pianoknight Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 UCLA also beat Nebraska in a shootout. I'm not naive (or homerish) enough to assume that Nebraska's a Top 5 team right now, but Nebraska is currently #10 nationally in Scoring Offense and #13 in Total Offense. We lead the Big Ten in both categories, I believe.For UCLA to win against that type of production says that the Bruins are very good, or Nebraska had an off-day. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Kevin W. Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 UCLA has played 5 games against decent opponents while Cincy has had three games against what's being proven to be two sub-par teams in Pitt and VT. Why on Earth should they be ranked ahead of UCLA?Big East homerism inevitably comes along with Louisville homerism. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on Earth should they be ranked ahead of UCLA?Because he thinks the Big East is better than the SEC.I was only saying that the Big East is better than the ACC. The SEC is still way better than the BE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theSLVRBCK Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 The DVR will be working overtime for me this weekend. Two top-10 showdowns in SEC land and I won't be home to watch either one of them. I was really trying to keep my hopes at a reasonable level for Florida, but with the way Driskel has been playing and how bad LSU has been looking .. I can officially say I realllllly hope Florida can win that game.As for UGA-SC ... I have no freakin' clue what to expect in that game to be honest. Brain says UGA .... heart says SC.

Seadragon76 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 23rd ranked Washington heads into Autzen to face Oregon... I really want Washington to win, because it would mean that this could be a rivalry again (it's not a rivalry if you constantly get your ass kicked).Plus, someone has to pop the giant ego balloon that Oregon fans have. They're good, but some of the fans kinda give them a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck fans want to be taken seriously and "sit at the big boy table," but outside of the last 10 years they haven't accomplished that much.You're both right.... although, I'd argue they haven't even accomplished that much IN the last 10 years. They've had countless chances to prove themselves against elite programs (Ohio State, Boise twice, USC, LSU, Auburn) and they've choked repeatedly.The Duck fans on here are cool, but I've found that a large percentage of that fanbase outside of this site is made up of wannabe Bammers except without the titles to back it up. Arrogant and classless. Needless to say, I'll be rooting for Washington, USC, and Oregon State to knock them down several pegs.

dfwabel Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Boise State is not elite. WVU has two BCS win also, yet they are not elite.You can think it, but they are not. Now you may have fostered "Raysfan12" to tell us that Louisville is elite too as a result of one BCS bowl win and a bowl win over your Boise State team.
