caulfield12 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) One of Florida and Alabama will be eliminated, either next weekend or in the SEC Championship game. Which still leaves the big mess which is the B12 to sort out...the friction (along with the OU loses to OSU, TT loses to MO, TX goes to the title game without playing in B12 Championship) will happen with OU and Texas in all likelihood. If both those teams win out for the rest of the season and one's denied a place in the Championship Game, it will be the stuff of (temporary) legend for a long time in Austin or Stillwater. Oklahoma will also argue that while the Cotton Bowl is sort of neutral, it's still a game played in Texas. Then again, it's also possible that Alabama loses this weekend, then beats Florida for the SEC Championship...that's also quite possible. So then you might have USC going without winning the PAC 10.

Heads22 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Um, this crisis can be simply averted. As long as Bama loses, your National Championship is Utah vs. Ball State. Where's my money? On a side note, I wonder what kind of ratings that game would get if it was for all the marbles? Cause it'd be intriguing, that's for damn sure.

caulfield12 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 UT and OU have played far tougher schedules than the SEC teams by current polls. UT: beat no 3, lost no 7, beat no 11, beat no 12 OU: lost no 4, beat no 7, beat no 14, beat no 16 ALA: Beat no 13, beat no 25 FL: beat no 13, lost no 25 Strength of schedules not even close!

chimpy2121 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Psh, ACC sucks lol. Atlantic Boston College goes to the ACC Championship Game if they beat Maryland. or Florida State goes to the ACC Championship Game if Maryland beats Boston College. (Go Terps!) Coastal Virgina Tech goes to the ACC Championship Game if they beat Virginia. or Georgia Tech goes to the ACC Championship Game if Virginia beats Virginia Tech. Either way, crappy Orange Bowl ensues.

whitesoxbrian Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm going to be the biggest Oregon fan this weekend. If Oregon State wins, they'll be in the Rose Bowl, not USC. My predictions: Florida vs Texas- BCS title game Alabama vs Oklahoma- Fiesta Bowl Florida State vs USC- Sugar Bowl Oregon State vs Penn State- Rose Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) My hopes for the BCS: National Championship: Florida vs. Oklahoma This should be a great game. These are easily the top 2 teams in the nation, IMO. Both have very good D's with fantastic offenses. Fiesta Bowl: Texas vs. USC The rematch of the 2006 National Championship-Rose Bowl game. Should be another great game between the two programs. It'll be a whole lot better than seeing USC beat up on the Big Ten once again. Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Utah I think the Sugar Bowl would easily choose Utah over Cincinnati. Utah, while it will likely lose by a couple TD's, should be competitive and make it at least a half-way decent game to watch. Who knows, they might even get the upset over Alabama. Rose Bowl: Penn St. vs. Oregon St. The only reason why I think/want Oregon St. to win is so I don't have to see USC dominate the Big Ten again. Penn St. is a very solid team, but USC would more than likely steam roll them, and I really want to see a USC-Texas rematch. So, Penn St. will likely dominate this game vs. Oregon St., but maybe some thoughts of revenge will make this game interesting. Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech/Virginia Tech/Boston College/Florida St. vs. Cincinnati Well this sucks. Cincinnati isn't all that good, and neither are any of the ACC teams. The fact that none of the teams are that good should at least make it at least a close game. I would much prefer watch a game between Ball St. and Boise St., but that's possible.

ThunderBolt Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 That trick play for the TD by Uconn was pure perfection. It was also the most ballsy play i've ever seen them run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Alabama vs. Utah is a bad idea. Alabama would probably run for 250 to 300 yards on Utah, have the ball for 40 minutes, and win easily. Complete physical mismatch. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 23, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) Oklahoma will also argue that while the Cotton Bowl is sort of neutral, it's still a game played in Texas. That would be quite the misguided argument. They sell the tickets 50/50, and even the campuses are almost an identical distance away (Norman is 190 miles from Dallas, Austin is 197 miles). It's as neutral a site for a game as you'll find.

While I disagree that its as neutral as it gets, it isn't much of a Texas advantage and OU should have won that game anyways.. but after they demolish Ok St its not gonna matter much because they will go in front of Texas after this next week anyways.. Oklahoma's resume is much more impressive than Texas' when its all said an done despite losing to Texas. If they want to have the two best teams play for the National Title at the end of the year, if all continues to go as planned, it should be Florida vs. Oklahoma which would be an outstanding game to watch.

dasox24 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Florida is the best team in college football right now. Hands down. As much as I hate saying it b/c I hate Florida more than any other team in any sport, it's true. They are peaking at the right time. Sure, they could lose to Alabama in the SEC Championship game, just as any team can lose any given saturday. But, Florida is ridiculous right now.
