Georgia is not going to lose. I doubt Miami will unfortunely. It's always nice to dream though.:p

Who is WSU playing this weekend?
Sorry, but Miami is the best team in the ocuntry right now. And I am saying that knowing GOOD AND WELL that we should have beaten them in their house. Jinxes aside, we had that game. As for FSU, come on. Cut us some slack. We beat a good UF team, as well as the same Iowa State team that beat the Hawkeyes. :p Sure, we lost 4 games, but if we play like we did last Saturday I don't see any reason at all why we shouldn't win whatever bowl we play in. ZetaAce and IowaHawkeye, in the event that we play wither the Hokies or the Hawkeyes, I am gladly taking GC wagers... :D |

USC is in the clear - top 4 in BCS = guaranteed spot. Really, the only thing that can go wrong for the Hawkeyes is someone taking ND as the 2nd at-large, and that would be RIDICULOUS, especially after the scalping at USC this week. Personally, I sorta hope WSU wins this weekend - I don't really want to play USC, they're way too hot, and Palmer was out of control against ND. I'll take WashState over them, easy. |

My favorite quote of the weekend is from Sportcenter the other night "No one, including Miami, is playing better football for the past two months than Southern Cal." |
I don't know - I'm pulling for a UCLA win. an Iowa/USC Rose Bowl would be hotter than the NC game.
Plus, I wanna run into Amycat and Mr. Amycat in southern cali and see who exactly this mystery man is ;) |

As to who he/we are... lol But yeah, we'd have to meet up, I've already got my connection working on tickets. :) |
Old Notre Dame could be up to it again. Its funny that they are even being considered for a BCS spot.
|
Anyone else remember the rivalry Miami and ND used to have? What I woudln't give to see them play again, esp in a bowl game.. Not going to hold my breath, but that'd be fun !

for all the bcs haters...
Yes, its imperfect. Yes, a lot of teams are where they should not be. Ive personally done loads of research on sports (in the pathetic hopes of landing a job somewhere on ESPN) and this is what Ive found: the panel of experts brought in to create the BCS were the finest coaching minds in college football (rumor has it that Jimmy Johnson, Eddie Robinson, and Barry Switzer had parts in it). Having said that, everybody has a different idea of the perfect system, and the worst thing you can do is incorporate incompatible parts of each. Strength of schedule is determined from opponents last years records (ex. if Notre Dame went 13-1 last year, that would make all their opponents schedules rank higher, even if, when they come around on this years schedule, they are 0-6). Current opponent strength has very little to do with the BCS score.
I know, theres not just that. But I think now some important points should be addressed: 1) Theres not going to be a playoff system. Ever. In the age of television sponsorship, theres just too much money to be lost. 2) 99% of the time, public opinion is that there is a definitive national champion. (sorry Oregon fans) No more Nebraska/Michigan nonsense. 3) A win is a win, even a near win. And losses do make teams go down the rankings, just not much. Look at it this way: If Florida State was #1, everyone on the team contracted the flu and they lost to unranked Tallahassee State Basket Weaving College, should they lose their ranking and TSBWC become the new #1? I think one of the best things about the BCS is that it compensates for fluke wins and losses. Thats my rant. I agree that the BCS needs a lot of tuning up, but its better than most alternatives. And the Associated Press and college coaches are getting along better than ever :D P.s. The Oklahoma fans got really quiet all of a sudden... :p |

We lost to Ok State, a decent 7-5 team.. Fluke? Nope they just played better. I'll give it up to them.. Was a hell of a game they played. No fluke at all. Maybe next year we'll get a better QB. I like Hybl's chances in the PGA better than the NFL right now (he's a better golfer than QB from what I've heard). With the talent coming into OU there's no reason why they shouldn't have won in a very lopsided victory. Can't say much else other than the Big 12 is a hell of a tough conference to be in... |
