College ball
Well, another exciting season!
All I am gonna say is, Go Red Raiders!! http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0053.gif I wonder who will go all the way. Bama? Georgia? USC? Texas?, ugh! Penn St? How about Utah? They are 10th. http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0053.gif Texas vs. Tech is gonna be good. So is Georgia vs. Florida. My wife is from Georgia, and she is beside herself.http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0053.gif 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? :eek2:
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. :angryblue: |
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.

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.http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0053.gif 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. |

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. |
