The amount of ass kissing their team, coach and quarterback gets is rather amazing since they haven't done anything all year long. Hopefully the TV network and bowl hosts made a lot of cash for letting such a worthless team into the game. It should have been Louisville or Boise State. It's...
Heck, I'd be happy to see the clear #1 (in this case, Ohio State) wait in the Championship game while the next four best teams play in a tournament to get to see who plays OS in that final game. From the bracket posted above, as a die-hard Louisville fan, I'd rather seen them get beat by 30...
The joke is when someone like Notre Dame gets to play after getting their ass kicked by the only good teams they played all year. Blah, blah on Purdue, Penn State, Navy and Georgia Tech. Five of their ten wins were against teams with losing records (Army, Air Force, North Carolina, Michigan...
It could be if everything was fair and the likes of Boise State (undefeated) wouldn't lose a better bowl game to a 2-loss USC. Last night's game could have been just as exciting if a loss meant USC wouldn't even make the playoff.
Chris, you can add Louisville to that one loss bracket. :) It's still a joke USC will be going to the Rose Bowl as well as Notre Dame making one of the four games.
What do these top 8 BCS standings actually mean? I know there are some automatic bids so do the teams in the top 8 that don't get an auto bid get selected? I can't imagine Notre Dame staying in the top 8. If Boise State gets in the top 8 can someone still take Notre Dame over them or does BS...
As an "other" team fan, I'm rather pissed off to hear all this talk about Notre Dame playing Michigan in the Rose Bowl. After playing high school teams four weeks in a row, they get their behinds kicked yet they (the experts) think they should play Michigan who killed them earlier in the year...
If people threw out the computers and used their eyes then I'd say Ohio State and Michigan were the best teams this year. Neither lost to teams they should have beaten (ala USC) so it's hard to punish one for losing by three points. As for Arkansas, they could have gone undefeated and won the...
It's more like the TV network isn't going to let them play in the big game. :) It was funny to see Notre Dame jump so high considering they've been playing high school teams the past few weeks but then again, the networks need them in the big game.
I doubt Notre Dame will get any talk of the big game. When was the last time they played someone with a winning record? Plus, they got the crap kicked out of them by Michigan and it'll be hard putting ND ahead of them in any poll. It would be hard to put Arkansas in the title game before USC. If...
This might be fan talk but Louisville, Rutgers or West Virginia should still have a shot. At least we're getting beat by ranked teams and UL/WV were beaten by undefeated teams. Everyone keeps putting them down because they haven't a history but these other "major" schools aren't showing...
South Carolina leads Florida as I write this. USC is probably the favorite but they've got some very tough games coming up. As one of the guys on ESPN said this morning, you might have a several BCS games with teams with a 2 in the L column. Also, I think the biggest problem with the BCS and...
I'm not sure how the Big East and their BCS bid works but what will happen if WV beats Rutgers and then all three (including Louisville) have one lose?
Rutgers won't get the "big game" but it looks like they should win the conference, which will get them a BCS game. I had never seen them play but I'll add them to the list that could handle many of the other big boys. Everyone here is pretty down but I really don't share their feelings. It...
Wrong again Joseph!! Apparently they suck less than Louisville. :) I honestly can't say I'm shocked Louisville lost but I never thought they'd lose like they did. It reminded me of their game against West Virginia last year when they were up 17 and lost it.
Well, I guess I put my foot in my mouth at halftime when I said I hadn't seen anyone stop Louisville's offense. There's 11 people at my apartment watching the game right now and I think we're all a tad bit nervous right now.
It's hard to tell. Brohm isn't himself yet so I'm not sure how much better they can get or if what we saw against WV, warts and all, is their game. If they'd cut out the mistakes then I'd put them as one of the top 5 teams in the country. If they make the same mistakes then I think a Ohio State...
Now, since you felt WV was the third best team you must now think that third best team is Louisville, no? As for a pathetic OOC schedule, this here is something that has always confused me. If Louisville plays Kansas State, Miami, Kentucky or someone in the dumps like Temple they get...
As a Louisville fan, everyone said the exact same thing when we went up against West Virginia. :) I believe a poll at ESPN had 67% of the country picking WV. Either way, if Louisville goes undefeated then they deserve the Championship Game. Any team in the country would have folded after...
