. I think it is just as likely that the SEC champ is in the BCS title game as an undefeated team is left out this year.
November 12th, 2012 at 8:23 AM
I find it hard to believe that a team that made Manziel and Mettenberger look amazing should be talked about jumping undefeated teams.

November 12th, 2012 at 8:26 AM
I find it hard to believe that a team that made Manziel and Mettenberger look amazing should be talked about jumping undefeated teams.
I did not suggest that Alabama should jump an undefeated team. I suggested that the chances of Kansas State, Oregon, and Notre Dame all going undefeated is less than 50%. If all had a 80% chance of winning all remaining games, then there would be a 51% chance all three are undefeated. I don’t think Notre Dame has an 80% chance of beating USC.

November 12th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
Im also not sure why everyone assumes a one-loss Alabama would jump a one-loss Oregon or KSU. Alabama’s schedule is weak. They played two quality teams all year and should have lost both. You take the names off the jerseys and list out that resume, no chance Alabama is in the conversation.
November 12th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
lets not do that tho because fuck oregon and kansas state.
November 12th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
It sucks too. Great idea, but the combination of time of year, wind, humidity on the ocean, and night time viewing does not mix. I’m just glad the “powers that be” used common sense and shut down the OSU game (and the FL/Gtown game at half) before anyone got hurt.

It doesn’t bother me from a competition standpoint. It bothers me because I’d have much rather saved that play for a more competitive game. Now it’s on film.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Sir Spicious: No mercy. I like the Harbaugh move.
why? not only is it unneccesary to the game, and a dick thing to do, but you now don’t have that play on the table to use in a game where you might need it.
I don’t like showing people up like that. I know they’re professionals, but you can still be a decent person. Look, you dominated them, great job. You know it, they know it. So why rub it in?

They didn’t need luck and a blown call to be Stanford at home?
Michigan and BYU stink. Its not luck, its a failure to pummel bad teams.
Notre Dame has been extremely fortunate to remain unbeaten at this point. Everything, from their schedule to the way they’re winning games, breaks their way.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
Nope.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
why? not only is it unneccesary to the game, and a dick thing to do, but you now don’t have that play on the table to use in a game where you might need it.
I think now that each opponent has to be a bit more cautious knowing they have that play is more effective than using it in another game. And messing it up in the OAK game didnt have much downside.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Stanford is not “inferior” or “bad.” A close game against Stanford being used against them is fucking ridiculous.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Hope that wasn’t due to a restaurant recommendation you got from someone here????
November 12th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
That wasnt a new fake field goal, it was a recycled and reused fake field goal, so it was already “on film.”. They apparently ran it last year.
It was pretty lame. Just go for it, tell your offensive line you believe in them. kicking the FG was pretty chickenshit too.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
This links to the hazing, not the Wage of Wins article.
That article is here:
http://wagesofwins.com/2012/11/08/the-greatest-and-worst-nba-players-of-all-time/
The concept is also foolish. It should be worst players who carved out a long career, because in no way are the numbers suggesting Cliff Robinson is anything more than a guy who played a lot longer than he should have, not that he’s the “worst player”.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Also the “failure to pummel bad teams” thing really ignores how insanely dominant they have been on defense this year. Yes their offense has struggled to put teams away, but Michigan was never even in that game.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
They won the game solely because of a blown call. That is the definition of fortunate. It doesn’t matter if the team is good or not.
Notre Dame has been lucky. Someone call me when they beat a good team by more than a FG. Then I’ll believe they actually have talent.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
How many of the 120 or so FBS teams “stink”?
November 12th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
I don’t think they should get in because if Oregon wins out it means they end with either beating USC twice or USC and UCLA, which is better than ND beating USC once to end the season. ND’s schedule hasn’t turned out to be as hard, but I think it’s ludicrous to use anything other than Pitt and Purdue against them in terms of the “bad teams” narrative.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:35 AM

November 12th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Is their defense really that good? Or have they played Purdue, Stanford, Pitt, Michigan, BC, BYU, Navy, Michigan State and Miami? Oklahoma was impressive but remember that the Sooners threw for 364 yards.
I think that defense is good not great.

November 12th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
That would be ridiculous, and I don’t think anyone is saying that. But its hard to argue that ND isn’t more fortunate than other top-level college football teams this year, just like its hard to argue that the NY Giants haven’t benefited from a disproportionate amount of luck during their two SB runs.

