DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 If Louisville had gotten through WVU, and undefeated Rutgers, most people (not in the SEC) would have been okay with them in the National Championship game. However, it seems like Rutgers has a chance to get through Louisville and WVU. Following the logic, Rutgers should be as equally deserving to get to the big game, right? U of L's only big win outside of conference was against a bad Miami team, and Rutgers' biggest nonconference win was at Illinois, also not a big deal.However, I see Rutgers losing to WVU (no idea where that game is played) and the Big East becoming the SEC North, which a bunch of good 1-loss teams. Pity. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The game is at West Virginia.I believe John Saunders summed up the problem here farely well. It's like a horse winning a horserace, and then afterwards being disqualified because nobody thought he was good enough to win before the race. I don't hate the BCS as much as most, but there's a problem when you're disqualifying teams from being able to win the Championship before the season ever starts.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 If Rutgers goes undeafted they should be in the National Championship game. But because the southern and midwesterners won't be able to handle that a northeastern, pro sports town, school is actually good at college football they won't. It's a shame because they are a great story but college football doesn't allow for those out of nowhere national title runs. It is why college football in general is a joke.Here's to a Maryland-Rutgers Orange Bowl!If Louisville had gotten through WVU, and undefeated Rutgers, most people (not in the SEC) would have been okay with them in the National Championship game. However, it seems like Rutgers has a chance to get through Louisville and WVU. Following the logic, Rutgers should be as equally deserving to get to the big game, right?Don't be jackasses. I was born and raised on the SEC, and I would love to see Rutgers in it. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Don't be jackasses. I was born and raised on the SEC, and I would love to see Rutgers in it.That's great to hear, because it puts you on par with rational sports fan that enjoy moments like Rutgers 2006, George Mason 2005, and Villanova 1984 -- teams coming out of nowhere to accomplish great things. College football tends to proffer lots of entitlement; that there are certain legitimate conferences and other untouchable ones.I think Rutgers in a National Championship game could, in a weird way, give the BCS legitimacy. Bending over to irrational SEC fans wouldn't. Again, I'm happy to hear from an SEC fan that wouldn't mind seeing Rutgers get the NC nod over Florida, Auburn, or Arkansas. Based on what ESPN and SI.com tell me, you're in the vast, vast minority. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Agreed. Like I said before, if you go undefeated in a BCS conference, you should go to the NC. If Rutgers beats WV, I think they should go, and if they don't, the BCS is a sham. And I don't wanna hear anything about "Oh they didn't play anybody so they don't deserve it." MANY champions have played "nobodies" and yet, in the end, they were awarded the national championship. Prime example is the 1990 "National Champion" Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Screwed Colorado & Alabama in one fell swoop. Also, BYU won the 'ship in 82 I think, and they played in the HOLIDAY BOWL.As for the NC Situation in which it relates to the Michigan-Ohio St. Game, I sure hope a 1966 doesn't happen. I think in 1966, Notre Dame was #1 and Michigan St. was #2. The two teams tied, and Notre Dame won the national championship. But who went undefeated that year? Alabama. So yeah, if that happens again I'm calling With that being said, Georgia is giving #5 Auburn the business right now. 30-7 as we speak. So subtract Auburn from the numerous number of contenders.

TFoA Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 lol, Notre Dame's right back in the thick of it. Which means that, the way things are going now, the USC-Notre Dame game this year might be just as important as it was last year.Which hopefully means it will be fun as hell to watch.And I know I'm staying at the house next weekend when #1 v #2 play.

themightyspitz Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Arizona beats #8 Cal 24-20. What an upsetCal played really sloppy today. 10 of Arizona's points came off of Longshore interceptions. However, I can't believe Tedford didn't do anything to strengthen his defensive line and reinforce the pass protection. And also, those epic failure of referees hold a big chunk of responsibility; not calling that offensive pass interference in the endzone was rediculous. Fire all the Pac-10 refs, I say.
