Re: College Football - Bowl Discussion

Much greater chance of Florida losing at Oregon State than USC losing at home to Ole Miss.

 

The Ole Miss dogging has to stop. Ole Miss is a better team than Oregon State and is one of the top twenty teams in the country. They're not chopped liver. I think people are going to be surprised tomorrow afternoon. I don't think they will win, but I think it will be a close game. That being said, Florida and USC are a toss up.

 

Florida lost at home. The Trojans lost on the road.

 

and in this place called reality, home/road is a touchdown swing max. home/road doesn't mean as much as people think.

if cincy wins here, my drunken picks will come through with flying colors.

[TruffleShuffle]

can we get a damn orange bowl that i care about?

Your point works against you, since a TD would have won it for USC and a TD for Ole Miss would have made it an 8 point loss. In that case, USC is undefeated and Florida has an 8 point loss to Ole Miss. If your point is true, Oklahoma would be preparing to play USC in the Championship.

 

You just inadvertently validated his point.

[SouthSideRyan]

You're making it a 2 TD swing.

[Hosak8]

You're making it a 2 TD swing.

 

How? If it were a 2 TD swing, USC beats OSU 28-20, and Florida loses to Ole Miss 38-23. That's a 2 TD swing.

[Mephistopheles]

the mere thought you even thought about trying to do that is disturbing. if that games in oxford the gators probably win because theyre the better team. its a completely different game.

 

 

here guys im going to lay out basically what the great hosak is saying. because we flipped a coin on heads three times out of five in Florida, we are going to flip a coin four times out of five on heads in Oxford.

 

This is EXACTLY what he is saying. Pretty stupid if you asked me.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Related to the playoff v. BCS, I think it's pretty likely that a team advancing to the championship game in a playoff system would be selected to the title game in the BCS, given the results of any preliminary playoff rounds.

[TruffleShuffle]

frankly if va tech would get their act together, i would be having a lot better night than i am right now

[Mephistopheles]

and under hosaks bizzaro stupid world, florida still probably gets in the title game. they'd be ahead of oklahoma in the BCS. They wouldnt slip in the computers and oklahoma would, florida would still be ahead in the polls and the difference is probably enough to get them in the title game. either way the way he is thinking is absurdly dumb.

[Mephistopheles]

you are making it a 14 point swing. youre converting USCs game to a home game and UFs to a road. If you put them on a neutral setting it's a 4 point loss for florida and a 3 point loss for USC to a weaker team. therefore your dumb point is even wrong in your world.

I thought you were rooting for Cincinnatti.

[TruffleShuffle]

i meant Cincinnati. this game is boring but they actually could win it. i cooked a turkey all day and i'm exhausted so let's get this over with.

[TruffleShuffle]

this game sucks royally.

for now, Anderson Cooper 360. thinking of playing a game of NCAA '09 though

Kenny Albert or Pat Summerall would have been worlds better than Brennaman. I just don't understand how he's their top broadcaster (save for Joe Buck and Troy Aikman).

There's a Monk marathon on USA.

 

I'm sticking with this game though.

[TruffleShuffle]

make it stop. please acc and big east, give us good teams.

[Hosak8]

you are making it a 14 point swing. youre converting USCs game to a home game and UFs to a road. If you put them on a neutral setting it's a 4 point loss for florida and a 3 point loss for USC to a weaker team. therefore your dumb point is even wrong in your world.

 

No, I made it a 7 point swing, I just chose not to split the 7 between teams. Remember, you admitted it was up to a 7 point swing, so I just followed your logic.

 

If you want the points split, we can. We'll give the home teams in your scenario 4 points and take 3 away from the losers...

 

OM 35 - UF 27. (Still an 8 point difference, btw.)

 

USC 25 - OSU 24. (Still a 1 point difference, btw.)

 

The argument was never about neutral sites, it was about UF losing at home and USC losing on the road, and how those results would have possibly been different had the home fields been reversed. You can change the situation to neutral sites now that you've been owned, though that's pretty weak. Meph, FTL.

So that's what it feels like to be owned.
