OT: Wow (BCS Championship)
Except for the first 15 seconds, Florida owned every aspect of that game. Simply dominating.
Congrats to the Gators! |
I just got home from my game a few minutes ago. However, we got an update on our way home. Reading the title of this thread...I thought I missed a major, major come back! ;)

And Jack did us proud! Being the crew chief for a national championship game is a once in a lifetime thing, and I'm glad he got the chance. Now that it's done, he can get back to focusing on really important things like HS basketball! :D :D |

Oh, Off Topic! Gotcha... |
It appears that the Big Ten was not as good as people thought. Both Michigan and Ohio State got handled in their bowl games.
I say give the National Championship to Boise State. The precedent was set when BYU got it by being the only unbeaten, untied team with the same 13-0 record back in 1984. |
Wait a minute. The SEC was 1-2 verse the Big Ten during bowl games. This game tonight was the only moment the SEC won a game against the Big Ten. Wisconsin beat Arkansas and a very average Penn State (not ranked and could not beat any of the top Big Ten teams this year) team beat Tennessee. A 17th ranked Tennessee team at that.

The WAC went 3-1 with the only loss by 1 point.
People need to start changing their thinking. The so-called "power conferences" are disappearing with the NCAA reduction in D1 scholarships. The talent pool is getting spread out to more schools. The rise of the WAC in football and the Missouri Valley in basketball are good examples of this. People need to stop assuming one team is better than another or that one conference is superior simply because of the name and tenure. The #1 place that this unfair bias shows up is in preseason polls. Teams should have to play four or five games before they are eligible to be ranked. |
The particilar record of a conference in bowls doesn't mean a whole lot. For example, Tennessee had the 5th best record in the SEC...not one of their better teams. Hardly worthy of basing much on.
So what if the WAC goes 3-1....aside from Boise St, they didn't really accomplish much....their 2nd place team played the 6th team in the PAC which is usually only 2-3 strong (not exactly earth shattering). And their 3rd place team playing the 5th place Mountain West team...(a pretty weak conference). Except for Boise St., the other WAC teams would be at/near the bottom if they competed in the big conferences....they wouldn't have enough wins to even go to a bowl game. Also, does anyone have any delusion that Boise St. could have made a game against Florida? Maybe better than Ohio St. did...(never mind that the popular argument was that BSU should have been in the game rather than Florida). BSU's schedule wasn't half the schedule Fla. played. No way they'd have been undefeated if they played in the SEC or Big Ten. |
And no way George Mason makes it to the Final Four either, huh? :p
When given the chance these smaller programs continue to rise to the occasion despite the constant nay-sayers. |

In the final AP poll, Boise State was ranked #5; in the final Coaches poll, Boise State was ranked #6.
This is a true statement too. |
USC
USC USC PAC-10 football is way underrated. |