November 12th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
It’s headlines like this one above, “ND Might Get Screwed by the BCS” that cause much of the blowup.
ND is the least attractive of the 3 teams that are undefeated right now. Take off the names and look the results.
But, as Lisk pointed out, we just started November. The likelihood that all 3 teams continue undefeated are not great. I think K State has the best chance of staying undefeated. Then Oregon. Then ND, who will likely be significant underdogs against USC.

Queefer – You keep missing the big-picture.
There are 3 undefeated teams right now. Who should go to the title game and why?
If you’re going to say, well ‘x only beat y by 2 points or got lucky or the refs helped them’ then fine.
Let’s move on.
Who has played the tougher schedule? Not subjectively, but what do the #s say. Report back to me on that.
Then: Who has more Top 25 wins?
Then: Who has more Top 25 wins when looking at BCS, not rankings?
I think we at least all agree on this: At least we’re getting a playoff. It was absolutely necessary, everybody knows that. This current system is a joke.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
That was one of several big hits I enjoyed. Both teams were laying the lumber last night. Brutal game.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
It’s headlines like this one above, “ND Might Get Screwed by the BCS” that cause much of the blowup.
Exactly. And then Lisk countered it and then the guy that wrote the headline agreed with Lisk even though he wrote that headline and something about early morning texting to throw off everyone.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
I look forward to ORE, ND and KSU all losing and Ohio State being declared the bona fide champions.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
Nothing worse than getting hit with that when you’re not at home.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Skyfall was excellent.
I have heard the same. Wasn’t able to go but am going to attempt a mid-week show.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Who should go to the title game and why?
1. The top two teams in the BCS standings.
B. Because they had the two highest rankings in the BCS.
It isn’t that hard. Nobody is getting screwed. Everyone has known the BCS rules for years.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
If that’s the case, the B1G winner will probably play ND in Pasadena.
//Take S. Carolina and give up the 8.5 against Michigan in the Outback Bowl.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Again I’m a ND fan, but if all three teams end up winning out, KSU beating Texas will be a more attractive win than ND beating USC. There’s a decent shot USC doesn’t finish the season ranked if all three win out.
Oregon will have added, Oregon State Stanford and either UCLA or USC in the title game. I don’t see how anyone, even myself as a ND fan, can say that that will in the end give them the tougher schedule.
Tougher schedule up to this point means dick.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
I’m willing to throw it up there as the best Bond movie.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
But, Notre Dame has been irrelevant for 20+ years. Now that they have won 10 in a row, it should be a constitutional law that the Irish are in the National Championship game because they are Notre Dame.
Here’s a hint. They haven’t won them all yet. And USC on the road is a bad matchup. Bad, bad, bad.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
I meant I don’t see how it couldn’t give Oregon the tougher schedule over ND.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
it was opening weekend of rifle season here, but I bow hunt as well. there is a 3 point on one side law here, but if I am shooting a buck it has to be a decent one. I’ll shoot does though too, got to control that population.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
but hey, your 8 team playoff would leave undefeated teams OUT OF THE PLAYOFF. So you’ve got that going for you.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
What’s your definition of significant underdog? USC still has to get by UCLA and if they win, they’ll at most be a 3 point favorite vs ND.
I do agree that Oregon has the hardest schedule remaining with Stanford, OSU, and Pac 12 title game, but K State could slip up vs Texas at home…although not likely.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
I won’t weep for Notre Dame when the real champion will be crowned in the SEC Championship game. The fact is the 3 undefeated teams are pretenders because they don’t have to play an SEC schedule. You know it, I know it, the Amercian people know it.
November 12th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Neither have the other two teams though. EVERYONE had Bama chalked into the title game. I don’t see why we’re assuming KSU or Oregon aren’t going to slip at some point in the next few weeks. Granted KSU has less of a chance because their remaining schedule is … well, Texas and a slightly shittier Texas school. But Oregon has three very tough games coming up.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
I’m not entirely sure this is true.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Skyfall was excellent.
I’m willing to throw it up there as the best Bond movie.
I read about the misogyny. That seemed pretty cool.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Oregon will have the toughest schedule by season’s end, followed by KSU.
If everyone wins out..
ND will have beaten four ranked teams: Oklahoma, Stanford*, USC and Michigan (lol).
Oregon will have beaten four ranked teams: USC, Washington, Stanford, Oregon State
KSU will have beaten four ranked teams: Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Texas
More importantly, the unranked conference opponents that ND drew are jokes. No, WVU, Arizona State, Arizona, TCU and Baylor aren’t ranked. But you think they’re a little tougher than Pitt, Navy, Wake Forest, MSU or BC? And the “subjective” schedule argument for ND is bullshit because the computers don’t factor in margin of victory.
You take the school affiliations off those three teams, compare schedules and results, and there’s no way ND is in front of those two other programs. No way in hell.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
That’s be excellent. I think ND versus the B1G winner would be a great matchup.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Hey KC, not sure if you saw my response.. I believe Rick was stabbing Mr full stomach zombie in order to dig out Lori’s wedding ring, which is what I think he was holding in the last scene
November 12th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
I’m a ND fan
and Duke. and the Steelers. I take it back. You’re the worst. Worse than Queefer even.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Alabama have one good win on their schedule. Far and away the weakest schedule of anyone in this discussion.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
