I thought about this happening but didn't look at the actual math. sucks.

tho in its own way could help doom the bcs if a 1 loss team gets in

I occasionally listen to the local Lexington sports show, which is hard to do as all they ever talk about is UK basketball or horse racing, but every caller was believing they were going to beat South Carolina. By odds, this seemed nuts to me, as the 'old ball coach' was like 17-0 against them and they hadn't beat South Carolina in a near decade. Hard to believe UK actually won.

UK have a good offense...defense is not so much.

I think Randall Cobb could be a playmaker in the pros.

Urban Meyer is a good coach, but there is also a heck of a lot of hype. Like Roy Williams when he went into NC on basketball, he really benefited and won pretty much on a cupboard already stocked with good players. Those dudes got quick success pretty much on the recruits of guys that got run out on a rail. They have kept it going, but Meyer was overdue for a down season

here is a way in which the BCS would be actively dismantled in short order by the conference commissioners: if boise st makes the nat'l title over an undefeated big 10 or SEC team -- this year we're looking at michigan st & auburn/lsu -- and then wins the nat'l title, then they'll probably bring the house down

theres no way boise would finish above an undefeated sec team. i guess mich st maybe

yeah, also auburn has already been locked out, and that didn't change anything

I think part of it was that in the auburn year it appeared like there were two teams that were def the two best teams, and undefeated auburn wasn't one of them.

even tho, in retrospect, it prob was...

auburn's had two undefeated seasons in the past fifteen years and no national championships or appearances in national championship games to show for it. over that span lsu and florida have four national championships and no undefeated seasons.

however auburn isn't going undefeated this season. and boise isn't playing in the national championship game.

How do you deal with a friend who's an alumnus of a Conference USA school, cheers on her mediocre team obsessively, takes swipes at the BCS at every opportunity, and turns up her nose at watching games consisting only of automatic qualifying schools?

That's like the football hipster equivalent, right?

i would just be like "idk your life of watching east carolina vs tulsa sounds mad boring ttyl"

the difference between being some hipster w/ music or food or something and football is that the SEC has objectively better football teams than Conference USA

I mean it's not like you can be like "oh man you gotta check out this cool team I just discovered" - like, these teams are composed of the players that couldn't get on better teams.

tbf, her whole life has been built on low expectations seeing as how she grew up a Cubs and Bears fan.

In my opinion if you go undefeated and win a BCS game and then go undefeated again you should play in the title game, period.

I don't disagree, and I'd welcome TCU or BSU in the title game if that scenario plays out, but she's holy about it. Annoying.

sparty down 0-17 @ nwestern lol

Persa would probably get creamed in most other conferences, but he's perfect in the Big Ten.

lol @ Notre Dame

& texas

god jordan jefferson is so bad

I love Verne's hearty laugh

watched some of syracuse beating wvu -- this yr more than ever the big east should be stripped of its auto bcs bid

lsus punt game is out of control

the hat

I love watching Mizzou night games, because that place is lit like a high school field.

Also, the Sooners look like garbage.

devion moore (#26) is in my capstone class #braggin

auburn - oregon would be a weird champ game

i should really walk walk the one block to downtown cuz that shit is gonna be poppin

auburn - oregon would be a weird champ game

I'd love it, but I really don't think Auburn could keep up with the Duck offense.

yeah go flip some cars J0rdan

Johnny, they didn't have their first night game until 1992!

ha i'm so tired from waking up to go to gameday but i can't not go out

LEt me know when Greektown's in Flames.

they stole the goalposts from the field

Harpo's it is, then.

yeah, i don't think i'm gonna be able to get w/in 50 feet of the place

I don't think I ever took two steps into that place.

watching these dudes carry the post was like world's strongest man except replace one massive eastern european w/ 13 out of shape college guys

I'm surprised Auburn didn't leapfrog Boise State in the polls, but I'm NOT surprised Oklahoma fell out of the top 10. lol

Ok, BCS update: I am VERY surprised Auburn leapfrogged both Oregon and Boise State. I know they beat #6 LSU, but still.
