    Default College ball

    Well, another exciting season!
    All I am gonna say is, Go Red Raiders!!
    I wonder who will go all the way. Bama? Georgia? USC? Texas?, ugh! Penn St? How about Utah? They are 10th.

    Texas vs. Tech is gonna be good. So is Georgia vs. Florida. My wife is from Georgia, and she is beside herself.


    It should be interesting as the season rolls on!

    Man, the Big 12 is touch this year. What, 4 teams in the top 10? 2 or 3 in the top 5?

    I'm an Iowa State fan. We're probably going to have to become a Division II school to complete anymore, unless Chizek figures this thing out and turns it around.

    You guys ain't gonna like this but I don't see Penn State losing and I don't see Texas and Bama both running the table and winning their conf championship games so I think you're gonna see another Big 10 rep in the BCS Championship Game. The other school could be any number of 1 loss teams. If anyone else goes undefeated it'll be Texas.

    That's because they always have an easy schedule, till they play each other.

    I could see Penn State playing in the Championship.
    I hope Tech beats Texas!

    It wouldnt surprise me to see Penn State vs. USC in the BCS Championship game. (hope not)

    All schools schedule easy non conference games. Its a matter of survival. People have blasted my Buckeyes for their non conf schedule but this decade alone they have played home and away against Texas and now USC. All three of those schools deserve credit for making that happen. You have to remember not only would OSU be careful about their non conference schedule but if you had National championship hopes would you put the Buckeyes on your schedule if you didn't have to?

    I love the tradition of the bowls and I love the week to week drama of the current system but it does have flaws that would be fixed by a playoff. But does that mean a playoff system is better? The regular season would lose alot of weekly meaning and fun. A playoff system rewards the team that is hot at the end just like pro sports. The current system rewards year long consistency. Its not easy to go undefeated no mater what conference you're in. Ask USC. Every year there are 10-15 qualified "playoff teams" and maybe 6-8 "contenders" for the championship. Under the current system someone will be left out. In a playoff someone could get hot and win out, like last years NY Giants did in the super bowl. I'm just preaching the merits of both ways and not really sure which way I want it. I just want to be entertained. I think I like the tradition of college ball and I'll watch the NFL for the playoffs.

    I agree, Snowman, I just thought I'd throw that in there.
    It's fun, that's for sure! My wife watches her Georgia Bulldogs, but she aint like me;she cant just sit and watch college football all day.

    Another reason why I love college football. Anything can happen at any time.

    I found out something last night. A briefing on the BSC rankings. Arnie Spanier had Richard Billingsley on his show. Richard Billingsley works for BCS.
    The way the BCS rankings work, is what your rank is vs the opponent's rank, strength of schedule. If you are #10, and you beat #1 team, you could jump in front of the #9 team, even after the #9 team won, because #9 team beat a non-ranking opponent. For an example, Alabama dropped this week, and Penn State jumped, because Penn State beat, Ohio State (then, #5), and Alabama beat Tennessee (then #42) He talked about the Top 3, which all are currently undefeated. (Tex, Penn St, Bama) It could be very interesting if all Top 3 teams win all out. He said, "Dont be surprised if "your team" drops in the rankings at the end of the season, yet they won. It's all depending on the strength of opponent." He said that Margin of Victory is not in the computers. He said, "It does not matter how bad you blow someone out. It's all on the strength of the opponent." I believe him, but it's hard to believe.

    I'd still like to know why some conferences are non-BCS. (Boise St, Utah, etc) Wonder if that means that those teams have not won a BCS Championship, since BCS has been around. I've never understood that.

    I won't be taking the kids to the Tech game because it will be a freaking madhouse there. But you better believe we'll be watching. I tried to watch the New Orleans game this weekend but Doug was home visiting the kids and he was like...I didn't know you liked football. I was thinking......there's a lot of things you don't know about me but..are you serious? How in the world can you not know that?!?! I think TTU has a good team this year. I have no clue how it will all turn out...but I love to watch it! My little sister is a Husker...it was great getting to razz her a couple of weeks ago. My college didn't have a football team so I have adopted TTU since being here in Lubbock. I love their all black uniforms. They have been selling "blackout" shirts here like crazy...it should be an awesome site to see.

    Cool.
    Wreck em Tech!
    When I get to the warehouse tonight, I may have to go over to the Flyin J, and see if they have any black shirts in there.

    Jack, Boise St and Utah are not in conferences recognized as being Championship worthy in Football. Only 6 conferences are considered BCS worthy in D-1. ACC, Big East, Pac-10, Big 12, Big-10, and the SEC. It's all a big joke because those are considered the money maker conferences for the NCAA.

    What's stupid about the SOS(Strength of Schedule) is that the Buckeyes were ahead of USC after USC destroyed them. Hopefully this past weekend fixed that but it was a stupid flaw that made no sense. USC has played a much stronger schedule than OSU thus far across the board.

    Yep, and that was the worst thing in the world that could happen to Penn State. Tech is now #2 and they are saying there's something like 6 teams that could have 1 loss and would be ahead of an undefeated Penn State in the BCS standings when all is said and done.

    Coach Fulmer is gone at the end of this year.

    They were once a big powerhouse!

    Tim Tebow reminds me of Brady. He's good, but I'd like to see him taken off on a stretcher.

    Tebow could play LB with his size.

    Sucks for PSU, they might be the only undefeated team left with a shot at the National Title outside of Utah and Boise St and not get a shot. Maybe that will finally be enough to scrap the BCS. The computers don't like them very much in these first 3 weeks. The only thing that would look right, if Alabama, Texas Tech and PSU all run the table. You can say that Texas Tech deserves to be in for running the guantlet and knocking off 4 Top 10 teams in a 5 game stretch. Alabama would then get in if they win out over a Top 5 Florida. Who has PSU beaten? An OSU team that isn't as good as advertised.

    And if Ohio State loses another game, Penn State is finished for a BCS title shot.

    I dont think I've ever heard that one before.
    It wouldnt surprise me if USC did make it to the big game. They always find a way.
