Please note that I never said that the TDs in the KSU and Tennessee game would have been disallowed by penalties (which the KSU kid didn't deserve but got, but Bray did but didn't)--I said that the officials who made those inconsistent calls would have the right to take scores off the board based on their own judgments, which is wrong in my book.

Even on the Black play--do we really want to trust the refs to not only watch the play on the field, but also check the stands to make sure that there are Florida fans where he pointed? And does it have to be a section of (mostly) Florida fans to count as acknowledging them? 50/50? His parents?

Three more objections to the rule:

1. Player Intent--Any rule that allows the refs to decide what the player meant by a celebration is already in trouble. I want rules that address what actually happened on a play, not what happened plus what the referee figures the player was thinking at the time of what happened.

2. Individual referee's reactions--There's always going to be a degree of subjectivity in officiating, but as we saw in the KSU-Tennessee-Florida-insert any other NCAA game, one man's excessive celebration is another man's giddiness and acknowledging his team's fans (becaus that could clearly not happen after the play on the sidelines).

Two examples from this year's games come to mind on this one. The first happened at Tennessee (forget the opponent; maybe Alabama). The opponent runs a play, Tennessee makes a good defensive stop. About three seconds after the play, one of UT's defensive linemen takes his helmet off to adjust something on it (maybe one of the straps or something)--not sure exactly what happened, but the hints were that it was several seconds after the play, he was five yards away from the players celebrating the play, and he immediately started adjusting something on the helmet. This was right in front of the referee. No problem. It was about five yards away from the umpire. Again, no problem. It was about thirty yards from the side judge, who came running in and threw a flag because he clearly took his helmet off to call attention to himself. After about a five second huddle (which, one would hope, involved the referee using the phrase "Go screw yourself"), the flag was waved off.

A second example, from an ESPN game--I can't remember who was playing. The receiver caught the ball and was being pursued. When he got to the goal line, he dove in. He didn't do a backflip, he didn't dive in sideways, he dove at the goal line the way players do. Flag--excessive celebration, drawing attention to yourself, fifteen yards. Next year, the touchdown would have been disallowed. There were two defenders pursuing, both within five yards of him. Could they have caught him? No, but how was he supposed to know exactly where they were? Should he have turned around and run in backwards? That would have gotten a flag. Is the NCAA going to bring in extra officials to hold up signs when players need to/are allowed to dive for the pylon, or should the players go just assume that if they're inside the ten, defenders will stop and let them score?

3. Timing--Let's say that a player does do a flip as a he crosses the goal line. Are the officials going to go to the replay to determine whether or not the ball had crossed the goal line before he started the flip? If one takes a TD off the board and the other is a 15 yard penalty, forget "Well, he shouldn't have done it in the first place"--they'd better make sure to get it right.

It's a stupid rule aimed at fixing something that isn't that much of a problem that is already addressed by the rule. Ask Washington a few years ago how much 15 yards on an extra point matters. Ask Kansas State this year. Ask any coach who loses it on the sideline when his team has to kick off from the 15 after a touchdown. It's a bad rule aimed at addressing a non-existent epidemic of touchdown celebrations. If they want to address the issue, then start calling more penalties on players celebrating first downs, sacks, or slightly better-than-average plays.

Dennis

Here's why I'm skeptical of the way that excessive celebrations get called right now, and why I'm dead set against the new rule going into effect next year that allows referees to decide when the celebration started and take away touchdowns. Watch the clip above one more time.

Now watch this post-TD response by Tyler Bray:

Now watch Ahmad Black at the end of today's game against Penn State (at 4:30 of the clip):

Now, a pop quiz:

1--Of the three clips, which seems least like an example of the player calling attention to himself or celebrating excessively?

2--Of the three clips, which is the only one that actually ended with a flag?

3--Seriously, how big a tool is the "Wrong choice, buddy" guy?

This is why it's so idiotic to allow refs to take away scores next year--it's using a howitzer to kill a gnat because there are only a small handful of plays that are so egregious that they take away from the game (and which merit a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff, and guys can (and probably will) take away scores for much more minor issues. You want proof of why this is a stupid rule? The head of officiating said that the KSU play was called properly, and if asked, would almost certainly say the same about the non-calls on the plays above. Which means two things (either/or/both): first, that he's lying through his teeth to cover for his boys, and second, that it's a judgment call, so (shrug) whatever the ref calls or doesn't is right.

