College Football - Week of 11/1

[Derwood]

TT trying to blow this

[B]

If TTU/Texas can reach the over I will complete a 4 team parlay. :beg:

[TruffleShuffle]

so harrell takes a 50 yard sack that makes it a tough FG for the walk on kicker, the kick gets blocked, texas takes over and scores immediately. if harrell doesn't make that mistake it's probably a 13 point lead and tech is kicking off.

 

crap.

TT trying to blow this

 

oh they're not just trying, they're doing.

[Mephistopheles]

I know Florida destroyed Georgia today, but I expect Tech to jump Florida because they are undefeated while Florida isn't. The three undefeated teams will be 1-2-3 with Florida at 4 and Texas 5.

 

Well thats because people are stupid. But you may be right.

Yeah, there will be three undefeated teams at the top, but thats because at this rate the top won't be changing...

[Derwood]

it's a complete cluster, even if Texas wins. how does one objectively say who among Florida, USC and Oklahama is "better"?

[Mephistopheles]

you obviously cant use wins and losses...but to you guys thats all that you can use!

[Outshined_One]

Unless Texas wins tonight, I don't see the season finishing with two undefeated teams in BCS conferences. I have a hard time seeing Texas Tech beating Oklahoma at Oklahoma.

that's what i'm saying....a pile of 1-loss teams with no common opponents means a howry-ton of subjectivity will go into the poll this week. voters have huge boners for USC, for example, and they may get a ton of votes that should be going to Florida

duh you rank florida no. 2 because of the strength of their 3-point loss to ole miss

 

it's the same as a win

[Mephistopheles]

and they should be.

actually if this score holds (TTU up by 3), we've got to keep texas at no. 1, because this 3-point loss that's as good as a win is better than florida's 3-point loss that's as good as a win.

[TruffleShuffle]

1. texas

1a. florida

17. alabama

24. penn state

[SpongeWorthy]

Texas has very average linebackers.

Florida lost by one.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol, apparently they're passing the collection basket around the texas cheering section

[imb]

if texas tech wins, can we even bump them up? this win is as good as a loss

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Boy that's a terrible offensive pass interference call.

[SpongeWorthy]

USC Florida would get the best ratings so that should be the title game :D

[Outshined_One]

Screw that! We should make the national championship game Notre Dame/Ohio State! That'll get viewers!

[RedFlash]

Boy that's a terrible offensive pass interference call.

 

You're not kidding.

[SpongeWorthy]

The national championship should actually be decided by a team-cumulative 40 yard dash sprint off.

Two words:

 

Cage Match

Or, more simply, a system that attempts to be objective based merely on point differential is hugely flawed in a sport where point differential is meaningless to the championship format in place, and you only get a 9-game sample size. It's a lot more subjective to debate how good a team is than an objective point differential system, just as it's a lot more subjective than wins and losses.
