MIAMI BAILS OUT THE BCS

You talked a TON of clueless trash on that dreck of a whitebread wannabe program Sportsblogger Live. Those idiots don’t know their ass from a hole in the wall.

Neither do you. You’re pathetic. You’re clueless. And now, you’re on record, video no less, for your stupidity.

Whoops.

Canes pwn.

Goodnight.

Alabama’s OOC:

Middle Tenn.
Southern Miss
Utah State

Going through the SEC undefeated would be an accomplishment but any team that plays that kind of non-conference schedule does not merit serious consideration for a national title. The focus is way too high on going undefeated and not on who you’ve beaten. The voters need to reward teams that play a difficult schedule and the computers need to be removed from the equation.

Even now, the talking heads are focusing on the unbeatens, but if Miami continues to win, they might deserve legitimate consideration for the Rose Bowl, too. There win over VT was more impressive than Texas’ blowout of Baylor. Especially when you consideer that Brown left VY and the starters in the game even though they were up 48-0 in the 4th. That’s just padding the final score to try to impress voters that didn’t watch the game.

There? Should have been “Their”. Can’t believe I did that.

This is the same Miami that played Temple, right?

Just checking.

I agree that out of conference scheduling should be looked at when judging a team, but it should not be given more importance than in conference schedule. Texas played OSU out of conference, but let’s face it, it doesn’t make up for the weak in conference schedule they played this year.

Madan,

Thanks for the helpful, insightful commentary. We look forward to hearing your unique take on the game in the future! Thanks again, and may every day be a Saturday for you!

Sincerely,

Orson

…and Miami got a #3 ranking in the AP for their efforts.

Miami’s loss was to a two loss team that lost to Virgina and NC State…at home. I give full credit to Miami for its impressive win over VT, but the WHOLE season counts, not just November. Objectively, I consider it a long shot that Bama will finish the season unscathed, but if we do, the record will speak for itself and any references to Utah State can be placed in the same file with Miami-Temple, et al. Let the season play out and then we can debate. Right now, I reluctantly agree USC and Texas should be 1-2. If there were an eight team playoff, Miami would certainly be entitled to an invitation, as would Penn State and LSU, if they win out. Conventional wisdom would dictate the BCS will luck out and there will only be two undefeated teams at the end. Here’s hoping Bama spoils that plan.

I have to say OOC is more important than in conference schedule. A team has no choice in who it plays during the conference season, but it can control its OOC schedule. A team that schedules and beats decent teams from other major conferences should be rewarded. Texas can’t help the fact that the Big12 sucks this year. The did something most teams are trying not to do these days. They scheduled a difficult home and home with a traditional power from a major conference. That type of moxie should be rewarded.

Miami’s OOC was Temple, Colorado, and South Florida. Temple is a patsy, every team should have one on its schedule. Colorado has as much right to claim 2nd best team in the Big12 as anyone and South Florida may represent the Big East in the BCS. Neither of those teams is a power, but both are better than any team Alabama played OOC and from more legit conferences than the Sun Belt and Conference USA.

HOW THE FUCK IS THE UF-USC GAME NOT SCHEDULED TO BE ON TV?

It’s scheduled on JP Sports here in Gainesville.

I will be in Columbia though… :)

I would talk about how the haters keep coming out of the woodwork, but I’ll just sit back and watch Bama keep winning.

Might need to score an offensive touchdown to do that. Those SEC defenses are just so gosh-darn good, though.

I would talk about how the haters keep coming out of the woodwork

You might as well talk about that, because you sure as hell can’t talk about your team’s offensive firepower, now can you??? LOL Beat whoops I mean see you next week!

Hey, I wouldn’t be talking smack if my team only beat a I-AA squad by 24. Defense wins championships — just ask Heisman Trophy winner Gino Toretta. Regardless, it should be an excellent game.

K Moore -

Easy, dude. SC-UF is on JP Sports and will be seen across the South at 12:30 p.m. EST. It is also on ESPN Gameplan, and if you don’t have cable, a dish, or a TV with rabbit ears, then just roll down to any legitimate sportsbar and they will have it, too.

Anyone even mentioning the consideration of sending Miami to the Rose Bowl instead of Texas is an idiot. Period.

It’s very amusing that there is this confederacy of Texas haters who had coalesced around the mighty Hokies. Now that VT is nothing more than a picked over carcass in the refrigerator, this disenfranchised group has to find some other tenuous argument to try and keep that idiot Mack Brown out of the Rose Bowl.

It’s over. Let it go.

If defense wins championships, as people keep saying (and saying…) then Bama has to be considered a contender. They have the no. 1 scoring defense in the country. True the O has been wrecked, first by the loss of Prothro and then by the loss of Closner (what is it with broken legs and Bama — does any other team snap bones so easily??) but if the other team can’t score, you don’t need to be hanging 31 a game on them.

This one has shades of 1992….Against Miami in the Sugar Bowl that year, QB Jay Barker had 13 yards passing.

A wise old man told me that if you had a three-point lead, a good defense, and no turnovers, the game is essentially over. A win is a win.

Okay, I’m waaay late with this (I swear off my computer over the weekends), but I have to respectfully disagree with Madan. I thought your commentary on Jenkins and what he means to college football was insightful and inspiring. Though he was unable to pull a win (or anything close to it — geeeez) for the Hokies, after your Jenkins spotlight, I am now reconsidering my earlier wishes to drink with Frank Beamer and would now just take his buddy Jenkins out for a good time.

This comment has nothing to do with football. Please disregard it.

Why thank you. We were sad for Jenkins, too, but Miami just busted VT a nasty one for sixty minutes. A game so brutal it almost wasn’t fun to watch.

Did Miami bail out the BCS. What if USC or Texas lose one game between now and then? That’ll leave like 7 1-loss teams in the mix (I’m assuming Bama loses one game of their remaining schedule LSU, Auburn, and Georgia).

So let’s say Texas is 12-0 (very likely).

Then you have USC, Miami, Va Tech, one or two of Bama/UGA/LSU, possibly Penn State, UCLA (if their the one that beats USC), TCU, Texas Tech, etc. Who DESERVES to play Texas?

More BCS garbage.
