bbb Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I guarantee at least one of three teams loses. Hope it's not ND. Doesn't K State have to play in a Big 12 Championship game, also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no Big Xii(-2) championship game, The candy asses at Texas were too worried about getting their asses kicked in the title game. (And they need 12 teams as well) I'm fine with any scenario that has at least 2 of the teams remaining unbeaten, and the overrated sec left out in the cold.

PaattMaann Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I just dont see Oregon or KSU losing....unfortunately I think ND gets left out and has to play in the Rose Bowl (cool for sure...but not the ship) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabnt2005 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Unreal to think that ND can actually go undefeated and not be in the championship game. When would you ever see that but this year? Also, is there a better tight end in college football than Tyler Eifert? I'd be very hard pressed to find one even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Unreal to think that ND can actually go undefeated and not be in the championship game. When would you ever see that but this year? Also, is there a better tight end in college football than Tyler Eifert? I'd be very hard pressed to find one even close. Want a bigger reason to hate the poll/BCS? If ND ends up at unbeaten and #3, it won't be because of 2012. It'll be because of 2011. When ND lost to FSU in the Champs sports bowl last year, they dropped in the pre-season rankings this year to #24, with K-state checking in at #21. Had ND hung on to beat us in the Champs bowl last year, they'd likely have started this year above K-state, and probably be #2 now. So if ND gets shut out of the title game, they lost their opportunity last season. Gotta love that awesome BCS/polling system!

ShipOffToBuffalo Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thank god there is no playoffs this year, who would want to watch Oregon Vs SEC champ, ND Vs KSU, with a winner take all championship game. The ratings for those three games would be terrible. Hoping ND gets in but the way Oregon is playing I don't see them losing and KSU has a pretty easy schedule. Still a great season no matter what and I am hoping Te'o is in a Bills jersey next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of Oregon/K State/Notre dame, ND has looked the least impressive. Kansas State has rolled thru their schedule & Oregon has done the same. ND not so much. Barely beat Purdue, needed a gift overtime win to beat Pitt, I believe Stanford game was overtime as well. Did not look all that impressive against a horrible Boston College team just last saturday. If ND looked more impressive in some of their games & it was Kansas State getting taken to overtime every other week, I believe ND would have jumped K State by now.

I think you're both right; ND has not scored style points like Oregon or KSU, but there's a long history of teams being hurt by their starting point in the polls. ND didn't jump up high right away and by the time they worked their way up to the top 5, the teams ahead of them were pretty well cemented in there. It's easy to jump people when you are ranked in the teens or twenties, but not so much in the top 5. But first things first....there is still a lot of football left before bowl selections.

To be completely fair, i do think that Oregon should be the #1, no questions asked. But to say K-State rolled is a bit of a stretch. They struggled against a average Iowa St team and needed a few late scores to win. Both teams played Miami and won handily, but ND thumped Oklahoma while K-State hung on and squeaked by. I'm not arguing one way or the other, just that the difference between K-State and ND isn't as big as some say. But, as long as 2 of those teams remain unbeaten, and keep the craptastic overrated SEC out of the title game, i'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 11-0; finally an easy one. Good bye KSU, looks like ND will be #2 in the morning. Which SEC team didn't deserve their spot and why?

KD in CA Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 So the two best teams can't be in the same division? That's not really relevant. "Best" is entirely subjective and largely based on pre-season polls. What is the point of having divisions or conferences at all if a team who is basically 3d in their conference can just be annointed to the championship game?

It's nothing more than a popularity contest or beauty pageant. They might as well have Honey Boo Boo hand out the !@#$ing trophy. Go Irish.
