We'll know morea about the SEC after two more weekends. A lot can happen between now and then. I'll take a rematch with Florida vs. Alabama in the title game. :thumbup:

Upset Saturday -

USC goes down to Notre Dame
Colorado beats Texas :eek:
Any given Sat, but I doubt either will happen. But hey, if 'SC doesn't jump on ND early, they will be in for a fight to the final minute. Should be interesting. I may just hafta root fer ND. First time ever.

Both are long shots... but CU is playing well and UT is probably still hung over after crushing Okie.

I'll check in Sunday night when I get back to civilization. :)

UT 28 Buffs 0. 1st half. Buffs musta had recruiting weekend party last night. :gomer:

Keeping fingers xossed for ND to pull the upset. 21-14, 'SC just intercepted in end zone. w00t!

In other news, Bucks win ugly over MSU, Purdon't officially stinks, Badgers win the axe. PSU is stinking it up in the Big House. :mock surprise: Hawkeyes, is that a field or a cow pasture? That field looks like cr@p. Y'all should be ashamed and forced to forfeit the IU W. :gomer:

Gay Goters losing to Tiggers, 'bama sneaks one out against Ole Miss.

Oh, and note to MSU fan: tackling and special teams are fundamentals of the game. You can't be a good team w/o them. 2 blocked FGs in a game is pathetic, but I ain't bitching about it. :gomer:

Michigan beat MSU, which beat ND, which almost beat USC, which will be the living **** out of Cal. In the end, Cal sucks. :D

I think it's called any given Saturday, with variables like home field playing a huge factor this day and age due to the parity.

i thought SC lost 4 times that game

[dando]

Figures. :laugh:
Uh yeah. :shakehead Simply making a point, something you fail to do consistently, that your comment had nothing to do with the current state of affairs in college football. As if U/M's BC$ status LAST season has anything to do w/today. FACT: U/M is 1 of 4 vs. OSU and ND the past four years, 0 fer 6 in roadie openers the past 6 years, and 1 of 5 in bowl games the past 5 years. If you want some facts, stick those in yer pipe and smoke them. :gomer:

Hats off to Charlie and crew. They clearly have their **** together, and put the talking heads in their place.

Kudos to 'SC as well. Games like this make champions.

But hey, if 'SC doesn't jump on ND early, they will be in for a fight to the final minute.

Man you must be psychic! Heck of an ending.

[coolhand]

SC has been able to pull out every close game the past 4 years sans the 3 OT loss to Cal in 2003.

Leintert had a horrible game, but came out with CLUCTH plays in that final drive.

[dando]

And then there were 5...FSU and PSU fall from the ranks of the unbeaten. Realistically there are only 4 unbeatens, as the Dawgs and Tide may hafta face each other in the SEC championship. Hokies, Dawgs, Tide all have tuff games coming up, 2. Will the Hokies or Dawgs have enuff points to jump UT in the first BC$ poll tomorry? We shall see...

EDIT: there are 7 unbeatens left. I overlooked the Red Raiderz and Broons.

First BC$ poll released:

Man you must be psychic! Heck of an ending.
Yeah, but I dint call it to the final second. :eek: ;)

To have two endings (UM/PSU) like that w/in 15 minutes was incredible, and those weren't the only fantastic finishes yesterday! Bama/Ole Miss, Badgers/Gophers, UCLA/Wazzu, and WVU/Louisville were all great endings. And LSU/UF wasn't too bad either. College foosball is the best game out there by far. :thumbup:

Sucks about the Goters. Even if they beat UGA and FSU, best they can hope for is a Capital One berth. Bummer. :mad:

Florida looks horrible. I think Leak has more interceptions than completions so far this year. There's absolutely 0 possibility of Florida playing in the SEC Championship.

It's going to be UT vs. USC in the Natl. Championship game while 2 undefeated teams from the 2 best conferences in football (SEC & ACC) get completely hosed.

