2009 NCAA Football Thread: Revenge of the Computer Polls

check...I meant check...

They are sending you a chick through the mail? Hope there's holes in the box...

I don't think those are the holes he's most concerned about...

 

[Kelly]

good grief...

 

[Immortalfire]

BL has a mail order bride coming? I love weddings!

Florida vs. Cincy is rolling on...I mean, Tim Tebow's last game vs. Cincy is rolling on. That's what ESPN has been calling it.

 

[StorminNorman]

Can we take the Big East out of the BCS?

The Mountain West is a far superior conference.

 

[BlackLantern]

No...the Big East earned that spot, so Cincy slipped up, it happens...

 

[Boom]

Well. I turned off the CIN/FL game for two reasons.

1) Cincinnati is getting SPANKED, and deservedly so. They are getting outplayed on both sides of the ball.
2) I'm getting really sick of the announcers' collective ******* for Tebow.

 

[StorminNorman]

How did the Big East earn that spot? It's a second rate conference that has gotten exceedingly worse with the loss of coaching talent like Bobby Petrino and Rich Rodriguez.

The Big East is inferior to the WAC and the Mountain West currently.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

This is why TCU should have played Fla. And Boise should have played Cincy. But those BCS jerks didn't have the stones to do it.

The Big East has been made dramatically irrelevant ever since teams like The U and BC left. There's a few bright spots, I think Pitt might be a team to reckon with in coming years.

 

[BlackLantern]

Petrino is a coward and Rich Rod wanted a high profile job....Im a UConn fan and maybe one day they'll make it to a BCS bowl...that's why

plus, the Big East has a better tv market than the Mountain West and the BCS cares about money and ratings, not who has the best teams

The irony, of course, is that since Miami, VT and BC left the Big East - the ACC has actually become a worse conference than even the Big East.

I understand loyalty making you want the Big East remain a BCS team (I want UCF to join the conference for a taste of the BCS) but the play on the field isn't up to snuff.

Of course the proper thing to do would be to eliminate Automatic Qualifiers and simply allow Bowls to pick based on merit and not conference.

Cincinnati is getting destroyed.

Say what you want, but I'm gonna miss looking up the scriptures he uses.
Did anyone else notice the scripture on the Cincy offensive player's arm? If there are any Bearcat fans in here I'd love to know if this is something new or if he's been doing this all year.

I'm also rooting for Tebow to grab the BCS single game all purpose yards record. Probably won't happen, but I think it'd be a fitting end to the Trail of Tears.

Great win by Ohio State, nice to see them get a win after the last 3 bowl games. And what is that smell, is that Cincy stinking up the Sugar Bowl, thought they would play better than what they are.

 

[StorminNorman]

Picking Cinci over Florida and Tennessee over VT were my two really bad misreads. I made the pick before Meyer's whole ordeal, so I thought Florida would be lazy and Cinci's feeling disrespected.

I also picked Miami, Houston and Stanford to win. Wish I would have known Luck was not playing for Stanford

I still can take home my Bowl Pick Em with Iowa over GT, Boise over TCU and East Carolina over Arkansas.

The way they're playing is downright shameful. Brian Kelly or no Brian Kelly...they are better than this.

I agree, I live in Columbus and alot of people I've talked with really thought Cincy would come out a play hard to prove something to Kelly, but I guess not, plus we heard most of the about Cincy being better that OSU, not proving it right now, they haven't slowed Florida down at all.

 

[Arc-Light]

Ohio State won a BCS game? I am in a state of shock

We are 5-3 in BCS games.....yuppers.

 

[VampElvis]

Tebow HAS set the BCS single game all purpose yards mark!
Now, let's see if he can get to 500!

 

[The Game]

The Sugar Bowl has been horrible for the past couple of years, Cinnci seem to want Tebow to go out on a high

 

[Ironfan72]

We are 5-3 in BCS games.....yuppers.

People forget that OSU has actually been pretty good in BCS games under Tressel.
Winning games against Miami (National title), Kansas State, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State, lossing badly to LSU and Florida (which is what everyone remembers), and losing a tough game last year to Texas, a game OSU could have won.
Plus the Big Ten improved there standing this bowl season with nice wins and close loses.

 

[Immortalfire]

Good Grief..Cincy never had a chance.

Uhh.... no.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Cincy gave up a lot of yards to a future NFL H-Back....not something those Cincy players will want to tell their kids in the future.
