JHawk 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 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. If only something like six of those hadn't been upsets. Damn Cinderellas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alas this game pretty much means nothing. We would have had our own BCS then. As it stands, it's one game for the title. One champion....just seems silly when I say it doesn't it? Maybe Raza and I should split the title and have the rest of you yell about who would have one in a head to head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) It's one year with a split champion. One year out of 6. Only because the BCS got massively lucky in 2 of the previous 3 years. Last year was Ohio St vs Miami....which wasn't hard since everyone agreed that should have been the game. Even the AP had that right for christ sake. Year before that, Miami played f*cking Nebraska and that was a joke. Didn't win their conference, didn't even win their division and went in ranked #4 in both polls but ended up in the title game. I STILL don't know how the hell that happened. And no one has yet to explain to me how in the F*CK it happened. This was strike 2 against the BCS Strike one was Florida St vs Oklahoma in 2000. Even as a Seminoles fan, I KNEW they didn't deserve to be in that game. Not one bit. And this year, was strike 3. A system that was supposed to prevent things like this has failed for the second time in three years. And for the second time in those three years, the Pac 10 has been the conference to prove the flaws of a computer that considers the Pac 10 among the worst conferences in college football each year. And the latest news is Carr and a few others coaches will NOT bump USC from #1 in the coaches poll as a sign they have had enough, violating the contract with the BCS. In other words, mutiny as begun. 2000 In coaches and AP Poll #1- Oklahoma, #2 Miami (who beat Florida St), #3 Florida St Florida St vs Oklahoma was the BCS game 2001 #1- Miami, #2 Orgeon, #3 Colorado, #4 Nebraska Nebraska vs Miami was the BCS game, Oregon was #4 in the BCS 2002 #1 Miami, #2 Ohio St Wow, that was easy 2003 #1 USC, #2 LSU, #3 Oklahoma If you screwed up at your job three out of the last four times, would you still be working? Of course not, we'd all be fired. Edited January 3, 2004 by 2GOLD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but they can still talk about it badly and hurt the BCS more. Cause the #1 not being in the title game is not setting well with any of them right now. I'm not even sure if I care about LSU vs Oklahoma now. I didn't like either of them to begin with and the game isn't even involving #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is the human #1 the undisputed #1? Why? Why aren't people going "Well those humans got it wrong. USC isn't #1!" Why are the human polls considered so great and what they say goes? I mean a human is prone to more bias and hidden agenda's than a computer. So why? Is it because it's traditionally how it's done? Is this a no change kind of thing?

Computers use whatever humans tell them and can be programmed to have more biased by humans. Nothing is objective which is why it needs to be settled on the field. Christ, just ADD an extra game for next Monday to kill time leading to the Super Bowl. Common sense says as follows, if you are on the top and you get crushed while the two below you crush their opponents then you move down unless the gap between you and them is wide. I'm a FSU fan and if FSU had been #1, and had loss, I wouldn't want them in the title game. I was pissed they got in the title game against OU in 2000.

If LSU wins, you win the contest by one single point. Edwin, Rob, and Vern all picked Oklahoma so that's why they can't pass 2GOLD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