USC cheats. I don't want to cut their talent short, they are certainly an impressive team, but there should've only been 2 seconds on the clock after that ball went out of bounds and Reggie Bush pushed Leinart in for the touchdown which is also totally illegal. No wonder Caroll didn't want any instant replay in that game, then they wouldn't be able to cheat and pull a fast one on the refs (Pac 10 refs for that game btw). USC has a swiss cheese defense and if they played in a real conference there's no way they would have 28 wins in a row. The Pac 10 is probably like the 5th or 6th strongest conference in football. Yes I am totally being a hater here, but I'm so sick of seeing this team get so many props while playing in such a patsy conference.

I certainly don't think that my Dawgs would beat USC but I think VT is scary this year and would wipe the floor with USC's swiss cheese defense. USC would still put up 30+ points, but so would VT. Unfortunately, barring some kind of miracle, that won't happen.

We'll see you in 2 weeks skaven and you'd better hope that Leak is cured of his pickitis because my Dawgs have proven that they're hungry for picks this year. GO DAWGS!!!

Yeah, there is no way UGA will lose twice in SEC play with their remaining schedule. Congrats with that. I still hope the Goters can find an offense and beat UGA and FSU to finish out the season. I thought Urban would do better, but he's never had to scheme against SEC uber-athletes.

Guess I'll just have to be satisfied with beating the hated Vols.

[Ankf00]

the reggie bush play happens every saturday in every game on every short yardage run up the gut. the resulting spot is the messed up part, but **** happens, no excuse for ND not to make the stop after Leinert's stuffed up the middle... anyone else think ND had their midget nickel package in for that play? the guys didn't look big enough to be the goal-line package, looked like a buncha DB's...

someone explain to me how ND losing is somehow proof they're a top 10 team even though they have 2 losses and 3 of 4 wins over nobodies like Pitt and Washington... michigan state beat them, are a 2 loss team with an OT loss to Michigan and lost at Ohio State yet they're 13 or whatever spots behind? Oregon lost 1 game to SC, and beat ASU, a heck of a better resume than ND has... Again, the AP is no holier than the coaches'...

Oh wait, I forgot, ND played the greatest game EVER :rolleyes: This ranking's not quite on the level of BS as 1966 when Alabama was undefeated and suddenly fell from #1 to #3 b/c MSU and ND tied 6-6 in the greatest game EVER... because ND's just THAT good, they deserve a national title for a tie.

UCWestwood has been squeaking out wins against far weaker opponents than what ND has faced. The only reason they should be ahead of ND is because they haven't performed their annual choke job yet.

a real conference? Oregon, ASU, UCLA, and USC are all in the top 25

the pac-10 seems to be doing pretty well.

I had to listened to ignorant babble like you spilled here all the time prior to the the Orange Bowl last year about how a team from a real conference would defeat USC.

but USC bent OU over and went at it.

the SEC has not produced **** in along time

[Ankf00]

ASU is 3-3, U of O has only beaten Fresno w/ a winning record, UCLA has left southern california ONE time so far, you saw what a real road game did to Penn St, on top of that UCLA has barely squeaked by for a few weeks in a row now, Cal's dropped 2 in a row now. No one in the Pac-10 has come close to toppling USC, translation: 1 team conference, much like the big 12.

quit whining about east coast bias when none of your teams know how to bring it.

Texas Tech 45
California 21

remember that one? :gomer:

[coolhand]

when was that game? i dont remember.

but i think it is pretty weak that people bash USC for their conference when they have shown they can play.

[Ankf00]

yep, losing to U of A, U of O, and ASU at the half, that's pounding 'em into oblivion ;) we'll see how it pans out in the end, and the PAC-10 still blows, SC's opened themselves up to criticism all on their own, but they've got the W's and that's all that matters, unless you're Notre Dame in which case a tie or a loss is better than other teams' wins...

SC wins by 1 it's "gutty", Texas D dominates OSU and they "got lucky." you shouldn't be the one talking about criticisms;)

oh yeah.

Tennesee is 2-2 3-2
and cal is 2-2 5-2 but tenn is 1 and cal is 25? :saywhat:

[Ankf00]

yes, Tennessee has lost to Georgia and won in Baton Rouge, Cal has played UCLA, do you really want to go there?

