[quote name='stag8603']Yeah I don't think Notre Dame has a shot. I don't know if this is the way the computers see it or not, but you would have to give Michigan the nod before giving a team that Michigan beat 47-21 that shot, even if they beat USC. A ND or UCLA win over USC would knock off another contender and leave it to the SEC teams to decide what happens. If USC loses one of their games, that won't help Arkansas at all because they got beat big by USC. I guess it would knock both Arkansas and Florida out if FSU beats Florida and LSU or Florida beat Arkansas. Or if Arkansas loses to LSU and then beats Florida in the ship.

But UM and OSU are who I believe to be the best teams. And the best 2 teams should be in the National Championship. plus it would probably be another great game, which is what an unbiased fan, like myslef, always hopes for.[/quote]
You had 'til you said FSU beats Florida. Unless you heard that Jeff Bowden left early.:lol:
 
Single NCAA Football Championship seeks playoff system for good times. Turn-ons? Enjoys consensus champions determined on the field and underdogs. Turn-offs? BCS polls, biased voting, and bad breath. If you want a good time call 555-NO BRAINER.
 
Do the Terps need a Canes win over BC and a win over Wake to get in the Championship? (I'm not up on the scenarios.)

Fun fact - if the canes lose they are not bowl eligible. Over/Under for number of times this will be mentioned Thursday?

If Miami beats Boston College, the winner of Maryland vs. Wake Forest goes to the ACC Championship.

If Boston College wins, Wake Forest has to beat Maryland to go or else BC gets the nod.

Looks like the Maryland/Wake winner goes to the ACC Championship game.

Yup. I'll be there cheering on the Terps. I probably can't go to Jacksonville for the ACC Championship pending a win in the Wake game or which ever bowl game they end up making so this will be my last chance to see them play this year (in person).

Game to watch today is LSU at Arkansas at 2:30.

If you haven't heard, Miami fired Larry Coker. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2674282
 
Does anyone know what happened when that guy head-butted McCoy after the play? I saw the play during the game and I wonder why he did that. I am also curious why McCoy was even playing most of the time. At the end he threw 4 or 5 passes that were at least 5 yards short of his target, not to mention the interception. I wonder why they didn't put in the backup before he got hurt. I definitely saw it coming.

He didn't headbut him, did he? I mean, he hit him high and made helmet to helmet contact, but he didn't headbut him, right?

I'm not referring to the hit where he went out of the game. I'm talking about the one a few minutes prior to that where #91 on A & M ran up to McCoy and butted him with his helmet after the play was over. He got a 15 yard penalty and was ejected from the game.

I think the hit where McCoy went out was clean.

Oh, I didn't see that hit. That's messed up. Why can't people control themselves?
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Man, this Arkansas/LSU game is crazy.[/QUOTE]

I know. McFadden is without a doubt the best back in the country. He means more to his team than any other team. He's running all over LSU, and LSU is really, really, really, really good.

And Felix Jones is the shit too.

Florida, South Carolina, Tech, Don't know enough to make a prediction, USC.
 
And SC wins on a missed field goal. FSU and Florida are all tied up. And it looks like WVU might lose. Crazy day, today.
 
[quote name='stag8603']Yeah West Virginia lost. FSU is playing really well for the most part.[/QUOTE]

Yep, but that game's over now. The GA/Tech game should be good, especially if UGA plays like they did against Auburn.
 
Florida State's offense looked to be coming around early in the 4th, but it really sputtered at the end. This is probably the best they've looked since the Miami game at the beginning of the year.
 
[quote name='DT778']so usc and ohio for the title game.[/QUOTE]

Man, USC beat the shit out of Notre Dame last night. The commentators, all of whom are idiots (especially Bob Davies), kept on talking about how it wan't a blow out. It totally, one-hundred percent was.

I'm glad we won't be seeing a Michigan/OSU rematch. Even if it is USC, I want to see a new game.
 
[quote name='BlaqRenaissance']USC still has to beat UCLA on Saturday.[/QUOTE]

And do you really think that's going to be a problem? I mean, maybe they'll play soft, and maybe it'll be kind of close because it's a rivalry game, but USC will win.
 
I don't know what I'd hate more, OSU/Michigan again, or OSU/USC. I guess I'd rather see OSU/Michigan because I'm tire of seeing USC play in NC games.
 
