Where's all the stories about how "All is Right in the World" now that USC is back at #1? I got sick of hearing about how it was a "controversy" that Texas had "taken" #1 from USC. What's the definition of "controversy," anyway? Is it a controversy simply because the results of the poll aren't the way that people wanted them to be?
And I can't wait to hear how "the computers don't know anything" because of they way they've "screwed up" the polls. (Talking about how Notre Dame drops to #14 because of the computer polls.) |

Well, remember Zurp, the BCS was put in place to attempt to try and calm concerns of voter bias.
I'm like you, I don't know why people think the BCS is screwed up because it disagrees with what the previously held to be unreliable voters think. The BCS is screwed up, but for other reasons. Like it being a fundementally ridiculous idea. |

Not true, the normal tie-breaking rules still apply.
http://bigten.collegesports.com/spor...103105aad.html The BCS rankings will be announced each Monday through Nov. 28 and the final BCS poll will be announced on Sunday, Dec. 4. The teams ranked No. 1 and 2 in the final BCS standings will meet for the national championship in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4. If a Big Ten team is not ranked No. 1 or 2 in the final BCS poll, the conference champion (or co-champion as designated by the Big Ten tie-breaking procedures) will play in the Fiesta, Orange or Sugar Bowl.

These next few weeks are when all the crazy sh** goes down in the BCS, and teams get shocked. There are a lot of potentials. Stanford is playing good and they play USC before they play ND. ND HAS to worry about that game. VaTech is known for its ability to lay an egg at some point during this time of the season, and it could even be against NC instead of miami. And who the hell knows about UCLA. UCLA-USC will be about 0-0 at halftime, and then end up 77-70 with UCLA scoring all 70 of their points in the 4th quarter. USC also has a game against Fresno State, who is better than half the Pac-10. Florida State has Florida and possibly a ACC championship game. Miami has VaTech and GaTech. Lots of possibilities, should be a fun few weeks to follow. Oklahoma, while its nice to see them helping out by making us look better, I don't give a rat's ass who they lost to, considering they were blown out by Texas, handled soundly by UCLA and TCU, and were taken to OT by Baylor. Their big wins were against the struggling KState, the struggling Nebraska, Baylor, Tulsa and Kansas????? How in the world do you get a BCS ranking for beating that crew????? Oh well, as always, best of luck to you guys over this next stretch. |

Chief, we deliberately put Youboty on an island so that our safties could key on Maroney and company, and to Mason and Cupito's credit, they took advantage of it -- for a little while.
ND's running game isn't quite so dominant, so you won't have to worry about that. If the Domers are unlucky enough to draw OSU in a bowl game, Brady Quinn will spend more time on his back than a Russian whore in Amsterdam...just ask Drew Stanton.You guys DO remember Michigan State, right? They're the guys who planted their flag on your 50 yard line. We beat them, by the way. ![]() |

Although I am rooting for a BCS failure with as many unbeatens as possible, I have to say that overall, the BCS doesn't seem to favor one conference more than another which is a plus

For example, last week my favorite non-OSU team was Wash. St. This week, it's Stanford. |

There is talk of a ND vs OSU Orange Bowl! A real possibility! That, would be a tough ticket to get! Would sell out before it was announced.
I just want to play in Florida, in front of the best high school talent in the south! ![]() |
