A little rich saying 'don't copy this information'
The only other place I know this happens is on premium boards where people pay money for content from a specialised journalist who's job is to cover something minor and needs income to cover it.

For example, I pay money to have access to the premium board on a Boise State forum. As the journalist puts his articles up on that board covering recruiting it's fair that that recruiting information isn't taken anywhere else. This is a major rule on it as in the past bleachereport and BroncoNationNews have stolen stuff off this premium board and shared it.

And this is very easily accessible information that anyone can find, not really worth complaining about being shared.

1 other thing. I view this as auxiliary information and it shouldn't be the OP.
College football interest isn't as high as NFL interest here so you need a stimulating discussion to instantly arise to activate discussion and just naming games wont do that.
In the NFL threads you can get away with the auxiliary information kick-starting the thread as it'll naturally evolve based on the news of the day. But here on the college thread, you need more of opinion piece to get readers in and grow interest. Facts are for those into it. Other than us 3 and U2Tigers, who's really going to care about the massive list of games? 90% of people on this board wouldn't know the difference in standard between an Ohio vs Buffalo Tuesday night MACtion game and a Baylor vs. TCU blockbuster.

Because of this the raw facts isn't enough. I agree it needs to be here, but not opening the post. You need an in-depth look into it talking about the individual games. If it's every team in the top 25, every ranked team, every game or just the televised games. I really don't care. But there needs to be something. Something to get partial observers of the game to read the thread which will naturally lead to more viewers and greater discussion.

I'm more than happy to do one, but I'm of the belief the write-up needs to be the OP and this auxiliary information the first reply. If you want to do a write-up, be my guest, but I am in a firm belief the OP for a college thread needs to be an opinion piece as it's more likely to pull in the casual college fan and unfortunately, there's not many of us on this forum.

For the last few years i had the games before Foxtel knew what would be show.

No but after more then a year without giving credit to Bigfooty and passing it off as their own. Its not drawing more traffic to bigfooty and just lazy to steel someone elses work. I wouldnt care if it was linked back to bigfooty or not obviously stolen without changing the format. Just link back and draw more fans to bigfooty is all i was asking and then it was still happening.

And i have other problems with the power abusing, want-to-be elitist. try hards that mod whirlpool.

Going to be at Red River this weekend

Cannot wait

ESPN3 schedule updated, but no gameday on ESPN3 so nowhere to watch it this weekend.

PAC-12 struggling to make the playoff unless Utah proves to be legit imo. Can see all the top teams being 2 loss going into the championship game.

Houston rolling on, AAC strong this year, big chance the G5 NY6 spot comes out of there

How is the Pac-12 struggling the the conference goes through Stanford since they have home games against UCLA, Oregon and Cal to come, dont play Utah this season unless they play in the championship game. Cal is a huge improvement this year, USC are USC [Always overrated and under preform. With Sark incapable of halftime adjustments]. North is down to Stanford and Cal, South is Utah and UCLA. the Cal Vs Utah game tomorrow is huge.

Ohio State are just as unimpressive this season as FSU were last season, the voters only kept FSU in the playoffs because they had no loss. BIG10 also have Northwestern and Iowa playing great in the west. Ohio State have to get through Michigan State and Michigan in back to back weeks to end the season and win the East.

Clemson will drop a game to some scrub with 1 win like every time they are a contender, FSU are also 4-0 right now, Duke are playing well on the otherside of the ACC.

Big12 have 4 unbeaten teams right now and 3 of them look like they could stay that way with Baylor, TCU and Oklahoma. Late losses are hard to overcome in the eyes of the committee, teams can over come a loss in the first 2 weeks. and as soon as you get a 2nd loss you are done. Also still no championship game. There could be a 3 way tie for first.

The SEC is not as powerful as it once was, teams are more equal and unexpected teams like Florida and A&M have bounced back. Auburn, Mizzou, South Carolina, Tennessee and Miss State have all taken nose dives. A&M and LSU own the West and Florida holds the East with Florida going to LSU in a few weeks. and LSU play A&M in the last week and both still have Bama and Ole Miss. The SEC could miss out by having a 2 loss champ.

Didn't say the conference is struggling, it is up there in strength particularly the south, I said they would be struggling to make the playoffs, and I did say it was my opinion. I don't think a 2 loss PAC-12 champion will make the playoff as I think there will be at least 1 one loss or better team coming out of the B1G, Big 12 and AAC. SEC might have a 2 loss champion, but they are in a better position for a loss or better champion at the moment, and I think a 2 loss SEC champ probably gets in over a 2 loss PAC-12 champ - it would be a tough choice but SEC won the only H2H this year and ESPN.

So in my opinion PAC 12 needs a one loss champ which comes down to 4 teams, Utah, Cal, UCLA and Stanford. Cal I don't rate that highly, I think their defence is suspect and wouldn't be surprised to see them finish with 4/5 losses. UCLA@Stanford on Thursday gives one of them 2 losses, I actually UCLA winning this game but if Stanford wins then their schedule is pretty good but I think one of Oregon or Notre Dame beats them. UCLA finishes Utah, USC, I don't see them winning out. Utah could, but they have to play the whole of the South, but can also take a loss and still make it. Maybe I am too down on Stanford, I just don't see them winning out.

Are they not allowed to show GameDay on Espn2 or something? There's only replays on 2

Do you really want to watch it when I know at least 2 people will be waving Boise State flags during the whole shows duration?

They're talking about the SEC, so I win.

 

[Richo is God]

Well, atleast the horns haven't given up a score yet.

 

[Richo is God]

Horns have come to play

 

[nobbyiscool]

Much as I loathe my insomnia, it's been ok tonight. I got a shitload of uni work done...

Before I started enjoying the hell out of this Ok/Texas game

 

[nobbyiscool]

The lack of ads, thus letting us hear the band play at half time is awesome

Bond, Star Wars, and even a bit of Space Odeyssey - of course, now known as Ric Flairs music

How good is it without ads. Especially since they only have about 4 that they play on endless loop

 

[Richo is God]

Inspired win by the Horns!

* nick chubb just broke his knee on the first play

 

[U2tigers]

Chubbs is a big loss for Georgia. Tennessee just gone ahead in that one.

I had The Bulldogs taking the East this year but, this will definately set them back, where I don't think they can.

 

[Exe Gesis]

 

[aussiedude]

Chubb might have a broken leg. the look of it was bad. his leg went the wrong way when it hit the turf.

 

[aussiedude]

K-State playing good. Up 28-17 on TCU with 5mins left in the first half. I hope they dont stop playing with 2 mins left and give up the win like lastweek @ OK State

 

[aussiedude]

TCU have 4th and 15. and have a 13yd punt

 

[aussiedude]

K-State up 35-17 at the half
