HedleyLamarr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Totally agree, that's pretty much the reason it happens in NCAAF, and yeah it sucks.But I also feel that a marquee win can catapult a team in the the National Championship picture. That's why I hate penalizing team's for their conference schedule for football. They can't control who they play every year in their conference, and they can't get those marquee games on the schedule because power conference opponents are scared. Yet teams in the SEC are palying the Sun Belt conference in week 14 (in their controllable out of conference schedule).If you think you are great team, play a great team out of conference. It's a high risk - high reward game. You can lose and be out of the NCG picture, or you can win, further your championship status, and perhaps eliminate another NCG contender.Many coaches, athletics directors, and school Presidents believe.....and rightfully so....that playing in the national championship game depends more on luck than anything else. These same folks will also tell you that winning their conference is more important, as it's something they can control.Something else they can control is how to make money they don't share with their fellow conference mates. Buying a home game and generating revenue the entire weekend means more than putting yourself in national championship contention. Many towns where these big-time schools reside require that you pay for two nights' worth of hotel rooms/camping spots/etc. for Saturday games. The towns make a ton of money, and the schools make even more with tickets and all the in-stadium and on-campus purchases made. Paying some small team $500K-$1M pales when you're easily surpassing that number in money made, and your town benefits hugely as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Michigan just showed the greatest display of ineptitude I've ever seen. I knew they were overrated, but come on, they lost to us! Penn State is ranked #200 in the RPI, 30th in scoring, 336th in rebounds, and 333rd in FG percentage. That's how bad this team was this season. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

rams80 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well, Miami's perfect record against the ACC comes to an end at the hands of Wake Forest. 80-65 Deacons!Well that's why I said sweet 16 team. I'm not sure if I'm buying into this team as a National Title contender.Its likely they won't have a single player go in this year's NBA draft. What are they going to do when they play a team like Michigan who will probably have three players going in the first round? You can have all the intangibles in the world, but end of the day you still need talent and I'm not if Miami has enough of that to be taken as a serious threat to win it all.Win because Michigan's too young and falls asleep at the wheel too often?Like I was saying....

Its one game, I was using Michigan as an example and the post was more about Miami then Michigan.But I know you and it just further proves my point that your 100% critical of my posts and I think it would kill you to say that I actually say I made a good point. So I always consider the source whenever you have something to like that to say and this is probably the last time your going to get a response me on anything from here on out.

thespleenenator Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Arizona sucksThe Pac-12 is just really mediocre this year. We'll get about 5-6 teams in, but I don't think any of them will make it past the Sweet 16. In fact, the only team that has a chance to go that far is Arizona. The next best bet is the Ducks, and they're almost certainly out in the 3rd round if not DEFINITELY out in the Sweet 16. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

Last night they surrendered 89 to USC, a team who isn't good at all and the first time they played them gave up 50 and that number was arguably inflated. I can't believe this team beat Florida and killed Miami. In conference, AZ only has wins against 2 teams that have tourney hopes.(Colorado and that was lucky and ASU).

Turnovers and missed free throws are the only conceivable way to lose a game where you're up by six points with under a minute to play. But that is nothing new with the Gators, who pissed away going to the Final Four (and perhaps a championship in 2011) the past two years because they are fricken' terrible at closing out games. I'm already prepared to bitch about this again once it happens in this year's Tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
