ouchies


only a concussion thankfully

 

[Boom]

Wasn't happy with how UC played in the second half.

But at the same time I give props to UCONN. Great comeback .

 

[BlackLantern]

just got behind and played from behind the whole second half...hell of an offensive output though

The Pac 10 is a conference, like the ACC, SEC, Big 12, Big 10 and Big East. A team's schedule is largely composed of teams from that same conference.

The BCS is a (piece of trash) system that takes teams from those conferences above and uses a number of composite ranking to pair those teams off into high profile bowl games, one of which being (what's supposed to be passed off as) a National Championship game. It gets more involved, but that's the gist of it.

When you hear someone talking about a team 'making the BCS' or 'playing ina BCS bowl' they're referring to the likelihood of that team being selected/qualifying for one of the five major bowl games.

thanks MJ

just started watching CF this year, i don't get all the BCS, PAC 10... stuff,what does all that mean?

The BCS is the current, unfair, unbalanced and unholy system that college football is presently ruled by. It is a ranking system to determine "the best" teams in the nation. But it is in the grand scheme of things, it's a major popularity contest that has denied "the best" teams a shot at the championship a number of times.

That Best injury was the worst looking one Ive ever seen, espec. considering he already had a slight concussion.

 

[Dude101]

LSU got screwed today.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

LSU got screwed today.

i said that two hours ago

Freakin dirty SEC refs

 

[Excel]

Well, if Bama had a half decent qb, they would have won by 30 points anyways. LSU did not deserve to win that one, even if McElroy did his best to give it him. Atleast he can complete the screen pass to Julio.

i hate that it came down to a replay again.

Also, if two teams from a lesser conference (MAC, WAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, C-USA) run the table only one gets a BCS shot.

Basically if TCU runs the table and remains undefeated and Boise State does the same, TCU gets in while Boise State plays at home for their bowl game.

 

[omid17]

^ damn that sucks

 

[Excel]

Julios touchdown was a thing of beauty.

Therein lies the idiocy of it all. They'd rather make money than determine a real champion

LSU got screwed today.

Yup. SEC refs this year have been screwing every team not named Alabama and Florida. Every fan, player and coach in the conference knows it too.

I think a game between Cincy and TCU would be all kinds of fun. Offensive guru Brian Kelley vs. Defensive genius Gary Patterson. And as a Bearcat fan, I'm man enough to admit that the Horned Frogs would probably win, defense trumps offense, look what happened to Boise against TCU. And TCU's offense is probably better tha the Cincy defense. Infact, TCU might just stomp a mudhole in Cincy's ass. But, I also think TCU could defeat Texas. I'm just wondering if it will be TCU or Cincy that winds up playing Georgia Tech if they win the ACC, becuase one of them will unless a miracle happens and they recieve a shot at the national title.

I'm going to laugh if somehow Ohio State and USC wind up winning there conferences and playing in the Rose Bowl. Granted, It's alot more likely that OSU wins the Big Ten and plays Arizona or Oregon. I'd bet money on OSU winning against Arizona or USC, but I don't know if they could slow down the Duck offense and I know they couldn't keep up points wise. Still, I think Iowa wins the Big Ten.

It was a good game indeed.

No way BSU won't get an At-Large. You got the six BCS winners and four At-Large. Every 2nd place BCS conference will have two losses at the end of the year other than the Bama/Fla loser barring an upset, so Boise has two outs. Fiesta will take Boise, Sugar will take TCU if both teams run it.
