Kansas reverting to form
 
they are done...

Cannon Shell 11-24-2007 08:25 PM

And I have no doubt that Hawaii could beat either of these 2 teams...

The Bid 11-24-2007 08:28 PM

I agree with you Cannon, not real impressed. Hopefully the Buckeyes can back in and drill WVU

ALostTexan 11-24-2007 08:30 PM

Very, very ugly. On the other hand, WVU looked pretty damn good...

I would much rather see OSU/WVU than either of these 2 teams again.

The Bid 11-24-2007 08:34 PM

This is the first time Ive seen these two teams play football, Im used to these two squaring off at hoops. Seeing a #2 and #4 next to their names just doesnt look right.

the big 8 still belongs to oklahoma and texas.
CS, just in case, i made some phone calls to rent an RV to follow you on your walk to ku to buy those cheeseburgers.:D

Give it to Oklahoma.
Texas, as much as it pains me, does not deserve any bowl bid.
We suc.

Maybe the offensive line and defensive secondary solidify next year.
We have a QB, we have a RB, we got a slew of WR's.

Sadly, ATM will be better now that the Fran Man is gone.

Just off the top of my head what about this 16 team playoff
1. WVU vs 16. S. FL (revenge game for only WVU loss)(Outback Bowl)
2. Mizzou vs. 15.Tennessee (Big 12 vs. SEC)(Peach/Chik Fil a Bowl)
3. Ohio St vs. 14. Illinois (revenge game for OSU loss)(Gator Bowl)
4. Georgia vs. 13. Arizona State (SEC vs Pac 10)(Sun Bowl)
5. LSU vs. 12. Boston College (former number 1 vs. former number 2)(Alamo Bowl)
6. USC vs. 11. Hawaii (Best team? vs. unbeaten team)(Holiday Bowl)
7. Va Tech vs. Kansas (overrated ACC team vs overrated Big 12 team)(Capital One Bowl))
8. Oklahoma vs. Florida (Big 12 vs Heisman winner)(Cotton Bowl)

Potential 2nd round matchups
WVU vs Oklahoma (Orange Bowl) or if there are upsets S. FL vs FL (how big of an Orange Bowl would that be?)
Mizzou vs Va Tech (Fiesta Bowl) or Mizzou vs Kansas rematch
Ohio State vs USC (Rose Bowl) Traditional matchup
Georgia vs LSU (Sugar Bowl) What should have been the SEC title game

Potential semi finals (Final 4)
WVU vs LSU or FL vs LSU rematch (or what a game WVU vs FL would be)
Mizzou vs Ohio State (for the Bid)

Final
WVU vs Ohio State

I guess we may get without my playoff scenario

Funny how good of a coach Mack Brown was with Vince Young and how bad is he without him...

I was going to make a big bet on Mizzou but EVERYBODY picked them. Sat it out. I wish i had a cheeseburger right about now.

Danzig 11-24-2007 09:08 PM

there are 64 bowl slots, with 5 and 6 record teams either on the bubble, or bowl eligible. this system is a ridiculous joke. too many bowl games out there.

they need to re do the system, with top teams playing other top teams all year. to hell with this playing four or five tougher teams, and padding the win stats ( unless you're 'bama vs la-monroe!!:rolleyes: ) with games vs much lesser opponents....thus assuring a bowl bid.

btw, when did 'FBS' replace 1-a? and now 2-a is 1-a....i guess i slept thru that change...

because everyone knew what kansas wanted to deny, they have played weak teams all year. i even picked lee corso picking mizzou...

Mack Brown has never been a good coach.
He is a good guy and a great recruiter.
In fact Brown may be the best recruiter in the country.

When Texas lost their D-coor. the tackling became girly-man wrestling.
Last year Texas was fine until McCoy got injured. (overrated but fine)
Texas needs a defensive coordinator as good as we had.

The Bid 11-24-2007 09:14 PM

Cannon thanks for the OSU fictional playoff run. I wish the college game had a system along those lines.

pgardn 11-24-2007 09:21 PM

Ohio State has been the most consistent team.
But their loss at home against Illinois was a clean butt whipping.
Every team looks vulnerable... which is cool.

actually, every team has acted as tho they don't want to be the #1 team. can't remember the last time it was this up in the air week after week.

The Bid 11-24-2007 09:26 PM

OSU's loss at home to Illinois was disgusting

Very Copperesque

That was the killer...I figured after he picked them there was no way they could carry that much weight. I have done very well lately (including betting the under in the Hawaii/Boise St last night. What were the odds going into the 3rd quarter that game wasn't going over? 20-1?) I decided not to press my luck. You know how weak Kansas schedule is? Not only have they not lost, they are 10-0 vs the spread. Until tonight.

p.s. sorry about the redboard.
