2012 NCAA College Football Thread

[MyKILLv2.0]

i don't undertand Carolina or Texas AM over teams like Oregon, Georgia, Florida and I certianly can't understand the logic of putting the Aggies ahead of a team like Stanford. Johnny Football and D-Clowney are fun to watch play but I still don't believe they will play on as good of a team next year as they one they played on this year.

[DMN in the House]

Alabama will be number one over Ohio State, too. 1. Alabama 2. Oregon 3. Ohio State 4. Stanford 5. Georgia

[gunnar hendershow]

It was either South Carolina, Georgia, or Oregon at 5. I wasn't sure where to put Stanford but a lot of people are picking them for a Pac 12 repeat.

A&M was the best team in college football the last half of the year, they'll be top 5 on that with or without Joeckel.

Alabama is going to be the top team in the nation next year. Odd number years have been the better teams in the Saban era, plus they are adding a 245 lb beast in Derrick Henry.

One BCS computer still has ND ranked #1

[gunnar hendershow]

Man that system sure works doesn't it!?

[Plubby]

Well, Alabama never has to play Alabama.

Milliner, Lacey, and Fluker are all entering the draft.

Hopkins is leaving Clemson for the draft.

[gunnar hendershow]

Lacy sort of surprises me, I don't see him making it any earlier than late 2nd round. If he were to stay another year I'd think he would turn into a 1st round pick. Milliner is a top 10 pick, there was no question he was coming out. Fluker is probably a late 1st/early 2nd. We likely will see 3 Bama offensive linemen get drafted in the top 50, that's pretty incredible.

Remember Manti Te'o's girlfriend who died of leukemia?

It's beginning to look like she never existed: http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dead-girlfriend-the-most-heartbreaking-and-inspirational-story-of-the-college-football-season-is-a-hoax

[Damian WayLNKe]

How does this not get leaked sooner?

[Maxx]

A) It would seem like it's in poor taste to openly question it without evidence, right away.

B) It's not something you'd expect someone to make up.

[HC]

That's horrible, and this is speaking as someone who bought into the "character" of this guy. If he was in on it, which he surely had to be, I'm severely disappointed.

[Maxx]

Yeah, I don't believe for a second that he wasn't in on this. Hopefully that truth will come out and make him look like even more of a tool.

[Fait Accompli]

What we know now about this Te'o story is gonna look a lot prettier than what's revealed to us in the future.

[Cactus Drags]

Apparently, he was the victim of a hoax. Apparently he told Notre Dame this on Boxing Day. Yet he still talking about her in interviews leading up to the BCS title game? Odd to say the least.

[Adam]

If this woman who the pictures are allegedly stolen from is telling the truth then it seems like a few people might've been in on it. Bizarre to say the least.

[MalaCloudy Black]

To make matters weirder, Reagan Mauia of the Arizona Cardinals is now claiming she's real. And that he's met her, and was good friends with her.

[HailtotheYo]

Holy shit.

Just, wow.
