I still see them ranked 1 and 2, both undefeated. Their main competition lost this past weekend. Unless something else big happens, they will remain 1 and 2 all year.

“Unless something else big happens…” you mean like them playing eachother in two weeks? One of them will knock off the other. One of them won’t play in the conference championship game and won’t have a shot. The one that loses wont stay in the top two(unless every other team in the top 10 also loses that week)
Well, it’s happened before where a team didn’t even make it to the conference championship game but still made it to the National Championship game. Nebraska 2001. Also, Oklahoma 2003 lost their conference championship game and still made it to the National CHampionship game.
From the look of things so far, whoever loses between LSU and Bama in a couple of weeks looks like a better team than either NU '01 or OU '03. I could see the loser rising back up to #2 in the BCS standings by the end of the year if both teams continue to dominate, if Okie St or Stanford slip up (which I can definitely see).
I’m tired of the SEC winning the damn thing every year, but these two teams look head and shoulders better than the rest of the CFB field right now.

Ulty hit on what I am getting at, after the game, both will win out, and I honestly dont see anyone else being even close to competitive with them. I predict they will end up ranked 1 and 2 at the end of the year.

I like anything that makes the BCS look poorly done. If this happens and the Big East implores (and it should if W. Virgina heads to the Big 12) then that is good for me. Hell, if the choice is between Boise or a one loss SEC team it will be fun to see how either is justified.

The 2 years he mentioned involved a ton of ridiculous shit. The final couple weeks+conference championships the year that Nebraska got in despite not being in their conference title game, involved like 12 upsets of top 5 teams. Nobody had 1 loss, it was Miami at 12-0 and everyone else at 10-2 at best. So that’s a terrible comparison because it would require Stanford to lose twice, Oregon one more time, Ok State twice, OU another time, Clemson twice, Wisconsin/MSU another time(whichever ended up winning the big10 title)… etc etc. And it wouldn’t be enough for those losses to just happen, they’d have to happen in an order where the teams were dropped right as they had inherited a higher ranking from the team above.
The other year was the split national title with USC/LSU.
The only possible way I see of an all SEC title game is actually involving Arkansas as I said, because they would then have beat in the final 5 weeks, Clemson, South Carolina, and the SEC title opponent, which would certainly vault them to #1. If the SEC title game were close and the respective contenders in other conferences lose, THAT is a possible BCS title matchup. LSU/Bama rematch is BEYOND far fetched with the way the college landscape has changed with added conference title games and whatnot(big SoS and computer points boosts).

I’m not optimistic at all. That being said, Florida hasn’t been the “best team” 18 of the last 21 years either, and it’s worked out pretty well. They say Brantley should be back but I have no idea if they’re telling the truth. If he is, I think he’ll do well. I have no idea what to expect for the other 3 questions… we’ve just looked so god awful bad lately that I don’t feel good about anything.

What? Why would all those teams have to lose twice? You don’t think a one-loss LSU or Bama would be ranked above all these other teams with only one loss?
The BCS computers love strength of schedule, and they love wins. After whoever loses between LSU and Bama, there are still a few games left to add to the win totals, and the one loss will definitley not be a bad one. And their strength of schedule will be much stronger than those other teams.
I’m not saying it will happen, but it could happen, and it’s not a difficult scenario.

UNM is the worst college football team I have ever seen. We set a number of records against them.
Bama was asleep for a half, they must serve Starbux at halftime. The LSU game should be one for the ages.[/quote]
They came out flat after the 1.5 hr weather delay. Then they played like shit for most of the game. Then the kicker missed a couple. Then we played like shit some more. Then we didn’t totally play like shit, but there was no time left. Then we lost.
Any other questions?
Yeah, I’m probably still hungover.
Of course, I’m always happy to lose during the season, when we play like that. I’d much rather the team’s weaknesses be exposed during the season than during a BCS game.
Now I just have to hope that EVERYONE loses. Except Boise. They can win out, and then I’ll giggle when it’s two one-loss teams in the BCS championship game. :)[/quote]
No excuses, TTECH beat us like we had insulted their grandma…BUT when the fuck are the Sooners ever, and I mean ever going to have a kicker again that can actually make a field goal to tie or win a game?..I can list at least 5 losses where if we had made a late or game ending field goal, they win or go to OT…this goes started after the Oregon debacle…I mean high school teams have better kick stats than the sooners…it’s mind blowing at how inept they have been at kicking for at least 5-6 years…the last kicker who could kick at all was Garrett Hartley…Didn’t help in the TECh Game, but the main reason of the beatdown was the defense tackling looked they were all Stevie Wonder trying to tackle someone…rant over…
^I have never understood why kickers are so looked down upon in football when they play a very pivotal role of deciding many games. Even if they are just kicking extra points. 6pts in stead of 7pts starts to add up over the course of a game.

I agree. There must be some secret pact between coaches to rarely offer scholarships to kickers, and among NFL coaches to rarely use draft picks on kickers.
A good kicker will win you games. A bad kicker will lose you games. They can make such a difference yet are usually an afterthought in terms of recruiting and coaching.

I agree
Plus kickers need to be clutch, have that icy vein thing going on that’s more about staying cool than being explosive.
I got to attempt a 35 yard field goal during a tour of Ford Field a few years ago, and man, huge cavernous stadium made those goal post look awful narrow. Stack on a crowd and a game situation and it’s not an easy task.
Look at Nate Kaeding for the Chargers. Nails all season long then muffed two important field goals in as many years in the playoffs to keep them from advancing. Not easy.

Just got my ticket in hand for Cal-UCLA this Saturday. Never been to the Rose Bowl before. Anyone have any advice on parking, bars to hit afterward, etc?
I have a goal of visiting as many college football stadiums as I can before I die.
I’ve been to:
South Bend
Michigan State
Cal at Berkley
Qualcom (San Diego State)
Coliseum (USC)
Not a huge list, but lookin’ forward to tacking down more.

The Rose Bowl parking sucks donkey balls. The Rose Bowl sits on the top of a hill, which means you have 1-2 lanes going up, and 1-2 lanes going down. You will be driving up the 134/210 freeways, parking on a grass field (most likely), and walking a shit ton to get to the stadium. I do believe that tailgating has been changed due to some violence…
Rose Bowl officials last week approved tailgating rules designed to provide a safe, family friendly environment.
Not surprisingly, there is an emphasis on limiting drinking. Recall that last season two men were stabbed in the stadium’s parking lot before the USC-UCLA game.
A few notable changes:
*Alcohol consumption will now be prohibited in all tailgating areas after kickoff.
*General parking lots will open to the public six hours instead of eight hours before kickoff.
*Games that involve the consumption of alcohol or use of alcohol-related paraphernalia are prohibited.
As far as bars/pubs, you will want to look on Colorado Blvd, it’s the main street in Pasadena where you will find all the nightlife. Careful if you drink, Pasadena cops hand out DUI’s for fun.
