will finish ranked in the top 25?

11/14/2008 12:54:54 PM

4 teams began the season ranked: Wisconisn (#12), Kansas (#13), Tennessee (#18), and Michigan (#23)...
All 4 teams have fallen out.
Currently Pitt and Cincinatti are the only Adidas teams ranked in top 25, but Pitt has fallen out before this season...

Who will actually finish out in the Top 25?

what

11/14/2008 12:59:32 PM

College football teams that wear Adidas continually underachieve....think about it...

NCSU, Notre Dame, UCLA, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Louisville, Michigan, Kansa, Northewestern, Indiana, Pitt, Cincinatti, and Arkansas all wear Adidas....

Name which teams on here have not underachieved this year (Cincinatti is the exception, but they are ranked for the first time, so the jury is still out on them)

11/14/2008 1:05:32 PM

i disagree that NCSU underacheives...


we are well above any expectations brought on to us

11/14/2008 1:08:42 PM

Remember how well Kansas did last lear? Well they switched to Adidas this year and now they are not as good.

Remember Michigan? They switched to Adidas this year, now they suck.

Remember Texas A&M? They were to challenge Texas last year...they didn't...and now this year they switched to Adidas and are even worse..

When was the last time NC State was good? When Rivers was here...guess what, we changed to Adidas the year after Rivers left....

^^ I agree that NCSU does not underachieve as a team, but they have as a program ever since we switched unis from Nike to Adidas...

Northwestern is actually overachieving this year

11/14/2008 1:11:56 PM

So, whose alias is this? I haven't been paying attention.

The point is that it's been instilled in our psyche that Nike is badass, and that if you wear Nike you are badass or at least you know you look good...

Adidas, for many years, was only big with soccer players...

Many football players and many in the general public feel (although they may be wrong) that soccer players are pussies...therefore, wearing Adidas instead of Nike makes you feel less badass...

The results show on the field...check out the top 5 in the BCS year in and year out (besides Texas Tech this year who wears Under Armour) and they all wear Nike...at the very least, none wear Adidas

Players play well when they think they look good...

we keep loothing gameth becauthe of our tacky uniformth!

11/14/2008 1:16:28 PM

I apologize for the spelling errors, but surely you can see my point...

11/14/2008 1:17:34 PM

no i dont see your point because i dont think the manufacturer/sponsor of uniforms has anything at all to do with what happens on the field

11/14/2008 1:18:18 PM

^^ dude, don't be like that....what football player doesn't want to wear sweet ass uniforms?

11/14/2008 1:18:58 PM

then disagree with me if you will, but don't try to imply that my logic is not valid because I have spelling errors

11/14/2008 1:20:12 PM

I'd say this argument is anything but Airtight

11/14/2008 1:23:44 PM

I am simply making an observation...perhaps the manufacturer of a team's uniforms has nothing to do with how they play, but perhaps it has to do with the state of the school's athletic department...I do not believe that it is coincidence that only 2 of the 15 football teams that wear Adidas (many of whom are traditional powers) are ranked in the Top 25...and those 2 could fall out before the season is over

11/14/2008 1:24:09 PM

^^ what is not Airtight about it? Look at the Top 25 dude! If you can deny that only 2 teams wearing Adidas are in the top 25, then I will agree with you and I will retract my observation.

11/14/2008 1:26:12 PM

which teams with one of the three primary colors (red, blue, yellow) in their school colors will finish in the BCS between spots 6 and 32?

which schools with coaches who are either Libras or Capricorns will go to bowl games in the central time zone?

which schools with chancellors born between 1941 and 1952 will be ranked in next year's preseason top 25?

11/14/2008 1:28:09 PM

^ aha

Correlation does not imply causation

11/14/2008 1:31:52 PM

haha...I get your points, and I realize that correlation does not imply causation...but can we agree that many athletes and sportsfans are superstitious? This could be a superstition...

How is saying that teams wearing Adidas do not play as well as teams wearing Nike different from saying that NCSU plays better on Thursday nights than they do on Saturdays?

11/14/2008 1:37:55 PM

i would like to hear your logic when you fill out a bracket.

11/14/2008 2:12:14 PM

I will not share my strategy when it comes to filling out a bracket

11/14/2008 2:19:02 PM

lol this is terrible

michigan just switched to adidas too btw

11/14/2008 2:24:36 PM

^ no shit dude, that's why I included Michigan under Adidas teams...and that is why this year, the first year they switched to Adidas, will see Michigan's first losing season in how ever many years...that is my point

11/14/2008 2:31:34 PM

"ya'll gonna make me lose my mind up in HERE! up in here"

11/14/2008 2:33:25 PM

LOL I know this is just an alias troll thread and all but:
