  1. Same goes for UGA v TCU or Michigan v TCU... but until they play, we don't know. That's why we need the expansion IMO. People like Bill doesn't think anyone else matters but SEC teams (maybe a Big 10 team or two every so often). He completely rules out the Big XII or PAC12 has any shot v those conferences... even though I have shown, the Big XII has DOMINATED the other power 5 conferences the past few years. Bill and his BS gets so old. The world doesn't revolve around the SEC.
  2. Don't think you really get it dude. There are only 3-4 teams like Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and UGA. 3 or 4 teams like Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UNC in basketball. You act like a snobby OU fan... that you're better than EVERYONE else because you root for a team that has a history of success. It's EASY to root for those teams. Takes no effort to suffer through a heartbreaking season (last year or 2011 for Oklahoma State for example in football). You remind me of Okies around here (term I'm proud of BTW) in the 80's... root for OU and the Dallas Cowboys. Just root for the team who wins. Bandwagon fans. You Bama fans are just better than everyone else I guess. A program who had to drag themselves out of hell after getting the 2nd worst NCAA punishment in history... going from 0-10-1 to a program who has the 10th most overall wins the past 15 years isn't "so-so at best". You have a f'ed up idea of what a "bottom feeder" is dude. Explain how a program who is 145-61 (v 193-27 for Alabama), 10th in the country for win/loss and winning percent is a bottom feeder??? New Mexico State at 46-137 and a 25% win rate? That's a bottom feeder. Not a team who plays for the conference title virtually every season (along with OU). Your mindset is so annoying. Alabama is the New England of college football. Think they're better than everyone else so everyone else is wrong and can go to hell.
  3. Fresno has been a special teams leading program since as far as I can remember (going back to the early 90's). Not a fan of the rugby style kicking. Oklahoma State had a 29 year old Aussie punter (he got hurt this year) who's a rugby kicker. He got hurt and then was replaced by a normal punting style kicker. Dude who came in to replace him was 10x better. Not sure why the rugby punt style is so popular in college.
  4. "There are probably 6 or 7 better teams in the SEC." You lost ALL creditability with his moronic statement. What a dumb thing to say. TEAM A played, and beat, 9 bowl eligible teams this season. Five of whom were ranked at the time. TEAM B has played 7 bowl eligible teams this season. Five of those ranked and finished 3-2 vs those teams. TEAM C has played 7 bowl eligible teams, beat 2 ranked teams TEAM D has played 7 bowl eligible teams, beat 2 ranked teams TEAM E has played 6 bowl eligible teams, 3 ranked teams and went 2-1 vs those teams Big XII recently (vs power 5 conferences) SEC: 5-2 overall the past 3 years, 4-0 in bowl games Big 10: 4-4 overall the past 3 years (2-0 this year), 0-1 in bowl games Pac12: 7-0 the last 3 years (13-2 the last 5 season), 3-0 in bowl games (4-0 L4 years) ACC: 4-4 the last 3 years, 1-1 in bowl games 20-10 vs Power 5 teams out of conference 8-2 vs Power 5 teams in bowl games You need to stop with the Big XII hate my man. TEAM A: TCU TEAM B: Alabama TEAM C : UGA TEAM D : Michigan TEAM E: USC
  5. Yea, I did read your post and I never said you claimed Bama was going to the Playoffs. I'm questioning your SOS numbers, which as I figured... you pulled out of your rear or didn't really listen to what they said. ESPN has TCU #1 in SOS. You can look it up. Not just something you heard on "Sirius ESPNU", lol. Your evidence is your ears. I can post the link to mine. "Ohio State's schedule ws ranked 69th in terms of difficulty, whereas Alabama's was ranked 9th" Hell, tOSU's SOS is FOURTH per ESPN. Why can't you just admit you were wrong? I'd give TCU about a 25% chance to beat UGA. Who knows. I didn't think an average Kentucky team would stay so close to Georgia like they did. UK missed a short FG with like 5 minutes left if I remember correctly... should have been 16-9 late in the 4Q. I didn't think LSU would lost to freakin' A&M. Here's the thing: YOU DON'T KNOW EITHER. That's why we need a playoff and even more so, an expanded playoff... to answer these questions. Not just "SEC and no one else matters" crap that you say.
  6. Finally turned my Bills cap around.
  7. LOL, "Garbage schedule". Where do you get your SOS numbers? Practically everyone has TCU in the top 20, some have them top 10 (including ESPN ranking them with the #1 most difficult schedule in college football). Yet, the Alabama man... they think they have a garbage one. 🤣 Jeff Sagarin has TCU 21st and Alabama 28th ESPN FPI: TCU 1, Alabama 5 TeamRankings: TCU 9, Alabama 1 Power Rankings Guru: TCU 18, Alabama 25 What's comical is you refuse to believe anyone has the right to play in a playoff other than SEC teams (or Big 10 teams). This is why you have no validity. TCU is 5-0 vs top 25 teams Alabama is 3-2 vs top 25 teams
  8. IMO.... 1. Farve 2. Allen 3. Vick 4. Marino 5. Elway Honorable mention: Doug Williams, Cunningham, Mahomes, Rodgers, Jeff George, Big Ben, Kelly, Brady, Moon, Stafford, Peyton
  9. Agree... and that's a tough one for me. I became a Bills fan because of Thurman (when he was drafted from my alma mater, Oklahoma State).
  10. Really surprised by tOSU over the weekend. I thought their defense would help give them the win over Michgan. I'm glad TCU is still winning... the Big XII Championship game should be a good one. K-State is a salty team, even with the backup QB playing. The Wildcats had a 28-17 halftime lead in the first meeting and ended up being shut out in the 2nd half. But I think TCU will win and go to their first CFP. Seeing them and Michigan play will be really interesting. Michigan offense: 39.8 ppg TCU offense: 41.3 ppg Michigan defense: 12.7 ppg TCU defense: 24.5 ppg SOS Michigan: 8 (it was 29 before playing tOSU) TCU: 9 If everything ends today and the CFP rankings mirror the AP top 25 we have 2 GREAT matchups. UGA's defense v USC's offense and then offense v offense in the 2 v 3 game.
  11. We don't know. GOP has not been allowed to look at it.
  12. His father's dealings with countries like Ukraine and China and how he was able to use his father to influence outcomes. There is a former business partner of Hunter who said Joe Biden directly used his pull to work with energy companies both in Ukraine and China, which was attached to the CCP. But Trump and Russia. Right? Let's have Congress look into that rumor.
  13. They already said they are flying back Sunday evening. Way too difficult logistics to make staying there, actually happen.
  14. This is why: https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/313090333 We will never agree on this one. Sorry. OSU was the better team in 2011. No one could stop that offense.
  15. It was my first trip to Western/upstate NY. BIG Oklahoma State fan and for years, traveled in the post-season to watch them play hoops (2 Final Fours, countless sweet 16's, etc. under Eddie Sutton). Never experienced an 'inflated dome' before that. Was crazy. Glad they changed it! Made me nervous leaving on breaks.
  16. Don't want drunk fans getting sucked out of the stadium when they opened the doors (watched an OSU tuba player get sucked out the doors leaving the stadium when Oklahoma State played there in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament in 2000).
  17. I never argued with this point. The SEC is the best conference and has been ever since the mid-90's when Florida won. Not even close really. Big XII, Pac12 and Big 10 are all tied with the number of titles since that Florida win (ACC with 4 wins is 2nd?). The SEC has won the vast majority of those titles. As for TCU... the Big XII isn't a joke-conference. I already pointed out the conference is 2-1 v Big 10 and SEC teams this year (the lone close loss was your Bama/UT game). The Conference as a whole this year is 5-3 vs Power 5 conferences in the non-conference slate. WVU lost to Pittsburgh on the road by 7 in the opener, Tech lost on the road to NC State by 13, and then Texas v Alabama. Tech and WVU are - AWFUL - teams this season. I could argue the best conferences from top to bottom this year are, in order: 1. SEC (71% will likely go to a bowl, 1 or 2 CFP) 2. Big 10 (71% will likely go bowling, 1 or 2 CFP) 3. Big XII (80% will likely go bowling, 1 CFP) 4. ACC (71% will likely go bowling, 1 possible CFP) 5. PAC12 (50% will likely go to a bowl, 1 possible CFP) My entire point is this: We need an expanded playoff to PROVE all of these arguments we have. SEC has looked solid as always, but do we know TCU can't hang or even beat a team like Tennessee? Maybe even UGA somehow (TCU has a solid defense)? Could USC beat Michigan? We would never know unless we actually expand the whole thing. Not to 68 teams like the NCAA Basketball Tournament, but something better what we have now... which is better than the BCS... which was better than the AP deciding it... and so on. Remember when Boise beat OU in the Fiesta Bowl? We never know unless they play. Thankfully, we are going to get the expanded playoff so this argument is moot.
