BRFL Week 3 Results

 Week 3. Still not sure about any of these teams. 

Q: BYU Mormons. Bye week. Yawn. Nothing plus nothing. Stay at +5 and unranked. 

Chiba Chews: Boise State Broncos. Also a Bye week. It's not so much a question of 'do they suck?'. It's more, 'when do we know for sure that they suck?' 

Zeroes across the board. Remain at minus 4 and unranked as hell. Lots of work to do here, Dippy.

DogTheBountyHunter: 24 -16, the road win against ... Arkansas State. AP thought this was kind of a big deal (why?). 1 for the win, 2 for the move up to #12, a no drop point, 4 on the week, new total is 17 and that's pretty damn good. However, this is a Big12 Team and who the fuck knows with that conference?

 

Lola. 34 -14, the ritual sacrifice of Northwestern, in Evanston. Everybody knows that Northwestern has been a shell of themselves since they dumped Pat Fitzgerald and stopped hazing, so the AP docks the Ducks minus 2. L-woman doesn't pick up the no drop point. So, for a road win that was kind of an ass-kicking, she gets minus 1 on the week and drops to +2 on the year, #6 AP.

No justice, no peace.

Ronde': Tennessee hosts Georgia. It is a hell of a game. Back and forth they go. We've covered this in GG. Tennessee loses 41 - 40 in overtime after an epic fail by their kicker. 

That's what you get when you violate child labor laws. 

Up top here is a gif of the Georgia Tech kicker (an adult) laying Clemson to rest with a 55 yard post-splitter from the logo, on 4th down with no time outs, as the clock ticks to zero. I think his foot actually hits the ball with 1 second on the clock. So, kicking under pressure CAN be done. 

Here's the thing; The AP saw Tennessee vs Georgia as a tie, basically. Tennessee doesn't move in the poll (still #15) and El Ronde' picks up the no drop point. Ends the week with 14 total. Never seen that before. 

DPo: Are you shitting me? Nebraska mauls some school called 'Houston Christian' (fun campus), 59 - 7. That's like Ohio State playing Grambling State only, somehow, a little more fair since it's Nebraska. You get one for this. Total 6 and you are still unranked. 

A chance for your men to prove themselves this week. 

SockPuppet: Texas A&M bests Notre Dame 41 - 40 in SouthBend. This was a great game but it's starting to look like Notre Dame doesn't have a defense. Why do teams keep hiring Chris Ash to run their defense? He is not very good. Anyway. Good news for Sock. 1 for the win, buckets of AP love (6) and no drop adds up to 8 on the week, a season total of 15 and #10 in the AP. Nice. 

KBro: SMU pushes Missouri State around, 28 -10 on the road. 1 for the win. Move up to minus 12. Ponies are still unranked. It could be worse.

$$uke: Sun Devils entertain the Texas State Bobcats. Trounce them 34 - 15. (Their two TDs came when the game was out of reach). The AP is totally unimpressed. 1 for the win. $$uke remains at the bottom of the ocean, minus 17 and unranked. 'Zona State defense improved, offense still seems lost. 

Psycho: The fighting Illini molest Western Meechy 38 -0, in Champaign, and the Bert Bielema train keeps a rollin'. Just one for the win, 1 for the no drop, new total is 9, AP rank is #9. Show down with the Hoosiers this week.

Timmy! LSU dumps a floundering Florida eleven at home, 20 -10. Everybody now knows that LSU can't run the football. Brian Kelly goes full Brian Kelly with a purple-face assault on a reporter who dared to bring this up. You've all seen it. 1 for the win, 1 for the no drop, total is 10 on the season, still #3 AP.

McLovin: Alabama pounds Wisconsin in Tuscaloosa, 38 - 14. I guess this is a big deal. The AP thought so. 1 for the win, 5 from the AP (5?), 1 for the no drop, +7 on the week, minus 5 on the season. I smell 'comeback'. Alabama is #14 AP.

Big Dom: On the road against Wyoming, the Utes down the Cowboys 31 - 6. A quality road win (I guess) and the AP loves it. 1 for the win, 4 for the move up to #16 AP, 1 for the no drop, 6 on the week and Big Dom is in the lead with 22 already. Which pisses me off.

BreauxFreaux: Memphis on the road against Troy. Get the 'W' (28 -7) and get out. 1 for the win. Total 6. Still unranked. Is there a meaningful game on the schedule? You'd better hope so, Breaux. 

That's it for Week 3. See also the spread sheet which is correct.
