was a bad spot followed by a bogus replacement of the ball followed by a mysterious movement of the chains with nary a measurement

i don't know that texas would have scored

but they should have been given an opportunity to defend against 4th down

11/11/2006 11:47:56 PM

so usc will head to half up 14-0

No way Louisville drops out of the Top 10. They lost by 3 points to Rutgers. Remember UL went into Manhatten and won going away against the same KSU team that just beat Texas.

1) osu
2) um
3) uf
4) sc
5) nd
6) arkansas
7) wvu
8) rutgers
9) ul
10) lsu

wiscy will get NO love from the computers. they had a piss ass schedule.

V yeah it's possible if the human polls drop uf.. the computers will still give them props for beating usc...

** don't worry, if Wake wins out they'll get their due and be in the Top 10. Remember they have a horrid ooc schedule, though UConn won today over a decent Pitt so that should help...

I guess I could see louisville staying in the top 10. After struggling today and if USC rolls, I think Florida will fall.

11/11/2006 11:58:38 PM

What's going to be the deal with Wake Forest???

If they win out they get an automatic bid to BCS b/c the win teh conference. Also if they win out that means that they would have to beat Maryland and VT both top 25 teams....not that i am a WF fan, but it's always good for the conference and the state when we have a team, esp a surprise like WF, in the BCS

11/12/2006 12:03:03 AM

if they are behind cal and texas it is complete garbage.

11/12/2006 12:04:29 AM

theyll never enter the discussion

its a nice little story but when you really look at what theyve done, its not much of anything

11/12/2006 12:11:17 AM

nd was helped out way too much today

here's to hoping they get destroyed by usc

11/12/2006 12:25:10 AM

no thanks
id rather have nd have a chance to play for the nc than usc

11/12/2006 12:28:44 AM

rutgers needs a lot of help in the poles to get in. they would have to leap a lot of teams.

i'm thinking mich/ohiost vs. sec winner is most likely as long as it only has 1 loss.

however, all the crap that has happened today, and if ND beats USC, i think it is getting very likely that we could see a rematch of osu/mich as long as the game is a good game. going to be a crazy last few weeks.

11/12/2006 12:33:30 AM

i still dont see how an undefeated rutgers doesnt get as much mention as a 1 loss louisville(at the time) or a 1 loss WVU when they are from the same conference.

Not to mention that if Rutgers does knock off WVU that will be 2 wins over top 10 teams

although i did pick at the begining of the year a florida/ND NC game, ND's schedule should be held against them

11/12/2006 12:37:50 AM

people let their idea of the strength of a conference determine to much, that is why rutgers doesn't get mentioned. also, people have a hard time believing in teams that don't have a long football tradition, it becomes not about one team possibly being good, like rutgers, but that everyone else must not be good.

[Edited on November 12, 2006 at 12:40 AM. Reason : .]

11/12/2006 12:40:24 AM

but see that is what i am saying. Both Louisville and WVU were getting 1 loss mentions of a shot at the NC and neither played any powerhouses. if rutgers knocks them both off i think they should get a shot

Louisville SOS - 32
WVU SOS - 35
Rutgers SOS - 63 while all 3 pretty much play the same teams

11/12/2006 12:50:00 AM

thats what i'm saying, it is now not that rutgers must be even better then WVU and UL, it is that those teams are not as good as we thought.

its stupid, but thats how college football works. it goes on predetermined notions of conference and schedule strength. people just can't grasp that rutgers could be one of the top 2 teams in the country even if they run the table.

if you are going to spout off bullshit like that, then keep it consistent

just for fun, go look at michigans schedule

11/12/2006 11:37:00 AM

yea, but michigan destroyed notre dame, IN south bend... so notre dame fans dont have shit on michigan right now saying... "they had it easy" too

11/12/2006 12:06:42 PM

that game is irrelevant to this discussion

Im sick and fuck and tired of people blabbering about the ND schedule (which is down from its usual perch) when all these other schools dont play shit either and play all these 1-AA teams

11/12/2006 12:08:37 PM

^^ Yeah no one is saying Michigan isn't deserving, just that people criticize NDs schedule baselessly.

Some SOS #s for the undefeateds/1 lossers as of today:

ND: 22
tOSU: 49
Michigan: 29
SC: 4
Florida: 14
Louisville: 24
Rutgers: 66
Wiscy: 60
Ark: 81
Wake: 76
Boise: 99
WVU: 54

notre dames schedule is just fine, dont listen to them, Georgia Tech away, Michigan, and USC away is plenty...
ohio state is ending up only having texas and michigan, cause they didnt play wisconsin this year... they had it easy i say

11/12/2006 12:22:18 PM

I am already picturing ND winning out and leaping a 1 loss michigan(if mich were to lose). That would have some people going absolutly nuts.

11/12/2006 12:46:34 PM

as its already been said, its not unprecedented and it has happened to ND before

but its an EXTREME long shot

haha they put clemson after they beat the powerhouse known as NC State

well deserved ranking

11/12/2006 1:24:33 PM

wtf GET TEXAS OUT OF THERE they lost to kansas state for heavens sake. no way they should be ahead of wake and boise

11/12/2006 1:26:12 PM

woooooooooo weeeeeeee michigan got 1 vote... first time all year ohio state didnt get all 63?

11/12/2006 2:12:54 PM

18. Georgia Tech 8-2 566
19. Virginia Tech 8-2 420
20. Boston College 8-2 384
21. Maryland 8-2 325

pretty crazy....

14. Wake Forest 9-1 724

11/12/2006 2:17:48 PM

^^^ Texas is a joke. If they didn't play in the WORST BCS conference they'd be 20-25. Wake should definitely be ahead. The funny thing is Louisville beat KSU by almost 20 points w/ their back QB in Manhattan and Texas is ahead of them too.. I guess losing to an unranked team >>> losing to the #7 team if you're name is Texas.

[Edited on November 12, 2006 at 2:34 PM. Reason : wiscy moving up 6 spots is dumb too.. coaches don't watch any of the games anhyhow..]

what why is wvu ahead of rutgers

11/12/2006 2:58:22 PM

AP poll out too

more fucking bullshit (arkansas)
