I'm fairly certain it was planned. Recap by G.P. Ryan

As a Stanford fan I'd like to say that all seven of their losses were flukes. Stanford defeated UCLA Who defeated California Who defeated USC Who defeated Washington State Who defeated Texas Who defeated Kansas State Who defeated Oklahoma See Stanford is better than both USC and Oklahoma!

Humanitarian Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Tulsa, worth 2 points Pick Breakdown Georgia Tech (14) - Edwin MacPhitso, Vern Gagne, JHawk, phoenixrising, Kotzejunge, Bored, bravesfan, Agent Bond34, bps "The Truth" 21, Canadian Chris, Gatornibs, The Mighty Damaramu, MarvinisaLunatic, the pinjockey Tulsa (9) - 2GOLD, Rob E Dangerously, razazteca, Lando Griffin, Cuban Linx, teke184, HarleyQuinn, cartman, Choken One Its a shame that 2GOLD and razazteca didn't differ on this one and possibly have this game decide the contest which would have been funny. Alas this game pretty much means nothing.

Ivan Maisel of ESPN disagrees with you Dama: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls03/colu...ivan&id=1698483 But in your head he probably just biased against Oklahoma. ITS A CONSPIRACY I TELLS YA!

Again this coming from a guy who called himself a "newbie" to college football this year. I bow to you great college football expert Dama! All those "experts" at ESPN don't know what they are talking about!

I think they are shunned b/c of the conference they're in. Which is kind of sad.....but then again if you are a really good team in a shitty conference(see USC) then it'd be easier for you to get victories. So USC beat the Big Ten Champ easily because they were in a "shitty" conference? Que? Pac-10 4-2 in bowl games. Big XII 1-5 in bowl games. Only match-up of Pac-10 and Big XII in the bowl season, Washington State beats Texas. Now who is in the shitty conference again? The Pac-10. USC played Pac-10 teams this season. They had a light SOS. OU played Big XII teams this season. They had a heavy SOS. OU's opponents were tougher than USC's period. There is no denying that. And there is no denying you completely ignored my point after your ignorant statement that the Pac-10 is a shitty conference. Face facts, the Big XII has been beaten down this bowl season.

Fuck this noise...USC's cheerleaders are hotter than everyone elses. Oh those tight fitting, white sweaters. END OF DEBATE!

But OU and LSU are playing a team that is better than Michigan. They're going to have a tougher time dominating than USC because the team they are facing is better than what USC had to work with. *sigh* I give up. Tried to give a nice little, honest answer to end this nonsense and you don't budge off your soapbox.

Let's have fun with who lost to who: Oklahoma lost to Kansas State Who lost to Marshall Who lost to Troy State LSU lost to Florida Who lost to Mississippi Who lost to Memphis Who lost to UAB Who lost to Troy State USC lost to California Who lost to UCLA Who lost to Colorado Who lost to UAB Who lost to Troy State TROY STATE IS #1 BABY!!!

Let me just end this. USC played a great team yesterday, the best they've played all year, and destroyed them. Oklahoma (and LSU) plays a great team on Sunday, the best they've played all year, and if they dominate like USC did then there is no point in arguing anymore as they are equally good.

Um Cal beat Arizona by 28, got that backwards. Yes but your right these comparissons can go so far. Hell to take this shit deeper Cal lost to Kansas State in Kansas City, the site of the Big XII title game, by 14 in the season opener. Oklahoma lost on the same field to the same team by 28. Again doesn't necesarrily mean anything. Also USC's loss to Cal as has been mentioned was in triple overtime by three points on the road. If USC gets one more break in that game we're probably not even having this conversation.

Dama ya see you actually have valid points but your execution is horrendous. You just whine and whine and whine non-stop and have been doing it for a month now so no one takes you seriously. In all honesty you shouldn't be taken seriously because I remember during the season in the college football thread that you mentioned being a newbie to the sport so I don't think your exactly the most knowledgeable person on the subject.

Or maybe the Big XII has had a down year. 1-5 now in bowls after tonight. No one took Texas seriously all year and everyone had their doubts about them and they showed it in the Holiday Bowl that they aren't an elite team. Oklahoma State was okay this year but by no means a great team.

No...no we can't. I'm looking forward to him bitching about it during the Humanitarian Bowl tommorrow.

Yup you'll still have a 27 point lead on razazteca going into the Sugar Bowl and of course that game is worth...28 points. Rob E Dangerously and Edwin MacPhitso both picked Oklahoma so that's why they can't pass 2GOLD. Another thing of interest is JHawk is currently 55 points behind 2GOLD. If Ohio State hangs on for the win tonight and LSU beats Oklahoma he'll end up finishing one point behind 2GOLD and two points behind razazteca for the title. If only he hadn't lost NINE in a row at one point. Oh and my picks have completely gone in the shitter. I'm looking at an 0-3 today most likely and am going to need LSU to win to just finish in the Top 10, assuming Ohio State wins tonight. I'm actually happy I'm not going to win because it'd look kinda lame to win my own contest but shit after being in the lead and near it most of the contest I'd hope to hang on to a Top 10 finish.

The Clemson upset of Tennessee means only razazteca can beat out 2GOLD for the championship. I'll go into more detail later tonight.

For anyone who is mathematically eliminated yet someone below you isn't that is because your remaining picks don't differ enough with 2GOLD's to pass him while their's do. The top 9 all have realistic shots at winning.

Solid Gold.

Hey do you notice that teke184, our resident LSU fan, hasn't done any complaining about USC being declared national champ by all of us no matter what LSU does? Maybe you should follow their lead and not whine about it and just let things play out, k?

Your on fire as your the only one to pick all four games so far today. The contest really might come down tonight as if Florida State pulls off the upset 2GOLD will be pretty close wrapping this thing up, although even then the Sugar Bowl likely will officially decide the winner. But if Miami wins tonight its anyone's game.
