  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Ignore the ridiculousness of the concept but what happens if Utah blows out Alabama? They have to get a split right?
  4. i would love to be in a vegas sports book right now
  5. What is Penn State doing? HOW DO YOU KICK IT DEEP THERE
  6. Uh, is Penn State trying to win? Meaningless field goal and no onside attempt.
  7. That is a chicken [expletive] field goal attempt.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

  12. How do you get all that sand out of there?
  13. 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.

  15. lol usc didn't win the national title what a joke program
  16. You know how you would have not been robbed. Beating an Oregon St. team that managed to score 3 points against Pitt. Another year, another no championship for you. Soooooooooo sad. Oregon State is a good, consistent program though. And they beat Pitt without the Rodgers brothers (Quizz Rodgers was Pac 10 player of the year). I don't see what's such an embarrassment about losing to them. well of course you dont Are you stupid?

  18. Dirty! (plz be ok joe)
  19. Hell of a drive by Penn State. They had SC really off balance.
  20. What's more frozen: The ice at Wrigley today or Fukudome's vacant expression as he pathetically slaps driveable fastballs to middle infielders?
  21. I've always wondered why Ferentz is considered such a hot commodity in NFL coaching circles. Is it just an open secret that he's going to jump to the pros? He's a good coach but he seems to be the first name brought up when college coaches are considered NFL candidates.
  22. I know nothing about hockey but this Huet guy doesn't seem like he's very good.
