Penn State played poorly, but a bullshit pass interference call on the last drive kept Iowa alive.

BCS poll out later tonight...
How was that a bullshit PI call? The safety hit the WR before the ball got there. Even the announcers called it that way. I would much prefer that Iowa would have completed a pass for the first down as opposed to getting it via a penalty, but it was the correct call.
PSU needed to generate more than 86 yards of offense in the last 30 minutes. They didn't, and that's why they lost.
Maybe a Penn State v. Oregon State rematch in the Rose Bowl at this rate...
SC can't get style points for their stellar defense and Coach Carroll looks like a guy finally on the way out...I really think he'll entertain a SF 49er offer...time to get out; despite the win, this team really upsets me...hey, Pete; take Mark Sanchez with you...there was a good article in Rivals earlier this week...suggests that Pete Carroll has basically removed all of the top talent from the rest of the PAC-10 as he gets them to commit to SC; it makes his team 5-deep at certain key positions and his acquisitions weaken the rest of the league...he'd rather stockpile these kids than take a chance that they would play for another team and come back to beat him...I'm pissed.

The conference doesn't deserve an automatic BCS berth.
I just talked to my cousin. He had booked a hotel for Miami for the National Championship Game, knowing they would be in high demand. He just called to cancel the reservations.

Is a university, for instance, SC, bound to a certain conference? What does it take for a school to withdraw and declare itself an Independent? Anyone?
Hokies coordinator Foster to interview for Clemson job
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said he told his players after a 16-14 loss to Miami on Thursday night that defensive coordinator Bud Foster will interview for the Clemson job, most likely on Friday.
"I believe it's tomorrow," Beamer said Thursday night. "I just told our people in there I wish him well. He's done a great job for us and he deserves the opportunity."
Foster, who has spent the past 13 seasons as the Hokies' defensive coordinator, has earned respect throughout the country as a motivator and is regarded as one of the game's top assistants. His defenses have been among the nation's best in recent years.
In 2006, he won the Broyles Award, which is given to the top assistant in the country. His 2005 and 2006 teams both led the nation in total defense.
Foster is one of several candidates who have been confirmed as interviewing for the job to replace Tommy Bowden, who stepped down on Oct. 13 after 10 seasons there. Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables and former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin also have interviewed with Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips in the past two weeks.
"It definitely hurt" to hear the news, cornerback Victor "Macho" Harris said. "It's my last year, but he's a great, great, great teacher, great helper, I mean a great father figure in our lives. I'm not saying he's going to get the job, but just to have that piece missing, if he does get the job it will definitely hurt me and the younger guys behind me. I know they'll be hurt. I kind of want to be selfish and hope he doesn't get the job, but at the same time, Coach Foster deserves everything he gets."
The Tigers also are interested in talking to Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson, a Clemson alumnus, and Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, according to multiple sources.
Interim Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, whose Tigers have won one of three games following Bowden's resignation, also is considered a possible candidate for the full-time position.
I really think Shone Greene should get some love for the Heisman I know he's a semi finialist for the Doak, and probably will come down between him and Ringer. But SG has the same stats (actually more Rush Yards on almost 100 fewer carries), but plays on a team that's 7-4 and been under the radar.
He's racked up all of these yards against teams preparing to stop him. This is a guy who was working at a Furniture store last year for a few months to help pay for his school and get back into Iowa. Yeah, he's not the brightest, but he has worked hard to get back.
He was not in game shape in the losses at Pitt and Northwestern (actually got his bell rung in the latter). Had he been in good shape, probably would have won those two games easily. Wudda, Cudda, Shudda though.
Anyway, just trying to plug the best player on Iowa, and probably the best player in the Big10 for sure considering what he's had to work with (offense that can't pass).
He's only gotten stronger throughout the year. Just want to see a good kid get some much needed exposure (and it's good for Iowa heehee)
The Seminoles fucking suck. They could've taken control of the ACC Atlantic, but found a way to fuck it up. I could've sworn BC ran the same 2-3 running plays down the stretch that totally killed us in the last quarter. The fake punt run and RB pass were fantastic though.
If they beat Maryland next week and pray that BC beats Wake, they can win the division. If not, they're done.
They also have no chance of winning the Florida game, at all. Urban Meyer is the best coach in college football, and if you're not sure, ask him.
Are you going to the FSU/UF game? I'm thinking about driving up to Tally...
Saw Urban Meyer jogging down frat row the other day too!
The Penn State-Iowa game was definitively an outlier for Penn State, and, unfortunately, they're done because the Big Ten sucks.How the heck did Penn State lose to Iowa?
Michigan State is not playing badly at all, but they're down 28-7 to PSU at half.
Texas is out of luck when it comes to the National Championship.
