In the Big12 game, ASU's Skattebo has 140yds on 10 carries and 2TDs

In the MAC game, Ohio has 305 total yards & 21 1st downs and Miami OH has 99 / 5

In the Big12 game, ASU's Skattebo has 140yds on 10 carries and 2TDs

He’s as good as advertised.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Looking very much like ASU will be in the playoff. Surprise team of the year.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I was really really wrong about the Big 12 Championship being a good game.

 

[BamaNation]

ASU scores again and just did a pick and scored again on an incredible catch.

Now..

Ia ST 10
ASU 38
3Q 6:27

 

[Tidewater]

I'm leaning towards Arizona State winning this game.

I'm leaning towards Arizona State winning this game.

They are stomping a mud hole in Iowas State. This is how a team gets excused from the playoff for their championship game appearance.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

ASU gets another TD after another turnover.

 

[bamafaninbham]

If this beatdown continues, has ASU done enough to make it into the Playoffs as the 4th best conference champ? Or will the committee put BSU in that spot?

No, Boise State has had a much better season.

 

[bamafaninbham]

So the top 4 spots will be (in no particular order) SEC champ, Big 10 champ, ACC champ, and Boise.

If Clemson beats SMU will they be ranked higher than ASU?? Thoughts?

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Interesting how conference realignments turn out well for some teams and not so well for others. ASU joined the Big 12 and is able to win it because Texas and Oklahoma left. Meanwhile the reason we Alabama fans are sweating it out right now is because we had to play new SEC member Oklahoma. Might have been very different for several teams without the realignments.

Pretty sure that ASU gets the # 4 spot and the bye in that situation…ranked 15th right now.

 

[BamaBoySince89]

I haven’t watched ASU all year so I couldn’t judge if they are as advertised but they look pretty good against ISU.

 

[Tidewater]

Vicious hit against the ISU QB.
I hope the ASU DC has a chat with ASU's #7. all you had to do to end this possession was move your head to the side when making that sack.
Gotta lose the drive-extending penalties.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

Quick question, well maybe two.
1) Where is everyone?’ Last year it was rocking by Wednesday.
2) Does Texas understand playing IN Georgia?

I’ve watched them a couple of times this year. They’ve come a long way from the Herm Edwards experiment. They have a young coach who seems be doing a great job. I doubt they can hold on to him but I also thought that about Matt Campbell at ISU.
