BCS Bowl Thread

[Chris]

Not the man tonight

[Andy]

This is absolutely mind-boggling what the Gators have done to Ohio State. One offensive touchdown.

 

EIGHTY-ONE offensive yards.

look at the teams out of conference schedules before you say stuff like this please. your are def wrong.

 

 

dont be such a tool. he said tosu only played other big ten teams. they beat texas when texas was #2. he said UM only beat big 10 teams. they beat ND. Way to prove me wrong on something I wasn't arguing about. Next time maybe post something relevent to what is being discussed, okay?

 

 

I responded EXACTLY to what you said. You made a garbled, barely coherent response to this quote: "IMHO, the Big 10 appeared to be strong because of a weak out-of-conference schedule and terrible depth in the conference" You said look at the "teams out of conference schedules"---not just Ohio State. Just because "your are def wrong" in the case, it doesn't make me a tool for posting an accurate and "relevant" response.

 

now taking quotes out of context? good work son... :roll:

That toilet flushing sound you here is Troy Smith's draft stock.

 

I don't think he will even be a 1st round pick.

 

You really love kneejerk reactions, don't you?

[cubweiser03]

Goodness...

 

ha ha

 

Oh hey...i hear you guys just took a big time recruit from Ohio State. they are pissed.

Nicely done.

Sure, that's whats happening here.

One game after a 51 day layoff shows he is a gutless chocking dog.

ummm, its a fact. He was a mid to late round pick to begin with.

 

With Russell shooting up the boards this is a likely scenario.

By the way Big 10 fanboy, unless you went to Ohio State your opinion on this topic is irrelevant.

[RationalSoxFan]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the fix was on tonight for OSU.

[Andy]

Hey, Alvarez. Hey, Davis.

 

TROY SMITH ACCEPTED MONEY ILLEGALLY FROM A BOOSTER. HE IS NOT A PARAGON OF MORALITY.

 

It pisses me off how people paint guys like Smith that "overcame" tough circumstances but still don't live virtuous lives as class acts while the people that never do stupid things to begin with are totally ignored.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I feel a lot better about LSU's loss to Florida now. It wasn't as bad as this.

[Chris]

Were those dog tags or price tags?

Big 10 O-O-C Games (Sagarin Rankings)

 

OSU v. 18 Texas

OSU v. 40 Cincy

OSU v. 84 N. Illinois

OSU v. 139 BGU

PSU v. 106 Akron

PSU v. 13 Notre Dame

PSU v. 70 Youngstown State

PSU v. 165 Temple

UM v. 13 Notre Dame

UM v. 65 Vandy

UM v. 62 Central Michigan

UM v. 93 Ball State

Wisc v. 139 BGU

Wisc v. 157 W. Illinois

Wisc. v. 120 SDSU

Wisc. v. 149 Buffalo

 

Those are just the top 4 Big Ten teams schedules, but I would say those OOC schedules blow. You are the one who is "def" wrong. By the way, the Big 10's strength of schedule for OOC games was 9th of the 11 major conferences. http://www.andersonsports.com/football/ACF_frnk.html

 

Breaking news - pretty much every conference plays easy out of conference schedules. Welcome to major college football.

 

Can the Pac-10 get a little respect?

haha thats actualyl kind of an interesting thought. More likely though it is kind of a USC-Oklahoma situation.

[Coach C]

I mean no dis-respect to the Big 10 fans, but IMO this is a shining example of how bad the Big 10 was this year.

 

All said and done, OSU only played Michigan on the way to that unbeaten regular season. And who did Michigan play? OSU and Wisconsin. Who did Wisconsin play? Michigan.

 

IMHO, the Big 10 appeared to be strong because of a weak out-of-conference schedule and terrible depth in the conference.

Who's out of conference schedules? OSU played aganist Texas, and Texas isn't a top 10 team in my view. Michigan destroyed ND, that ND should not even belong in the top 15. When Michigan and OSU played aganist each other, it was a close score, yet when Michigan played SC, they got owned.

 

completely meaningless analysis.

 

How is it meaningless? Texas isn't a good football team. They lost to Ohio St, Texas A&M, and K-State. Iowa could had beat them as well.

 

Don't get me started on ND. They are NOT a top 10 team.

 

If McCoy was healthy all year Texas would be in the top 10. Would have probably won the Big12.

 

Perhaps, but then, if Texas was a great team, they'd be winning with their back-up QB, who I might add, was a freshman and was one of those Elite 11 QB.

[Andy]

This Midwestern tradition-laden football team that played in the Fiesta Bowl last year and lost 41-14 to an ubertalented SEC team this year with a Heisman contender at QB thanks largely to crappy defense and O-line play proves definitively that they didn't deserve this BCS berth.

 

(Complete sarcasm BTW)

To be fair, I think most star players do exactly what he did. He just got caught. Although the money giving is more widespread at some than others.

huh? Let's chill out on the personal (and not well-informed) attacks, eh? This argument between you two is pretty silly.

[cubweiser03]

Michigan profits $32M from its football.

I think they should give Urban half of that annually.

Ive never seen Tressel this out coached. Its crazy.

drawing conclusions about who the best teams are that way is meaningless. that's why there has to be a playoff and there has to be more than four teams.

 

Am I for the Playoffs? Absolutely. I feel that is the right way to "Officially" Crown a NC Team. However, since we're not in the playoff, all we can do as of this point is drawing conclusions.

Is Farnsworth there?

I'd like Emmitt to get a Gatorade shower

and run-on sentence . . . ND did not deserve a BCS berth this year. they played three good teams and got annihilated by all three.

Funny how no matter how obvious I make it that I'm kidding, ND haters feel the need to attack the Irish anyway after kidding comments. This treatment is getting ridiculous.
