On behalf of all the little schools out there who just want a chance, Roll Tide!
Don't let the bastards get you down. Even the burnt orange ones.
I’m going for Alabama. I never really liked Chizik all that much so it easy to root for the Tide in this one.

Never thought I'd ever root for the Tide
But was kinda hoping to see Auburn’s defense exposed (again)
How does our OC watch tape of Iowa State getting blown out by OU 52-0 and then come up with a gameplan which scores only 6 points through 3 quarters?!?
I'm passive aggressively getting vengence today
BBQing leg of lamb for supper tonight. Some Aggie, somewhere, is sad. Thanks to me, a potential mate is off the market.

Alabama's defense is what I thought Muschamp's defense was going to look like this year.

I sure hope you're right.
But I have my doubts. Muschamp has had one really good year, and he seems to get a pass on the clusterfuck he threw out there this year. Just like Major gets a pass, seemingly because he’s likable.
I said before the season that I thought Muschamp had something to prove, and in my estimation he failed miserably.

It's really a personal preference thing.
I think everyone on the field should take the Emmit Smith approach. Score (or make a great play) then just walk to the official, hand them the ball, and go on about your business. No showboating.

That doesn't make it a penalty.
There is literally zero justification for that call. It wouldn’t be made 99.999% of the time.
There is a huge difference between taunting a player and a college kid celebrating a great play. The NCAA can’t figure out the difference.

by dimecoverage on Nov 26, 2010 2:15 PM CST up reply actions
You could represent that point of view easily
with many examples of taunting vs. ones of celebrating great plays.
Or the NCAA pays greater attention to such items as opposed to serious issues.
Like Reggie Bush’s family living in a better house?

Great play, then stupid celebration penalty.

Looks like the universal conspiracy to get Boise to the title game is nearly complete
They needed about 16 chips to fall into place for them, and at the beginning of the season, it seemed astronomically unlikely. Today is chip #15, and #16 will come when Boise [INEXPLICABLY] passes TCU in the BCS.
Wow
I know OU has a horrible track record, but Alabama really is the most crooked program in the NCAA. I’m glad we don;t share a conference; this stuff would be infuriating week to week.
And an Aggie helped give them that reputation.
If the allegations about Newton’s family are true, then Auburn is running a close second.
What we have here is a failure to execute.
by dimecoverage on Nov 26, 2010 2:18 PM CST up reply actions
My opinion of Nick Saban
really went downhill after the Title Game, when Bama ran up the score instead of kneeling toward the end.
Can you provide more details on the crookedness… I know they were sanctioned in the past, but do you think stuff is still happening there?
How does our OC watch tape of Iowa State getting blown out by OU 52-0 and then come up with a gameplan which scores only 6 points through 3 quarters?!?
Referring mostly to past sanctions
although most of those sanctions took place when the NCAA hadn’t yet been castrated for financial reasons. From direct experience of being around their fanbase (an ex-girlfriend of mine is from Tuscaloosa) I’m pretty sure the culture of win-at-all-costs hasn’t changed a bit, and I doubt if Saban is the guy to clean up that culture.
I just lost it when I saw the phantom pass-interference and the utterly ridiculous unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that broke the game open for Bama. Reminded me all too vividly of my childhood when I used to pray for Bama to get the death penalty.
by BrooklynHorn on Nov 26, 2010 3:44 PM CST up reply actions
Most recently, Saban has skirted the scholly rules
quite flagrantly by signing way more than the limit then floating players on and off the scholarship lists, and the ones he takes off, he puts on “staff” so they get paid.

Alabama absolutely dominated the 1st quarter.
You don’t need to cause 3 turnovers to win playing like that.
Well
Gus Malzahn’s rep is taking a bit of a hit the first half…even with the “best player in college football” they got blanked!
I don't think the conspiracy theory idea that they're making sure Boise gets in holds water
after that quarter. Auburn just flat out got the line back hell beat out of them all over the field.

So Boise St gets to play for everything
having accomplished less on the field than at least 20 other teams, and the package is delivered to us by Nick Saban. I think the entire Universe has officially jumped the shark. We need another big bang.
It won't
The doubters will still say, “Anyone can get up for one game. Make them have to do it week in and week out, and we’ll talk.”

