iggymcfly Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Sorry for not doing the tier system this week. My thought process was really "no way West Virginia loses, why even bother". I did look through the BCS rankings earlier in the week though, and it looks like Georgia is the clear favorite to get in if Missouri loses (about 80%) with an outside shot that they get passed by either LSU or Oklahoma. No one else has a legitimate shot.
2GOLD Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Just let them all play at once. Just draw a huge circle in the middle of the field, put every player from every team in and whoever has a player left in the circle after all the pushing wins it all. My money is on Hawaii. Samoans are scrappy.
Mike wanna be Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 LSU jumps Georgia and defeats Ohio State in the NC. Meanwhile App State advances in the FCS. If FBS goes to a playoff, hypothetically, how do they distinguish the two subdivisions if they both have playoff systems?
Danville_Wrestling Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 I think if Mizzou loses you have to put LSU in the title game with OSU. They demolished the Hokies 48-7 earlier this year so you can't really justify putting VT in the title game ahead of them. Also, Kansas and Georgia didn't play their conference title games so I just don't want to see a team get into the national title game through that route. Plus, both of LSU's losses occurred in 3 OT's this year. Hell, I say if Hawaii wins tonight just throw them in the damn title game. It's been that kind of year anyway and if they get in then we can preserve the illusion that a two loss team won't be playing for the national title. Why LSU and not Oklahoma? I think that absolute tankjob against Colorado should take them out, hopefully. That's where I give the edge to LSU. LSU's losses occurred after regulation and not in regulation like both of Oklahoma's. Remember also that Oklahoma had to come from behind to even make the Texas Tech game close. Either way, it's a mess and I REALLY don't want OSU v. Georgia for the title. At least we'll have a selection show worth watching tomorrow minus spoilers.

Danville_Wrestling Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Oklahoma is getting ready to put Mizzou out their misery.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Now ESPN is saying lsu vs osu in the title game if the score holds in the oklahoma game.
Nate Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 I knew comin into the final week, I knew there was gonna be sheer chaos, obviously OSU is in the National title game I am in agreement that we need some sort of playoff system, but that would probably cause just as much of a mess actually I think this might be a decent playoff system, the top 4 teams would get auto bids to the main BCS games (if I am missin a BCS game let me know) number 1 would go to the National game number 2 would go to Rose Bowl number 3 would go to the Fiesta Bowl number 4 would go to the Sugar Bowl then take the next top 16 guys to run a playoff, when it gets down to the 4 this is where it gets complicated, the two teams that get to the "finals" would get into the National game and Rose Bowl, then the 2 losing teams to the 2 final teams would play to decide who goes to the Fiesta and Sugar bowl, the playoffs would run last week of November to Christmas week, then the BCS games would happen in the first or second week of January

Danville_Wrestling Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 I am in agreement that we need some sort of playoff system, but that would probably cause just as much of a mess I agree it would be a bit of a mess because the debate would shift to who the best "at-large" team was in the playoffs or something of that nature but those debates are unavoidable. Look at the NCAA basketball tournament for example. The only positive is that maybe the debate would be a bit less fierce because it would be a #8 seed people would be arguing over instead of who #2 is.
Slayer Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Despite being a K-State fan I actually wanted to see Mizzou go to the title game since they've got their own history of bad shit (five downs, the kick ball), plus they would've been a fresh face Barring that, however, I'll settle for pure fucking armageddon in the BCS

snuffbox Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 If today was any indication, Wisconsin can at least salvage its Bowl winning streak against Tennessee in the Outback.
devo Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Is ESPN2's feed completely blank for anyone else? I've got audio but no picture. Edit: Never mind, fixed itself.
Bored Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Posted December 2, 2007 ASU is going to win so their Fiesta Bowl hopes are still alive. My gut feeling is LSU will be #2 tomorrow. I think the Coaches and whoever the hell the Harris poll voters are will see that as the most fair thing to do, if there is such a thing as "fair" when it comes to declaring I-A National Champion.
Smartly Pretty Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Weekends like this are exactly why I DON'T want a playoff system. Fuck fairness, talking about who's going to end up playing in the national championship is going to be boatloads of fun.
Celtic Guardian Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Well if this doesn't lead towards the creation of a playoff system I don't know what else would. It's pretty funny, though, that a two loss team could end up at national champions while Hawaii could end up undefeated and not even play for the title. Yea, I know their strength of schedule wasn't that great and they struggled against San Jose State but they've played their schedule and haven't lost. In a year in which supposed top contenders lost to joke teams, Hawaii should get credit for beating all the joke teams on its schedule to date.
The Robfather Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 This is great, a BCS Clusterfuck!
The Ghost of bps21 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 I actually like that point. F it. OSU lost to an unranked at the time team...put Hawaii in there and let them roll the dice. Even more fun...let's take all the teams that will make the BCS bowls and think on some of the GREAT teams they've lost to.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 ASU is going to win so their Fiesta Bowl hopes are still alive. My gut feeling is LSU will be #2 tomorrow. I think the Coaches and whoever the hell the Harris poll voters are will see that as the most fair thing to do, if there is such a thing as "fair" when it comes to declaring I-A National Champion. Because of the whole "Well we never lost in regulation" nonsense? A loss is a loss. It's not like the NFL where the first team to score wins it all. Both teams are given a chance to win and LSU blew it twice.
Nate Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 A playoff system would be good, but I just love clusterfucks just as much

Voters won't put Georgia in over LSU since LSU won the SEC while Georgia didn't even win the SEC East. 2. Voters won't put V-Tech in over LSU since LSU spanked them like 41-10 earlier this year. The only teams I see as possibilities besides LSU are Oklahoma and USC, and each has at least one loss to a sub-500 team. (Oklahoma to Colorado and USC to Stanford)
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Oklahoma - 38 Mizzou - 17 damn. not even close.
iggymcfly Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 LSU's getting a huge push from ESPN/ABC. Honestly, I think without that, we'd be looking at Ohio State/Georgia, but all the voters that haven't watched football all year should be talked around pretty easily. Yeah, I think LSU probably does get it now, but it's still going to be really close, as the computers will have Georgia ahead of them. Oklahoma's clearly the best team in the country though. Missouri would be the undisputed #1 if they'd only had to play the Sooners once and OU's beating them for the second time, this time in an utter demolition. They only lost to Texas Tech because their QB was hurt and are playing much much better football than LSU right now.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Oklahoma had the more impressive game. They should go in over LSU, and I hate Oklahoma just as much as I do LSU.
Danville_Wrestling Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Oklahoma had the more impressive game. They should go in over LSU, and I hate Oklahoma just as much as I do LSU. Yea, I'm not a big fan of either team but I enjoy seeing Oklahoma play more than LSU whose "go for it on fourth downs" annoy the crap out of me (although that fake FG earlier this year against SC was fun to watch). That said, LSU is probably going to the national title game because Les Miles is the media's new favorite coach and they've been pushing LSU hard all year long. I'll laugh my ass off, though, tomorrow if we get some shocker at the BCS selection show and end up with Ohio State vs. Kansas or something.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Mark Richt is pleading his case to ESPN on Sportscenter. EDIT: Or at least he was going to.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 I say put Oklahoma in. JR would be happy.
teke184 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 Mark Richt is pleading his case to ESPN on Sportscenter. Mark, you lost to South Carolina and Tennessee, badly I might add on the latter one. LSU beat both teams and won the SEC. Thank you, next please.
SilverPhoenix Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 I'm done with this circus. Time for some Basketball.
