Drew22 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I like how Oklahoma is 3-3 and ranked, yet Georgia is 3-3 and didn't even get a vote. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Noteworthy games this week. #1 Bama vs. Tennessee#5 Cincinnati vs. LouisvilleMichigan vs. #13 Penn State#10 TCU vs. #16 BYU (Big Game towards an At Large bid in the BCS)also ESPN has given out the top 5 of the first BCS Rankings (All I can say is WTF)1. Florida (.989)2. Alabama (.959)3. Texas (.891)4. Boise State (.808)5. Cincinnati (.787)The rest of the Top 10 (and I added the points to see how teams "stack up" against each other)6. Iowa (.787)7. USC (.770)8. TCU (.714)9. LSU (.708)10.Miami (.627)The computers are not exactly big on USC (ranking them below Oregon and Georgia Tech and just ahead of Virginia Tech) at the moment, but they will jump both Iowa and Cincinatti if they continue to win, but that's it. It appears to me that if USC runs the table and Texas loses, the Trojans are playing the Bama/Tebow winner for the BCS Championship. If not, the Longhorns get their shot after being jacked last year.Boise State has a snowball's chance in hell of making it to the BCS Championship game. Sorry. It just ain't happening. Make all the stupid ass National Championship sigs y'all want, it won't matter.I want to see the Broncos take on the SEC runner-up in their BCS bowl game. That would be fantastic. Please keep winning, Broncos. Please! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.

RyanMcD29 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 South Florida was ranked this past week. As for Cincinnati, they should be in good shape with their record at this point. Louisville and Syracuse are their next two teams to face.Now, i'll obviously be rooting for the Orange to pull off the upset on Halloween, but if the Bearcats remain undefeated after that (more than likely), I'd love to see them run the table for the Big East to get a ton of attention and whatnotOh yeah I'm not arguing against Cincinnati, I'd love to see them run the table now that they're past USF but I was more arguing for Boise State. If there's a BCS team I want to see go all the way more than anyone else it's Cincy.Ohh I was just basing my argument on last weeks rankings rather than this weeks. Also I'm with you on Boise State as well getting some recognition Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Alright, it's time for me to throw down and show what the BCS picture looks like after the first poll came out today.With Florida and Alabama at #1 and #2 respectively, they're currently locked in for the BCS National Championship Game. Granted, this will change if not anytime soon, but after they possibly meet in the SEC Championship.So, with the SEC's autobid and an at-large taken, let's get the Auto-Bids out of the way:Big 12 - TexasBig East - CincinnatiBig Ten - IowaPac 10 - USCACC - Miami of FloridaWith Alabama taking an at-large spot, three at-large bids remain. Boise State earns the first one because they're currently the highest ranking Non-BCS school at the time (This also elminates TCU for now since only one Non-BCS school can be selected for inclusion). Oregon takes the second at-large bid because of it's ranking (LSU doesn't get a bid because the SEC already has two teams in the BCS). Then, you have Georgia Tech.Now, the games themselves...BCS National Championship Game: Florida (#1) vs. Alabama (#2)Rose Bowl: Iowa (Big Ten Champ) vs. USC (Pac 10 Champ)Sugar Bowl: Cincinnati (Big East Champ) vs. Georgia Tech (At-Large)Fiesta Bowl: Texas (Big 12 Champ) vs. Boise State (At-Large)Orange Bowl: Miami [FL) (ACC Champ) vs. Oregon (At-Large) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 More than one non-BCS school can go IIRC but they'd never take more than one because of the revenue difference from the BCS vs. non-BCS schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 More than one non-BCS school can go IIRC but they'd never take more than one because of the revenue difference from the BCS vs. non-BCS schoolsActually, that is somewhat true since, as per the rules of the BCS, TCU would then fall into the at-large catagory and, as of now, they would be eligible for an at-large bid. But, you have other teams that are right behind TCU that would be a better selection then the Horned Frogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If Boise State will get punished for their schedule then why won't Texas? Is Okie State going to be their best opponent of the season? Oregon > Oklahoma StatePoint that's trying to be made is that Boise State shouldn't get penalized when they have a win over a Top 12 team and can't schedule much better because they know if they schedule three top teams and they lose to one of them they won't sniff the Top 10. Also look for TCU to probably pass Boise.Rankings aren't based over one game's performance. If UGA beats Florida in two weeks, should UGA automatically vault to #1?As we currently stand, Boise State's schedule has only two teams with winning records: Oregon and Idaho. If Texas wins out, they will have played a much tougher schedule than Boise State, and will be a lot more deserving to play for a national championship than Boise. The cumulative of Texas's schedule will be a lot tougher than the cumulative of BSU's schedule.If Boise State wants to make an argument to play for a national championship, they are going to need to schedule tougher non-conference games. TCU and Fresno State have scheduled multiple tough non-conference games, and if TCU goes undefeated....they'll have a strong case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Oh yeah I know exactly what you mean I'm just making the point that Boise has the most impressive victory out of all of those teams. But yeah I'd give TCU a strong case after wins over:VirginiaClemsonColorado State (who beat Colorado who beat Kansas)Brigham YoungUtahThe point of the argument being that if Boise was even a football-only Mtn. West team or scheduled a better non-conference schedule, it wouldn't just be a dream for Boise to win it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 TCU would have to have everybody in front of them lose either again or for the first time for them to evevn have a small chance at making the 'ship.
