when the Big 10 went with 12 what? games? cuz there are only 11 teams my point was that the conf. chmp. games aren't going away, so at least make it equitable among the 6 BCS conferences. Georgia actually benefits from NOT playing the chmp game this year because either LSU will end up with 3 losses or UT with 4. Georgia can't lose again.
-
As I wrote to Colt...at least the Big East and PAC 10 all play each other. true, but if all 6 of the BCS conferences had a championship game, then that would at least give you one "playoff" game to qualify 6 of the entrants into the BCS games.
-
which is why it's lame that all the conferences don't have championship games
-
unfortunately, it'll be a few years before the Big 10 non-con is any good. PSU, for example, has two years of Syracuse starting next year, but then have two-year series with Alabama (2010-11) and Viriginia (2012-13) after that The Big Ten can be good without a tough non conference schedule. sure, but your arguments for why the SEC is better is based on non-con, so i'm trying to counter that argument.

I still don't see how the SEC is leading though. Exactly who have they beaten OOC? VTech was a good win but what I think is ironic is that in Basketball Syracuse gets ripped for playing a lot of games at home but in football the SEC does it and gets a pass. LSU beat VT UGA killed OkSU Florida killed FSU Auburn over KSU You don't just look who they beat, you look at who they lost to as well. The SEC had one loss to a non BCS conference team (Alabama to Monroe). The Pac 10 had 4. The Big Ten had 5. The Big East had 3. The Big XII had 5. The ACC had 3ish.* You also look at how well they played (Score). And running up the score should matter some (obviously not completely). *going into this week. you'll get a more accurate picture if you break those conferences down by team (for example, the total suckfest that was Minnesota accounted for, what, 3 of those 5 losses?) just saying

They get pretty mean-spirited. I thought the Mizzou/KU stuff here was pretty friendly personally. I didn't realize we were annoying other people. i didn't think you were annoying at all. having one thread for the one game was the right way to go about it. the UofI/IU stuff goes on year around and infiltrates a bunch of other threads
-
couldn't one argue that one or more of the games that Florida won failed to prove that the Gators were the better team?
-
Penn State loses to UCF after shooting .362 and going 5 for 31 from three point range. This team is going to get annihilated in Big 10 play
-
Morelli wasn't injured? He sure played like he was. i wasn't counting brain damage
-
Penn State was fully healthy and lost 4 games. So, um....
-
i think if Oklahoma loses to Missouri, they'll be out of the BCS. just a hunch
-
Who do you guys think should win the Heisman?

One thing to note is that he's currently the #2 rated passer in the country while playing a top five schedule. Obviously his legs help him in that department as well, but he's a naturally gifted passer on top of being a great power runner. no doubt, and the game-planning people have to do to stack the box against him running makes for more one-on-one matchups for his receivers. frankly, if Tebow wins i'd be fine with it, though i think McFadden is the better player long term -
funny, i thought they lost 3 games 100% of the time this year
-
good thing some guy in USA Today's rankings have no actual effect on the real world

hmmm, i've never seen anyone try such a thing on the post-safety kick. probably because you're way back at the 20 yard line -
if Mizzou and WVU win next week, they're in barring some BCS shenanigans. OSU needs a lot of help

How can you do an onsides kick off a safety? Isn't it a punt? Typically it is, but for some reason they let Kansas tee it up like normal. You can still onsides a punt though, it just takes a little creativity to get a good one. no, you can't onsides a punt. if you choose to actually punt it (rather than fake it) you are conceding change of possession. this is why a punt returner can choose to let a punt go and the kicking team only "downs" the ball if they touch it (as opposed to an onsides where they would be able to recover it after 10 yards and keep possession). i'm pretty positive that you can't onsides after a safety (the kick is considered a "free kick" and can either be kicked off a tee or punted at the kicking team's discretion) -
or Kansas. they lost early instead of late Actually Kansas lost later. i was referring to why VTech was above LSU and Kansas

USC vs. UCLA is an unofficial championship game, though UCLA would still need help after beating USC
-
I see your point but does anyone want to sit outside watching football in the upper midwest in December? yes, the same people who go to see New England, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, the Giants, Cleveland, etc. in the NFL
-
i once again point to how dumb it is that the Big 10 is done already

some dude on NC A&T drops 40 on DePaul as the Blue Demons lose 96-93 at home. ](*,)