Who ever said the majority of college football fans are rational? :)
"It's all bullshit, and it's bad for 'ya." -George Carlin
I'm questioning, at this point, whether the majority still sees things this way
I’m sensing that people have tired of the debate and have finally adopted a “what the hell, give the little guy a chance” attitude, which speaks more to laziness or the lack of endurance of a logical argument that was cogent in years past, but to which people have grown tired and are now overcompensating.
by BrooklynHorn on Nov 26, 2010 2:43 PM CST up reply actions
I've adopted the "I don't give a damn" attitude about it
because I’ve finally come to the realization that in order to beat the BCS, we’re going to have to use the BCS. I still stand by the argument that Boise doesn’t have to get up week in and week out. I think anyone can win one or two tough games a year knowing they can coast through the rest of their schedule. However, I think the only way we’re going to move past this current system is to have one of the little guys finally win it all, so screw it. Let ’em play.
"It's all bullshit, and it's bad for 'ya." -George Carlin
I'll be far more concerned if that quiets the doubters
Had Bama, Auburm, Oklahoma, hell Michigan played Boise’s schedule. they’d have a shot. Understand, it isn’t just about the opportunity to play (which is the erroneous mainstream argument), it is about wear and tear on a team. I would favor Boise in any post-season play for that alone.

Total domination by Bama. Auburn is lucky to not be down 35-0 right now.
Bama defense completely shutting down the auburn offense.

Maybe Pelini will implode on the sideline today.

Turkey, stuffing, and home-made cranberry sauce are about a gazillion times better the next day. Still so used to having this stuff while watching the Horns pummel the Aggies Friday morning – haven’t quite adjusted.
I actually can't stand Thanksgiving leftovers.
A couple of turkey sandwiches are fine, but I don’t like the traditional Thanksgiving staples enough to enjoy them more than once a year. I’m mostly happy that as a society we’ve learned how to fry a turkey whole, which makes the whole experience much better.
BBQing leg of lamb today in lieu of another go around tonight. Definitely looking forward to that.

How much
must it irk Dan Hawkins that he left Boise for Colorado so that he could play for higher glory, only to find the football landscape has shifted enough for Boise to have an easier path to the title game than Colorado? Now he has no job at all.
Yep, bad move on his part.
I don’t think Colorado will ever be able to get back to it’s glory years.
Cunningham
Generally like him, I think, but he’s working too hard to make the Pellini brothers sound better than they’ve behaved. If I recall correctly, Mangino took over a program that wasn’t having much success, acted the way the Pellini brothers do, and is now out of coaching altogether. Let’s see…what/who do these guys have in common?
I am astounded by the clock management of college football coaches
It’s like they didn’t go to math class in elementary school.
And that play should have been reviewed.

If Bama wins, here is what we’re probably looking at:
National Championship: Boise State vs. Oregon
Rose: Wisconsin vs. Stanford
Sugar: South Carolina/Auburn vs. Ohio State
Orange: Va Tech vs. LSU/Alabama
Fiesta: Big 12 (Ok State) vs. Big East (West Va/UConn)

At this point, I’d be surprised if it were even close. Watching what’s happening in Tuscaloosa is furthering my sense that we’re going to see business as usual (which, from my biased point of view, means every evil team is going to be victorious). OU will win Bedlam, tOSU will destroy Michigan, etc.

