He might find out what the inside of a SD hospital looks like with that pass rush, and our pass blocking. Yeah, the D lines ears are going to be pinned back but a couple of nice completions might tire them out a little.

Now it's time for Grossman to pull a rabbit out of his hat. Give the guy some time and let's see a fun comeback.

Nice 2 point take down there.

A complicated algorithm is going to be the best way. It's too bad people are too stupid to accept it. A lot of the posters here included. Maybe you should explain it to all of us genius? So we can understand it because we'll not nearly as bright as you think you are. It really is fun to see how worked up you get. These college football threads always bring out the best in you. Yeah, they really do for some strange reason. I feel like the proverbial hippy that screams against the establishment when it comes to this topic. Just trying to stick it to the man I suppose. I wonder how much Syracuse winning a couple of games a season would help :wink: Not until you take that coach of yours back will we be able to do that!

Just trying to stick it to the man I suppose. but youre going for the establishment. so youre a fake? Yeah, ok. Well anyways IMB. Eastern football has had a tough time breaking the established midwestern/southern griphold on college football and I've been frustrated with it for years. The Penn States that went 11-0 and get voted 2nd or 3rd and now to still have that problem even though the teams in the BE are quite competitive. Are they better, who knows but they often are ranked under any of the " old power conferences" if they have the same record at a very alarming rate. Just look at the last polls for 2006. If a BE team has the same record as one of the Big 10, Big 12, SEC, USC or ND they are almost always ranked behind them. You guys that are in these conferences or teams have had this God given right and imo don't realize it's happening, choose to ignore it or think they're always better. Just look at the voting of the Heismans, the voters always go by area or section of the country on who they vote for and people talk about eastern bias well believe me, it sure as heck isn't in college football. So ya, it frustrates me because they don't allow this to be determined on the field and if they do get a playoff you better believe the good ole boys will control how it works and manipulate it to their benefit. The Barry Alverez types will keep the OSU and Michigan teams in it until they are forced out with 2 losses while if a BE team losses once they are out of the hunt, no matter how good the league is. Don't get me wrong, last year OSU deserved to play the final but a few teams like Louisville and Boise St as you know deserved a shot to be playing them and Michigan and Florida were the only 2 that had a chance.

Plus this is a big game for both teams state wise. I wonder what the undre/over is going to be? Heck, even when Tennessee plays Vandy it's a good rivalry game.

Is Marty smiling, just a little right now?

Hopefully this won't effect his already fragile mental toughness.

Hey don't include me!

Poor route or read by Rex. That WR looked like he was moving in slow motion.

Nice job by Grossman not forcing that ball and taking what the defense gave him.

Got to avoid third and long situations. We aren't doing that. Can't get anything going. These are 2 really good defenses and yards are going to be tough to come by today.

Have the Bears moved Hester to anything else other than just being a return guy?

Central Florida may give Texas more than they can handle. Pitt vs Michigan St is always a funky game. Georgia Tech vs BC is for the best team in the ACC imo. USC with a week off before the Nebraska game, how do they do when they have a bye like that?

Maybe they both move too slow to be effective?

A complicated algorithm is going to be the best way. It's too bad people are too stupid to accept it. A lot of the posters here included. Interesting. Something tells me it wouldn't be nearly as exciting as the playoffs, though. :D i dont doubt that. ive always been interested to see BCS rankings w/ point differential after the bowl season. i think wed be surprised at some of the things we would see. it quite honestly it would be correct. Why not have all 64 bowl teams play one bowl game in mid december, then have the 32 winners play in late december or early January. the sample size of cross-conference games between the elite doubles. You make an interesting point but what if the best team doesn't win, should the best team still move forward and the team that actually won get knocked out?

It's quite possible. Assume a team like OSU plays an average team all season long. There's probably a 10 percent chance they lose a game to them. There's a 35% chance that they lose two games. That's 1 in 3. And the 90% chance of winning is more than likely significantly overstated. But your taking away actual performance and making it a statistical situation. Assumptions are fine but I'll take the actual performance in a head to head meeting. Of course there are going to be upsets and the best teams don't always win but in a situation such as college football the head to heads have to qualify highly in ranking along with the overall record. That's the beauty part of college football, the small sample size and zero room for error and once you start quantifying it to the point where you are just using numbers that are skewed, you take that beauty away. When so many teams play cupcakes as they all do, you have to use the head to head meetings as a measuring stick, especially when you are comparing 2 teams like Auburn and USF.

Actually I do. The line of logic (well lack of) does make me laugh. Good point. Since a team beats another 4 games to 3 why rely on that small sample size to determine who wins the world series or one stupid game in the Super Bowl. Hey genius, you may have something there. Its posts like this that make me laugh. That's nice. I'd make a post like that too if I were in your situation. Of course that's usually your type of response, isn't it? You didn't make an argument. You just supported mine. You defended your argument by supporting mine. What do I need to say? You said we should rely more on limited samples because they're all we have. Then you pointed out instances where relying on limited sample sizes has been erroneous (see Cardinals 2006 WS title). You just made my point and defeated your own argument. Thanks. Nice try. So you'd have some 2 or 3 loss team in college football be #1 because of the small sample size of losses and your perception of what's better?

And Auburn gets more votes than South Florida in the good ole boy poll. Just because USF beat Auburn it doesn't mean USF is a better team. Just because Oregon thrashed Michigan it doesn't mean Oregon is a better team. Just because ... Just because Michigan is 0-2 doesn't mean the entire Big 10 is weak. Just because.... Apples and oranges. One head-to-head matchup doesn't necessarily prove one team is better than the other. Lord isn't using just Michigan to say the Big 10 is weak. Maybe not but in college football you have to use it as a measuring stick because of all the teams the small amount of games.

Didn't Meg Ryan give a good performance of a fake rally in Harry met Sally?

No that's different. This is actual head to head competition instead of the perception of what's better. God forbid you beat the team in their place, have a better record and actually be considered better.