I'm working on a playoff system that they can't possibly refuse. It will eliminate the computer poll and replace it with a strength of schedule component of their opponents consisting of this year, and the previous four. It's kinda complicated, and it's damn long work.

I can tell you that as of this point, USC's opponents have a better record than Michigan and Florida. I was kinda surprised.
 
[quote name='DT778']so usc and ohio for the title game.[/quote]

Well, not quite. I hate to say it, but Florida still has an outside shot at making it. They'd have to pummel Arkansas and UCLA would have to beat USC.

And if somehow both teams were to lose, Michigan would definitely be in the title game.

With that said, I would have like to see OSU and Arkansas in the title game.
 
I was really pissed that Xavier Lee wasn't given much of a chance. As much as I love Bobby Bowden his decisions of late have really become puzzling. If we had any sort of offense we could have crushed UF. Our defense is great, even with 4 freshman starting. At least we kept the game close and it wasn't a blowout like last year. We have a very young team and should have a whole new offensive coaching staff coming in so there is something to look forward to.

Yeah I think FSU will be back on track in the next few years. As much as I don't want Maryland to lose to them (like always), I want to see at least 1 top 5 or 10 team from the ACC like FSU usually is.

Speaking of Maryland, that game was embarassing. I don't know what else Ralph could've told them to make them want to win, but they didn't even seem to care. I thought Senior Day, last home game, ACC championship on the line, and that embarassment last week was enough. I guess not.

That is impossible after LSU beat Arkansas.

Why would you include the previous 4 years. Seems kind of unneccesary, but I'm interested in you scheme.

And is USC's SoS tougher than Florida's this year? That seems odd to me. Out of all of the teams in major conferences I think Florida and LSU had the toughest schedules (especially LSU).
 
[quote name='BlaqRenaissance']They still have to play the game. Thats why there are things called "upsets."[/QUOTE]

I understand that, but the question was do you really think that will happen? Sure, there's a chance, but probably USC will dominate.

Well, a team can be one of the best when you schedule them, but when game time finally comes, they may have hit hard times (see Louisville when they scheduled Miami). You can't punish a team for scheduling the best teams and they suck for that one year.

USC's opponent's records are marginally higher than Florida (.567 opposed to .559). If a team plays a I-AA opponent, I am not counting a win, but am counting a loss.

I've only completed Florida to this point with the previous four years. And I'm thinking of adding the AP poll back in to make it four major factors.
 
USC deserves to be #2 over Michigan and Florida. Look at each teams Top 4 Wins, as of right now:

Florida beat

Tennessee (17)
LSU (5)
Georgia
Southern Miss/Kentucky

Michigan beat

Notre Dame (12)
Wisconsin (7)
Penn State
Central Michigan

USC beat

Notre Dame (12)
Arkansas (8)
Nebraska (19)
Cal (21)

Now, I'm no math wizard, but it seems to me like USC has more quality wins than Florida or Michigan. The Big Ten is a 3 team conference, the other 8 range between Mediocre and God Awful. Now, if Florida wins the SEC Title next week, they would certainly have another big time win.

But look at it this way, if Nebraska beats OU, and Arkansas beats Florida, and both of those things COULD happen, that would mean USC holds convincing regular season victories over the Big XII and SEC champions. How could you possibly keep them out of the Title Game, with 1 loss, after that?

The only problem is, you're taking their current rankings. Take their rankings as of when they played:

USC:
Nebraska #19
Oregon #21
Cal #17
ND #6

Florida:
Tenn #13
LSU #9
Auburn #11
Arkansas #5

Michigan:
ND #2
OSU #1

Florida and USC are a good bit closer now. As their opponent's records confirm. Let me work on finalizing my system to see if it matches what the BCS has said. I think what my system would do is match Ohio State v Florida (or LSU should they lose) in the first game, USC v Michigan in the second. Winners play for the title. I think everyone could be happy with that.
 
What do you guys think about Notre Dame being in the top 10 and going to a BCS bowl?

I, for one, do not think they deserve it. They only played two teams that are currently ranked and were blown out by both. They have the Notre Dame hype behind them, but they are really, really, really, really overrated. I wish we could judge teams objectively rather than by name. Notre Dame does not deserve a BCS position. It'll be just another blowout.
