NCAA Football 2011

[ophidiophobia]

Oklahoma State is looking really good today. The offense is rolling and the D has 3 and outs on 3 of first 4 possessions.

[Ruckus]

Seriously!?  Wis/MSU!  What an ending!  Sadly with OU and the Badgers going down, we just may work our way down to another relatively uncontroversial BCS final.

Right?  I hope not man.  I don't think that'll happen if OSU wins out.  It could if they don't and only Stanford and Boise make it

i was dissappointed by this, too....it also makes our game against them this week not as exciting..(but none of our games are that exciting anyway)

If OSU loses and it comes down to Stanford vs anyone else, I bet Stanford is in it because the computers will give them a +.274 bonus for having Andrew Luck

tOSU will have some new hats for the game this weekend

Im not big on most of these uniform changes, but I did like the ones MSU had for the Michigan game the other week despite them not being their school colors really.

[Tracy 2112]

the newest mantra of the pro BCS crowd is to say "Let the playoffs begin". I heard it a couple of times over the weekend and it makes me want to vomit. something like this:

The college football playofffs begin for Kansas State next weekend when they play Oklahoma and Oklahoma St. back-to-back

or

LSU and Alabama begin the college playoff season when they square off on November 5th.

You really think KSU is going to the BCS Title game if Stanford and Bama are undefeated? Even the bullshit "playoff" speak is bullshit b/c if you win all your "playoff" games, you still won't win the title.

Vomit

shit

piss

crap


It's insulting to the fans to suggest the regular season is "the playoffs". It's mind boggling. I mean, what do you call the "playoffs" in all the other sports if the "playoffs" in college football = regular season games?

Agree completely with this, and I'm an OSU (Oklahoma State, sorry, rest of the country) fan. It takes about four years of poll climbing to get to the BSC championship nowadays, and that's for teams in the major conferences—teams like Boise State are automatically eliminated as long as they remain where they are. OSU was where KSU is now a few years ago, and would have been left out of the title game if they had gone undefeated, much like Auburn, Oregon and others have in the past.

If KSU win this week and next (don't actually think this will happen) then they most likely will be ranked #2, behind the winner of LSU & Alabama when the BCS rankings come out on November 6th. Then they still have Texas and Texas A&M too. The Big 12 is stacked this year; I really think that we have more overall dept than the SEC.

Big 12 is better this year.  SEC is vastly overrated.  Outside of Bammer and LSU there really isn't another solid Top 10 team IMO (Lattimore eliminates USCjr)

Uh oh, SEC-comparison-Tracy-baiting...

Agreed.  LSU and 'Bama are in a class by themselves in the SEC this year.  UGA is looking like they are going to win the SEC LEast only to get the misfortune of getting hammered by the winner of the LSU/'Bama game in the SEC Championship game.

But with that said, I think the overall weakness of the SEC this year should end the speculation that there could be an LSU/'Bama rematch in the BCS title game if there is an undefeated team out there still standing like a Big 12 team or a Stanford or a Boise...

[Ruckus]

Uh oh, SEC-comparison-Tracy-baiting...

He's crunching numbers as I type.

Seriously, here is the solution and it would work and it would be fun every year.

120 Div I teams.  Each year, a computer randomly creates 10 12 team conferences where each team only plays their conference teams once each.  That's it.  Each conference champ makes the 16 team, randomly seeded playoff.  The other 6 teams are voted on by the fans and can only be chosen from the pool of 2nd place in their conference teams.  Any conference tie will be settled by mascot jousting at the 50 yard line.  Single eliminatin 16 team playoff commences.  Shuffle the deck and redeal next year.  Red River Shootout, Iron Bowl, Mich/OSU etc. Can be held as exhibitions on their own time.

Let's do this!

Yep.  I can totally see changing Michigan/OSU from The Game to The Exhibition...  ;D

Also, this wasn't necessarily a crack on the SEC, they have been the best for a while now and deserve the distinction of best conference year in year out, no questions asked, even in a down year.  This year however, I just don't feel that the depth is there as in other seasons.  I felt like USCjr had a very strong team at the beginning of the year but losing Lattimore all but took them out of contention (even though they are currently first in the east).    The Big 12 is fielding a good amount of very competitive teams this year and I feel like as a whole, they are the strongest from top to bottom.  Even though whoever wins the SEC title game ultimately stomps the BIG 12 representative into another world because Bammer and LSU are truly on another level.

I like this idea, except for the mascot jousting which would never happen unless it was referreed by Lee Corso

Soooooooo Arkansas beat Texas AM in the only SEC / Big 12 match up. You got another theory?

Renaissance Fairs...the new fertile recruiting grounds.  If we were to remove ourselves from what we have known college football to be, this would work.  It would be so much fun every year.

Michigan and OSU can play their "exhibition" before the season and the voters could take the result into account if one of them finish 2nd in their respective conferences. ;D
