Good College football games coming up

I think you are wrong. They have at best a 59.9932% chance.

How well is Tennessee ready for the triple option? They'll only face it once this year I'm sure it's not a high priority.

If you're not ready for it, look out.

Like I mentioned, when I posted that, I was unaware of what was happening in Pasadena. At one point during the VT-WV game I learned that Texas A&M was crushing UCLA badly and lost all interest in that game given that when I don't support any of the teams, I won't watch a lopsided game. So, I kept watching exclusively the VT-WV game, and only learned of the UCLA comeback much later. Otherwise I'd have watched both games on split screen.

"What does that do to A&M's psyche for the rest of the year?"

Nothing good, LOL. After all, this was the second biggest collapse in NCAAF history, a stat you don't want your team to be known for. They were only one point behind the biggest comeback, a 35-point deficit erased by Michigan State in 2006 versus Northwestern, to beat them 41-38. Northwestern was ahead 38-3 with 9:54 left in the third quarter.

Given that UCLA had 5:44 fewer minutes to erase the deficit, one can arguably say that this *was* the biggest comeback in history. It seems harder to erase a 34-point deficit in 19 minutes as opposed to a 35-point deficit in 25 minutes, if you factor in how many points per minute you'll need to accomplish. That's about 1.84 points per minute for UCLA versus 1.4 points per minute for Michigan State. Even if you factor in that Michigan State went a bit above what they needed and scored 38 points in that interval it still gives you an average of 1.52 ppm. Also, the Michigan State-Northwestern game was marred by the fact that neither team was any good and they both finished 4-8 that season, while Texas A&M and UCLA are decent teams.

Another interesting thing is that Texas A&M has collapsed late in the last three seasons, with starts of 6-0, 5-0, and 5-0; then they fumbled in November in all three seasons, putting Kevin Sumlin on the hot seat.

So now they didn't wait for November to stink up the place. It's gotta hurt.

The largest comeback in NFL history was 32 points, by the Bills against the Houston Oilers, on January 3, 1993. They needed overtime to win, though.

So, given the points-per-minute calculation I did above, those lucky enough to have watched this game (unfortunately I'm not included) may have witnessed the biggest comeback in the sport of high-level football, including the top division of the NCAAF and the NFL. Good stuff.
