What dumbass gave Oklahoma a 1st place vote? Leach?

[The Bad Guy]

Penn State v. Texas Tech national title game.

[Buck]

What dumbass gave Oklahoma a 1st place vote? Leach?

Seriously...

[Smed1065]

Sweet!

[kstater]

Honestly OU should be behind Texas. Regardless of the polls, I still think Texas is the best team in the country.

[The Bad Guy]

Honestly OU should be behind Texas. Regardless of the polls, I still think Texas is the best team in the country.

How does that work exactly when they lost to another undefeated team?

[NoLurkerNoMore]

It will be interesting if Texas Tech will be ranked higher than Penn State if both are undefeated. There would deserve it but I can see the Coaches given it to old Paterno.

[rambleonthruthefog]

bcs is the only one that counts and tech will be #2. can't wait to go to the game next week vs. ok state. Wreck em' Tech!

[beavis]

Honestly OU should be behind Texas. Regardless of the polls, I still think Texas is the best team in the country.

Thinking like this is exactly what's wrong with this ridiculous system.

[Spott]

How do you win by 6 touchdowns and drop 2 spots in the poll? OU is getting screwed.

[DaKCMan AP]

Who should OU be ranked ahead of in the AP? Arguments could be made both ways about Florida being higher/lower.

OU has blown out everybody and lost 1 close game to the #5 team in the country, where as UF lost at home to Ole Miss which is the SEC equivalent of Iowa St. Texas played 4 top 10 teams in a row and lost on the last play of the game and should also be above UF.

OU's two best victories have come against (#24 AP, #23 coaches) TCU and a 14 point victory over (#16 AP, #15 coaches) Kansas. Florida destroyed (#3 coaches, #4 AP) LSU and (#6 BCS, #8 coaches & AP) Georgia.

Sure, OU's loss looks better but Florida's victories are stronger.

[J Diddy]

Penn State got hosed

[DaKCMan AP]

Penn State got hosed

Alabama and Texas Tech actually have quality wins.

[Buck]

Alabama and Texas Tech actually have quality wins.

What time does the BCS usually come out?

[DaKCMan AP]

What time does the BCS usually come out?

After the Fox 4pm game on the post-game show.

[Buck]

After the Fox 4pm game on the post-game show.

Cool, thanks.

[jidar]

Penn State got hosed

Yeah sure.

The rest of the teams in the big 10 that were supposed to be good all lost when they played a decent team outside of their conference, so since Penn State doesn't play anyone and are thus undefeated they're the team that gets the big 10 homer vote this year.

So now here we are again, same story every year. The good teams in the big 12 and sec have to win out so they can get into the Championship otherwise Penn State coasts in. Of course they will be completely dominated by whoever it is that makes it opposite.

[J Diddy]

So Ohio State is nobody?

j-j-jaded

[DaKCMan AP]

Are you really trying to make this argument?

:LOL:

[eazyb81]

Sure, OU's loss looks better but Florida's victories are stronger.

So would you agree with OU ending up ahead of Florida if they win against Tech and Okie State? That would be two top ten wins, just like Florida, and their loss wouldn't be nearly as bad as Florida's.

[jidar]

So Ohio State is nobody?

j-j-jaded

Yes. they are.
Have you not been watching football this year? They suck, just like the rest of the Big 10.

[DaKCMan AP]

Depends. If Florida also beats Florida State and Alabama in the SEC Champ game that would be at least 3 top 10 wins (including a possible #1 Alabama) and a win over a ranked out-of-conf opponent.

[eazyb81]

Depends. If Florida also beats Florida State and Alabama in the SEC Champ game that would be at least 3 top 10 wins (including a possible #1 Alabama) and a win over a ranked out-of-conf opponent.

But then OU could theoretically beat Mizzou in the B12 championship, which would potentially be another top ten win. I could see both arguments, and it's just another example of why this system blows.

[DaKCMan AP]

The way I see it just pray that Penn St drops a game so we get a Big XII/SEC matchup in Miami.

[KcMizzou]

j-j-jadedExactly.

[eazyb81]

The way I see it just pray that Penn St drops a game so we get a Big XII/SEC matchup in Miami.

Yeah, but the sad thing is that they probably won't drop a game considering their remaining schedule, so we'll have to see another blowout in the NC game.

[J Diddy]

Yes. they are.

Silly.

QFT

big12/sec is the game the country wants to see.
The Big 10 not having the testicular fortitude to schedule non-conference games or run a playoff is once again going to ruin the NCAA post season. I'm getting so tired of this.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

If you really think that Penn St. is going to be #2 in the BCS ahead of Alabama and TT if they win out, you are crazy.

[jidar]

Silly.

No what was silly was the 35-3 ass whopping that USC laid up on them. The same USC that went on to be beat by Oregon St. the next week.

[DaKCMan AP]

This ohio state powerhouse that J Diddy speaks of did schedule a non-con game....... but they got blown out 35-3 :D

[jidar]

If you really think that Penn St. is going to be #2 in the BCS ahead of Alabama and TT if they win out, you are crazy.

If all three teams win out then no, penn st wont be #2, but penn st. is the most likely to win out of the three. TT and Alabama both play real football teams (read that as non big 10 teams)

[DaKCMan AP]

No what was silly was the 35-3 ass whopping that USC laid up on them. The same USC that went on to be beat by Oregon St. the next week.

Yet penn state struggled to defeat the powerhouse ohio state team 13-6.

