NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

[cybok0]

Well, Pitt is now 2-0 in the Big East, and that win in Tampa could differentiate them from the rest of the conference.

I'll tell you what - it might make the December 6th game (Pitt @ UConn) just HUGE

If it wasn't for that Bowling Green debacle, Pitt would be sitting pretty.

But there are a lot of games left, they have a long way to win the conference.

Put Kansas on upset alert. Iowa St leads 20-0 at the half.

How many teams do you have down there? we have 11 in the BIG TEN. (Spare the jokes about math, they've all been done). How do you propose we play a CCG? You guys wanted a big conference, and you got one, with all the added features. You want a fair national picture? Didn't you guys win the BCS championship last season, and Florida the year before? Are you're winning or whining? You want fair? Finish all your games by Dec.1st, and petition your conference comm. for a national playoff. All the conference winners, and some at-large bids - 16 teams in all, winner take all. No more silly polls and stupid 5th week debates about who is the best in the land.

I'm in complete agreement with the playoff scenario you describe. My point is, if this ever came to pass, they need to be consistent across the board on how they determine conference champions, and all teams need to play the same amount of games. Dump the CCGs in the conferences that have them and let them determine the conference champion through some type of tie-breaker other than the two having to play each other. It winds up as an extra playoff game for those teams.

None of this sh*t will ever happen in our life times (especially us 50 year olds and over), so I'm dropping the subject and going to get a beer.

I hope Kansas gets their arses kicked. Rock choke Jaypokes!!!

I agree. Throw out the bye weeks in some of these conferences (SEC ) and this could easily be done.

You say the CCGs are unnecessary (and I agree), but then you suggest that they are needed in large conferences (which, let's face it, are not going to get any smaller).

Personally, I don't like the CCGs. Why have to play a team that in most cases you've already played and beaten during the regular season? In the SEC it's just an unfair stumbling block in a conference that is already difficult to play in.

When you think about it, the CCGs are already a type of playoff that other conference teams don't have to go through. If CCG conferences want money that bad, why not support a nationwide playoff and incorporate the CCGs into that?

Amen !
I agree with everything you said :up

Texas Tech has put up 58 points on K-State, and it's still the fourth quarter.

And no teams have 50 days off between games either

Who would have thought that Miami/Florida State would be such a thriller?

It's like old times for salsa!

 

[SabresRule]

I'm penciling Texas Tech to be undefeated for their November 1 game with Texas.

They are THAT GOOD.

Let me know when your TT team actually plays someone.
Looks like they only have 2 teams on thier schedule, Texas and Oklahoma

That's Big 12 football there baby!

 

[anders5189]

Carolina's opening up a can of whoop ass on Connecticut!

 

[SabresRule]

Auburn offense- P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C!!

They score the first 13 points and do NOTHING the rest of the game!

Tonight, we simultaneously learned that Vandy's for real and that Auburn's an absolute joke!

Auburn should be DROPPED FROM THE POLLS!

Their quarterback is PATHETIC!!!!

OK....just got home from the FSU - MIA game and all I can say is ....DAMN!! They needed to post LIFEGUARDS at every exit!! It was fun to watch, even if the 'Canes ended with the short end of the stick.

....and for those who don't already know....I actually went to Florida State...go figure!!sadroll

 

[SabresRule]

Salsa,

do you think I'm being too harsh on Auburn or do they deserve the bashing I give them?

 

[SabresRule]

Texas and Oklahoma win today, so they will be undefeated heading into what will be a HUGE Red River Shootout.

Gameday, ARE YOU LISTENING?! You better not go to another SEC game next Saturday!

 

[anders5189]

Carolina laid waste to UConn 38-12. Next up Notre Dame. Bring it!

 

[Jimbo]

OK, Wisconsin gets a HUGE break....

RB fumbles the ball out of the end zone while trying to extend to the goal line and it is called Badger's ball at the two, they go on to score a TD instead of Buckeye's ball going the other way .....

Pathetic NO call

Conspiracy theory?

 

[Jimbo]

Conspiracy theory?

Nope,
After I went back and looked at it, it looks like he had a knee down before he fumbled, but you would think that they would have shown THAT replay and didn't.

Bucks just went down the field and scored, they are up by 3 kicking off with 1:08 to go.
I have been waiting for the Defense that is suppose to be so good this year to STEP UP, nows thier chance.
