2016 NCAA Football Thread

Auburn in the playoffs?...it is a long shot but, there is a legit shot this may happen.

 

Soooo...is it a long shot or a legit shot?

 

Yes

 

Possibly

 

I have to admit, that is the nicest 120 mile stretch of I65 from Indy to Bham, and probably farther...lol.

 

That's a REALLY long shot, but it's possible. The only way it happens is if they win out AND Texas A&M loses another SEC game, though. At that point, they'd be a 2-loss SEC Champion, and I wouldn't be surprised if such a team got in.

SO... auburn needs to win at Ole Miss, at UGA and at Alabama. Odds of that happening?? (I'm pretty sure they can handle Vandy next week.)

TAMU still has to play at MSU and home games against Ole Miss and La State. I don't see them losing to either Mississippi school, so auburn needs to pull hard for the purple tigers on Thanksgiving day.

 

If Auburn plays the way they did last weekend, they can beat Ole Miss, and UGA.

 

I agree. It'll still be tough to be perfect in those three games, though. If any one of those teams finds a way to stop/slow the run, it could get interesting. They scored 56 points with only 12 passes in the game. Tricky and all that, but one-dimensional offense in that game.

 

Doesn't typically work with many SEC defenses....

9 Mill OMG

 

3 mil came from an Insurance policy Michigan paid for not his salary.

 

And, he only made $2mill last year....with no bonuses.


So, MEEEEEchigan is kinda making up for last year....lol.


So, that's $11mil for two years, where Saban made $14mil+bonuses....

 

I don'

but then next year will be 18 mil for the last two years and saban 14 mil

 

.

 

I'm guessing his contract will be renegotiated.

 

Also, Saban would be at 21mil for 3 years, and Harbaugh will be at 20mil.


And has yet to win a big ten title.....let alone make it to the playoff, and win a Natty......


Meeeeeeeeeeechigan is D.E.S.P.E.R.A.T.E.

 

Harbaugh is a good coach. All the dude does is win. Shit went south in San Fran for him because the big wigs didn't like his attitude and the way he went about things. He'll beat Meyer and win a B1G title, if not this year, next year, and make it to the playoffs soon.

I want to hate him, but I can't.

I do, however, hate meeeechigan. And I hope Sparty kicks their asses.

 

I'm not saying he isn't a good coach. Not at all. I'm simply stating that Michigan was desperate to be relevant, and did what they needed to do to become so, again. That's simply quite a large salary, for zero results, so far.

 

Ole miss or Auburn, what you think the score will be?

im guessing 42-14 AU
