BCS Bowl Thread

Schedule rankings:

 

ND - 19

WVU - 42

 

It's worth noting that if the reverse was true this board and most of college FB fans would be howling even more than they currently are.

It was a good bowl season.... Penn State won and Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame all got embarassed. I'll miss college football.

[Balsa]

If that's Illinois in a couple years, consider me happy.

[Butterscup1679666578]

That was seriously the most embarrassing and worst performance I have ever seen from a team as hyped as Ohio State in that type of game. What a complete and utter joke.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow to Florida beating OSU to death.

 

Then again, the SEC is pretty much hands down the best conference in football. I can think of at least three SEC teams better than any other team in the country.

 

I could see that with Florida and LSU, but I can't follow you there with Arkansas or Auburn.

 

I think Arkansas and Auburn (especially Auburn) could beat USC or OSU.

Yes, getting throttled by good teams does not prove much.

Needing to come back from down 3 scores against a bad team doesn't prove much either.*

 

* - You can't have it both ways. Either GT sucks (ND beat them on the road while everyone else not named USC was playing I-AA caliber teams) or they're good (they almost beat WV). Pick one.

Both teams narrowly beat GT. Notre Dame got whacked by the ranked teams it played. West Virginia split Louisville and Rutgers. Their ability to actually beat a ranked team makes them more qualified IMO.

That was a real fun game :D

 

for me to poop on :(

It's been a great year in G-ville, but I think I would trade it all for a Cubbies Title...

I think.

It's close.

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

<----- Happy. And still drinking.

[CuseCubFan69]

Congratulations Florida fans! You guys are on a roll no doubt about it.

So, any guess to the final AP and Coach's Poll Top 10.

 

I thought OSU could hold on to the #2 spot with a loss, but not this kind of loss.

 

I'd probably rank the top five:

 

1 Florida

2. Boise State

3. LSU

4. USC

5. Ohio State

You mean the ranked teams that didn't beat anyone else other than each other.

 

The computer polls (the only one without a dog in this fight) had ND ranked over WV by a higher margin than even the polls did. That should (but, I'm sure, you will find a way to say that it doesn't) mean something.

 

Also of note: ND not only DID beat a ranked team this year (Penn State) but they clobbered them, whereas Big Ten "powers" OSU, Michigan and Wisconsin all got a game from the Nittany Lions until late (granted, Michigan and Wisconsin were in Happy Valley, but ND beat PSU by more than those two teams combined). But please, keep on saying ND hasn't beaten a ranked team if it makes you feel better.
