Jeff from LA says:

I have to agree with #313, why exactly should we allow tOSU into the MNC again? tOSU looked far more impressive last year and we all know how that turned out. Honestly, whichever team wins the Big 10 is probably going to be a joke. I mean the fact that Purdue, PURDUE has a chance to go undefeated in Big Ten play is insanity. And I’m not saying that because of their history, I’m saying that because of their play against ND today. I’m rooting for Michigan to win the Big 10 this year, they are undefeated in conference play so far.

At least we no longer have to worry about the Big 12 or Big East sneaking into the MNC this year. Well, I take that back, USF now has a chance. Could this be a repeat of 1984?

Let me see if I have this right…

based on Saturdays’ results, Alabama looks like it might go 6-6 or maybe 7-5 if they beat both Miss teams… that means they are paying like, $600,000 per win to the coach…. for this kind of money they can fire the Sabinator, pay six 1A teams to just forfeit, then they can go straight to the Auburn game, then on to a bowl game!!

Why bother with the embarassment of losing to Methuselah on a national stage?

I saw the Warrick / Jefferson collision, I was just wondering if anybody had any links to an online video of it. I’m surprised it hasn’t been spread on the net already as far as I can see. Thanks.

SeaTrojan: That was an ugly game indeed. Losing two OL starters on the same play would destroy nearly any team, and seeing yet another cornerback go down was scary too.. This one goes in the W column for USC though. and on this day of upsets that is something to be thankful for.

Three things,
the humanitarian is full of it, people that support “tOSU”should be castrated seriously noone else calls it tUF (the university of florida) or tUA (the Univeristy of Aladamnbama), and then yall can all wait for the coach Orgeron (tCO) to snap and kill all of you…. and the south will rise agian…

SeaTrojan says:

oc phil,

I agree. They have a few more weeks to “put it together” before the meat of their schedule begins. I am concerned that Carroll and Sarkisian still want to see if the offense can be like the ‘99 St. Louis Rams when, in reality, they have the ‘82 Redskins offense. If they had just run the ball and passed to Fred Davis they would’ve won by 20.

I think this is the only weekend when both TEXAS and FLORIDA lost at the same time. I think both Peter Bean and Orson should be on Anti- Depression meds. After watching Alabama spot FSU then try to come back in the last 2 mins-true to form- you guys can use my ’script for Lithium,Prozac, Rohypnol, Xanax, Medicinal Marijuana, 2 sheets of blotter acid, bottle of ether, and a bottle of absinthe…… Make sure they arent doing the following:
–Making comments about being hopeless, helpless, or worthless
–Saying things like “It would be better if I wasn’t here” or “I want out”, like “I want out of the first half”
–Depression (deep sadness, loss of interest, trouble sleeping and eating) that gets worse, sleeping with fat women..
–A sudden, unexpected switch from being very sad to being very calm or appearing to be happy
–Having a “death wish,” tempting fate by taking risks that could lead to death, like driving fast or through red lights -or rewatching the Florida or Texas game again.
–Losing interest in things one used to care about..like football or sex, or sex w/ a football.
–Visiting or calling people to say goodbye
–Putting affairs in order, tying up lose ends, changing a will, standing up Tebow on your first date….

The Big Dog says:

#314 — “USF now has a chance. Could this be a repeat of 1984?”

Well, no. Should it happen, USF will not have the luxury of playing a 6-5 team in a second-tier bowl game. We have that to be thankful for. They left the realm of the mid-majors the day they signed onto the Big East.

After years and years of talking about the Big Three here in Florida — and I’m a huge fan of one of the three — maybe it’s time to stop treating USF like our stupid kid brother. They are real, and they are dangerous.

ohiostatefan says:

firstly-buckeye v. badger game is in columbus first week of november i believe.

secondly- what we need is to construct the year so all bcs conference teams play one team from each bcs conference outside their own. this will allow us to actually see how good/shitty teams from conferences outside of our own actually are compared to when our respective team plays the same team in our conference who has played the team outside ours.

example….purdue plays kentucky….florida plays kentucky…can sort of rate purdue’s squad compared to florida’s based on results of the former game compared to the latter.

thirdly- thinking about the fact this will never happen will make my head explode all over the freaking place. if you’re not even in the same division (d 1-A v. former d-1AA) as someone…don’t f’ing play them…go play a bcs team instead…..atleast move the season up in august and add 6 to 8 team play off at end of season. that’s the only way shit like this will cease to occur.

tOSU sucks ass says:

Mark it down…..it doesnt matter if there is a playoff or a plus one or vote, the SEC will be the dominate force in any decision. Ohio State wasnt even close to being worthy of playing LSU in a bowl game, much less playing Fla and getting their asses handed to em in the Natl Championship game, hell Ohio State should have played Miss. State to even qualify. So here we are this yr, Michigan sucks, ND sux, and I am pretty sure Ohio State wil follow suit, so much so Michigan will probaly beat OSU, thus spreading the mediocrity theory much further into reality. Cal, USC, LSU…. looks like the only one undefeated will be the true #1, until they face a one loss SEC team, then they will get throttled again. “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”

BeardGuy says:

OSU matches up pretty well against Wisky. Wisky is absolutely terrible on defense, but pretty decent on offense. OSU has a stout defense, and a passable offense. Essentially, if OSU’s defense roughs up Wisky’s offense, I don’t think Wisky’s defense can stop the (admittedly mediocre) OSU offense.

Also, what the hell is going on? 5 top 10 teams lose, and of the 5 that win, only OSU and LSU win convincingly (even if they didn’t play that well). USC, Wisky, and Cal all struggled (against admittedly tougher competition).

Anyway, cue the SEC parity crying. If FLA were any damn good, they wouldn’t lose to fucking Auburn. The SEC is overgoddamnrated, and the PAC10 is clearly the best conference this year.

Kenny says:

For all of the my-conference is-better-than-yours guys and for all the transitive properties guys let’s put them together.

Auburn hosted and beat Kansas State late, a team that went on to handle Texas. Auburn then lost to USF in a game that neither team wanted to win, honestly. And the Bulls defeated West Viriginia.

So there’s a not bad non-conference slate. And, via the transitive property, a down Auburn team is better than this Texas, West Virginia and pretty much everyone Urban has ever fielded and so on.

Do you’re own school. I don’t care. At the end of the day Wofford > App State > Michigan > Penn State > Notre Dame.

Clearly Wofford and USF should meet for the national championship.

Except Wofford lost to NC State, who handled Louisville who fell to Syracuse. The Orangemen were beat by Washington, and the Huskies fell to USC.

So its USC and USF for the title anyway.

In conclusion: The SEC is still better than you.

T-bone says:

Wisky gets no respect but keeps on winning with the nations longest win streak.

They have won their last 2 bowls against SEC teams as well (even though we just hear about OSU’s choke). Even though they squeak by the lower level squads, they rise up to the big challenges and win – the facts are clear.
