Florida finished the season with 1 loss also, but Michigan's 1 loss was on the road to the wire to wire #1 team by 3 points. Didn't matter. There was no way they were going to send 2 teams from the same conference to the title game. Florida jumped Michigan and the rest is history.

Stanford could EASILY lose to Oregon or USC. Oklahoma will probably beat KState and OSU. If Clemson loses to GTech or South Carolina (both games on the road) then you WILL have the rematch with LSU and Bama. Oregon would still be up there and LSU destroyed them. Bama and LSU would be ahead of any other one loss team for sure. AND ahead of Boise. OU, Bama or LSU, Oregon, and a few others could be ahead of an udefeated Boise St. One of them gauranteed. Happens every time they go undefeated. No reason to think otherwise this year.

I hope they put OU in the Big12 north then. OMG, OU would RULE the north. Hell, they rule the north now.... just play in the South.

Thank you JUISSD, finally somebody who gets its!  If we ever meet up I'll gladly buy you a beer and a tank of gas! Maybe now the other brain cells on this thread will understand. |
MONEY and STABILITY. That's funny.
It was UNs move that made the INstability. And and I won't dispute the money. Money is more important than winning. Nebraska spent 13 or 14 out of 15 years in irrelevency. ...........NEBRASKA.............
They used top be an OU or UT. It was all laid out for them. OU, OSU, UT, don't seem to have a problem.
UN should have won the north almost every year. THEY chose to 'mail it in' and then decided they weren't getting paid enough. So they went where they could make more money. I got nothing againtst UN or anyone who supports them. But make no mistake, they have been underachieving for a decade and a half. And had they not done that they'd have been just fine where they were.
Where do your insider freinds claim the instability came from?