Dennis

I've got no particular hatred for any team's fans. I'm a UT fan, but I'm not a lifelong diehard fan or anything (I moved to Knoxville from Ohio for grad school); I spend a good portion of my time at any game shaking my head in wonder/disgust at the way that people in the student section treat fans of other teams. I'm also pulling for the rest of the SEC this bowl season, but things are certainly off to a bad start--I think anyone who follows the conference knows that it's been a pretty down year for the SEC, but it sucks going 0-for the first-3 (Georgia-UCF was especially embarassing). Hopefully the heavy hitters will come through (proof that it's a down year? Mississippi State counts as a heavy hitter this year).

BTW, what's up with the Weis to Florida rumors? Terrible news for everyone else in the SEC, but a great hire if you get him. But I'm still not sure why he would go back to college, which seems like it has to be a pay cut--maybe setting himself up for a second go-round as HC somewhere in college since it's almost certain he's not going to get one in the NFL?

Dennis

Okay, in the other thread I made my objections to the end of the Music City Bowl. Still, when compared to the way the Pinstripe Bowl ended, it was a model of great officiating.

In case you missed it, Kansas State was losing by eight to Syracuse in the closing moments of the game. Then they got a touchdown to draw them within two. Then this happened:

Here's what the K-State player said after the game:

>>"Soon as it happened, [the official] said, 'Wrong choice buddy,' and looked at me," Hilburn said. "And I ran off and I'm like, 'Uh, OK.' And then I see a flag, and I'm like, 'Oh really? For that?'"<<

On its own, the call it terrible. If that was what the ref actually said to the kid after throwing the flag, it's a disgrace. You can make a bad call, but do you have to be a prick about it? Is Ted Valentine working football games now?

And congratulations, fans and players--refs like this tool will be able to decide whether or not a touchdown counts next year.

Dennis

@brownandorange said:

That was wild. Unfortunately, it is impossible for an NFL game to end in that fashion because of the run-off rule.

Okay, I'll put aside my UT student/fan homerism for a minute and say that there's no way that we should have let them march down the field with 30 seconds left to be in a position to tie the game. Plus the team went way too conservative down the stretch and Bray threw an inexcusable interception in OT to pretty much seal it.

However...

I'm almost certain that the NCAA will institute some kind of runoff rule for next year specifically because of games like this. It's an absolute joke that UNC was able to run a play with somewhere between 15-18 players on the field (12 lined up for the play, including a QB with a PK and holder lined up for a kick behind him), with several of them running off the field (in motion) at the snap and not be penalized. That matters because illegal participation (12 or more involved in the play, not just running off the field) is a 15-yarder, not a 5-yarder.

And they apparently accepted that the multiple players on the field, multiple players in motion, etc. wasn't pre-snap (like a false start) which, if I understand the rules correctly, would have meant that they started the clock on the ref's "ready to play" signal rather than on the snap of the ball, in which case the clock would have run out.

And, as Derek Dooley pointed out, by rule if a team makes substitutions, the umpire is supposed to stand over the ball and not allow it to be snapped until the defense has a chance to make subsitutions. Which obviously didn't happen, as UNC was essentially allowed to run the spike with two units on the field at the same time...

Thanks, now my blood pressure is up again.

What's that Jimmy Johnson said about putting yourself in a position to let the refs affect the game?

This is one of those instances where you go, "Wow, how dumb do you have to be..." While things have gotten better than the days of Dexter Manley getting out of college while still illiterate, schools bend over backwards to keep their players academically eligible (which isn't quite the same as getting them educated, but they're kind of similar). Most D-1 schools (and I would lay money that OSU has these) have a ton of facilities for athletes, from special tutors to academic compliance coordinators who rigorously keep track of players' studies. This isn't just in the revenue sports; I've gotten as many e-mails in the past from the athletic academic advisors for cross-country runners as I have for basketball players.

Long story short, a lot of kids have trouble making the academic transition to college, but given all the resources they're given, athletes have to really screw things up not the be academically eligible.

Dennis

An up-and-down week in college football. From a purely selfish perspective, it sucked out loud for Tennessee. Losing to Florida and LSU were predictable, if painful--especially the LSU game. But Georgia rebounded from losing to Colorado by pummeling UT. There's no worse pain than getting worked over by a team that just lost to a team coached by Dan Hawkins (if nothing else, it showed just how bad a job Phil Fulmer in his last years and Lane Kiffin did in recruiting, especially when it came to "unsexy" positions like the offensive and defensive lines--at one point, the Vols had three true freshman and a juco transfer on the offensive line; the team is depressingly untalented and it would be a minor miracle if we ended with five wins). On the upside, Nick Saban lost, LSU beat Florida in an entertaining game, and Lane Kiffin lost on a painful last-second field goal for the second week in a row.