I’ve lived all those places though, and I barely care about the Steelers.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
I would take 3 right now and put down a significant amount of cash.
ND’s secondary is the weak spot. USC’s strength is their WR’s. ND will need to score 30 to stay in the game. It will also be USC’s national championship game. I just don’t think that’s the right matchup for the Irish.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Alabama hasn’t really played that tough a schedule. Only two opponents are currently in the top 25. They lost to one and should have lost to the other.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Could be USC twice. So could be 5 games total.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
I’ve lived all those places though, and I barely care about the Steelers.
you’ve lived in Notre Dame? You’re the worst.
p.s. I went to the Pittsburgh Zoo on Friday, after it reopened. What a nice zoo. Sad what happened. My 4 year old, who is a huge jerk, hated it though.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
No but I think they’re better than Arkansas State, Fresno State, Tennessee Tech, Missouri State, and North Texas.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:05 AM
Correct. This is another example of jersey name inflation. Give Mississippi State Alabama’s resume and they’re not even in the top 10.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Alabama have one good win on their schedule. Far and away the weakest schedule of anyone in this discussion.
Neither Oregon, Kansas St or Notre Dame would go undefeated through the SEC gauntlet. So don’t tell me about weak schedules. If a four team playoff occurred this year the SEC chanmp would be the odds on favorite to win. But they’ve won 6 in a row so I guess some crumbs can be tossed out this year, although if history tells us anything it tells us that 2 of the 3 will probably lose.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
USC’s offensive line is a much bigger weak spot than ND’s secondary. Barkley has gotten murdered in the games they’ve lost and ND’s front is better than anyone they’ve played thus far.
Still think ND find a way to lose that game though obviously.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Chicago and Indianapolis, so effectively.
Yeah your kids suck agreed.
That escalator coming out is not fun when you’re drunk.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:08 AM
This is a massive down year. The only good team they’ve beaten is LSU.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:08 AM
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!! No one is worse than Queefer. No one.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
Unless it was Georgia.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
YOU TAKE THAT BACK!! No one is worse than Queefer. No one.
I acted rashly. Queefer is still the worst. Moleman is awful, but he’s not the worst.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Alabama was the odds on favorite to beat Texas A&M, crown their asses!
November 12th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
but K State could slip up vs Texas at home…although not likely.
It would be sweet poetic justice if Texas ended KSU’s national title hopes.
Dirt – How did the in-laws place hold up?
November 12th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
The SEC benefits from poll bias more than another other conference in the history of sports. All these teams are artificially inflated in the preseason, avoid tough games, then act like beating one another is some incredible act that merits massive poll jumps. Mississippi State is a perfect example. Play a shit schedule, rocket up the polls, get blown out by anyone remotely good, and have that count as a quality win for the victors.
Georgia has one good win: Florida
Florida has one good win: LSU
South Carolina has one good win: Georgia
Alabama has one good win: LSU
LSU has one good win: A&M
Thanks to the SEC narrative, no one questions the strength of these wins. Pollsters just see that No. 3 beat No. 6 and up the ladder they go. Unbalanced schedules are just ignored.
I’m not saying the SEC is bad. Far from it. But the idea that these schedules are brutal and that seven SEC teams could win any other conference is a joke.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
That Arkansas, Ole Miss, Missouri, Tennessee stretch sounds like a real killer.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Hey Dirt, did you watch the Walking Dead yet? I wanna talk about it
November 12th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Alabama was the odds on favorite to beat Texas A&M, crown their asses!
Look, I am no Alabama fan. I am an SEC football fan. Let any of the 3 undefeated teams play a road game at LSU and then turn around and play a pretty damn good Texas A&M team the next week. None of the 3 wins both games. Period.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:16 AM
I found a new candidate for the worst, Dirt.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Indeed it was. I’m willing to back Mole on his “best Bond” film statement. Took my son and a few of his friends for his birthday – they talked about it for a good hour afterward.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Spence–you here? I hit the Covert again this weekend. Very nice. And, what Callaway will introduce this week is STUNNING. The TM, Nike, Callaway battle will be epic this year. Cobra con just go away forever, and Ping will feel it, too.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:18 AM
I am an SEC football fan.
I should probably clarify. I am a Kentucky football fan but we have always sucked so in national arguments I am an SEC football fan.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Fuck this Alabama would be favoured by at least 7 points against Lady of the Lake neutral field. Start a Kickstarter campaign and we’ll pay a fuckton of money to get them to play each other. I’ll throw in, Bama will throw in, douchebag ND fans will pitch in and we will find out. Call it “The People of the Internet Bowl” and let’s fucking settle this.
/Yeah so I have no follow through so I leave this is someone else’s hands
November 12th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
I, for one, am shocked.
Alabama had plenty of time to prepare for LSU and A&M. Like, the entire season. Because they didn’t play anyone until then.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Dirt – How did the in-laws place hold up?
it was so horrible. There was just so much to do. And i had to argue about it. My mother in law had just propped half her shit back up and was ready to go on living there.
I think they should have abandoned it, but they want to keep living there. Their rental property next door got condemned.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
Alabama had plenty of time to prepare for LSU and A&M. Like, the entire season. Because they didn’t play anyone until then.
Again 2 of the 3 will probably lose and this can then be settled on the field.

