Title: College Football Weekly 2004 Post by thebeast on Sep 11th, 2004, 10:29pm Who is gonna go to the Orange Bowl and play for the national championship? Will it be USC?

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Sep 12th, 2004, 10:45pm FSU loses to Miami so not in top 10 any more. That was a lousy game to watch till the last quarter. I guess all the hurricanes in florida are having thier effects. I cant stand Miami and i wanted FSU to win. Other top 10 team that lost was Michaigan. They took Notre Dame to lightly and the irish pulled out a victory. Notre Dame is another team I cant stand. They are only team in nation with just 1 more natianal championship than Oklahoma. Notre Dame has 8 and Oklahoma has 7. All Oklahoma has to do is not lose this year and they will have a shot at number 8. New to the top 10 are the Florida Gators and California. Florida is in a tough conference I bet they will lose soon. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Sep 27th, 2004, 11:26am RANK TEAM RECORD PTS PVS 1. USC (45) 4-0 1,508 1 Last game: Def.

West Virginia 4-0 1,055 7 Last game: Def. James Madison 45-10 (Sep. 25) This week: at Virginia Tech (2-2) 8. Tennessee 3-0 1,005 8 Last game: Def. Louisiana Tech 42-17 (Sep. 25) This week: vs. No. 9 Auburn (4-0) 9. Auburn 4-0 972 10 Last game: Def. The Citadel 33-3 (Sep. 25) This week: at No. 8 Tennessee (3-0) 10. California 2-0 944 9 Last game: Def. New Mexico State 41-14 (Sep. 11) This week: at Oregon State (1-3) LSU loses last week to Auburn in a controversal inicidnet that happened in the closing seconds of the game. LSU drops out of top 10 Auburn moves from 19 to 9. Also Tennesse(#13) beats Florida(#9) in a close game aslo. So Tennesee moves to 8 and Florida drops out of top 10. Everyone ranked below 4 down moves up one except for California and they hold at #10. Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Bulldogs did not play this weekend. This coming weekend Oklahoma(big 12) plays Texas Tech Red Raiders(big 12) and Georgia(SEC) Bulldogs play LSU(SEC) tigers(former #4 now #13) and Tennessee#8 play Auburn(#9). All are important confernce games and they will be good games to watch. I think the sooners will beat Texas Tech easily since they are playing at Oklahoma. Texas Tech has had to come back in the last few minutes to beat teams in easier conferences and they have no defense. They can pass the ball on offense but Oklahoma has a great defense with an outstanding secondary. The games of the weekend are Georgia vs LSU and Tennesse vs Auburn. If LSU beats Georgia it will probably bring LSU back into top 10 and Georgia will fall. I pick Georgia to win. Georgia is a good solid team and they looked very good the first 3 games. The Tennesee/Auburn game is anyones call. This will be the very best game to watch because both are good teams. It will be tough for Auburn to come into Tennessee and win. I will pick Auburn because I like thier running back named Carnell(Cadilac)Williams. The SEC is a hard conference with over 75% of the teams who will give anyone in their conference a tough game. I think the big 12 is the next hardest conference but Im sure there are those who disagree. Anyway thats it for now. GO SOONERS! |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Oct 3rd, 2004, 10:06pm 1. USC (46) 4-0 1,507 1 Last game: Def. Stanford 31-28 (Sep. 25) This week: vs. No. 10 California (3-0) 2.

