Wow, what an amazing, topsy-turvy season in college football and there's only two pages devoted to this?
I was hoping to come here and be swarmed with at lest 20 pages.
What a great season it's been! So many upsets and rivalries and wins and losses and injuries. My god.
Well that's all I've got for now. |

nah i think either lsu or oregon may lose in the next couple of weeks. there's no possible way oklahoma or kansas can jump over lsu or oregon if they win the rest of their games. Oregon still has Arizona, UCLA, and Oregon state, where anything can happen of course. we all know what happens to the #2 team this year ...... hah
as for lsu, they have ole miss and arkansas, where mcfadden can burst out at anytime. after that, the sec championship game against maybe tennessee, if they can win the rest of their games (tennessee beat georgia earlier this year, so they win the tiebreak). i guess we'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks...... |
like i said. mcfadden had a big day today against a suspect lsu defense. good game btw. :) . btw it looks, it may come down to the winner of kansas-missouri and west virginia for the national championship, which is very surprising, because these 3 teams were not even close to being noted during september.
tomorrow is a big test for west virginia though. all they need to do is win against a tough conneticut team, and they seal their deal as one of the 2 teams playing for the national championship. if they lose, looks like ohio state will make a major jump up the standings without playing any games. many people though ohio state's game against michigan proved to not be helpful for their ranking, but after how things have unraveled, it may be important now. |

| Ohio state had a cupcake schedule this year. I don't think they should even be mentioned for the National Title game. |

This is always the only excuse anyone has to disqualify OSU from the title game. |

btw it looks right now, the new 1-2-3 will be west virginia-missouri-ohio state, yet i wouldn't be surprised if some voters put ohio state over missouri, even though missouri convincingly beat the #2 team kansas. after 3, it's real intersting how the rest of the top 10 will fare, with arizona state getting pummeled by usc, lsu and kansas losing tough games, georgia beating georgia tech, and virginia tech beating a solid virginia team. i think there are going to be a lot of complaints with the rankings tomorrow.
a real interesting scenario came up during the kansas-missouri game. so if missouri wins, and plays oklahoma, then what if missouri loses to oklahoma, being that missouri will have the #2 curse, and west virginia gets upset by pittsburgh. then what happens? surely ohio state gets bumped to first, but who gets to play #2? |

wasn't west virginia ranked #3 earlier in the year? i thought a lot of people liked them because they had white and slaton returning. i liked them heading into the season but for some reason they didn't look sharp early on. the whooping they handed uconn in the second half today was just ridiculous. |

As much as I think OSU is the most overrated program this decade, they do schedule at least one opponent from a major conference when they schedule in advance. It's just OSU's luck that Washington wasn't that good this year.
They have USC coming up the next two years |

you baited me so im biting..
how about that they lost to a far lesser team at home to a team that was predicted to finish near the bottom of the big 10... and that OSU (not to be confused with better teams like oklahoma state or oregon state that better represent the OSU name) was never in that game at all... (must hurt knowing it was to a team that picked up a coach that wasnt even good enough for the Gators)
should i even bring up the Akron game which yes you won by 20+ but it took you over a half to make your buckeye faithful breath easily..
i can go on if you like... i wont even touch the schedule aspect..
(for your sake you should have never dissed my gators...)
unfortunately there is still a real shot the team from columbus can make it to the title game... the only thing that has come out of ohio state is kirk herbstriet (he is by far the most intelligent and situationally aware announcer and commentator the game of football at any level has seen)
edit: until FSU has any sort of game again... bashing Ohio State is my true passion... i'd almost rather OSU lose the NC painfully each year than UF beat FSU these days... its that bad..
meaning OSU would win the UM game and be all happy and then get their nuts on...
i'd almost want to go there as a student b/c its a fine educational school and just wear Gator garb every day...
OSU is right there with LSU in my books... they are dead even with hate... well FSU will always be #1 but they are like little kids trying to find their way so its mean now... |

Missouri is going to lose to OU and WVU will win.
And Vern I dont disagree with the fact that they always have a ty schedule. Id hazard a guess that most OSU fans would appreciate a tougher schedule than what they have right now. Its just a shame the Big Ten has been such a Big Flop recently. |
