Missouri's QB eats boogers.

LMAO I can tell this week is going to be hilarious.

[CuseCubFan69]

I see the coaches poll loves the BE. A whole 2 teams in the Top 25. Yeah, I love it when these clowns are the ones deciding things. How S.Florida is 30th and behind Auburn by 5 spots doesn't mean they actually go by facts and silly things like what actually happens on the field. The second rated conference in college football according to the computers and 2 teams and a lot of you wonder why I get pissed.

See Im in a rough spot. Im an Illinois fan, and Mizzou win would help Illinois strength of schedule. But like I said Im an Illinois fan, and I really dont like Missouri all that much. Hmm what to do.

Oh and by the way, the Illini got another 4 star recruit. This time a TE from Pennsylvania. I love Zook.

Because weighting one game so heavily is stupid? That said both Auburn and South Florida should be top 25 and South Florida should be ahead of Auburn and in the top 20.

Arghhh, the LA Times busted out the race card against the fire-KD movement.

 

Well put. I'm convinced that race plays a role in what some of you critics are saying. To think otherwise would be plain foolish. Some of you just don't know what to make of a coach who does not fit into your convenient stereotypes.

 

:(

[Mephistopheles]

Hawaii would get beat by more than 9 teams I can assure...Floridas better overall although Hawaii might have a slight edge in a game between the two.

I don't know who to root for though I think its kansas. I just think its great that those two are playing as top 5 teams.

part of racial equality involves firing incompetent black people as well as incompetent white people

Kansas is a top five team the same way South Florida and Boston College were top five teams -- except even USF and BC had some quality wins. Kansas has played the schedule equivalent to Bowling Green's. If Bowling Green was undefeated right now, where would they be ranked? 10-15 same as Hawaii. Kansas is to five because people *think* they've played a decent schedule because they're in the big XII, but they haven't. We have no reason to believe they're better than #11 or #12 right now. Kansas hasn't played a single top thirty opponent, not one.

BC lost at Maryland and USF lost at Rutgers and at home against Cincinnati. Kansas has had games as tough as those, and won them all.

You completely missed the analogy. Cincinnati's every bit as good as USF. Kansas hasn't played someone in Cinci's league. Rutgers is roughly equivalent to Okie State, KUs best game. When USF was number 2 they had wins over Auburn and West Virginia. Kansas hasn't played a single opponent of that quality. Kansas has beaten 6-5 Okie State. OUTSTANDING!

 

BC's resume wasn't as good as USF's. BC had a win (albeit lucky one) against Virginia Tech -- Kansas has not faced anyone remotely close to their talent level. At the time, USF and BC had beaten MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better opponents than Kansas had and hadn't lost a game. You're point's misguided, and simply put: Wrong.

 

South Floridas played a real schedule, KU hasnt

:(

The convenient stereotypes of winning football games? Of not shooting yourself in the foot? Of not bringing in a walk-on 3rd string QB and telling him to win the game?
