[Tournament] 2007 College Football

Wow. The last three minutes? Matt Ryan made it look easy running away from VT defensive line. I think all his big plays came when VT broke his pocket. The flag for their second tounchdown was a huge WTFBBQ for them, but then he did the exact same thing right afterwards.

BC's Special Teams really came out for them today. Nice onside kick, but I thought it was over even when they got it.

Saying BC's coach dance like a little girl was pretty funny though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think the thing to take away from last nights game is that both teams are extremely overrated and the ACC is a pile of shit this year.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm still in shock from BC's win last night...I feel sorry for the Hokies, they had it won. Instead, Boston College remains undefeated and will keep their #2 spot for now. I don't expect Ohio State to lose to Paterno's Penn State but after all that has happened this year, anything's possible.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oregon 17 v. USC 10

Start of the 4th Quarter

Well theres a lil bit of a "mistake" by Sanchez.

Last play of USC = interception.
Oregon wins 24-17

well...after they clear the field

Jam it back in, in the dark.

24-17, Oregon. This is the second loss for the Trojans. Bye bye Rose Bowl. Maybe.

Damn. I hope Booty gets better really fast. Hopefully he can pull something off.

Fight on! And beat the Beavers!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Jeez. Washington State is like...pissed! This is turning into a pretty interesting game. This one and the Cal Vs ASU game will be the two interesting games of the day for the Pac 10.


Mainly because ASU and UCLA are the top of the Pac-10

Additional Spam:
Alright, so far this is the top 3 I see for the BCS rankings

Ohio St.
LSU
Boston College

Even though LSU had a bye, BC just played shitty against VT for what I saw


Oregon vs. ASU Will be THE Pac-10 game of the Year

Next weeks game is going to be HUGE

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not that it was up upset, but did Michigan pull that last one out at the last bit. Despite our bad beginning, we've held it together since then. The road leads ever on to OSU...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

LSU players must have been sneezing a lot, because the refs were throwing those yellow hankies at them ALL GAME. Oh well, Alabama still lost

How ya doing, buddy?

VICTORY HAS NEVER BEEN SO SWEET!!!!

This shall pave the way for LSU!!!!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Go Navy for beating Notre Dame in a triple overtime 46-44! It's been a long 44 years since Navy ever won against Notre Dame.

Go Trojans! We beat OSU 24-3! That with Oregon defeating ASU, the small chance to the Rose Bowl is increasing!

Fight on! And beat the Bears!

FELIPE NO

I see Oregon moving to #2 ahead of LSU

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think, at this point, Oregon is a better team than LSU, but I don't see them making a big enough jump in the computers or in the polls to get ahead.

Oregon may have the easiest path to the national championship game, though. They only have games at Arizona, at UCLA (good record, but absolutely terrible), and Oregon State (who, other than a rivalry game, shouldn't be difficult).

LSU still has a deceivingly dangerous game against Arkansas and the SEC championship game just to stay undefeated. Ohio State still has to beat the teams 3rd (Illinois) and 2nd (Michigan) in the Big Ten.

If I had to guess, I'd say the national championship would be Oregon vs. LSU. I just don't see Ohio State winning out. And I don't think Kansas can get there, even if they are undefeated, unless 3 of OSU, Oregon, LSU, and West Virginia lose between now and the end of the season. We could conceivably leave the only undefeated BCS conference team out of the national championship game. How insane is that?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, first of all Mikey, LSU isn't undefeated. But I think Oregon will have more success with the victory over Arizona St. who is ranked higher than LSU's opponent. And with how the flawed BCS system works, that could very well happen

but poor Nebraska...lost to Kansas - 76 to 39

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Er, right. I meant for LSU to stay in the national championship game, which they will definitely be in if they win out.

If OSU and LSU win out, they will be playing the national championship. Oregon won't be able to catch them because their computer numbers won't be good enough and Kansas is only going to move up to 6th in the polls this week so they can't make up the ground fast enough.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm hoping the polls will see that the pac-10 is full of threats.

Granted Oregon has had some shitty luck in past bowl games, lets hope that if they do get to go to the championships or rose bowl they don't fuck up ><


But thats if they win the next 3. Then again, if this was 6 weeks ago, I'd have told you Cal would be at the rose bowl or the nat'l championships

BCS Rankings later on...

For shits and giggles, I looked up who was bowl eligible. The SEC already has nine teams and another two on the fence.

Quote:

SEC
Already eligible
Alabama (6-3), Arkansas (6-3), Auburn (7-3), Florida (6-3), Georgia (7-2), Kentucky (6-3), LSU (8-1), South Carolina (6-4), Tennessee (6-3).

On the bubble
Mississippi State (5-4), Vanderbilt (5-4).

The ACC and Big 10 are the next closest with 7 a piece with a few on the fence.

Once again, the SEC proves its superiority with most of those loses for those teams being internal.

