Scheduling tougher opponents for Boise.. is not so easy. The big schools don't want to schedule "home and homes" with "smaller" schools (except occasionally for Hawaii) -- particularly the traditionally good ones who might beat them.

I am all for a playoff.. but, if the Gators win 2 in a row, I"m still getting a (mythical) National Championship polo, tee and cap (LOL!). P.S: The Patriots beat the Giants in the regular season last year. Point being: the only way to determine the true champion is a playoff. The winner...

Here is how I view the BCS... In 2006, Florida won the 1st of 2 NCAA basketball championships. If NCAA hoops picked a champion the same way as the BCS does, the national title game would have been Duke v. Gonzaga, 2 teams that did not even make the Final Four. Florida was ranked 3rd in the...

Thanks for the Correction.. Oops!!!!!!!!!!! It was the Fiesta bowl, but OSU beat Miam!!!!!!!!! Ohio State has been very good to my school (UF). In 1997, it beat Arizona State in the Rose Bowl to set UF up to win the national championship. OSU beat the Canes in the Fiesta Bowl title game...

To Sandra.. I am not a hero worshipper of Tressel and I see way too much college football to make my wife happy. I went to Florida. My wife went to Michigan. The comments above say it all. Ohio State had trouble moving the ball before Pryor took over. Ohio State held a very high scoring Penn...

Disappearing Scars.. " Being a Florida grad, I do not have the mental scars. I do recall Florida had their own Moby Dick- winning in Tallahassee, which they didn't do for a while before they eventually do it." Those scars disappeared when Florida beat FSU to win the 1997 title, 52-30...

Wow, Bashing Tressel.. 1 national championship and 2 consecutive title game appearances doesn't get him a pass? As I recall, Ohio State hired Tressel because they couldn't beat Michigan. Tressel turned that series completely around and everyone is turning on him because he (finally) is...

Thanks.. JonUrban, for your nice words. I agree with you, too and have always believed that it is useful to play starters the last week to keep them sharp. It is also important for the integrity of the game, which is why I respect what Coughlin did. When Don Shula had his Super Bowl teams...

Tyree was MVP.. He caught a TD pas, and likely, w/o that amazing catch, the population of Perfectville would be 2.

Things run in cycles... The Dolphins have an unbeaten season and this year almost went winless.The Gators were down in basketball when I went there and dregs later; now they are two time defending champions (when did we become Duke?). The Gators football team went 0-10-1 in 1979; now they have...

Agreed... on Peyton's advice.

If you follow the AFC East closely... you would be aware Brady's worst games (until this season) were against Miami and the Giants obviously looked at that film or came up with a plan similar to Miami's plann. Their defense is built like Miami's was before last year. Like Miami (Taylor &...

There is too much name calling... in these posts. The Stingley/Tatum discusssion, the seterotyping of sports fans and the personal attacks are unseemly. If you cannot discuss issues without calling each other names, it weakens your position. Maybe the pressure of being unbeaten got to New...

Comparisons to the Bills and Vikings... are wrong. The Brady-Pats are 3-1 in 4 Super Bowls over the last 7 years. The organization is 3-2 in 5 Super Bowls over 12 years. The Vikes and Bills each lost 4 Super Bowls. If they never win another Super Bowl, the core of the Pats will be...

NE has repeated.. They won SB 38 & 39; still, I don't agree that defending a championship is a prerequisite to being called a dynasty. however, having a repeat championship and sustained excellence certainly qualifies. Like it or not-- this franchise is a dynasty and they have established...

The Pats Place in History.. The Pats are the 4th NFL team to come to the NFL title game unbeaten in any era. The teams are 1-3. Only Miami won. NE was the second team in the Super Bowl era. The Cleveland Browns went unbeaten in the AAFC, then came into the NFL and won titles there...

Culpepper & Moss.. Culpepper blew out his knee 2 years ago and doesn't have near the mobility he had before he was hurt. Ciulpepper is not the same player. The "Moss didn't try" in Oakland argument is wearisome. I don't buy it. His quarterbacks there were awful. I am no Pats fan; in fact...

Brady won.. Super Bowls with some of the mediocre receivers above. Let's see Manning win another one without Harrison, Wayne and Clark. As for youargument that you dont think that Brady makes these guys better, look at Moss with the Raiders. Your statistical references (which I dont have...

Last night, Brady handled.. the pressure, receivers dropping passes and the inability of the Pats short yardage running game to get first downs. It makes you wonder how he shared QB duties with anyone at Michigan. He is an all time great-- in my view, the best I have ever seen. He...

Disagree The Niners had Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Roger Craig. Marino had Duper and Clayton and little running game. The Colts had Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. I think it is even more remarkable that the Pats are winning despite the lack of a running game. When you cant run, you have...

To Cranked: "They won the SB against the Rams with great defense. Had the Rams scored as many points as they were all year, I am sorry, but Brady and the boys werent going to keep up." RESPONSE: THE PATS TOOK A NICE LEAD IN THAT GAME AND WENT CONSERVATIVE. THE RAMS TIED WITH A MINUTE LEFT...

The point was... The last minute drives in the Super Bowl. Brady elevated the Pats. I agree that the pats offenses were not great. The Dolphins used to routinely stuff them un Miami (mainly b/c Jason taylor killed their OL). But, Brady got them to the playoffs and has won 3 Super Bowls...

As for Cranked.. You ad hominem attack is pathetic. I saw Montana win 2 Super Bowls in person; I saw Elway, Farve.. all of them. And I saw them play in person. I also saw John Unitas in his prime and Bart Starr (hardly anyone mentions him any more) in his prime in person (Super Bowl II!)...

'72 Dolphins; Marino & the Bears! Some quick notes on all of the above: My guess is that most of you did not see the 1972 Dolphins and your opinions are what you read. I heard Jimmy Johnson call them "1 Year wonders" and noone addressed the comment above that the Dolphins were great for 1...

Agrred... that people who criticize Dan Marino are idiots. How many 51-45 games can you lose? How maNY TIMES CAN YOU COMEBACK IN THE 4TH QUARTER, ONLY TO SEE THE OPPONENT DRIVE THE OTHER WAY AGAINST YOUR OWN CRAPPY DEFENSE. I am a Dolphin fan since 1966. But, Brady is the best I have ever...