scripty…was hoping to get in 18 teeing off at 145 at little mountain yesterday, but all the groups ahead of ours were old guys and orien…slow golfers (yea, that’s the ticket). only got in 9, but shot 38…after starting +3 on the first two holes. had a bogey when a 3 footer lipped out and almost holed out my eagle chip on 7.
praying we’ll get one more weekend…
/not sure to whom im praying, but i figure it can’t hurt
November 12th, 2012 at 10:28 AM
just saw this…im excited.
im sure ping will be fine…they’ve got their niche, but others coming up can’t help. interesting to see how TM’s hybrids and FW’s evolve now that they got adams.
how’d you like the red finish on the covert? im kinda diggin it in pics, but wouldnt care if they were purple or pink considering their just beautiful head shape.

About to watch it at my desk right now.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Wait, I thought Texas A&M was considered a mid tier Big 12 team last year. Now they’re considered a good SEC team/loss. Somebody better tell the Longhorns.

What a joke this Petraeus situation is. Let’s compromise our military by forcing the resignation of one of the most respected generals since Patton so we can show our righteousness. Another story of a dude caught being a dude, now he must placate falsely indignant religious moralists and women. Dumb. In other news, powerful people have affairs.
November 12th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Because arguing about college football is bad? I rather enjoy calling teams I’ve barely seen play frauds, holding regional pissing matches, hating southerners. Its got a lot going for it.
aTm/Bama was just too exciting because of the stakes. I would have enjoyed it more if Bama’s loss was meaningless because they’re “in” no matter what.

I propose that the winners of our presidential elections be required to do this as well, maybe for a month. They’d end up like Gibson Gowland at the finale of Greed.

Also: The Governor as depicted on TV is lame-ass compared to The Governor in the comix.
Also also: At this rate, Michonne might struggle to end up with as many total lines for the series as T-Dawg.

it’s sad that i consider him to be what bond should look/sound like.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:08 AM
I counted three last night. Assumed they were for Lori, T-Dawg and Carol, especially since Daryl put the flower on one.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
I may be the only person to think Timothy Dalton was the best Bond, because his was dark and malevolent — closest to the Bond in the novels.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:11 AM
btw I watched all of Terriers this weekend. Amazing.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Not a bad thought. The problem was that he was Bond in the 80′s, where the writing was bad, the Bond chicks were worse, and technology was in that “in-between” stage where there was little imagination.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Agreed. Dalton was in some bad Bond movies. But his work was good.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Not a bad thought. The problem was that he was Bond in the 80′s, where the writing was bad, the Bond chicks were worse, and technology was in that “in-between” stage where there was little imagination.
Hey, the one where he went up against Robert Davi and his mangled looking face was pretty fucking sweet, though.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
He disagreed with something that ate him is one of my favorite Bond movie lines.
Also JESUS CHRIST I hate you Kelly MacDonald.
November 12th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
I definitely dont understand why they had to dig 3 graves when they only had one body(T-Dog). Lori was eaten and Carol is just missing. Daryl put the flower on Carol’s.

Probably just for a symbol of her. Keep some normalcy. Then again, a lot of the writing angles don’t make sense.