Alabama to Georgia and LSU.
Arkansas to Alabama, Kentucky, and Auburn.
Auburn to Mississippi State, and LSU.
Florida to Auburn, LSU, and Georiga.
Georgia to South Carolina and Tennessee.
Kentucky to South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi State.
LSU to Kentucky.
South Carolina to LSU, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
Tennessee to Florida and Alabama.

Additional Spam:
Another stat that I tabulated.

LSU opponents are 50-34. (9 games)
Ohio opponents are 45-50. (10 games)

Slanted much? Who plays more ranked teams?

I'm just worried about Oregon and the fact that LSU will have to play another hardcore SEC team in the SEC Championship like Mikey said. Oregon's next three opponents are 14-14. LSU's 13-15, however we'll probably end up playing Georgia or Tennessee also.

I was speaking idiomatically.

GOOD BYE OHIO STATE FROM YOUR NUMBER ONE RANKING!

LSU and Oregon are going to go to number one and number two, depending on how LSU does

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ron Zook wasn't good enough to coach Florida {}, but he has taken Illinois from being a joke to being respectable in two years. At least now we don't have to rely on Michigan to knock off Ohio State.

Georgia is pretty much spanking Auburn at this point, so I'm sad about that. At least Alabama got beat by Mississippi State, so I don't have to listen to any crap from Alabama fans next week.

FELIPE NO

Well, currently it looks like Oregon is looking good to get into the BCS Championship game with Arizona St. looking at the Rose Bowl.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I've heard alot of people saying that Oregon should be #1 in the polls, but they haven't played a schedule nearly as hard as LSU's SEC filled schedule, and the fact that the only game that's LSU has lost went into 3 OTs with Kentucky. I'm so tired of hearing people say that the PAC-10 is now "THE CONFERENCE" in college football. The SEC is, and always will be the toughest conference in Division 1-A football. PERIOD.

I might be a little biased but it's not wrong when it's the truth.

I'm a Tennessee Fan, btw. :P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Pac-10 has a few shit-throwing teams (Stanford, both Washington teams)

but I think the biggest factor between the two conferences is Consistency. This is probably the first year I actually watched more than 3 college football games (Oregon v. Oregon St. -- Oregon vs. Cal -- Oregon vs. USC) in a year but I've noticed that the Pac-10 has like...no consistency.

I guess what...3 or 4 years ago, Oregon was really strong with Clemmens sitting at QB but the ankle injury he suffered kinda screwed the Ducks. Last year Oregon St. had an amazingly strong program but now they kinda went to shit. Arizona St.? Didn't see them at all last year....were they even ranked?

I don't know HOW consistent the SEC has been but it seems from what I've heard (ESPN) they've said its a more consistent program.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just look at the programs in the SEC and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, Vandy, Mississippi, and Mississippi State.

I mean, I don't really see Miss State, Miss, or Vandy to be that big, but the rest of them pretty much speak for themself. I mean, if you go by last week's BCS poll, of the 25 teams, the SEC has 7.

I'm just saying... :P

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't know that anyone is making the argument right now that the Pac-10 is better. Sure, earlier in the season, but some teams have fallen off the radar (then again, everyone seems to notice Cal's demise more than South Carolina's).

Oregon and LSU are comparable. Hell, sure, you can say the SEC is better, but, then again Oregon isn't just squeaking by in all its games like LSU is (and when you watch both teams, Oregon actually does look better). Oregon's one loss came when the ball was about half an inch from being a touchdown, and they only have one other win (to USC) that was even within a touchdown.

Plus, look at your list. The first two teams you listed, the teams with the best records in the SEC East, LSU doesn't even have to play in the regular season. To win the Pac-10 you play every single Pac-10 team.

At any rate, the Pac-10 is head and shoulders above everyone in college basketball this year. :P

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It feels that ever since the Oregon St. fiasco with Cal, its like every time they're second guessing themselves now. You'd expect them to bounce back against Oregon St because the Oregon St. I saw at Cal and all the other OSU games...the Cal game was a completely different team.

While LSU has had some close calls they've all been to big name teams, and we've still pulled away each time. Here's how LSU stacks up against some no-namers:

Mississippi State: 45-0
VA Tech (who isn't even a no-name): 48-7
Middle Tennessee: 44-0
Tulane: 34-9
Louisiana Tech: 58-10

You can't tell me LSU doesn't blow out the not so decent teams like Oregon does. Also, LSU's one loss came in triple over time to a ranked opponent on the road.

What LSU does have to do, however, is play the best team in the SEC East in the SEC Championship game via Georgia or Tennessee. Just add one more ranked opponent to our already beefy schedule. We play everyone in our division and a few from the West, including the defending 2006 National Champions the Florida Gators with, at the time, Heisman hopeful Tim Tebow.

At any rate, should the stars align, this whole debate shall be settled in the BCS Championship game with LSU vs. Oregon. (We would have liked to take on USC to finally silence them, but apparently they fell off their horse, and since Oregon looks like it'll represent the PAC-10 this year, we'll take them)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
