NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

[The Insider]

Oh OU was who I was hoping to win, look back I wanted Tech and Texas out, because I figured my gators and Bama would have a better shot at winning against OU


Texas needs to become MIZZ fans real fast. Hope for the upset. Texas vs Bama or Texas vs FLA would be better then OU vs either. OU vs either would likly be a complete route of OU as they facesome of the nations best defense, and some very fast offense.

Or it could be a shootout.

Remember the last time Florida faced a midwestern team that was hyped up as having an unstoppable offense?

I dont understand though how Texas goes up after beating a 4-7 Texas AnM and FLA Drops a spot after beating #15 FSU at home?


Was that Nebreska? Dam they were bad ass during the mid 90s

Yes.

Just wondering, but how old are you to remember the Spurrier era?

Does this whole Oklahoma/Texas BCS brouhaha remind anyone of what happened with Miami and Florida State in 2000 (Canes beat FSU, but Seminoles play in title game, and lose to- irony of ironies- Oklahoma!)

Yes.

Im 26, and was only a kid in the 90s but I followed CFB pretty well during the time. FSU, FLA, Nebreska, OK, and Tenn were fun teams to watch.

Remember what was in 1996 when FSU Beat UF in regular play, but then UF beat FSU in the title game.

Kinda..but not really at present time. If OU wins out and gets the title shot, then I see your point.

The whole b12 tie-breaker is just that, a tie breaker for a 3-WAY tie in the conference. That is the part that matters.....not just comparing OU and Texas H2H, but Texas tech as well. Thats really the only justification I can see with OU going to KC.

It may need to be looked at again next week. Bama win and they are in, period. The same should be said for Florida.

Its after the B12 title game where voters are going to have to look at OU and Tex H2H. I think that is when you really have to look at H2H between the 2 schools.

Florida should be in if they win.......but is there a possiblity of a OU/Tex title game?

Would the computers give FL enough love to jump OU and/or Tex?

Winner of SEC title game should be in hands down IMO...but depending on how both title games play out, I am just wondering if it will play out that way.

 

[scottc98]

Remember what was in 1996 when FSU Beat UF in regular play, but then UF beat FSU in the title game.

Remember, this is pre-B10/Pac-10 inclusion.

two years later, that would have been FSU and ASU playing for the title.

 

[vurbano]

The voters are the ones who lust after OU's style points.

One play at the end of the Texas Texas Tech game gets stopped and they are #1 or undisputed #2. Instead they get leap frogged by a team they beat straight up on a neutral field. Gotta love the BCS.

I am glad someone finally said this. Of course it had national title implications but this was a three way tie breaker and everyone kept throwing Tech out and making it an OU/Texas head to head decision. This was a decision for a Conference title involving 3 teams, it just so happens 2 of those teams are in National Title contention. I think they need to go to a point differential or something involving all 3 teams common opponents instead of allowing people from other conferences to make a decision for the Big 12.

Scout.com: Cowboys vs. Ducks in Holiday Bowl?

osu1991, better pack your bags for San Diego!

 

[ronjohn]

ESPN now finally states that the SEC has two great teams, a couple of good teams, and not much else. Why did that take so long. After hearing that the SEC teams only lose because the conference is so strong top to bottom for almost four months, they finally started to look at the OOC games this year.

Even Sagarin has the SEC ranked as the third overall conference.

Florida beating Bama by 30? Hart, you must be smoking some pretty strong narcotics....but anyway, you can't run up the score when you're losing, so no criticism of Meyer and the "let's impress the moronic voters" mentality. Seriously, you need to learn what wins games and championships in college football before you start believing the misguided media hype. History shows the future. Maybe with a month off, your Gators can recover enough to win the Sugar Bowl.

 

[kev1782]

And Oklahoma getting placed ahead of Texas is an atrocity. One dimensional teams without a defense will never win a championship. It'll be another BCS face plant for the Sooners, if they handle their business with Missouri. Which, the last couple of years, has been hard for most teams to do late in the season.

20-6 vs Tulane
17-14 vs Kentucky
27-21 vs Lsu
41-30 vs Ga

I am impressed.

They won an actual national title 2 years ago, so I believe Florida knows how to do it. Your comment is comical, and shows your lack of knowledge.

I know when you lose next week and win the sugar, you guys will calim some bogus Tuscaloosa bang your sister times national title like usual.

 

[kev1782]

12-0 is impressive, thanks for proving my point, Hart. But really, both of your national championships have been after having to beg for a chance to play for it. Remember '96, after losing to Florida State, and begging to play them again?? Remember how in '06, Meyer spent 2 weeks screaming at the top of his lungs about the BCS?? You're right, your 2 national championships against our 12 isn't relevant. Try going undefeated every once in a while, it helps not to have to rely on whining and crying to get into the championship games. But I digress. All of those scores that you so ardently point to were Bama victories. I wish I could say the same for the Gators....

You have 7, I knew you would throw the BS ones in there. And not have won one in 16 years.

This isn't whites only football, anymore, Florida's athletes will dominate Alabama Saturday.

 

[kev1782]

And you have the audacity to bring up the '06 Gators, yet criticize Alabama for close games...? Circular logic is just dumb. In '06 your mighty Gators beat Tennessee by 1 point, lost to Auburn, beat Georgia by 7, beat Vanderbilt by 6, beat South Carolina by 1 on a blocked extra point and a blocked field goal as time expired, and beat Florida State by 7. Now, I'm sure you were saying that Florida wasn't really that good because of those close games that year, right? You were holding those close games against your team that year, correct? I mean, they only won those games by *gasp* a handful of points each time. Imagine that!

 

[kev1782]

7?? You are ignorant. You must be from Florida, that inability to count might explain Meyer's need to run up scores....he doesn't know how many he needs. You do realize that split national titles count...they didn't take those polls because they had nothing better to do. And we aren't even including the ones in the 60's and 70's that Alabama was screwed out of. Yes, my little jealous Gator fan, the number is 12....for another 5 weeks.
