How is UTEP destroying the #12 team in the country?

BadNina · 10-03-09, 10:43 PM

Perhaps Houston thought they only had to show up to win.

teaserpleaser · 10-03-09, 10:45 PM

Houston is good dont know wtf is going on there

pavyracer · 10-03-09, 10:48 PM

If you don't look at rankings and spreads the actual game is played by 11 men facing another 11 men with the sole purpose of winning the game which means anything is possible.

The General · 10-03-09, 10:49 PM

Houston, Boise, TCU, even Mia (FL) good to see change in the rankings and more parity although Boise is not new to the top tier in rankings. S Fla, Cincy & BYU.

And Houston has not even lost yet still good chance to win

toastedbread01 · 10-03-09, 10:56 PM

Boise should be out of the top 25 after tonight. Not a "BCS" type performance.

They are undefeated and have some very strong performances, no team has been great every week.

UC Davis has played well against 1a opponents before as well, the line was wrong but that does not mean they played that bad.

Down 17 with 9 mins left is not lookin good, UTEP was absolutely horrible last week lost 64-7 to Texas just didnt see them knocking out the 12th ranked team but this is football so congrats to the Miners just not sure what they were doin the rest of the season

hoopster42 · 10-03-09, 11:06 PM

simple, houston overlooked utep cause utep has been shitty, though utep brought back alot of guys from last yr so were expected to be better, guess they finally put it together this week

toastedbread01 · 10-03-09, 11:06 PM

Um... UC Davis lost 51-0 at Fresno this season. Today's game should not have even been remotely competitive.

Iwinyourmoney · 10-03-09, 11:07 PM

Lost a lot of points on this

Fishhead · 10-03-09, 11:11 PM

UTEP has a very capable QB............is he good when on.

last year UC Davis lost both of their games agains 1A teams by only a FG. Anything can happen in one game, Boise is definitely a top 10 team.

and of course Boise blew out that Fresno team on the road, you have to play the games the best team is not going to always win or win by the amount they would on average.

romoney · 10-03-09, 11:13 PM

Like i said Have fun being dropped from the top 25 houston, if not this week, then soon

If Oregon keeps winning games by large margins, BOISE STATE deserves at least a top six ranking...........

They only played one FBS team last year, which was SJSU the last game of the year. (SJSU is terrible) UC Davis is absolutely brutal, and they would most likely lose by 60+ against teams such as USC, OU, Miami, etc...

The BIG 12 stinks!!!!!

They were making a big deal out of Houston defeating two teams from the BIG 12..........if those teams were not Texas or Oklahoma.........who cares.

rm18 · 10-03-09, 11:35 PM

Keenum has 536 yards 5TD's and no picks still could win the Heisman

PorkChop · 10-03-09, 11:35 PM

Nickelicious · 10-03-09, 11:38 PM

Is this one of those classic bets when some people say, "I made the right play but lost the bet" or some other bullshit?

I bet on Houston. It was the wrong play.

doesn't matter how good your offense is when you give up 58 pts

SBR_John · 10-04-09, 12:15 AM

Houston was a bit of a fake. They played a couple of great games and thought they could just show up and get a W. They dont have USC or even UCLA talent. If they dont play great even a dog like UTEP will run with them. Being ranked 12th was a joke. I saw 3 UTEP games before this one and they are as sorry of a team as one could imagine. I think we could organize a team of posters and probably beat them.

romoney · 10-04-09, 12:18 AM

LOL I will be the QB of that team and it will be fun

injuries guy. gresham, the best TE in the country doesnt even see the field this season. bradford hurt 2nd quarter in gm 1. top wr broyles hurt last night. 2 losses by 1 pt w/all these injuries. bad luck. do you think you would go better than 9-3 if brantley had to play qb all season? i dont think so

College football is one of the most unpredictable sports out there

Not surprised

awholelottalumps · 10-05-09, 04:15 AM

It's called an emotional letdown.They were coming off a hard fought home win vs Texas Tech.Case in point last week these teams played close games,but ended up losing and they were Indiana lost by 3 to Michigan,Clemson lost by 4 to TCU,Mississippi State lost by 4 to LSU and were stopped at the goal line late in that game,UNLV lost by 3 at Wyoming,Arizona State lost by 3 at Georgia,Purdue lost by 3 to Notre Dame and Florida Atlantic who lost at home by 2 to La Monroe.My point is it's difficult for a team to come back from a tough loss or in Houston's case a tough win and get up emotionally for the next game.Betting against teams that fit the catergory(Indiana,Clemson,Mississippi State,UNLV,Purdue,Florida Atlantic,and Houston) and you would have went 7-0.Go against teams that lost tough games the week before and you'll find yourself winning more then losing.Virginia Tech much like Houston was in a similar situation at Duke as they played uninspired and only won by 8 after defeating Miami.Teams that lose close games this week were Georgia,Purdue,Minnesota(there playing Purdue at home,but I would side with Minnesota here as Purdue is coming off two tough losses,Iowa State,Ball State,Marshall,Colorado State,Air Force,Michigan, and Washington.

College is very predictable if you limit your bets..... but when there's 200 games on Saturday it gets hard..... JJ see my NCAAF thread for the 3 bets that won..... and yes UTEP was one of them.