California 3-0 1,116 10 Last game: Def. Oregon State 49-7 (Oct. 2) This week: at No. 1 USC (4-0) 8. Florida State 3-1 1,049 11 Last game: Def. North Carolina 38-16 (Oct. 2) This week: at Syracuse (3-2) 9. Virginia 4-0 966 12 Last game: Def. Syracuse 31-10 (Sep. 25) This week: vs. Clemson (1-3) 10. Purdue 4-0 952 15 Last game: Def. Notre Dame 41-16 (Oct. 2) This week: at Penn State (2-3) Wow what a week. My Oklahoma Sooners beat Texas Tech Red Raiders very easy. Tex Tech got a lot of yards passing just like I knew they would but they also threw some costly interceptions and they could not score in the red zone. The sooner defense will let you get your first downs till you get down to score, but then they get stingy and refuse to give up a touchdown. Up next for Oklahoma is the game of the year. The Red River Shootout here in Dallas against the Texas Longhorns. This is gonna be a good game. No 2 Oklahoma and the no 5 Texas will be the game of the weekend. This is a strange game. No team has a home field advantage. Dallas is the location and the State Fair of Texas is the event. Sooners have bragging rights because they have beaten texas the past 4 years. Go sooners. The Georgia Bulldogs beat the LSU tigers very easy. Georgia will stay at no 3 and LSU will drop again. Thats LSU's 2nd loss. It will be hard for them to stay in the top 20 due to the 2nd loss being a smoking by Georgia. The Auburn Tigers beat Tennesse Volunteers very easily. Tennessse was over ranked in my opinion but Auburn is good. Auburn moves up to #6 in the nation and Tennesse will drop out of top 10. The other top 10 teams that lost was Virgina and Virginia Tech beat them. And Ohio State was finally beaten by a tough Northwesteren University team. Ohio State was just barely winning each game played. I knew they would lose sooner or latter. Southern California the nations #1 team will play #7 California University this comimg weekend. This game will have ranking ramifications as the OU/Texas game. Im not sure if I want USC to lose. If the sooners win and USC loses the sooners will more than likely be the #1 team in the nation. When you are number 1 everyone plays their hardest against you. And if you are not playing your best game you can get beat. That was Oklahomas problem last year. They held on to the number 1 ranking all year till the last 2 games and got beat. Being number 1 is very stressful and takes a lot of out of you. So I will say I dont care about that game as long as the Sooners win and stay at number 2 its cool. So basically FSU Seminoles get back into top 10 at number 8. Virgina who was in the top 15 last week moves into the #9 slot and Purdue University Boilermakers cream Notre Dame and move into the #10 slot. Everyone else who didnt lose this weekend moves up one or remains the same. Im excited about the OU/Texas game this weekend. I wish the weekend was already here. lol |

What a college football Saturday. My Oklahoma Sooners did me proud. They shut out the Texas Longhorns 12 to 0. I was there at the Cotton Bowl at the State Fair of Texas in the rain and witnessed history. First time Texas has been shut out since 1980. The Sooners look damn good. Both Texas and Oklahoma have great defenses but Oklahoma's defense is better. Texas offense was stagnant. The defense of Oklahoma refused to let them score any points. Every time Texas got into scoring position, Oklahoma would push them back out of field goal range. A new star came out Saturday. A freshman running back from Palestine, Texas. His name is Adrian Peterson. And the kid can run the football. He is fast and strong. He will run over you if you are in the way. Peterson got 225 yards on 32 carries. It is exciting to watch him run. Every time he gets the ball you feel like he is gonna get a big gain. Peterson was asked after the game why he didnt go to the University of Texas. He answered, "Well I wanted to go to Texas University and they recruited me, but I wanted to win a national championship, so I decided the University of Oklahoma would give me a better chance to do that." Not only is this kid a good running back but he is smart also. Yes my friends the sooners have beaten the longhorns for the 5th straight year. Bob Stoops and the rest of the sooner coaching staff did a great job of coaching. Great play calling and strategy. 12 to zip is not a blow out but the sooners had total control of the game. This has to rank high on the best games I have ever seen in person before. The sooner victory back in 1986 in Nebraska when there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground is still the best. USC squeeked out a victory over California. They still number one and sooners holding at number 2 Tennesee upset number 3 Georgia. This was pretty surprising. Last week Auburn really beat the crap out of Tennessee. This game had standing ramifications. So USC and Oklahoma are still number 1 and 2. Georgia drops to #8 and Miami moves to #3. Auburn moves to #4. Texas drops out of top 10 to #11. They will be back in top 10 soon. Texas is good they should be in the top 5 teams in the nation. They just cant beat my sooners. Purdue moves in to the slot vacated by texas at #5. The rest is right there above on the chart. Oh yes heinz ketchup, I think your golden gophers have the same problem the longhorns have. Maybe time for a new coach with a different kind of strategy. It was a close game, but Minnesota cames out on the short end. |

