College Football

I just don't see the BCS ever working every year. It's not set up to work properly. It's set up to keep a lot of money going to the big conferences and the big bowl game. That's why we'll never see a playoff. They really don't care about a true champion as much as they care about bringing a lot of money to the bowls and the top programs.

Spurrier says no to Florida

Who's the best choice now? Not that I love Florida football or anything but I think Urban Meyer should be at the top of the list.

Great game with Louisville and Memphis. It was like watching the complete opposite of a Big Ten game.

What's the best matchup this weekend? I would say Oklahoma State vs. Texas.

I just gotta say, how about those Cyclones!

ISU has been having a pretty bad season. Then they pulled off a couple of conference wins and they find themselves in the running for 1st place. If the Cyclones can defeat Nebraska, they will be on top in the Big 12 North. I think they have a decent shot at doing it too. Nebraska's passing game will be hurtin this week with their best receiver sitting on the bench.

Its going to be a fun game to watch.

Should be a great Big East game in 2010.*

Probably. I wouldn't be surprised if Texas has less trouble with OK St. than Oklahoma did; Texas is the best team in the Big 12, but they have a mental hangup with Oklahoma that's eerily reminiscent of Cooper's Ohio State teams (which often could beat anyone except Michigan).

* The 16-team in basketball/8-team in football "New Big East" is a temporary arrangement that will almost certainly break up in 5 years when all the teams have been together long enough that the NCAA will give both confrences formed out of the split guaranteed bids to the basketball tournament. At that point, the football schools will add another team (9 teams make scheduling a lot easier than 8). If this were to happen today, that team would almost certainly be Memphis. Syracuse, Pitt, L'Ville, Cinci, UConn, Rutgers, West Virginia, South Florida, and Memphis looks like a northern version of the old ACC -- amazing basketball, but a shaky football conference dominated by one school.

Cooper also hasd trouble in the Bowl games...not near as much as against that school up noth though.

Best game might be Wisconsin Minnosota. I know the Gophers haven't played well in the past few weeks, but this is for the Paul Bunyon's Axe, and they take that very seriously.

The Irish could give Tenn problems.

Maryland and Virginia should also be a good game. I'll even pull for Maryland so the Xath doesn't yell at me again.

I'm excited. Last year's score was 27-17, and we seem to be pretty even stat wise. I'm looking for a victory this year too....come on bowl invite...

Well, these Badgers just might have something this year. 21 nothing in the firtst quarter.

Nice win for OSU, least they can make it to a bowl game now!!!

 

[Krug]

Close call for Cal Golden Bears, but they managed to pull it off 28-27, despite 2 missed FGs. Oregon scored all their points in the first half, and the Cal D found itself in the second half to eke out the win. Whew.

 

[LeapingShark]

OSU v Texas. Wow, what a game! Texas just came back from the dead to tie in the 3rd quarter.

And then there is the Fog game, the other other OSU...Oregon State with ?USC visiting them. I can't see how they find the ball in that stuff.
