Notre Dame??? We should scrap the MNC this year. Playoff would be easy by the way, scrap one regular season game. Take all (major)conference champs. tOSU, LSU, OU, Wf'nVU, VaTech, USC and then take 4 at large teams UGa, Hawaii, Mizzurah, and Kansas or whoever. Make the non-con champs play in, leaving 8 teams for a 3 week playoff and then non-tournament teams could play the bowls BTW, I’d go all ‘last month’ on that ass and say “fuck it, put bama in it” but I don’t know who the hell we could beat anymore.

Baker - Retired Blogger, Dixon did tear his ACL near the end of the ASU game. He, Bellotti and the doctors kept it from the rest of the team so it wouldn't leak out. Bellotti claimed to take himself out of the decision to play Dixon against Arizona and let the doctors and Dixon make the decision. Many people here in Portland have been giving Bellotti hell for this sneaky way of absolving himself of any responsibility when in reality he, as the head coach, should have shut Dixon down and protected his pro future.

Oklahoma v Kansas - 2 Big 12 teams in the Fiesta Bowl would be a travesty and an automatic W for the Sooners. West Virginia v Virginia Tech would be a nice memory lane for 2 hated rivals from their Big East days. (Anyone else remember Shayne Graham's game winning fg vs West VA to send VT to the title game in 1999?) Hoping the Zooker will get to take on Pete Carroll's crew in the Rose Bowl. 14 minutes until we find out who plays who.

Oregon was beating Arizona when Dixon got hurt. After he was hurt they lost the game and subsequently, the games to UCLA and Oregon State.

Before the Arizona game, Oregon controlled their own destiny, having beaten both ASU and USC.

When Dixon got hurt and their team flailed, USC won the Pac10.

So did USC back into a Pac 10 victory? I would say so. No way Oregon would have lost to Arizona and UCLA.

You can also say LSU backed into a title game after a hard lobbying effort by ESPN last night after the West VA loss (seriously there every ESPN analyst was saying LSU should jump 4 other teams and get in). As a result, the press and coaches allowed LSU to leapfrog everyone and get in.

If you don’t go undefeated and stay #1 or #2 all season, then you need someone else to lose so you can back into the game.

So can everyone please STFU about backing into the MNC.

What a debacle. Given that Ohio State is in, it is a beauty contest for the other. Personally I think Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia and USC can make a case and are better teams than VT, Hawaii, and/or Kansas. I'd probably give it to Oklahoma. Man, who knows. What a debacle.

If they had played LSU yesterday, I am quite confidant that they would have fared better than Tennessee, meaning that LSU would be playing on New Years Day in a lesser bowl." Too bad they didn't play LSU. Wonder why that was the case? Hrm, perhaps because they failed to win their division. Might be why. Win your conference or shut the fuck up. “UGA got hosed.

Here's mine: tOSU vs. OU. The Sooners look like the best team in the country right now. No way they lose to Texas Tech if Bradford stays healthy. Next: LSU or Georgia? Either or, but I don't see how LSU leapfrogs that much without destroying a decent Tenn. team. My beloved Trojans? They are not playing the best football in America right now; their defense is. The offense is 15th-20th (except for the monster know as Fred Davis). The Stanford loss ends the argument, esp. considering it was a home game. I saw them play at U-Dub and they looked even worse against them. I'm shocked that more people aren't even talking about OU as a legitimate contender. They absolutely look like the real deal to me.

Because they backed into the MNC, and did it while not beating a single team ranked in the current top 25.

Well then hate the system. What is OSU supposed to do? Not got? The system was in place all season and selected them. Everyone hates the system, but it is the system we have.

Hey where is NewAZTiger? He hasn’t posted a screed against all teams but LSU lately.