North Carolina 46-16 (Oct. 16) This week: vs. UNLV (2-5) Only one upset in the top 10 this week the #5 Purdue Boilermakers were beaten by Wisconsin. Purdue drops out of top 10. This getting difficult to keep track of. There is also some confusion. The BCS (Bowl Championship Series) rankings are out now. The BCS rankings are not the same as this ranking system. The BCS rankings got my Oklahoma Sooners as number 3 and Miami at number 2. I cant figure this out. Since Miami was almost beaten by Luisville last Thursday. Hell Luisville isnt even a BCS contender team. They play in Conference USA. I dont know. The sooners are ranked 2 in all the other polls. I thought they were supposed to put more value on the other polls instead of the damn computers. Any way my sooners still won at Kansas State this past weekend. Kansas State always plays OU tuff. I dont care if they are not ranked in top 20 they are still a good team. Next up for OU is Kansas. After Kansas some tuff games come up for the sooners. This BCS thing will play itself out and my sooners will be back on top. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Oct 20th, 2004, 10:52am I agree that the BCS system sucks scottman, but I dont think a playoff system would work either. To many college teams. Even if you take the top 10 teams in the country and have a playoff, there would be complaints and problems. I still like the bowl system we have in place. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by scottman on Oct 20th, 2004, 11:50am I disagree with you that a playoff would not work. Take the scenario where the top 16 teams make it (you have to win your divison to be in the top 8) and you spread the bowl games over 4 weeks. (which is bacially already done, they start in early Dec and end in Jan. I agree you will have some controversy in week one over who didn't get in, but, just like during march madness, by the time you get down to the final two games, the contreversy is over and you have 2 teams that deserve to play for #1 having one 3 previous games. Week 1 is 1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15 done to 8 vs. 8. that gets us down to 8 teams for week 2; 4 teams for week 3 (maybe played on Chrstmas bowl games) then 1 team left for the champion ship bowl game played on new years. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Nov 22nd, 2004, 5:52am Well the college football season is almost over. I went to the Oklahoma State, Nebraska, and Texas A&M games the previous 3 weeks. The OSU and Texas A&M games were close games, but my sooners pulled out victorious. People dont realize how difficult it is to play these 2 teams when they have home field advantage. Plus the fact that these are top 20 teams to boot. Anyway the sooners whipped Baylor this weekend. I didnt get to go to that one. The sooners will play Iowa State for the big 12 champ. If Iowa beats Missouri next week. If not their are all kinds of scenerios. Auburn will play Tennesee for the Sec champ. Auburn had a tuff game with rival Alabama this weekend and Auburn won. USC is still number one in the country. University of California has one more game against the irish of Notre Dame. If USC wins it will more than likely be USC and Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl for the national championship. If USC loses it will more than likely be Oklahoma and Auburn in the Orange bowl. If Oklahoma loses lol Oklahoma isnt gonna lose to Iowa State lol. The northern confernce of the Big 12 hasnt had a very good season. What if Auburn and USC lose. Then OU moves to number one and #4 California moves to #2 and OU and California University play in the Orange Bowl for the National Championship. All kinds of possibilties thats y its important not to lose at the end of the year. What will more than likely happen is USC, Oklahoma and Auburn and even Utah(who hasnt played anybody really) will all end up undefeated for the year and it will still be Oklahoma and USC in the Orange Bowl and Auburn and Utah will complain about it. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Nov 28th, 2004, 6:43am Scottman I dont think there will ever be a playoff in NCAA div 1 football. I even dont think a playoff necessarily means the best teams will play for the national championship. Unlike the pro football game college football is more evenly matched. Lots of good teams, who arent even ranked can beat ranked teams. Especially when they play at home. What I do think would be fair is not to rank the teams at the first of the year. Number 1 at the begining of the season is almost always the team who won the national championship the year b4. I say wait till half the season is over then rank them. The problem with the coaches ranking teams is they dont take into consideration anything else but the win loss record. If a team was number 1 or 2 or 3 the week b4 if they didnt lose they will still have the same teams ranked 1, 2 and 3. I also dont think the amount of points you beat a team should be any factor whatsoever. If this was taken into consideration there would be a lot of running up the score. Running up the scores on teams who are not as loaded players as the big schools would be a lack of respect for the game. As long as my sooners are in the hunt every year thats all that really is important to me. ;D |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by thebeast on Nov 28th, 2004, 6:53am Iowa State loses to Missouri.