The Pac-10 is STILL as weak as the big 12

LSU already GI'ed ASU in Sun Devil Stadium, SEC has 3 top 10 teams, and Auburn can take anyone outside of SC in the Pac-10 with their D. UCLA's like Michigan State minus the win over 4-2 ND :gomer: and then there's Stanford who lost to D-2 UC Davis... a division TWO team... :shakehead:

Really? Let's take a look at recent history:

2005 (up to week 8) -
4 Pac 10 teams in top 25, 6 SEC teams
2 Pac 10 teams in top 10, 3 SEC teams
Georgia #4, Alabama #5, LSU #7, Auburn #16, Tennessee #17, Florida #18
USC #1, UCLA #8, Oregon #15, Cal #24 (You must have Cal and ASU confused, I don't see ASU in the top 25 of any poll currently)

2004 -
3 Pac 10 teams in final top 25, 4 SEC teams.
Auburn #2, Georgia #7, Tennessee #13, LSU #16
USC #1, Cal #9, Arizona #19

2003 -
2 Pac 10 teams in final top 25, 4 SEC teams
LSU #2, Tennessee #6, Georgia #11, Florida #17
USC #1, Washington St. #15

2002 -
2 Pac 10 teams in final top 25, 5 SEC teams
Georgia #4, Alabama #13, Auburn #19, Florida #22, Arkansas #25
USC #5, Washington St. #7

I think you can see the trend here, the numbers speak for themselves.

A constructive argument would've been nice, but I see that you must be the type of mature person that has to resort to name calling by calling me ignorant and using curse words to refer to the SEC. I suppose by saying that "USC bent OU over and went at it" you are suggesting that USC is homosexual?

Saying the SEC hasn't done anything in a long time is probably the most ridiculous statement I've ever read on this forum. Refer to the above statistics if you still have questions.

I guess it was wrong of me to infer that the Pac 10 isn't a "real" conference, every conference is a real conference. I bet though that if you took a poll of every professional college football analyst that they would all list the SEC, ACC, Big 10 and Big 12 as stronger conferences than the Pac 10. Nice try though.

WAC MAC and CUSA STILL can't hang with big east afterwards... hoeppner's at IU, marshall lucked out at KSu and KSU had freshmen out there.... the only shame about last year's bcs rules is that utah didn't get to face a team like cal.... in which case they would've been whupped, aaron rodgers would've withdrawn to his throbbing ***** after the collosall ass whuppin and the rest of the world would've moved forward.... oh well, F the haters.

what have you done this year? last year's done with, over, last year's defense is gone too. Last year has absolutely no impact on this year. OU is proof enough of last year doesn't matter. 2003 hurts? Try not losing to a buncha dweebs from Berkeley next time :gomer:



you'll be #1 in BCS in 2 weeks, not like it matters unless you're #3 anyways, if being #1 in all computer polls is that important, try getting the rest of your conference to get defenses ranked better than #98 UCLA :gomer:

Whereas S/1986 U 10 is no longer a moon, USC will get a chance to play for the national title if they win out.

I'd say today UT would beat USC. Given three weeks to prep, I might have to give the nod to USC. USC's coaching is worth at least 7 points with three weeks to prepare.

Next week, beat a Shockley-less UGa.

UGa goes on to lose vs. Auburn.

Goters win SEC East and get rematch vs. Alabama.

V Tech gets screwed out of the Rose Bowl and Goters get to beat them too.

Oh yeah, we'll take out Spurrier and Old Bowden along the way.

Vanderbilt too.... :flame:

Yeah, but us OSU cats don't know jack. :gomer:

You hope SC has three ranked teams left to play, but Cal and Fresno St are tenuous @ best. I'll also wager that UCLA will not be unbeaten @ the end of the season when they play SC. Just my take...I just haven't been impressed, and I've seen them a couple of times now.

However, I do believe that SC and UT will play for the BC$ cup, and it will likely be SC #1 and UT #2 becuz the rest of the Big Twinkie is just plain stinky. re: Va Tech...Va Tech plays an enigmatic BC and then Miami...UVA is @ UVA, and they are just as screwy as BC. Miami? Not sure what to make of them. They lost to FSU in a very stinky game, and then struggled to beat a now unranked (or just rank) Clemson. I'm just not sold on the kwality of the ACC as it appears in the polls, but we'll see.

