  1. 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
  2. I love it
  3. when they showed him on the ground, it looked like he was paralyzed. I've mentioned on here before how hilariously afraid of contact Frerrotte is, but i assumed he just got tagged. then they showed the "hit" and it was the funniest thing in history
  4. funniest thing i've ever seen
  5. i really think that the "texas got screwed" sentiment got it for mccoy and i'll take your bet on florida winning and not getting in, by the way. i just can't figure out how that would happen
  6. I bet they would. wait, is he saying that florida could win the sec title game and NOT play in the national championship game? that can't be right.
  7. Bradford has a torn ligament in his left hand
  8. Dude, Alabama is NOT going to beat Florida. They just aren't. Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson is going to be crying to his girlfriends by halftime i still maintain that if florida beats alabama (when they beat alabama) redflash can't post until opening day. same goes for meph if florida loses +1 Best of luck to OU next week. Should you lose it won't hurt my feelings at all :-). Its hard to argue against everything knowing how good that offense is, but sucks knowing Texas won head to head and lost on the final play of the game. Oh well, next year's team was supposed to be the title run team. I did want to see the Texas run defense against the Gators though. im kind of disgusted with myself for feeling this way, but i really feel bad for colt mccoy. he's such a tough little bastard...if anyone deserves to play for a title, it's him. especially after all the crap he took last year. if mack brown put ou in his top 25, he screwed himself. the coaches poll came down to ONE POINT.

  10. i can already see a 55-19 beatdown coming
  11. god damn right
  12. texas is ahead of ou in the harris by 6 points
  13. DEANGELO 4TD WILLIAMS tell steve thanks for me
  14. i also make them watch my madden highlights
  15. Since when is the 27th pick of the draft considered late? i meant my fantasy draft i grabbed him in the 5th or 6th round i realize no one cares about my fantasy team but im all alone in my house right now with no one to brag to Do you really brag about your fantasy draft with your family/housemates? constantly if you got it flaunt it

  17. drafting deangelo williams late in the draft sure was a good idea
  18. with peyton manning actively [expletive] me, getting 25+ from williams sure is helpful
  19. usually between their two NFL games, to hold viewers Nah, after the late game ~6:30 CT i just checked the paper, it said it would be after the early game. Nobody reads newspapers. They've never done that before, I wonder if they were sick of getting scooped by projections. as a journalist /kylejrm
  20. Most think that OU will pass Texas, but nothing is final yet i dont even know if i'll be able to watch the bcs unveiling. i might just wait for the inevitable text messages.
  21. damn, deangelo williams/jonathon stewart is a hell of a combo

  23. when does fox release the bcs?
  24. Thirty years ago, throwing a football across the line of scrimmage more than a handful of times didn't really involve a multimillion dollar investment taking vicious shots from the most freakish athletes on the planet. Tebow would never, ever, survive (as in have a career of meaningful length with adequate health) the sort of punishment in the NFL that he did in college. I doubt any QB could. last year everyone had andre woodson pegged as first rounder. rocket arm, tall, big, athletic. then they realized he took forever to get through his throwing motion and he got picked in the 6th or 7th round and got cut. tebow has the same throwing motion, but he's short and fat. he won't be a good NFL qb
  25. My original point that hasn't wavered a bit was a suggestion that Big XII coaches probably weren't doing an adequate job of game planning (whether through effort or imagination) a defense for OU. It seems yours is that OU is just that good that no other conclusion can be drawn except that their offense is so overwhelming that defensive coordinators are totally blameless for their teams failures. This is in spite of a very recent history of OU having what were touted as world class offenses that played anywhere from atrocious to average against teams with good defenses (when the very biggest prizes in the sport were on the line, mind you). no my point is that OU's offense just might be a little more complex than "just slant routes!" and if it isn't, that the personnel just must be overwhelming because you'd think someone might have watched tape on them at some point in the year there was also that thing about the offense being one dimensional, but i think we've disproved that it's almost like you dont actually know what you're talking about The slant/crossing routes remarks were firmly tongue in cheek. I thought that was blindingly obvious. When I refer to them as "revolutionary" and "ground breaking" I'm being more than slightly facetious. I'll admit that I haven't watched every snap of OU football this year but I've watched quite a bit. Are my points about them using primarily (exclusively?) shot gun, lots of underneath/timing routes, not a huge emphasis on the deep ball, not a ton of motion/misdirection way off? Clearly you watch more Sooner football than I do so I'll just take it back if I'm wrong. From what I can gather, a huge portion of their attack involves Bradford sitting in the gun and picking apart a team to death. They execute it extraordinarily well. I only submit that defenses could do better and if they face Florida and Bama in the BCS title game it'll be much tougher slogging. well of course. are you trying to tell me that bama and florida play better defense than texas tech? heavens no what passing team doesn't pass out of the shotgun with a lot of underneath/timing routes? is there a team somewhere running nothing but go routes and just chucking it 40 yards downfield every time they don't line up in the i-form? anyway, it's not some mind-blowing, crazy-ass gimmick offense. it's a no-huddle, line-audible offense with great personnel at every position. it's overrated because people just look at the numbers sometimes without realizing that no one in the big 12 plays any defense, but it's still one of the best college offenses in the nation. i'd put OU, Florida and USC's offenses all in the same group. they all do different things but the end results are the same.
