A good morning to reflect on college football

[Masherbrum]

They had no answer???   Who won???   What were you smoking when watching the game.  Oh and I might add the prestige of the SEC has fallen somewhat and many College experts agree that now the BIG is the best conference.  How many SEC in the top 6?   Top 15?

As I always said things swing in cycles.  No one conference will dominate all the time.  Over time everyone gets a shot.  OSU lost to Michigan State, Ala. lost to Ole Miss.

Where's Ole Miss in the rankings?  The discussion can never be settled or won.  Just enjoy College football for what it is.  Better then the NFL imho.

Rankings are bogus at times, which is why I rarely take too much stock into them.   Need proof?   The winner of the Big Ten Championship tonight goes onto the playoff.   The loser and Conference runner up, will most likely not play in the Rose Bowl.   Which is horse hockey, as OSU will get that nod.   

Also, don't even get me started on 2 loss teams being ranked ahead of 1 loss teams.   Depending on some terms.  Lord knows liars will mince words and confuse Conference with National.

Also, don't even get me started on 2 loss teams being ranked ahead of 1 loss teams.

You would rank Houston ahead of Stanford, Notre Dame, Florida State, TCU, Baylor, Ole Miss, Oregon, and Oklahoma State?

Last week (week 13), you would have ranked Toledo ahead of Stanford, Florida State, Oregon, Ole Miss, and TCU?

If schedule didn't matter, then it would be best to make your hardest opponent Cream Puff State, stay at #1 (since you would lose no games), then go play in the national championship.

it is just wrong that a team loosing its conference title game will get punished.  the title game should be considered post season play.  ohio state jumping Iowa or MSU would be a travesty. yet, by rule the rose bowl could take Indiana if it wanted but will most likely take the higher ranked team.  rankings must go on i guess, MSU beating ohio state does not let a 11-2 trump a 11-1  , and Iowa losing to MSU who beat osu does not allow 12-1 to trump 11-1  ?

[Brooke]

That one is a conundrum.

I think the best way out is MSU, Ohio State, and Iowa in the college playoffs.

Meanwhile, in Waco...

[Masherbrum]

Baylor = Overrated.

[Brooke]

North Carolina was robbed on that offside kick.

[Brooke]

Iowa got incredibly unlucky on a couple of plays and still played MSU super tough.  They might stay ranked ahead of Ohio State and go to the Rose Bowl.

It's decided - Bama will meet Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl.  May the best team win!

A good morning to reflect on college football

I didn't play football in college.

I didn't play football in college.

good thing! most kids think they are still young but in reality they are 200-300 lbs monsters and people get hurt.  its best to play two hand touch; but somebody always gets laid out. 

as far as school sponsored games with helmets and pads...my college professor said, think of the hardest hit you had in high school and that is every hit in college.

pick your bowls here for a million dollars!

I say im happy.  Michigan gets to play Florida, the two comeback kids. MSU gets Alabama and I get a shot at $100 (RTR!).  Iowa in the Rose bowl. and two turds in a frog bowl (I dont know the one I want to lose more, maybe they tie and nobody wins.)

oh and

GO BLUE!

My brother is a huge Flordia fan, he started rooting for the Gators when Spurrier was there, so alot of the Saturday football get togethers I go to involve Florida guys, and even though Michigan beat that Meyer/Tebow team the same year as 'The Horror' they have always been atleast part time Michigan supporters.


Also, How about Georgia State? A team that didnt exist 6 years ago beats a team that racked up 613 rushing yards  against them last year to the tune of 34-7.
