I couldn't dog tamu to anyone on a neutral right now... slapping that ass. Pretty sure if tamu doesnt miss the hurricane prep game against lowly latech that they probably get manziel polished enough to have finished florida. Failed opportunities against lsu first half .... happens some games i guess and good teams make you pay. But I know what I saw in the lsu game too.
 
Id slam UGA at your number VK

Id be curious what people think about that one.....I dont know enough about the other teams to pretend to set a line

As far as ND....I just seeing them having real trouble vs FLA D. But I can see how FLA would have trouble vs ND defense

I think IF UGA can get in the Ship, Murray could have a nice day. I think ND corners are really average....
 
ND has a better offense and coach .. likely find the way to beat Florida .. but then Florida has a much better chance at improving from now until gametime. Same is true with Bama .. if ND is to face Bama I would think Bama gains more from the additional practices than ND does.

You would push your bet... :)
 
Decent article .. the problem is probably in precedent .. Manziel put up the numbers that deserve a heisman based on history and did so in presumably the best defensive conference in football. And while you could argue "system" with Manziel .. Manti is not exactly alone in the ND defense and hasn't made a ton of memorable plays imo. ND linebacker may deserve it but it is an offensive award in reality.

Agree ND has the better Offense...better coach? eh, not sure

Why is there some big thing about the(it seems to me) SEC gains from the long layoff until the Ship/Bowl game? I dont get it..

Just think ND is more plateaued .. they could improve offensively I suppose as they have been growing a little bit there. But I think Bama would really rate to improve that much more. Georgia not so much .. Florida yes.
 
Tamu is real deal. Just think, they might play Michigan in bowl game. Lol make that line!
 
i love opinions VK

Lets talk some more...make me these:

LSU vs Texas Cotton Bowl

LSU vs Clemson Peach Bowl

LSU vs FSU Outback/Peach

LSU vs Michigan (south somewhere bowl)
 
gardner at qb? tamu -14 or so.



lsu -13 vs texas

lsu -7.5 vs clemsux

lsu -3 vs fsu 28.5

lsu -11 or so vs michigan ...repeat of bama prolly. tamu > lsu but matchup better for mich against a d they can move on.

Nice VK there we agree

Sort of like the reality that most of the time the award goes to a player from a top team

In the BCS era all but a couple of Heisman winners have played in the Championship game. Makes that price on Te'o attractive
 
For those favoring BYU by a TD or more...please try to remember that the game is at Qualcomm, SDSU's home field.
 
What's the point in speculating the line of SDSU vs BYU on a neutral field, since the Poinsettia Bowl is not going to be a neutral field?

I wasn't aware I was required to post my line speculations in order to comment on a thread? But sure, I'll play along bro.

SDSU -1

TAMU (pk)

Air Force +7.5

Notre Dame -3

I was really just baffled at such a huge spread, even if the game was being played on a neutral field.

SDSU's struggles early during the regular season came at the hands of dynamic spread offenses (SJSU, Fresno State). BYU is not a dynamic spread offense.

You weren't required to post, and opinions are fine, but I only referred to the thread guidelines of a neutral site. The sarcasm was unnecessary

SDSU may have played a couple decent teams early but they played no ranked opponents until Boise - and would be under priced at anything less than +7.5 IMO.

I would take that +1 you think is a real number, at 10 units or larger money, on BYU, if that line was available between these two. SDSU was favored by 6 last year against La-LaFayette and lost SU in the New Orleans Bowl? This year they have a first year starter @ QB who has no Bowl experience and has played against softer teams in the last 6 games, except for Boise (Barely ranked @ #25) who is a diluted team from a year ago.

All valid points. But I think you're also overlooking the fact that he's undefeated since stepping in for Katz, and even led the team to an OT win at Nevada. Personally, I think everyone is overrating BYU quite a bit this year. Who exactly have they beaten? They beat Washington State, Weber State, Hawaii, Utah State, Georgia Tech, Idaho, and New Mexico State. So, their only quality win this season was Utah State, and MAYBE Georgia Tech? Granted, you can say the same about SDSU, beating Boise and Nevada, but I hardly think that makes SDSU a 7-10 point underdog on a neutral field.

Oh well, to each their own. I hope you're right, and the line comes out to SDSU near a TD (because adding three points to your number doesn't drop it that much). If it does, I'll be all over it.
