lol, Snead throws a pick six while the sideline reporter is trying to relay the story from The Blind Side. that was an awkward silence as he was running that back.

Actually, don't be surprised if both guys go in the first round of the 2010 draft. The last half of the season Sneads been a lot better QB than Sanchez has. He's probably been better than anyone in the country, though not as productive as Timmy Boy and Bradford. Then again, I don't think you've seen him play. Ever. Ok, but he's just not a better player. Less heralded coming out of high school, less productive in college, and rates lower in scouting circles. And I would be surprised if he went in the first round. Care to wager on it?

There isn't a coach in the universe who would take Jevan Snead over Mark Sanchez.

I bet I got bored of this argument before you guys did.

It is vital we keep a playoff out of college football. It would be a national tragedy if sanctimonious internet posters were unable to play mathematician and had nothing to do besides guild raids on World of Warcraft.

The only one that doesn't is a +1 playoff. Every other one does, and even the +1 system will crown the top 2 teams less often than the current setup. This isn't up for debate. In other words, it is up for debate.

No they wouldn't. The AP poll is already in love with Florida and Oklahoma and touting this national title game as one of the best matchups in history. They are? On the hype meter I don't think this one is even approaching USC/Texas, USC/OU, Miami/OSU.

I'll go ahead and beat that poor, dead horse: We need a playoff to correct this stuff. A playoff will crown the one of the best two teams national champion less than the current system. So? Then we're replacing one system that usually crowns one of the top three teams in the country as national champion with a system that usually crowns one of the worst 117 teams in the country as national champion. I could handle that. And I don't think every playoff structure necessarily creates the scenario you're talking about.

A blowout win would have a pretty huge psychological affect on the voters. They'd get a lot of first place votes in the AP. And it's not like the AP would be gun shy about sticking it to the BCS.

I think there would be a lot of split title sentiment if Utah won impressively over Alabama. You're right that it probably wouldn't be enough but it was just some food for thought.

Of the national title? Why? Auburn didn't get one in 2004 and they were undefeated. Auburn wasn't the only undefeated team though. Utah would be and they'd have wins over Michigan (lol), Oregon State, TCU, BYU, and Bama.

Ignore the ridiculousness of the concept but what happens if Utah blows out Alabama? They have to get a split right?

i would love to be in a vegas sports book right now

ugh

What is Penn State doing? HOW DO YOU KICK IT DEEP THERE

Uh, is Penn State trying to win? Meaningless field goal and no onside attempt.

That is a chicken [expletive] field goal attempt.

lol, nice coverage

It certainly seems to me that's what SSR is implying when he says: Strong fan bases certainly have an adverse effect on the Big Ten in bowls. They get two BCS teams if at all possible, knocking every bowl team down a slot. The top Big Ten team would have a difficult enough time against USC in Pasadena. It's near impossible for the second best Big Ten team (as was the case the past two seasons). I'll give you Illinois but you seem to be forgetting that there was a good amount of people that thought that Michigan team should've been playing in a rematch against OSU for the national championship. "Near impossible" is hyperbole.

Eh, I still maintain that Oregon State is a good program that fielded quite a strong team this year. At the time the loss was viewed worse than it ultimately turned out to be. It's certainly not in the same category as losing to Stanford or UCLA in 2006.

If you're gonna cheat, you should get some results beyond a home game against either the 2nd place Big Ten team or the 1st place Big Ten team in a down year every single year.(That was a horribly structured sentence) Iowa in 2002, Michigan in 2003 and 2006, Illinois in 2007, Ohio State in 2008, Penn State in 2008... The poor Big 10 just is SOOO UNLUCKY that USC keeps catching them when they're down :roll: You're grasping at straws. That's what we call missing the point. USC plays a home game every years on January 1st because they're too undisciplined to try against teams they should beat the crap out of. Their opponents in these games are 2nd place Big Ten teams if the Big Ten is good(becuase the 1st place team goes to the title game) or a 1st place Big Ten team when the conference is down. It's really hard to go undefeated and expecting a team to do it often, let alone every year, is pretty absurd. USC's talent level is head and shoulders above the rest of the conference. When they've lost (recently), it's been to far inferior teams. That's a coaching/discipline/motivation issue I agree to a certain extent. I think Carroll's style is great for USC when it comes to big games but it does seem to harm them for the "lesser" games. That being said, it's extraordinarily difficult to go undefeated and it's just a ridiculous expectation to say that USC should go undefeated every year.

How do you get all that sand out of there?

You should spend a few more pages breathlessly explaining why Big XII defensive coordinators are actually genuises and doing a great job scheming against OU.
