Boise St. WILL NOT finish number 2. Mark my words, and I'm not even going out on a limb, Boise will finish behind a one loss team.

So to your point, I'd be fine this year if it turns out Bama and LSU in that game. Hell, Oklahoma had to play a NON RANKED team last year in a BCS GAME.

The BCS is FAR superior to anything college football ever had but it's still stupid. But such is college football.

More controversy will be needed to change it. So I'm all for Bama and LSU in that game.
Who's to say that those 2 are vastly superior to OSU, or Stanford, or any of the other top teams this year? They haven't played them yet. They do look great but so do some other teams. You can't say definitively one way or the other.

The SEC as a whole is crap. BSU might not deserve a shot but they'd wreck the entire SEC East division. In the West Miss and MSU are garbage, Auburn is down, and Arkansas is overrated.

Again there's no way I take the loser of next week's game over a 1 loss Stanford, OU, OSU, or even Wisconsin.

Yeah most deff. When I seen that QB run right up the middle, I thought to myself oh hell here we go again!!

They seemed like they always do balls to wall the second half. I dont know why when there so full of energy the first half they cannot concentrate and stop people it looks like a electric football game and everyone is just running in circles!

A win is a win though we will take it and how ironic the OSU score was almost exactly the same and would have been the same if our kicker would quit thinking about soccer balls.

BOOMER!!

Should be good for you next week. The Sooners explode in the 2nd half and the Aggies implode in the second half.

I thought this was at least going to be a good game 2 months ago. Not feeling so hot about it right now.

BTW, did you guys see/hear about the Texas Tech Game? How do you come off a dramatic upset of OU in Norman and follow it up with getting rolled by Iowa State in Lubbock?

For those of you familiar with the "fans" at TTU, check this out...

The Red Raiders had an announced crowd of 59,260 Saturday night. That's the largest crowd of the season for Texas Tech, and the largest crowd to see a Texas Tech-Iowa State game in Lubbock or Ames. With 11 minutes left, Texas Tech trailed 38-7 and the crowd had been reduced to less than 5,000.

Of course I'm largely just using what I see in the various games and, like everyone else, I judge it for myself as best as I can. Thing about it is those two teams just dont give up points. All the other teams at the top give up WAY more points.

Sure there's no way to be difinative but I'm just calling it the way I see it in my opinion.

I won't argue the point because it's all subjective. Just my opinion.

OU might get back in this thing though.

Stoops, of all people, should know they can get back in that game.

No offense, but I sure hope so.

Is there no defense..... or is there just so much talent out there now days that the teams are leveling out?

Seems to me that any team can lose on any given day!

Problem is that wether or not there's a ton of offensiv etalent or not, the fact remains that LSU and Bama don't give it up.

I hope I"m wrong. If OU wins out they just have to hope Stanford loses.

After last week, I didn't think there was anything the Badgers could do to make me hang my head any lower. I was wrong.

The combined offensive point average of the teams Bama has played is 26.3 points per game.

Bama has held those teams to 6.9 points per game.

Oh it's all subjective opinion when it comes to Division I college football! I wish there was a playoff to settle things but it is what it is, for now. The only thing good about the poll system is the friendly debate that comes with it.

Some more contenders drop back today. I bet OU is kicking themselves for not preparing well enough for TTU. They were shown to be a fluke today.

It was also a good day for Michigan. 3 way tie. Go Blue!