Here's what happened in the contest this week:

Big Winner of the Week: Jax Buckeyes Pimp had an impressive 13 points this week.

Okay, things are starting to slow down a little bit, so let's try to get back to normal. Speaking of back to normal with regards to football and football fans, this week featured 1) another Browns loss; and 2) another Browns loss that left Browns fans talking about just how much the loss proves that the Browns are improving. Which means that Eric Mangini has impressively matched his achievement from last year of coaching what is apparently the best 1-4 team in the NFL. Say what you will about the Mangenius, but he's nothing if not consistent.

Anyway, to the contest. Here's what happened this week:

I wouldn't be shocked to see a rematch of the Rose Bowl in the National Championship game this year. I haven't seen much of Ohio State this year, but I had the chance to see Oregon up close when they came to UT earlier this year. Tennessee is mediocre on its best day this season, but after a slow start they absolutely blew our doors off in the second half. UT threw one pick-six, but Oregon's other 41 points (35 in the second half) came on big plays and lots of them. At the time, I thought that it was possible that I would get to see both participants in the NC game in person this year (Alabama comes to town in a couple of weeks), but at this point, if they win out it'll be UO-OSU.

Which should be an entertaining game--Oregon is insanely fast, especially on offense (and fun to watch so long as your team isn't playing them).

The team has been in both games. Then again, it's not like they've been playing the Colts and Saints here--they've been competitive against two teams from the highly-selective club of teams that managed to be worse than the Browns last year. The difference is that both of those teams seem to have built off of last year, actually winning games. The Browns? Not so much. But then again, guys dumped Gatorade on Mangini after a thrilling 5-11 season, and Rob Ryan jumps around a lot, so clearly we're about to hit step three: PROFIT!

Dennis

It's baaaaack...

You know, I came here ready to write something about how the contest is like Death, Taxes, and a Childish Euphemism I Refuse to Type. But looking at the roster, I don't see that entry this year, so I guess I won't be replacing any childish euphemisms this year. Here's what happened this week:

Big Winner of the Week: Our big winner of the week is Zombo, with an impressive 10 points. Excellent job, Zip.

Shameful Dog of the Week: Gridiron Mayhem had but 1 point this week. More impressively, it's like like Gridiron just missed picking games; on Yahoo it looks like all of the games were picked, which makes 1 point a real feat.

This year--I don't remember seeing it in years past--Yahoo has started to break up the games into "Games 1-10" and "Games 11-Whatever." And the division held true last week: games 1-10 were a massacre for favorites, with West Virginia just escaping a humiliating loss to Marshall, double-digit favorite Georgia Tech losing at Kansas, and Virginia Tech getting shocked at home by James Madison (in non top-25 action, Minnesota lost to South Dakota, their second loss to an FCS team in three years--they get USC this week). Games 11-19 were more chalky.

Here's what happened this week:

Big Winner of the Week: HowieDawg, our resident Brit scored 13 points, 2 clear of the competition this week and good for the overall lead in the contest early on.

Shameful Dogs of the Week: Dency's Winners and Make Sweet Love to Michigan's Visage tied with a paltry 6 points each.

No, no, no...you misunderstand me, my dear Ballpeen--it wasn't a shot at the Gators, it was merely pointing out the oddity of you being one of the very small handful of people who picked Miami to beat the spread (which, given Florida's recent success and Miami's recent failures, wasn't all that big).

As for this weekend's game, my initial response to the spread (14 points) is that Florida should cover easily and will probably come close to doubling it.

Okay, sorry for the delay in the update, but here's what happened in week one: the favorites all won, and it was just a question of by how much--in many cases, it turned out that the answer was "a lot" (except for Florida, who parlayed a near-complete inability to get the ball from the center to the quarterback into a surprisingly tight game with Miami of Ohio, which was coming off a year in which they were one of the worst college football teams I've seen in a long time). Here are the results:

Big Winner of the Week: Thaak, with 13 points

Surprisingly Correct Pick of the Week: Ballpeen, our resident Florida homer, somehow managed to be one of the few people not to pick the Gators to cover the spread against what has been a terrible Miami team.

Shameful Dog of the Week: Make Sweet Love to Michigan's Visage, with 7 points

Shameful Dog, Awesome Winning Percentage of the Week: In terms of sheer number of correct picks, nmills had by far the fewest, with 1 point. However, he also only picked one game, making him tops in the competition this week with a 1.000 batting average. Keep up the good work, slugger!

Here's how the rest of it turned out:

If you can't figure out the season-to-date, then there's something wrong with you.
