Oregon = #1 :glasses:

Auburn should be number 1. I can't see how they aren't given that they've played the toughest schedule thus far of any undefeated team.

[Cobb]

Watch out for Alabama. They're slowing, but steadily sneaking into the picture. Once this week is over, either TCU or Utah will drop, so they'll continue their climb.

Utah doesn't even belong in the top 10. Bama should absolutely vault back to 1 or 2 if they do indeed win the SEC. They'd absolutely crush Boise or TCU.

Another reason why I'm a fan of a "playoff" system. To be honest, I really don't even know how good Boise State, TCU, or Utah is considering they don't play "anyone".

Absolutely. When your best win is against Virginia Tech or Oregon St. you don't belong in the top 5. Utah's best win is at Pitt! At Pitt! Are you kidding me?

 

A top 25 based playoff with the top overall team getting a first round bye would be my ideal solution. If it works out seeding wise.

Since your memory sucks, I assume you forgot that TCU made Baylor look like a high school team earlier in the season.

The same Baylor team who's best win is against Texas? Ok. Utah still got taken into OT by fricken Pittsburgh.

 

TCU is actually the team I prefer out of all 3 but their schedule is still trash. Bama would rock them. Those teams won't face a team that physical all year.

Baylor is a real team though, so it doesn't matter. Ranked in the top 25, bowl eligible. Baylor also beat KState. TCU, Boise, and Utah have proven themselves against the real competition. Sorry that teams won't schedule them during the regular season though. I don't see what the big deal with them being 3, 4, and 5 is when those spots don't even matter.

 

Look at Utah in 05

Boise in 07

Utah in 09

Boise/TCU in 10

 

These are real teams.

 

In NCAAB, Butler didn't have a tough schedule, yet they gave Duke a run for their money

You really used K-State as a quality win? Seriously?

 

Utah in 05 beat a sorry Pitt team that went 8-4 that year and won the Big East because that conference is WOAT.

 

Boise I'll give you but that OU was definitely overrated if you go back and look at their schedule that year they didn't have a very impressive resume.

 

The 09 Utah team I guess but that Bama looked like they quit mentally from the get-go after they got beat by UF in the SEC title game.

 

Boise/TCU game is a wash basically.

 

I just think that you can't reward a team for playing a [expletive] schedule. Its not that teams won't schedule them, it that they won't schedule great OOC games. Oregon St. isn't a great OOC game.

[Flash]

Butler played 5 ranked teams in their OOC schedule last season. They're also the exception, not the rule when it comes to this scenario as well.

Boise played two ranked OOC teams. The NCAAF season is no where near as long.

 

OSU was/is overrated this season. All they did was beat a [expletive]ty and completely overrated Miami team

 

The irony of you mocking the Big East is too funny to respond to right now. I will say that Pitt was 8-2 going Into the game and were not 8-4.

Oregon St. isn't in the top 25 anymore and VT is barely in there. I think they're at 22 right now.

 

Miami and OSU have nothing to do with this debate so I don't know where you're bringing that out of unless its just to talk [expletive] to me about Miami.

 

Pitt was 8-3 going into that game actually with losses to Nebraska, Syracuse and UCONN.

 

Miami being bad or the ACC being bad doesn't mean that the Big East doesn't suck.

[Flash]

That Pitt team also didn't play a ranked team all season IIRC.

[Lkr]

I didn't mention the ACC. The irony still relates to you talking [expletive] about the Big East though.

 

BC was ranked that season.

 

My jab about Miami/OSU is about how you're a hypocrite. OSU is an elite team but has a less impressive resume thus far than Boise St. I dont care about the James Madison upset, VT is better than Miami.

 

Whenever somethig is proved on the field, why do you always make excuses? The fact is that Pitt was a ranked team from a real conference and lost. Oklahoma was a very good team, won the Big 12, was obviously ranked, and LOST. Alabama was the second best team in the country(sorry, but they were a better team than anyone who would have played Florida). They lost to Utah. Quit trying to put a spin on it.

[Flash]

I just don't see how you can take any one of Utah, TCU or Boise over whichever one of Auburn, Oregon or Bama. A 1 loss SEC champion is more deserving than those teams.

 

Dream scenario here is that Auburn and Oregon win out and then this won't be a problem. Then we can see which one of these teams is for real if they have to end up playing Bama, Nebraska or OU.

I haven't been touting the ACC all year because I know it sucks and I know Miami sucks.

 

Ohio St. still has to play the big time game in their schedule against Iowa. If they win at Iowa then they're considered elite. I'm not sure how you can consider them Elite at this point because they certainly haven't looked the part.

 

We have yet to see VT and Miami play each other. We'll see who ends up being the better team. Miami lost by 5 to a team who almost beat USC after J12 went down. We had a true freshman at QB almost bring us back.

 

Pitt wasn't good. That's the whole point. They were an 8-3 team playing in a BCS game simply because their conference has an automatic bid. I said I'd give you the Boise game but if you go back and look at that OU team, they were overrated that season. Bama quit but I gave Utah credit for that win. I also think USC would've taken out UF or OU that season. They were the best team that season IMO.

I don't worry about it because a 1 loss SEC team would jump them. If Alabama wins out(meaning Auburn loses) they will be either 1 or 2 depending on what Oregon does. If Oregon loses, expect a one loss Big Ten or Big 12 champion to jump them(Wisconsin, OSU, Nebraska, OU). Hell, even your hated LSU team could play for the title if they win out! Stanford isn't likely as they got wolloped by Oregon. Even a two loss SEC team would probably go ahead of anyone else(it's happened before, unfortunately)

I don't see a one loss Big Ten team jumping those teams unfortunately. If there's one who will do it I think it'll be Wisky. I think LSU loses this week to Bama so they'll be out of the discussion.

 

As long as we get Auburn/Bama vs. Oregon I'll be happy.

What kills USC, especially in 08, is the media perception of the PAC10. Big 12 and SEC teams are allowed to lose conference games at home, but SC isn't allowed to lose to a conference team on the road. Even more puzzling is that Oregon St was in line to play in the Rose Bowl until blowing it against Oregon in the last week.

 

I definitely think SC deserved a slot in the title game ahead of OU(lost to Texas, both had a similar record, which is still confusing) and UF who lost at home to Mississippi.

 

This same perception hurts these non AQ teams. I think you have to give the best one an opportunity in a title game. If they lose, never again. If they win, we might finally kill the BCS

Just curious, but if LSU beats Bama, other things happen, and LSU wins the sec, do you want them in the title game ahead of an undefeated Boise St or the winner of the Utah/TCU matchup?

If LSU beats Bama then yes, as lucky as they've been they would deserve it over those other teams because they'll have played the toughest schedule and gone through it with one loss.

 

They still aren't as good as their record indicates though I'll stand by that statement. That win against UT and the win against UNC tell me enough about them.
