According to his Theory Of Eternal Recurrence, the universe is a finite number of particles, infinitely scattered. BUT, since it's a finite number of particles, given enough time, those particles will eventually rearrange themselves into the exact same combination that brought us to our current reality. Me typing this, you reading it, Knowshon Moreno becoming Brandon Spikes' bitch at the 14-yard line over and over again. It's a sort of immortality, really.

If they didn't like the way the BCS rankings were calculated, they should have picked a more reasonable tie-breaker...like a paper-rock-scissors tournament, or a funny mustache growing competition. The biggest out of conference victories that the Big 12 has are TCU and Cincinatti...and that's it for the top 25. Talk about a whiny bunch of cupcake scheduling ninnies... Maybe next time Mack won't be so quick to schedule hardcore teams like UTEP, Rice, or Florida Atlantic...If he had left lowly UNC on the schedule for this year, they would probably go to the NC. PS...LONG LIVE THE NERDBONE!!! So what did they expect when the Big 12 wrote it’s rules so that BCS standings are part of the tiebreaker?

They would play some other school which qualified for the BCS. My guess would be Texas. @ pop

It seems like a boring matchup to me. You must be a Penn State fan. The Wall Street Journal had an article today floating the theory that BCS voters have moved up conference champions in recent years in the final votes. It is possible, (but I don't think it is likely) that the voters might jump USC over Texas. But it could happen. From the USC perspective a game against Florida, Alabama or Texas would be top of the wish list. Penn State or Choklahoma, not so much, but still better than Utah or tOSU. popcesspool @ 28: Why do you want that? It seems like a boring matchup to me. You must be a Penn State fan.

What better thing to bitch about with your buddies, drink beer, and waste the fall away? And, the money spent on beer contributes to the economy-which (last I checked) is a good thing.

I'll tell you where. Stuck with the realization that, actually, none of this is in our control, and speaking of control, the actions of 18 to 20-year-old men are among those things that are LEAST predictable in life, and no there is not any cosmic force, or God, or law that requires the pendulum will eventually swing your way, or at the very least prevents the NFL collective bargaining agreement from expiring at the precise moment when Stafford and Moreno contemplate leaving or staying, no matter how many war orphans Richt adopts.