I would lot rather play Iowa State than Colorado, but the sooners should still win. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly Post by scottman on Dec 6th, 2004, 3:13am and what a game it was -- the huge underdogs of UCLA gave the #1 team, USC, a run for their money!

Title: Re: College Football Weekly 2004 Post by thebeast on Dec 12th, 2004, 6:55am The BCS system works for #1 and #2. Most people agree the top 2 teams in the nation are playing for the national title. Auburn and Utah are undefeated but the polls say they are not a #1 or #2 team. Where the BCS fails(at least this year is the other BCS bowls. I think #3 Auburn and #4 Texas should play in the sugar bowl. #5 California should play #6 Utah in the Rose Bowl. #7 Georgia should play #8 Virginia Tech in the Fiesta Bowl. I mean they take the trouble to rank them, why not match them up accordingly. They would probably be better games. I like the way my sooners are playing this year. There will be no confusion if USC loses because #2 sooners will be the undoubted national champs. Auburn cant finish any higher than #2 with a win. California did get screwed but the fact of the matter is the Pac 10 is a weak conference and they didnt have as many quality wins over ranked opponents as Texas did. The big 12 conference this year was wierd the north was not very good but the south had OU, OSU, Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech in it. All these teams in the south of the Big 12 are good teams and at one time or another were in the top 25 teams in the country. The SEC was more evenly matched but not as many teams were in the top 25 for the year. The Atlantic Coast is a good conference which the University of Miami program found out this year. Last year Miami was in the Big East, which I have always called the Big Easy because Miami almost always won it when they were in it. Now Miami is an a harder conference and they lose 3 games. These teams with 2 or more loses shouldnt be playing in the BCS games just because they won their conferences. I mean Pitt lost 3 games this year in the Big East. Why are they even playing in the Fiesta bowl? Michigan lost 2 games. Why are they playing in the Rose Bowl? The schools that win should be the ones that are rewarded to play in the BCS games. |

How about an and1 game to determine the national title we are nto even going to get a share of it like USC last year:( If only bowling green would not have gotten out of their contract with us lol maybe he computers would have loved us a little more.

Title: Re: College Football Weekly 2004 Post by need4speed8dalejr on Dec 16th, 2004, 9:34am Joel, An excellent post! I think you covered it all there dude, and you expressed every fans frustration. If the BCS system is supposed to be a "Better" system, a system that levels the playing field and takes Regional biases out of the ranking, then why don't the #3 team play the #4 team...and so on up the chain like you posted about? I'll tell you why. One word....."Television"!!! The networks buy the rights to the Bowl Games, and all that money that goes to the NCAA sure speaks Loud N Clear when they want to get specific teams into their games on Prime-Time Network Television. Those Fat-Cats who control the NCAA don't give a Rats Ass about anything but how much CASH they can shove down their pants to hide the fact that they don't have a Shlong or under their hats to hide the fact that they don't have a Brain either. If you think about it.....it's really a Sad Thing indeed. |

Orange Bowl #1 USC 55 #2 Oklahoma 19 Sugar Bowl #3 Auburn 16 #9 Virgina Tech 13 So, it looks like there is a CLEAR cut #1 this year. USC! They got the job done in the Orange Bowl by kicking Oklahoma's Azz! I thought they would win, but not with that kind of score. I thought the score was going to be closer. I also think that #3 Auburn missed a HUGE opening when they didn't crush Virginia Tech. If Auburn had put up 44 points insted of 16, I think they would have a case for being #1, or at least having a share of the #1 Title, but hey, that's just my two cents. |

Title: Re: College Football Weekly 2004 Post by thebeast on Jan 9th, 2005, 8:31pm I dont know what happened to my sooners. They are a lot better than that. On the sooners first drive they drove the ball the whole length of the field and scored a touchdown. Then after that nothing. Hell I was so pissed, I didnt even watch the 2nd half. This makes the sooners look bad. It makes it look like they didnt belong there. I know they did. They just didnt play worth a rats ass. |