YMMV.

the Miami D's been solid this whole time and Kyle Wright's markedly better than the first couple weeks of the season, same goes for Drew Weatherford, that's what happens when 2 freshmen are playing their first ever games at QB...

ACC, like SEC, has some damn athletic defenses this year, Kyle Wright and Drew Weatherford were highly sought for good reason and they're starting to show it.

Ya... Goters are only team that can beat all the other three undefeateds (is that a word). :gomer:

Next week, beat a Shockley-less UGa.

UGa goes on to lose vs. Auburn.

Goters win SEC East and get rematch vs. Alabama.

V Tech gets screwed out of the Rose Bowl and Goters get to beat them too.

Oh yeah, we'll take out Spurrier and Old Bowden along the way.

Vanderbilt too.... :flame:

And I haven't even started drinking yet tonight... :D

I am simply drunk on Goter power ! ! ! !

Don't get too excited skaven. We've got big bad Joey T. III and he's ready!

Definitely hurt losing Shockley. While I'm certainly happy to be 7-0 at this point, us UGA faithful are starting to be extremely confused and frustrated by Richt's play calling. What's the point of having an all senior O-line and a stable of 3 very quality running backs if you're only going to run the ball 30% of the time. Come on Richt, use your friggin head for crying out loud. Looks like it will be 2 lame duck offenses next week, I guess it will come down to who's defense plays better. I bet both of our defenses give each other's offenses fits all day long.

Speaking of defense, is it just me or are VT and most of the SEC teams the only teams that know how to play defense or what. A lot of people would probably try to say that SEC offenses are weak when you take that 6-3 UT/Bama game into account, but I think that's what can happen when 2 extremely fast, hard hitting and world class defenses meet on the field.

On another note, that running back for Arkansas is faster than Reggie Bush, he made 2 of the fastest guys on our D look like they were in slow motion on that long TD run.

Looks like it will most likely be UT and USC in Pasadena. I thought UCLA might stand a chance to knock off one of the big dogs, but their 98th ranked defense probably couldn't stop Vandy from scoring, much less USC. :shakehead

[Ankf00]

Richt's got 2 rings as an offensive coordinator, I think you guys will be alright on that end :)

[coolhand]

USC is missing 7 of its original 11 defensive starters this season

4 are out for good.

all good players, we are really hurting there. Our secondary has two good safty's and a decent corner but one corner is our weak spot and it always gets exploited.

Master Coaches Survey Poll: http://www.mcspoll.com/poll.htm

gee, 13 out of 16 vote Texas as #1

I bet all these former coaches who watch and discuss every top 25 game every week are colluding to further their biased agenda of anti-pac10 hate and other types of general funny business

[coolhand]

i would like you to provide me with geographical evidence of where these so called "coaches" live.

seems like a bunch of easterners to me

yea, you're right, what would this group of coaches know, they're obviously all from New York City....

since you've never heard of any of these guys, let alone your own former great, John Robinson, you can google them on your own :gomer:

do we get to hear your "but 7 or our defensive players were injured :cry:" when you get rolled later this year? :)

Now, now....we all know that this is being orchestrated by ESPN. These coaches get a script from the Mouse each weekend just like they do for the .1RL. :D

Speaking of conspiracy theories, Dan Patrick went Danicle all over Tommy T. this afternoon. I mean he tore him a new one on the air. It was :laugh:.

EDIT: here's the linky to the DP show site, which has a linky to the show broadcast/archive. They have his Tues show up there now, but they should have today's show up there tomorrow. I believe the interview happened in the first hour.

nice. cuz you know... ESPN... like... has a vengeful bias against the conference they have a TV contract for :gomer: what's the odds on SEC starting to bitch about "northerner-bias" after this year like Pac-10 goobers?

[coolhand]

those coaches are fed a line to go along with the BCS.

once to computer tell theses guys otherwise they will put up SC at #1.

Barnett critical of K-State's tactics
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder won't release his injury report, so Colorado coach Gary Barnett doesn't make his public during K-State week, either.