Hold on there buddy.
Oregon still has a couple tough games left including the one tonight against Arizona.
Of course,
Oregon could still lose. Assuming they win out, that would be your scenario.
I’m also assuming that Wisconsin and Ohio State win too. And that Va Tech wins the ACC championship.
Lots of football left but that would be your most likely scenario.
--AW--
Too Interesting Then
That would mean current #1 Oregon, #2 Auburn both lose. The easy thought is then 3 vs. 4 would slide up—Boise and TCU. Not sure about that. There would be pressures for a BCS conference champ to grab at least one of those spots.
Could Auburn lose today and then jump back up to #2? Probably not.
Could Stanford slide up to #2? Maybe but they lost to Oregon so moving then ahead of the Ducks wouldn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Could Wisconsin jump all the way to #2? Maybe.
Could Ok State jump all the way to #2 with wins over OU and Nebraska? Maybe
I don’t have a clue.
--AW--
Oregon will win it all, IMO
Boise’s offense can probably almost keep up with Oregon, but Oregon-TCU would be a more competitive match-up due to TCU’s defense
How does our OC watch tape of Iowa State getting blown out by OU 52-0 and then come up with a gameplan which scores only 6 points through 3 quarters?!?
I suppose it's fitting that Nebraska's final Big XII game
will be played against OU in the championship game. I dislike both teams, but I recognize it is probably good for the impartial college football enthusiast. It could be years before these old rivals meet again.
Let's not put the cart before the horse.
Okie light wins the Bedlam game tomorrow, and they go to Dallas. And, the game is in Stillwater. I like their chances.

Joking aside, if a booster paid Cam Newton's pimp/father
it is likely that Auburn University wasn’t involved in the original deal and thus perhaps previously unaware… if so, do they deserve any sanctions?

IF the allegations are true..
Mr. Newton wasn’t exactly shy about sharing his demands with coaches and AD staff of MSU. If it’s true, there’s no way that Auburn wasn’t aware and doesn’t take it across the chin. Maybe not the death penalty, but damn close.

Auburn suffers from what I like to call “Red Sox syndrome.” See, the Yankees spend 5 times as much as everyone else and are perceived as evil because of it. The Red Sox, after decades of watching their rival do this year in and year out, watching their rival’s fans taunt them every year, finally spend more money to buy some elite players (less than the Yankees, mind you, but more than most), and now have to hear everyone bitch about how they’re evil too.
Auburn’s been putting up with a crooked brand of Alabama dominance for decades, and they have one controversy and they are being perceived as being just as crooked. I don’t condone any infractions, but I’m sympathetic to the escalation that is happening. Bama started this, damn it.

And what of Ron Stoops Jr.? Well, he fell closest to the Stoops tree. Literally. Ron coaches football a mile or two away at Youngstown’s Cardinal Mooney preparatory school, as the late Ron Sr. had done for 28 years until his sudden passing in 1988 at the age of 54.
No fiction could better capture the events that occurred on that fateful October night. Cardinal Mooney was facing their arch-rivals from Boardman. The teams fought it out in a steady rain, dead even and destined for overtime. And who was up in the booth coaching Boardman’s defense? Why Ron Jr., of course. Ron Sr. left the sidelines late in the game with severe chest pains, and with his son by his side, he took his last breath in an ambulance moments after Mooney’s triple-overtime victory.

Actually I have a source (I really do!) that knew someone close to Dodds. Texas never planned to leave, the biggest sticking point was the network. It was in the works and Belmont wasn’t giving in on that point. The weekend before, when Brown was breaking all the “big news” about the PAC 10 Commish coming to Okie and Texas the next few days and everyone was signing on…they had no idea where that was coming from. It wasn’t even close to the truth. Maybe the PAC 10 Commish thought he could get Belmont to give on the network, but that wasn’t going to happen.

As I understand it, the network won’t carry football unless they are games that no other network wants. That rarely, if ever, happens for the Horns. The Big 12-2 network contract will cover Texas FB. Texas will retain rights to games, I believe. Someone know exactly?
The network will carry all other sports so we will be able to watch Texas sports year-round. Hopefully all basketball and baseball games will be carried? Learned Hand usually keeps up with the money aspects. Maybe he can post something at some point.

Said in the middle of the 3rd quarter, against an average opponent, probably about as good as Baylor. How would Moore’s numbers look if he were getting put on his back 7 or 8 games a year? How might his injury status look?
Let's give a little credit to the 19th ranked team in the nation...
one that would probably beat 2/3 of the Big 12.

Hey, the system is not perfect. But, it's better than the one we had. Um, really? Joe Paterno led 4 undefeated teams under the old system that were not National Champions.

With 120 teams
providing plenty of padded scheduling, ensuring most of the big boys will get to 9-10 wins, a playoff would make almost every game in the regular season meaningless to me.
