rams80 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 P.S., if Illinois beats Northwestern this week, a not-all-that-far-fetched-scenario exists in which the Illini would become BCS Bowl-eligible, one year after going 2-10.Personally, I'd find a possible Illinois-Florida matchup in either the Capital One Bowl or the Outback Bowl more intriguing.Although I am curious about something, assuming Illinois hadn't blown it against Iowa.Hey willmorris...if OSU were to beat Michigan this week, and Illinois hadn't lost to Iowa, how would the Big Ten have sorted out the "Circle of Death" with those 3 teams for the autobid? Is the longest drought tiebreaker still in effect? On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

TFoA Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 The blogosphere's buzzing that Lloyd Carr is announcing his retirement after the OSU game.No report on whether or not Les Miles put his Baton Rouge house on the market.The way he's been coaching at LSU, he's just waiting for one of his gambles to go awry so the Tiger fans can start shooing him out of the door. I truly believe that if the UM job opens up, he's taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 The blogosphere's buzzing that Lloyd Carr is announcing his retirement after the OSU game.Yeah, I think he's done either way. There's no recovering from that loss to Appalachian State. I figured as soon as they lost to Wisconsin that Michigan fans would be loudly calling for his head again. If he loses to Ohio State again this Saturday his biggest concern won't be whether or not to retire, it will be getting out of the Big House alive. GO BUCKS!

Is the longest drought tiebreaker still in effect?Are we assuming that'd they would all be tied at 7-1 (that Wisconsin had not beaten Michigan)?If that had been the case, H2H proves nothing, as does the number of 1-AA teams you played. Overall record gives it to Ohio State though (which means that had Illinois not played Western Illinois, they'd win this three way tie.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Over on espn.com, both Ivan Maisel and Mark Schlabach are projecting Illinois v. Florida in the Capital One Bowl, which even if you're not a fan of either program presents a pretty intriguing matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well, the SEC has "Crooming", and I guess the Pac 10 may have "Stoopsing"Arizona leads #2 Oregon 17-11 in the 2nd Quarter....BUT Dennis Dixon is out with a knee injury.24-11 now. Still second quarter. Some Big XII teams are licking their chops/planning on taking care of business methinks.

FiddySicks Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Anyone else get the feeling that even with all the drama and parody in college football this year were still gonna see some lame ass boring matchup in the BCS title game between two teams that wouldv'e been there on a normal year anyway? Damn, i'd love to see something like a Kansas vs West Virginia/Arizona State matchup, but I have this sinking feeling its still gonna be something along the lines of an Oklahoma vs LSU/Ohio State championship.