[DaKCMan AP]

Updated with new Harris Poll. BCS out soon.

[007]

USC dropped?! wow.

[Buck]

I dont think its a question that if Texas Tech and Alabama win out thats the Championship game, but I think the likelihood of that actually happening is about 25%.

I think that Penn St. has about a 75% chance of winning out...

Those numbers are totally arbitrary, but you know what I am saying.

[Buck]

Updated with new Harris Poll. BCS out soon.

You think a 1 loss Florida team beats out an undefeated Penn State team? You know if Florida wins out...

[DaKCMan AP]

You think a 1 loss Florida team beats out an undefeated Penn State team? You know if Florida wins out...

I think a 1 loss Florida team is better (and much much much more tested) than an undefeated big 10 team, but I don't know how you deny the only undefeated team from a major conference an opportunity at the NC.

[triple]

Honestly OU should be behind Texas. Regardless of the polls, I still think Texas is the best team in the country.

The computers LOVE Texas, still dislike Florida and Oklahoma and absolutely HATE USC and Oklahoma State.

[Spott]

OU's two best victories have come against (#24 AP, #23 coaches) TCU and a 14 point victory over (#16 AP, #15 coaches) Kansas. Florida destroyed (#3 coaches, #4 AP) LSU and (#6 BCS, #8 coaches & AP) Georgia.

But Texas has 3 victories over teams in the top 13 including 2 that are still in the top 10. UF has no wins over any team currently in the top 10.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Florida is the best 1 loss team in the nation IMO.

[Mecca]

Florida is the best 1 loss team in the nation IMO.

Shhh, I don't wanna watch their gimmick ass offense in a national championship again.

[DaKCMan AP]

But Texas has 3 victories over teams in the top 13 including 2 that are still in the top 10. UF has no wins over any team currently in the top 10.

For now I'll go by what teams were ranked when they played. If you want to go by where they currently rank then you might as well just wait until the end to make any argument when OU, OSU and Tech still have to play each other in addition to the Big XII Champ game for whichever team emerges.

UF doesn't have any teams they've played currently in the top 10 because they dropped from the top 10 after UF beat them.

[DaKCMan AP]

Shhh, I don't wanna watch their gimmick ass offense in a national championship again.

:deevee:

Florida > USC

[Mecca]

If we lineup and play I don't think so.....

But watching your team play is like watching some online video game cheezer come to life.

[DaKCMan AP]

Disagree.

[Niblet2008]

Question for USC fans...did you ever go there? Have you ever stepped foot on their campus before???

USC would beat UF on a neutral field.

That was my point, we all know how USC shows in big games.

If you go by what they were ranked, then UT has 3 victories over teams in top 10 including the #1 and #3 teams.

What are you even arguing about? We were talking about OU earlier, not Texas.

Again, I disagree. Spott hates Florida.

USC would massacre Florida...and I hate USC.

I think it's funny how you laugh about that....so wise one explain to me where Florida is better?

And USC to OSU is not a valid comparison.

Florida has performed better against tougher competition. I think Florida would matchup fine against USC.

[Mecca]

Where on the roster would Florida out match SC...lets not get into this whole "oh they played this team" and that because that isn't important USC always comes to play in big games.

I'm trying to figure out where Florida is a better team, because you certainly acted like it was a no brainer.

Florida's speed guys are faster than USC's, Florida has better WRs and Florida has spectacular special teams. Our defense is much improved from last season. USC has better RBs and LBs and their D-Line is probably better too. I'd still take Tebow over Sanchez as a college QB (which is different than discussing pro potential).

[Mecca]

Lets not even discuss how USC has the best safety duo in college football..

[DaKCMan AP]

Lets not even discuss how USC has the best safety duo in college football..

USC has great safeties, but Florida's secondary is no slouch. Both teams play great defense.

[Mecca]

Also when you say WR's what are you basing that on just speed, sure Florida's guys are faster but for actually playing the position Damian Williams is damn good.

[DaKCMan AP]

Percy Harvin > any USC receiver

Louis Murphy is also a damn fine receiver that doesn't get much attention.

Then you still have Deonte Thompson, Riley Cooper, Carl Moore and outstanding TE Aaron Hernandez.

[Mecca]

Percy Harvin isn't even a WR.....atleast not in the true sense of the word he's fast.

And yes I could list off 15 SC WR's too but there is more to playing the position than running really fast and taking option pitches.

[DaKCMan AP]

Percy Harvin isn't even a WR.....atleast not in the true sense of the word he's fast.

Now you're just being absurd.

[Mecca]

I'm just saying that's Floridas team it's a bunch of fast guys. Harvin hasn't exactly developed as a standout WR, half the time he's in the backfield.

[sportsman1]

Gotta love the east vs west coast jackoff. No offense personally.. but the coasts can kiss mine ass.

[Mecca]

Well in the end me and him can agree on one thing...Obama>McCain

[DaKCMan AP]

Harvin runs good routes and has made some spectacular catches in traffic and down the field.

[DaKCMan AP]

Well in the end me and him can agree on one thing...Obama>McCain

And that one thing trumps anything football related.

[Tiger's Fan]

No way in hell that USC or Fla should be ranked above either Texas or Oklahoma. USC and Fla have HORRIBLE losses. You shouldn't be able to play your way out of losses that bad. If Texas or Okie had lost to, say, Iowa St., then I'd feel the same about them. Regardless, the system is a joke.
