  1. his slugging percentage was lower than ryan theriot's, sure here's $6 million
  2. who did the cardinals even have at SS last year? khalil might have only cost them a win or two with his sub-600 ops
  3. oh my god some white kid in constrictor shorts just got raped
  4. i'm basing my opinion on watching Ball State this year and knowing that they aren't out-recruiting Notre Dame, Purdue, or even Indiana in-state. Again, I think you're underrating Ball State, and overrating the Big 10 this year. I think Ball State could give everyone but Penn State/Ohio State a game this year. and I don't. Ball State's best players would be Big Ten teams medium level players. 7 or 8 of the Big Ten teams would win the MAC this year (if not more) Win the MAC or go undefeated in the MAC like Ball State is going to do? well if they're going to win the mac this year, that means they'd go undefeated Winning is one thing. Going undefeated in the Mac is another. but ball state is undefeated, so if, say, wisconsin was going to win the MAC, they'd have to be undefeated, too

  16. MINE AS WELL? WITH HYPHENS? oh good gravy
  17. i can't explain how much i already hate bj mullens oh yeah, i can, he looks like an idiot
  18. Keep in mind though, in my analysis that you did not read, i gave half the first place votes to Florida, a fourth to OU and a fourth to Texas and it still does not appear to be enough for Florida to jump Texas. well, i hope you're right, because if we get past missouri, i'm much more confident of our ability to beat texas than i am that we can beat florida
  19. ou and texas are splitting votes at the moment, once ou wins or loses the big 12 title game, voters will resign themselves to voting all-ou or all-texas and florida will jump up
  20. Mizzou hasn't faced a defense as good as Iowa's all year. You think Iowa's defense is better than Texas'? I don't really think there's much difference between the Alamo and Holiday, and personally I'd rather play a Big 10 team than a Pac 10 team. I certainly thought Mizzou was Holiday Bowl-bound. I also think it's a better bowl. I've heard Oklahoma State has already accepted the Holiday Bowl bid. According to a Holiday Bowl representative who was at a Mizzou game earlier this year (this was after we lost to OSU and Texas), the Holiday Bowl was ours to lose. I guess we lost it. San Antonio ... San Diego, what's the difference
  21. Thanks for not posting UCLA-USC. a percentage so large, even meph couldn't calculate it
  22. That might work too. I've just never liked the Coach's Poll and hated counting on it to save us. Apologies for having the wrong numbers in this case, but it's more about the principle than the numbers. In my opinion, OU deserves to represent the Big 12 South if they outscored the same opponents as Texas and Tech moreso than by being ranked higher in the BCS. That, of course, doesn't make it any easier to watch OU play for the National Championship after beating them... :nutkick: I will say that I read someone here posting how they feel bad for Colt not being able to win it all. Very classy. I must say that I don't hate OU players or fans NEARLY as much as I did as a student. that was me! i reserve the right to take it back when texas destroys us next year.
  23. It's to make sure the conference has its best chance at making the title game. If you have the #3 BCS team getting passed up in favor of the #15 team due to the #15 team running up the score in conference play it wouldn't help the conference at all. If there is a three-way tie for first in a conference in the section here for high school football, the first is head-to-head and the second is point differential in the games among the tied teams with a maximum of 13 points per game. I like the tiebreaker because it only uses the results of the games among the three tied teams and doesn't reward running up the score. If the Big 12 used that system, then Oklahoma would still be going to the title game. i was going to say, in that case texas' 4 point win at home over a team we beat by 20 on the road and their 3 point loss to a team we beat by 44 or whatever is not going to help them That wouldn't, but it should be cumulative rather than picking a few games. I'm not arguing the results as much as the process, though. If OU had a larger point differential and went to the Big 12 Championship instead of Texas, I'd be OK with it. It bugs me that a game like Florida v. Florida St. can have an impact on the Big 12 (by Florida possibly taking some of OU's first place votes, reducing their lead in the Coach's Poll). why should un-common opponents be the deciding factor? Or am I reading your argument wrong? You might or might not be reading it wrong, but that's definitely not my argument. I'd be fine if they took the Big 12 South point differential since the teams play different North teams each year. Again, I'm not advocating Texas in the championship (though I'd like it). I'm advocating a better indicator of season-long conference success. I think point differential is a better indicator than BCS rankings. Sorry, I worded that terribly. I meant "why should point differential from uncommon opponents be included?" It doesn't matter though, because OU is ahead of texas either way. And while I'm glad we're going to KC, I'm also afraid that we beat Missouri and then get blown out by Florida. Part of my wants to just beat Utah somewhere and not have to deal with it.
