College Football 2006

*doesn't care about the coaching issues* Mostly cause our stayed! Yeah for more money but *shrugs* that's how it goes.

And thank you L-ville for not embarrassing yourself further. And the Big East as a whole. too bad I don't think it will hold out for the conference fight.

and thank you god, LSU pounded the snot out of the Irish. (Hey I might be Irish, doesn't mean I cheer for them. )

Now I just have wish that the entire stadium collapses on OSU and Florida...oh wait I don't hate the Gators. But still...I do. So death to the BCS. Go playoffs! (I think we could have taken Florida...)

(I think we could have taken Florida...)

Having watched Florida all year, even as a Gator fan, I can tell you that pretty much *any* team could take Florida, but Florida could also take any team.

They played just well enough to win their games (patsy teams nonwithstanding).

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gators are crushed by OSU. On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if the Gators squeaked by OSU either.

The only thing that would surprise me is if the Gators crush OSU. If they do, then they deserve the National Championship. If the Gators barely win, I say give the Championship to Boise State.

I agree.

Dmiwhit, Dimwhit, Dimwhit.

Trust in the Sweater Vest and ye cannot go wrong. Sorry mang, but Buckeyes take it 32-14.

Don't get me wrong, Florida has a chance to win I just don't believe they will.

Yeah, I don't, either. Still, the thought of being the only undefeated will probably cause me to root on the Gators (which normally goes against my nature). Likely won't do any good, though...

I also am all a twitter that once again ND is shown to be the farce of a program that it is. The genius of Charlie Weis has once again led them into a sea of mediocrity that is only matched by the idiocy of Lou Holtz extolling their virtues every time he opened his mouth on ESPN. (which caused Rece Davis to utter my favorite commentator quote of the year: Lou had just finished another misguided tirade of how ND was the ***t and Rece paused and said: "Coach, all roads do not lead back to South Bend!") Great call on that early 4th down Charlie Tuna! Tressell probably just shook his head if he was watching that game.

Of course after the Buckeyes pasted them all over the field last year ND ended up being ranked 2nd in the first polls this year. I predict that ND will be chosen #1 to start next year since LSU beat them even more soundly (only because they scored more points).

 

[Dimwhit]

I wonder if the coaches and media will ever wise up to the fact that ND is highly overrated. If they start any higher than 20th next year, it will be a farce. Hell, they probably shouldn't even start ranked at all.

All of us that hate the BCS are hoping that the Gators win. I have 2 favorite college teams, the home state Wisconsin Badgers, and the local New Mexico Lobos, who can't win a bowl game to save their life.

Note: Actually wasn't a bad call; coaches at the highest levels of college and pro football don't go for it on 4th down anywhere near as much as they should by any statistical analysis (I've seen numbers that suggest you should never punt; I think that's going a bit too far, myself). And while that wasn't a brain-dead obvious go-for-it situation, it was an emenantly makeable one -- though I think the odds would have been better with just lining up and throwing the ball.

Sometimes taking a perfectly logical risk doesn't work. But that doesn't mean that risk shouldn't be taken. ND needed to keep their offense on the field if they were going to win the game; that meant they needed to go for it on 4th and short.

... except those of who hate the BCS, but are from Ohio, and so are constitutionally obliged to support the Buckeyes.
