NCAA Football 2005 Season (1 Viewer)

[Nils Luehrmann]

Lets see...

• Serving Alcohol to Underage Girls
• Accused of having Sex with a Minor
• Reckless Driving
• Driving with a Revoked or Suspended License
• Marijuana Possession
• Flipping The Bird to West Virginia Fans
• Assault with the Intention of Bodily Harm
• And who knows what other 'activities' he was involved in that were either never discovered or released to the public

Unfortunately, this is not an unusual resume for a modern day NFL player, so perhaps he will fit right in. :frowning:

 

[Patrick Sun]

The Minnesota Vikings appears to be the best team for Marcus Vick, he fits right in...

 

[SethH]

This is true, but I think it's because Steger has more authority than Beamer or Weaver. Beamer and Weaver could only kick him off the team. Steger can kick him out of school completely . . . which is what he did.

Texas QB Vince Young to enter NFL draft

 

[Matt Stone]

So, they'll still hold a bowl by the same name in a different location when the National Championship game is being played? For example, in 2009 the National Championship will be in Pasadena, but the Rose Bowl Game will still be played. Will they just move it's physical location?

 

[James St]

From my understanding, no. The Rose Bowl would host two games in a five day span.

 

[Haggai]

I'm a little confused about this national championship game. How would it have worked this year? Would USC and Texas have played in different bowl games at first, to reflect a "seeding" that they would be expected to meet in the national title game? I assume they wouldn't have #1 vs #2 meeting up BEFORE the extra BCS game.

 

[Patrick Sun]

If you have a true 4-team playoff (based on whatever criteria had been set up to rank the teams), #1 plays #4, #2 plays #3, the winner of those games play in the final BCS game. The BCS would have to assign which bowl hosts the #1/#4 matchup and the #2/#3 matchups from the onset. If seeds hold, the #1 and #2 seeds would play for the title in the final game.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

No, USC and Texas would have played a week later in Pasadena. Two other teams would have played in the "official" BCS Rose Bowl on New Year's Day (well, January 2nd this year).

There will now be 10 BCS invitations instead of 8. This is the result of threatened lawsuits from schools in the smaller conferences having little opportunity to get a BCS invitation.

Of course, the logical thing to do would have been setting up #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3, with the winners playing in the BCS title game a week later (as Patrick suggests). But that would make too much sense, so instead we get what I described above.

 

[SethH]

Glad to see that VT had dismissed Marcus Vick before what happened today.

The sad thing is that now he probably won't get drafted because now he might be in jail.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

It is being reported several places including Pro Football Talk that Marcus Vick has been arrested for brandishing a gun outside of a McDonalds on Sunday.

 

[Matt Stone]

Jesus...I didn't think it was possible to fall quicker than Maurice Clarett.

 

[Carlo_M]

Wow, why does the NIN album title "The Downward Spiral" keep coming to mind?

Well, at least he can mealticket off of Michael.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

I think the next Webster's dictionary will have "see Marcus Vick" under the definition of "stupid". What an idiot!

 

[James St]

Maybe Marcus Vick should change his name to Hank Bosnia.

 

[Haggai]

Ah, OK, I get it. So no teams get an "extra" game, it's just that #1 and #2 wait another week and play the title game after all of the bowl games have been played.

 

[James St]

Greatest recruit ever.

 

[Matt Stone]

Hahaha

 

[Robert_Z]

The Steelers and Panthers are demonstrating why I have no respect for college football rankings and requests for a BCS overhaul.

Under the BCS people are requesting, a team like Pittsburgh (with their 5 regular season losses) would never be considered for the "playoffs," such as 4-loss Florida State this past season.

In spite of their regular season losses, the Steelers proved on the field they are better than all the "top-ranked" teams in the AFC.

In the NCAAs, the Steelers would still be ranked below these teams even though they won. A lot of fellow HTF'ers somehow don't have a problem with that (a fact that still baffles me).

Until this is fixed, no BCS tweak will be worth a damn.

That's the final word on NCAA Football 2005. See y'all next season!
