smokinandjokin Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 U Buffalo @ Akron- who gets the win? Did you think this thread would be about something else, Ed? So sorry. There are 30 other threads in this forum that you have spewed all over with your Rutgers b.s. Go find one of those. Let's Go Bulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Had me fooled too. Although tomorrow will mark the end of the 137 year drought for Rutgers playing in a meaningful game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBTG81 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I'm on the fence for tomorrow. My heart says RU, my head says Louisville. Either way, it's been a great season and the program will continue to grow.

smokinandjokin Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 In all honesty Ed, I hope Rutgers performs. I think you are a little over the top in the college football forum sometimes by saying Rutgers would beat every team in the nation, but I understand the excitement. I wouldn't say they've played the toughest schedule, but you have to beat the team that lines up across from you, and Rutgers has continued to do that every week. So good luck and enjoy the game, and just enjoy the ride. Rutgers is relevant on the national football stage, that alone is reason to celebrate. Pride in your team is one thing- but when you bombard everyone with "Rutgers is the best team ever" you have to expect a little pushback. Nonetheless, good luck and enjoy the game.

Ramius Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 louisville will win, but i am holding out hope for rutgers. why? a rutgers win would all but assure a better 1-loss team will make it into the national championship, instead of an undefeated, but undeserving louisville team.

/dev/null Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 So if Texas and Florida win out, and Michigan and Ohio State win out until their HUGE matchup That will leave the winner of Michigan/Ohio State as clear #1 If Michigan beats Ohio State, I think the title game is a rematch. Can't put Texas above OSU (Sorry Blue) and Florida's loss was to Auburn which is ranked lower than Michigan If Ohio State beats Michigan in a close game, I still think the title game is a rematch. If Ohio State blows out Michigan, then I'd say Texas should get a rematch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am a bias FL fan, I am also a realist and wouldn't say that if I didn't believe it. FL hasn't been playing like a championship team in a lot of their games, but with the schedule they have had and the way the BCS works (I am a vocal supporter of a playoff system), I really think the nod should go to FL. Now, what happens if Rutgers wins out? As crazy as it would be, a win at WV to end the season has to put them in the top two, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Honestly, i think that regardless of the outcome of the ohio-St. michigan game, the national title should be a rematch. I hate, i mean i !@#$ing HATE the wolverines with a passion. But i think that if they run the table, then only lose to the #1 team, why should they be punished. As for rutgers, they are a good team, but even with a win over WV, they dont deserve the title game. a BCS game, sure (they will get embarrassed), btu not the title game.

This is exactly why the BCS sucks. Why should they get punished just because they lost a single game, to the #1 team in the nation, a game which by all rights they should lose. I love that louisville lost, because i root for the BCS to !@#$ someone every year. This year, it looks as if multiple teams will be !@#$ again.

Honestly, other than Ohio I don't think there is a single team that has played well enough to justify being champions. All the talking heads are giving nods to the winner of Cal and USC, but both of those teams have looked just as bad at times as the rest of the 1 loss teams. At this point, I actually hope Rutgers does win out. While they certainly aren't championship material, I could at least root for the underdog team who played with heart all year.

smokinandjokin Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Another huge difference - it was the first week of the season, not the last. 831768[/snapback] I get your point, it was early (actually week 2 as you know.) And we know the history of the BCS, it's always better to lose early rather than late. However, what if Michigan beats OSU? Then, assuming Notre Dame wins out, the Irish will only have one loss to the #1 team, which occurred in week 3. Do they deserve a rematch? No, they lost at home. Auburn only lost once to a highly rated Arkansas team, but it was at home. In my opinion, take care of the homefield if you are the National Champ. If there are a bunch of one-loss teams, I think Florida gets the nod over the rest because they come out of by far the toughest conference, and they will have only lost once- a very close game at Auburn (the 10-point margin of victory occurred with Florida trying a last gasp play at 0:00 down by 3, which was fumbled and returned for a TD.) Plus, they will have won a VERY difficult conference title game at a neutral site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I like the idea of an Ohio State - Team Up North rematch in Glendale, but I also believe that there would be a great hue and cry from all of the other deserving schools (and yes, I would include Rutgers now, but only if they run the table). So, I think it would probably be Ohio State - Florida, or possibly a third Buckeyes - Longhorns Winner Take All Rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their SOS should jump with the quality of their last four opponents, and if they win out, things could fall in their favor. They are 7th in computer avg right now, and Florida is 5th. Florida's SOS won't move much at the end of the reg season, but a big SEC final against Auburn or Arkansas should help them. I can imagine the horror in Idaho if Boise State goes undefeated but is left out, and USC plays in the title game, because BSU demolished Oregon State 42-14. If USC runs the table, OSU would be their one loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot fo florida this year, and the team just doesnt look that good. Their only loss (so far, until Nov 25th) was against a good auburn team, but in a lot of their games, they havent looked championship quality. I guess you could say that about a lot of teams, but florida just hasnt looked very spectacular this season. If they win out are they top 5? definitely. Top 2, Methinks otherwise.

Besides the one loss that all the teams will have, none of them have looked like champions in every game. Many of the top teams have looked flat out bad. FL has had the toughest schedule in the league this year. I don't like the BCS, and wish that a playoff system could be figured out, but how things are decided now I don't see another team that deserves it more than FL. As a FL fan I will flat out say that on their own merits they do not deserve to be playing for the championship. They just aren't good enough yet. But that doesn't mean I don't think that based on their SOS and how everyone else has played this year, that they don't deserve to be ranked number 2.
