Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread Mississippi State

I think there’s a game Saturday. But I think everyone is focused on Friday.
Football is the best and worst thing to happen to this rendition of basketball.

If it was Tark’s teams, we’d have been talking about them nonstop since last season.

Since this year is same as the last several, we’ve all seen this movie 3-4 times so we are more focused on this new storyline that we’ve never heard of before.

I think Boise St is getting screwed by the committee. There is no reason they should be behind SMU or Indiana based on actual results. There only loss is on the road by 3 to Oregon better than any loss those teams have (SMU home by 3 to BYU and Indiana crushed at Ohio State). Boise State has the only win against another ranked CFP team. There is no reason based on the published criteria that they should be behind those teams.

Also I think Syracuse should be ahead of UNLV based on all results. I’m glad they are not as that would put UNLV too close to AAC teams for comfort.
Indiana in particular they have beaten NO ONE. Voters are infatuated because they run up the score on dog teams like Purdue. And got boat raced by the one good team they played.

Maiva is a guy that if he cleans up some of the decision making could be a special QB.

His issue isn't arm strength. It's not accuracy. He's mobile enough.

He just has a habit of putting the ball in danger. More than you would like.

To be honest, I'm not sure Miller Moss was the only issue at USC.
I agree I chalked some of that to being a freshman but so far it looks like he is just a gunslinger. I am curious how this season would have gone if he had stayed.

The guy who couldn't beat out Maiava who many people on here seemed lukewarm with. Bring him in to compete, but he isn't someone I would write a huge NIL check to.

Wow, I like seeing the confidence some of our fans have. Helps ease my lack of confidence a little bit. Maybe I have too much respect for Jeanty, maybe I’m clinging to their history too much … and our own too much.

I kinda feel like we are SDSU basketball 2004/5 wherever it was. Clearly better than they were previously, but not quite getting over the hump. Needing a few chances. But once they did, they owned the conference and became the new kingpin.
Honestly, I don't feel like Jeanty or anything else Boise did beat us. I really feel as if the Rebels did more to beat themselves than anything Boise did. Clean up some mistakes this time around and things may be different.
