I took a little different approach this week.

Anyone care to break that down for us? I assume most are holding, some legit/some BS, but I was curious what other positions are being penalized.

I feel like false starts and offsides haven't been issues, but maybe I'm wrong. Illegal procedure or PI?

We can't sustain that if we want to win a championship.

P.S. We don't need any big penalties in the MSU game, that sorta thing can flip momentum.

The way it appears, Mizzou would be the 3rd best SEC team, Ole Miss 4th and LSU 5th. Could say, the Citrus Bowl take LSU over Ole Miss? I am asking because on some Big10 site they show Iowa playing LSU, not Ole Miss in the Citrus.

From the top rope. Good for him dogging the NCAA

This is a joke. I couldn’t help myself. The troll literally presented itself to me this morning. Hope y’all have a great day!

CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bearcats fourth-year center Aziz Bandaogo has been granted a waiver for immediate eligibility by the NCAA, the university announced on Monday. Here’s what you need to know:

• Bandaogo transferred to Cincinnati in May from Utah Valley and applied for a mental health waiver for immediate eligibility as a two-time transfer. His initial request was denied in October and then again on appeal earlier this month.
• Despite the denial on appeal, Bandaogo’s waiver was subsequently approved by the NCAA on Monday, similar to the situation involving North Carolina wide receiver Tez Walker. The waiver was granted on account of “new information,” according to program sources familiar with the decision, which echoed the same verbiage used in Walker’s approval.

Saw this and laughed pretty hard. Thought yall might enjoy it as a respite from the State threads.

Ole miss leads the series 58-30-5

1927 was the inaugural Egg Bowl matchup.


I didn’t realize it was that lopsided
If this game was in the middle of the season, it would not get as much attention as it does now.

Put the game on week 8 or something.

If we beat state. Am I missing something? I only hear folks talking about MO and ARK.

Watched the first 2 episodes on Apple TV yesterday. Fantastic show. Builds off of Skull Island and Godzilla vs Kong.

OM 41 MSU 20

Dart 330 yards and 3 TDs passing and 75 yards rushing

Per their rivals guy, the search is down to Ryan Day, Kalen DeBoer, and Jedd Fisch.

Could all these names be a smoke screen for the one and only Dave Doeren???

Not a uniform guy but this is pretty awesome.

Worth keeping an eye on @OleMissFB QB Jaxson Dart, who
was banged up in last week's game and didn't practice Monday. With a short week, Rebels will have a better feel for how healthy he is closer to Thursday's game at @HailStateFB.

I’m assuming Lane put that out there to make them prepare for Sanders as well lol.

Ole Miss is trying to get the 10th and 11th wins of the season, and state is begging for a BIRMINGHAM BOWL miracle.

Here we are, just where we thought we might be a month ago.

Week 1 (with more background): https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/bowl-chances-at-5-7.1123980/
Week 2: https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/the-5-7-scenario-10-23.1134896/

Week 4: https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/the-5-7-bowl-game-scenario-11-7.1160859/#post-21476009
Week 5: https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/the-5-7-bowl-game-scenario-11-14.1176515/

Several changes to the APR table this week. Northwestern, Wisconsin and Boise State all earned their sixth win and bowl eligibility, so they are off the table below. Cincinnati lost again to fall to 3-8 and are thus eliminated from consideration.


Obviously the best path is to win Thursday and get that 6th win. As for our APR rank, we will be no worse than 4th but could end up first if we are indeed 5-7. Should Minnesota and Rice win, they come off the list, albeit while taking a bowl slot in the process. Wake is interesting. Syracuse is 5-6 and thus trying to get bowl eligible. Wake is 4-7 and trying to be the #1 or #2 APR team. Either way, the winner of that game is a higher priority than we will be assuming we lose. If 'Cuse wins they are 6-6 and Wake falls to 4-8. If Wake wins, they are 5-7 and can get in on APR while Syracuse is 5-7 and behind us in APR.

More attention this weekend will be on the 5 win teams. First, an update on the bowl games. Reminder, 41 bowl games, 82 slots.

11/21: 69 teams are now bowl eligible. 39 teams are at four or fewer wins. The only four win team we have to worry about is Wake Forest as noted above. There are 25 teams with five wins. Up to 13 of them will be playing in bowl games this season no matter if they are 6-6 or 5-7 (could be 12, depending on how many win and what Wake does against Syracuse).
11/14: 60 teams bowl eligible, 22 with five wins, 19 with 4 wins. Three are 22 teams with three wins, but they are all 3-7 and other than Cincinnati, cannot be bowl eligible nor ranked above us in the APR. So 21 of those are out of the running. There are 10 teams with 1 or 2 wins. They are also done. That leaves a pool of 102 teams to fill 82 slots.
11/7: 53 teams bowl eligible, 17 with five wins, 24 with four wins, 23 with three wins, 16 with 2 or 1 (Sam Houston won!)
10/30: 43 teams bowl eligible. 19 with five wins. 27 with four wins. 17 with three wins. 27 with 2, 1, or 0 (poor Sam Houston State).
10/23: 32 teams are already bowl eligible, 19 more have five wins, 29 have four wins. 24 more teams sit at 3 wins.

So with 13 spots left to fill, here is the schedule of the 25 teams with 5-6 records. It's sorted from the largest favorite to the biggest underdog. Please note that Navy is 5-5 and has a game this weekend before the Army-Navy game on Dec. 9. Army is 5-6, so at least one of those teams is assured of being 6-6. If Navy beats SMU and Army then beats Navy, they could both be eligible.



So there's your weekend cheat sheet. We need enough of those teams on the left side to lose so that there are fewer 6-6 teams taking bowl spots.

First of these opportunities is tonight, when 5-6 Eastern Michigan travels to 3-8 Buffalo for some Tuesday MACTION. Even at 3-8, Buffalo is a 5.5 point favorite, so GO BULLS.

Teams playing Friday: TCU, Nebraska, Central Michigan and Utah State

I'll try to update at some point on Friday or Saturday.

And that they’re all worried-concerned-expecting us to lose the egg bowl. He said one straight up said “we’re going to lose in Starkville.” What the hell are these people thinking about this state team this year? By no metric should that be the thought this time around

Cmon, we can never do better than a labrador retriever.

Found this on twitter via @LFLatMSU and found it funny.

your boy Rosebowl said that Sumrall was very serious about the job and would take it. @tsiskey

I was informed on yesterday by a source that Troy Head football coach Jon Sumrall is very serious about the opening in Starkville and that if offered, there is a good chance that he would accept the job. Sumrall has knowledge of the league and two years of winning football as a head coach under his belt. He has been a name of interest since the beginning of the search. I get the sense that State will work through the list of candidates and that there are a couple of candidates that they may wait to hear no from before taking the next step. Sumrall remains a serious candidate for the job and I am told has had multiple conversations with people acting on behalf of Mississippi State.