"You're talking about total CIA," Barnett said when asked of Snyder's long-standing and steadfast insistence on concealing injuries.

And about that camera hanging at the stadium in Manhattan, detailing every move on the visitors' sideline?

Barnett has no comment on that, but many believe the camera records hand signals made by opposing coaches. Those clips, or so the legend goes, are later spliced together alongside the corresponding plays that are run. That way, the Kansas State staff can analyze them in the offseason, so they'll know what the hand signals mean when the teams meet again.

*telephone rings*
"H..Hello? Coach Barnett?"
"This is he."
"Hi, this is Pot. I'd like to introduce you to my good friend, Kettle."

[Ankf00]

wow, an AP voter talking about the superior credibility of the masters coaches survey, he must be on the BCS payroll too :gomer: Is Alabama considered "east coast?" Cuz if so I guess Maisel's just another eastern-biased goober :gomer:


3. What is the Masters Coaches Survey, and should we care?
At the outset of the Master Coaches Survey, the highfalutin name for the old coaches' poll that began this year, I thought, "Whoop-de-do. Another poll." But the more I think about it, and the more I see it, the more I'm buying into it.

The MCS has 16 retired coaches who meet via conference call every Wednesday morning to discuss the best teams in the country. Here's the list: John Cooper, Vince Dooley, Pat Dye, LaVell Edwards, Hayden Fry, Don James, Frank Kush, Dick MacPherson, Bill Mallory, Don Nehlen, John Ralston, John Robinson, Bo Schembechler, R.C. Slocum, Gene Stallings and George Welsh.

Last week, before the BCS, before the majority of the computers, the old guys moved Texas ahead of USC.

The coaches' poll, sponsored by USA Today -- and, for many years, ESPN -- always has left itself open to skepticism. Coaches don't have the time or the inclination to study all the top teams.

But the retired coaches in this survey have the time to study the teams, and they have the inclination. In fact, they love it. At the beginning of each week, the coaches get a DVD with video of the top teams. They divvy the teams up among themselves to study. In that Wednesday conference call, they give their reports, and discuss, argue, laugh and enjoy the fellowship they were too busy and too competitive to enjoy when they coached.

"There is no other group that knows college football like the guys we have," says former Syracuse coach MacPherson, who reported on Florida State this week. "We're not going to go on the call Wednesday morning and not know what we're talking about."

Last week, according to an MCS news release, former Auburn coach Dye predicted Texas would beat Texas Tech because the Longhorns' dominating defensive line would exploit the wide splits in the Red Raiders' offensive line. Texas sacked Cody Hodges six times and cruised to a 52-17 victory.

This week, MacPherson said in a phone interview Monday that Virginia Tech would defeat Boston College. The Eagles have done well in the ACC, coach Mac believes, because the league isn't familiar with their zone blitzes. Virginia Tech's veteran coaching staff has seen Boston College a lot, though, and will know what to do.

MacPherson might be right. He might be wrong. The point is, this is graduate-level discourse on the college football season.

The retired coaches are also smart enough to figure out that their credibility is their biggest selling point. The biggest reason the USA Today coaches' poll suffers from a lack of credibility is the secretive nature of the poll's proceedings. The retired coaches have let the sunshine in, and it's worth listening to them. They'll be on ESPN Classic every Wednesday night. Check them out.

U of South Carolina is #2 in BCS this week, thus why a certain poster is in such fits decrying Stanford-grad Ivan Maisel, John Robinson, and Don James as east coast conspirators the likes of Cassius, Brutus, and Marc Antony ;)... back to the point though, Steve Spurrier and his USC team OBVIOUSLY deserve to be #1 for life despite their suckitude this year.

Oops, my bad, I had forgotten that USC dropped to #2. Got to hand it to Spurrier though, having USC in the running for the national championship in his first year coaching there is pretty impressive. It's amazing that they can lose so many games and still be #2 in BCS standings.

Seriously though, me and my buddies have invented a really cool drinking game watching USC games this year. Every time Spurrier throws down his visor you take a shot.

[Ankf00]

If visor-boy has a hand on his hip w/ that pissed off look you get to give a shot, 2 shots if he's got both hands on his hips :D
