Geaux Tigers!

Geaux Tigers!

 

That spelling is the gayest thing I've ever seen.

[Andy]

For all the talk about how pathetic it is that the Big East still gets a bid, West Virginia is no slouch. They'll probably be the worst of the 8 BCS teams, but the margin won't be near as bad as it was last year with Pitt.

 

I'll be watching the conference title games with interest.

(Poinsettia Bowl)

Really?

I hear there's some sort of football game going on next Saturday at the LA Coliseum. Might even be an important one.

You have no idea how many "OC" jokes just ran through my head, and I don't even watch the show.

[cubweiser03]

Colorado playing in a conference championship game is a joke. That team flat out sucked on national television against nebraska. Cant be too many people excited to watch this game.

 

SEC championship. Now that looks like a championship.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

BYU (Las Vegas Bowl)

Does anybody else find this pretty funny?

[CuseCubFan69]

I think that West Virginia and Louisville are just as good as any of the one or 2 loss teams.

 

If Colorado and/or Florida St win will that knock ND out of the BCS? I mean who do they pick Texas or ND or do they drop Ohio State?

 

I think that something has to be done about these Conference Playoff games. At least the team with the best conference record goes in the BE but to have these 4 loss teams go in automatically is a joke.

 

What would be worse IMO is if college football had a playoff the fact that Florida St or Colorado would be one of the 8 or 16 teams would just be wrong.

I'm not sure bowl comittees are bright enough for irony

I think Ohio State is out the window if USC or Texas goes down because those teams would become at-larges. If they both lost, ND and OSU are both probably out.

 

If Va Tech loses, IMO they are probably out of the at-large picture and are headed for the Gator Bowl.

And that's a problem. OSU lost to the current #2 and #3 teams in the BCS. ND lost to the current #1 and #NR in the BCS. And yet OSU would get screwed.

Money, it is all about money.

 

IMO Oregon will be out before OSU.

[Derwood]

Too true. I was really rooting for Stanford just to make all this argument academic, but they didn't cooperate.

Damn those Cardinals :wink:

Sadly I don't even think that Oregon is in the picture.

[NewUserName]

I am going to stand in and defend ND because adam was so cordial on the Lou Holtz post. If ND makes the BCS it isnt their fault and what do you expect them to do turn it down. What is wrong is the system. It would easily be corrected with a 16 team playoff like every other division has

[NewUserName]

since this was a double post I will take a second to say it was really hard to defend ND and I will probably never do it again

Well thanks for trying anyway :D

 

And we'll try to prove we belong against O$U. I know there are more than a few on this forum who would love seeing the Buckeyes go down almost as much as watching ND lose.

Thank you very much for that. All I hope is that ND shows up on Jan 2 and makes a strong case for why they are there. And if they don't I may not venture around these parts for awhile :wink:
