dfwabel Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You have Boise St. and Florida as the only unbeaten teams and do not have Boise St in the BCS title game? Therefore:1-Where does Texas slip up and how can they get back into contention? 2-Last year, Utah was not even ranked pre-season and #22 after week 1. Boise did not even enter into the Coaches Poll until week 4. With the Congressional investigation from last year, don't you think that voters will give non--BCS schools a greater benefit?

BCS matchups at least, as those are determined from the title game and conference affiliation(s). A USC/Ohio St. Rose Bowl presented by Citi would not have been a stretch, but I can see how not naming the participants in the GMAC Bowl makes the site look worse when compared to SI.com's Stewart Mandel, ESPN's Pat Forde, or CBSsportsline who at least do that.

HedleyLamarr Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I can't take it seriously when he spells "Independants" (sic) wrong...Many of the conference records don't add up, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh31584 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I noticed that your prediction is possibility-impaired. For example:Oklahoma State is shown as going 4-0 out of conference, so you have them beating Georgia...who is predicted to be 3-1 out of conference, which means that they are predicted to beat Georgia Tech...who is also shown as 3-1 OOC, which means that they would beat Mississippi State...who you predict to be undefeated OOC.There may well be other issues like this, but this was the first one I noticed.

Do we need to lock as opposed to keep up the embarrassment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Who is to say this is an exact scienceAt the end of the year judge me by how many teams are correct www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thouhgt that "predicted by you" were not conference titles, but just records of 8 win to 6 win teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm referring to Tnak's predicted records for each team.10 may be a little high. Hell, Tnak can't even agree with himself on how Rutgers will do this year. On his official predictions, he has Rutgers going 10-2, but in the "Favorite Teams Predicted Record" thread, he has Rutgers going 11-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, we can still have a wager or at least I will lose and send you a t-shirt. Just tell me what size around Xmas and we will exchange PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
