College Football - Week of Nov. 14th

Penn State isn't getting a BCS at-large

They're going to be eligible (unless they gag against MSU), and this season, that might be half the battle.

I could see the loser of the Pitt/Cincy game get serious consideration.

It's probably going to come down to Penn State vs Iowa for an at large birth (assuming they want to take two Big 10 teams, which is questionable.

 

Both teams would have to win next week though (assuming Iowa loses today) and that is no guarantee and I don't know if they take two big ten teams anyways.

SpongeWorthy is pretty levelheaded; I don't see the point of lumping him with VoiceOfReason's idiotic homerific USC posting.

I could see the loser of the Pitt/Cincy game get serious consideration.

 

If Cincy loses that game, I think they're still in at this point considering the lack of competition.

 

Pittsburgh will be much more questionable. It will probably depend on the style points they get the next two weeks against ND/WV and how close the game is against Cincy.

[E.J.]

Damn. Did Vandenberg's mom have him when she was 12?

[Careless]

hey, a receiver caught a ball

Their one loss was a pretty bad one though.

South Carolina giving Florida a good game. It's 17-14 Florida with 2 min left in the 1st half.

The weekly SEC blue balls special, no doubt.

There's also the legitimate possibility that Cincy goes to the national championship if they go undefeated. They have a much better OOC resume than Texas and Sagarin has the Big East as a better conference than the Big 12.

[Outshined_One]

Stop dropping those.

[E.J.]

Yeah, Iowa isn't going to win if they make ridiculous mistakes like that.

I would love to believe an unbeaten Cincy would beat out an unbeaten Texas for the title game. Texas has played one ranked team (whose only good win came with Dez Bryant) and a bunch of garbage non-conference games.

The one guy who isn't rattled is the freshman QB. C'mon you idiots.

Cincy can jump Texas on the strength of its computer rankings? Isn't Texas shrinking the gap on Bama in the human polls?

Pryor seems like such a head case.

Cincy's already ranked over Texas in the computer rankings; wins over WVU and Pitt will only help that.

 

The human polls are going to be critical, though. Texas getting into the title game over an undefeated Cincinnati because of the human polls would likely cause a substantial uproar.

[Derwood]

Bama/Florida is likely playing Texas for the NC. That means the other 8 BCS berths are covered by Big East, ACC, Bama/Florida loser, Iowa/OSU winner, Pac-10 and TCU/Boise St, leaving two at-larges. Unless PSU jumps into the Top 12 (which I don't see after wins over lowly IU and MSU), I don't think they make it. The only thing they have going for them is that they have one of the best traveling fan bases in the country

I want to punch that kid with the Tressel sweater vest and a headset.

My life is awful. I've missed most of this game for a baby shower. Now tuning in at my apartment. I'm glad Vandy the Mandy has played well so far.

I don't see it. I understand the sentiment but I don't see an undefeated Cadillac program like Texas getting into the title game over an undefeated Big East team, despite the differences in their resumes, scaring BCS officials too much.
