Pats game was on here yesterday, I was surprised they lost to Miami. On Saturday they will host a team(the Jags) that actually has a better record.

cody did go out with a tying TD pass...an image that will probably be superseded by the bizarre FG kick, but a nice way to close out a college career in any event.

If you think I am upset your should have heard the commutators of the game. One of them was screaming.

What the hell, how come the auburn game is allowed to look at replays??? We could have used some of that in the Iowa game.

yeah...

Chris Spielman let the officials have it.

But the officials had been missing calls all game long.

the NCAA needs to train it's officials better and it needs to get some younger blood in there. The Buddy system of officiating in the NCAA has gotten out of hand.

it's all about who is upstairs...

however, that offsides call IS NOT reviewable.

Sad, when a game is decided by the officials instead of the players on the field.

I think it is ironic that the two oldest coaches are playing in Miami. :)

it is sad yes...

but if Iowa had done ANYTHING in the 1st half, it's a different game.

yeah....

although I have some misgivings about a 4 loss team being in the BCS, but it does illustrate how crappy the system is.

Yeap, you are correct, although there was that one touchtown that resulted from a spearing call that wasn't.
