NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

[Jimbo]

PTI-style toss up.

Who's playing with worse effort: Notre Dame or Vanderbilt?

It's got to be ND, Vandy doesn't know when it 's good effort yet .

 

[Jimbo]

Possible miracle ending in Morgantown (ESPNU)!

20-20

 

[BillD1984]

Thats NOT happening Bill

Jimbo,

if you mean Florida St. beating Florida, then I agree with you.

Jimbo,

Yes

 

[SabresRule]

Well, so much for that comeback.

Cincinnati gets off the hook.

 

[BillD1984]

Cincinnati upsets West Virginia, 26-23 in OT.


That was one of the most exciting finishes of the year!

 

[SabresRule]

Cincinnati upsets West Virginia, 26-23 in OT.

I would not call it an upset- Cincinnati and WVU both had 6-2 records heading into the game.

 

[SabresRule]

Florida and Vandy still have ANOTHER quarter to play?

WAVE THE WHITE FLAG, VANDERBILT! THERE IS NO SHAME IN SURRENDER!

Can anyone find a good late-night game on the West Coast?

 

[BillD1984]

I would not call it an upset- Cincinnati and WVU both had 6-2 records heading into the game.

WVU was undefeated in league play, were ranked and were playing in Morgantown (historically one of the toughest venues to win)...........so yeah, I'll call it an upset.

 

[SabresRule]

USC still in a 10-3 struggle?

WHERE'S THE OFFENSE?!

The Big 10 opponent may have a chance in the Rose Bowl for a chance!

Lots of no shows in Morgantown. It's gonna be a crock this year that a BE team gets into the BCS at the expense of someone better.

USC has turned the ball over a couple of times. Cal just can't capitalize on it. They shoot themselves in the foot, miss a wide open receiver, something stupid.

I guess it's up to you to fill in for Sam as the site's Big East basher.

 

[anders5189]

Are you trying to defend them?

 

[SabresRule]

Are you trying to defend them?

No. I'm saying that somebody has to bash that conference if/when Sam and David aren't here.

Earlier this season I made a post of how I was sick of the arguing going back and forth about which conference was better: ACC or Big East.

I think I said something to the effect that it was like comparing Rosie O'Donnell to Roseanne Barr.


I'm here to admit I was W-R-O-N-G!!

Obviously the ACC doesn't have a national championship powerhouse type team, but they do have several quality teams.

I count no less than six ACC teams that, IMO, would win the Big East.

 

[SabresRule]

Toss-up!

Which unit has looked better tonight: Texas Tech's offense or Boston College's defense?

 

[kev1782]

Is there even a way to defend the Big East? Or the ACC for that matter. Or most of the Big 10. Or the Pac 10. I'm not sure I like this whole parity thing. It's dragged some of the conferences into mediocrity, where all the teams can beat each other, therefore they all suck.

 

[anders5189]

Well I won't pile on, but the BE isn't half the conference that the Mountain West is.

Parity is not a bad thing. Who besides Nebraska or Florida St fans liked the way things were in the 90's? Those teams would beat everyone 90-0 every week and win the NC. Yawn. But the BE just stinks. How bad are Louisville, South Florida, and Rutgers now? There isn't a team in the BE that could finish in the Top 3 of any other BCS conference in the country.
