lomasmoney 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 minnesota always does this they spend a week or so in the top 25 until they lose to northwestern or michigan state or some other lower tier big ten school. Michigan might still have a shot if they win out but the big ten looks really tough with 5 ranked teams right now. But if they play like they did against notre dame every game they can win out, but it will be so hard because of the competitiveness of the big 10(11). I can see OSU being unbeaten going into the big game because they just find ways not to lose and you have to respect that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 KU's four wins are over UNLV, Wyoming, Jacksonville State, and Missouri KU will probably be 5-2 when they go into Manhattan to face K-State (they'll beat Baylor and lose to Colorado) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2003 (edited) KU's four wins are over UNLV, Wyoming, Jacksonville State, and Missouri KU will probably be 5-2 when they go into Manhattan to face K-State (they'll beat Baylor and lose to Colorado) Not that I'm saying Kansas would win but UNLV did embarass Wisconsin (I had wondered on this board how a team could lose to a team that lost to Kansas but that's what I get) and has a nice win over Hawaii. Missouri was ranked today although after just eeking out a win over Middle Tennesee St. last week I guess you could see this one coming. Holy crap Washington St. is laying a beating to Oregon 31-2. This poses the question...how the fuck did WSU lose to Notre Dame? That might end up being the upset of the year. Edited September 27, 2003 by Bored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've played very well this year, considering they have no depth, which means their players are sucking wind by the start of the second half.

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 What's funny is that for all the bitching about the BCS, it has still managed to convincingly determine the national champion during every year of its existence. As a Michigan fan, I will take the BCS any day over seeing the #1 ranked Wolverines win their title game and fall to #2 in one poll because the stupid "traditional matchups" gave them a weaker opponent while the #2 team got to beat up on the #3 in another game.

Bored 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 (edited) What's funny is that for all the bitching about the BCS, it has still managed to convincingly determine the national champion during every year of its existence. Oooo ya cause its sooooooooooo hard to figure out who's national champ when there is only one undefeated team at the end of the year. The NCAA has lucked out since the BCS was put in as we haven't had a year yet where the was no undeafted teams before the bowls or more than two undefeated teams before the bowls. Of course it has fucked up the national championship game twice by putting in an undeserving Florida St. team in there in 2000 to get beat up by Oklahoma and an undeserving Nebraska team in 2001 to get humiliated by Miami when the Rose Bowl was killed forever. Last year they got lucky because they were two undefeated teams at the end and it ended up being a great game and people praised the BCS for "working". *sigh* I actually don't want this topic to turn into a bowl vs. playoff topic...well not until November.

You would have gotten the same bowl schedule under the old system with the polls just FSU/Va Tech would have been the Orange Bowl. Seriously wow a Big 10/Pac-10 match-up in the Rose Bowl...never saw that one coming. Of course the BCS has RUINED the Rose Bowl but hey they sure gave us a good game in '99 that we would have gotten regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