  18. I didn't call you a name. But anyway.... Yea, this year they suck. When Oklahoma State has a "suck" year, we win eight games. Most teams in the country would kill for an 8 win season. Again, going back like 15 years OSU has been a top 10 winning program (actually 9th). You can make attempts to rip on the Cowboys all you want, but here ya go. Since 2008 (when Alabama woke back up in Saban's 2nd year): 1. Bama 2. Ohio State 3. Boise State 4. Clemson 5. OU 6. UGA 7. Oregon 8. LSU 9. Oklahoma State 10. Wisconsin Again, I've said Oklahoma State is DOWN this year. Figured we'd be 4th in the Big XII. Looks like we will finish 3rd. And as cle23 said, the parade (two teams makes a parade?) is leaving because of $$$$. That's it. Prior to Saban, Alabama pretty much sucked. I would expect with a top tier coach, 5 star after 5 star kid, and the HISTORY you have, I'd expect you to win games. Gundy is a top tier coach, gets 3 star and a couple 4 star recruits, at a historically average football school and we manage to win nearly 10+ games a season. He was able to turn OSU into a top program year in and year out. Still want to hear how a 13-0 TCU team shouldn't be allowed in the CFP Playoff? Are you going to ignore those of us that have asked you?
  19. They 'were' and I can be wrong about a team. Spencer Sanders was playing GREAT going into the TCU game were he got hurt. We lose in DOUBLE OT in Fort Worth. A game we should have never lost... up 17 and blew it. He then goes in, hurt, and we beat Texas (again) at home. Still injured, he goes to Manhattan (not the easiest place to play) against a solid KSU team and just implode. He gets hurt, has to leave the game. He then can't go against Kansas, we lose. Two freshman QB's as backups, not a good combo. Alabama knows this first hand. During that whole 2 game stretch, we lose two starting DL's, 2 starting DB's, 3 starting OL and 2 starting WR's along with the QB and punter. Many of those guys, for the season. Before the season started, I figured we'd be about 4th in the Big XII. When we beat Texas, there was no reason to think OSU couldn't go back to the Big XII championship game and get revenge on TCU. Yea, I'm a homer... but you're a homer who refuses to think anything other than "SEC". I'm not an idiot like that. Still love to hear how a 13-0 TCU team doesn't deserve to get into the CFP.
  20. How exactly am I "panicking" by posting what he's on pace for (I did it to show he's sorta on par with last season)? Let me know....
  21. You're right, I was thinking week 10 = 10 games instead of 9.
  22. He wants ONLY SEC or BiG teams in the Playoffs. Even if Clemson goes undefeated, mind you they beat Alabama TWICE for the National Championship the past few years, they shouldn't be allowed to go either. But if Tennessee or Florida goes 12-0, they get to play in it. Not a 13-0 TCU 🙄 Dude is the DEFINITION of a homer.
  23. Makes all your arguments and statements seem pointless now. You SEC homers are ridiculous. "Only teams in the SEC matter!" (as a ranked Kentucky team LOSES to freakin' Vandy) Texas, who SUCKS again, who got destroyed by TCU... should have beat your mighty Tide. Big XII teams are 2-1 vs the SEC and Big 10 this year. Lone loss was Texas. TCU would beat Alabama by 14. You should have lost to Ole Miss last weekend.
