WTF happened?

Now we have to hear praises about USC for the rest of the year. Guess it's up to Notre Dame to shut this noise up.

FUCK USC.   FUCK NOTRE DAME.  FUCK COLLEGE FOOTBALL.  AND FUCK COLLEGE REFEREES.

Lol...it was the refs.

Otherwise it would have been much closer than 35-3?

Seriously, fuck the polls.  My ranking system is still a couple weeks away due to the sheer amount of cupcake scheduling.  I have a handful of teams on the watch list.  These teams will be ranked in two weeks if they are still undefeated:

Oklahoma
Oregon
Penn State
Southern Cal

These teams will be ranked even though they are in weird conferences:

Brigham Young
East Carolina
Utah

Once these teams play more quality opponents, they can be ranked:

Alabama
Missouri
Notre Dame
South Florida

What?

Auburn 3 Miss State 2

Other teams that finish Sept undefeated may enter the rankings.

Since "the regular season IS the playoffs," teams that lose may not be ranked.  However, like college baseball, the playoffs will be double elimination.  A loser's bracket of one loss teams will be formed at some point, probably the end of October.

There was even some comment that if OSU had BEAT USC, and Georgia didnt win convincingly, then USC still would have been #1. Imagine that, a 1 loss team above many undefeated teams. I would have motherfucking burned down LA times, and ESPN headquarters if that shit happened.

I was expecting at least a good entertaining game. Sorry OSU dropped the ball for me, didn't even enjoy watching the game. Now I have to listen to USC crap for rest of season until SEC gets to own them.

Too much inter-conference talent, and not enough out of conference games. Our SEC will end up eating itself out of top spots.

Go Broncos

Go Vandals...


...yeah, I know my team sucks.  But at least it's a real school and not a big junior college.  Bwahaha!

Man, get that trash out of here.  What do those jokers know, it's not like they write about sports for a living.

The refs did not cost OSU the game but they sure as hell didn't help it any.

My only solace is that Michigan looked foolish, but even that is bitter sweet.

This is how we finished up the night after the game.

Go Bucks!

Thompson. Water. Seal.

What a miserable performance.  I saw that shit coming though.  This isn't the best crew OSU has fielded and it showed.  Dropped passes, missed tackles, an O-Line that couldn't protect a painfully sluggish quarterback.  There's always next year.

lmaos

That recycle sign needs to be over the toilet as well.

no worries we dont waste, i recycled what was left on Sunday morning. the alcohol and about 2 bottles of water.

Welcome to the Losers' Bracket:  Oregon, East Carolina, Notre Dame, and Auburn!

Night asked me what my rankings are.  Well, that's still a week off, but here are the 27 contestants:

Alabama
Ball State
Boise State
BYU
Colorado
UConn
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
LSU
Minnesota
Missouri
Nebraska
Northwestern
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Penn State
South Florida
USC
Texas
TCU
Texas Tech
Tulsa
Utah
Vandy
Wake Forest
Wisconsin

The picture will clear up a lot after this week.  For starters, Alabama plays Georgia and OU plays TCU.  Several other undefeated schools will pick up common opponents.  That is, they will have some common opponents to compare provided they remain undefeated. 

Most likely to be knocked out:
Alabama or Georgia (game of the year so far, apologies to Auburn and LSU) hard to call, but we know one of them has to lose.  Unless there's a sudden hurricane.
TCU
UConn
Minnesota (happy, C-bus?)
Nebraska
Northwestern

Although, if I had to name a top 10 undefeated teams right now (just for Night):

1   LSU              defending champs until Florida knocks them off.  or Georgia.  or Alabama
2   Florida          played some decent teams, didn't let them score
3   Alabama       trouble with Tulane, crushed the other 3 teams they played. if they beat Georgia they may get on a roll
4   Georgia        still have to play LSU Fla Bama Auburn Tenn Kentucky Vandy Georgia Tech...ouch
5   USC              will finish the year in the top 2 MOST LIKELY, meanwhile LSU has played more games despite a hurricane
6   Penn State   destroying underwhelming competition by halftime
7   Oklahoma     same as Penn State
8   Missouri        insane amounts of offense
9   BYU               same as Penn State
10 Wisconsin     because I have to put another team in the top 10

My prediction right now is that USC beats Oklahoma for the title while a one loss Alabama or Florida and maybe even an undefeated Penn State or Wisconsin miss out on the title game.  (A four team playoff would result in the SEC champ knocking off USC, but who wants to watch USC crush Wisconsin and an SEC team beat Bob Stoops when we could watch Alabama destroy BYU and Ohio State lose to LSU or Florida.  Again.)  Actually, Penn State and Wisconsin are probably not that good.  Still waiting for Ohio State to actually show up for a game.  If that happens by that Wisconsin game, maybe OSU still wins the Big Ten.  Show me something.  Meanwhile the Big 12 has played NO ONE.  Does Illinois count?  Well, this week they get Va Tech and Fla St. 

Really, of the teams I listed, USC and Alabama impress me the most so far. 

LOL, nm.

Well first off, isn't it a bit silly to downrank a team based on the fact that they WILL play tough teams?  I thought rankings were supposed to be based on who they DID play.  Anyway, your list of Georgia's remaining games is exactly why USC doesn't really deserve a high ranking, they play a chump (but in-conference) schedule.  Georgia plays five or more ranked teams every year and STILL gets at least as good of a record as USC.  So why is USC ranked so strongly?  Rose Bowl.  That's it.

Hmm, my comment about Georgia is a little unfortunate in that it reflects nothing about why I ranked them there.  It was simply an observation.  Late in the season, I will almost certainly have Georgia ranked very favorably due to their schedule.

After running my analysis, I determined Florida's crushings of Miami and Tennessee put them ahead of Alabama's crushings of Clemson and Arkansas.  I had both these teams ahead of Georgia based on the overall quality of their wins.  (Compare the numbers in Georgia's wins over SC and ASU.)  As for LSU being number 1, I admit to falling back to an argument not based on any analysis of this year's teams.  They are the defending champs (of the SEC and the "best two teams in the BCS").  They have also beaten Auburn in Auburn.  It's sort of hard to tell which SEC team should be ranked where until they play.  The important thing is that the SEC looks good and deep this year.  Penn State and USC were looking good as far as the results of the games played so far.  Of course, USC blew that against OSU.  The Big 12 teams have done well so far also, especially Oklahoma.  It's a little hard to compare the schedules, though.  (By the way, I threw out games against FCS teams.)  Let's see how Penn State does against Illinois.  Then we can at least compare them to Missouri.

Oh, ad we can compare Georgia and Alabama tomorrow as well.
