Rutgers #6 in the BCS

Geez this is turning out to be an awesome thread. I am a Penn State and Pitt fan. Both are having off years. Hard to repeat what Penn State did lasyt year. Wannstadt is ruining Pitt, just like he did to the Dolphins. I hope his time will be very soon. If Notre Dame beats USC it will be very interesting to see who plays the winner of the Ohio State-Michigan game. Rumor going around that if its close there could be a rematch. Personally I dont see it happening. More reason why there needs to be some kind of playoff in division 1A football. I am sure that if there was a playoff system a team or two that was left out would be ranting and raving about being left out.

I agree with that statement, a playoff system in college football is badly needed. It would be the only way to make everyone happy, and then no team feels screwed and left out. I hear people saying that if ND runs the table, and Ohio State beats Michigan it will be a shame if ND jumps Michigan and makes the National Title game. I agree with that, but does anyone remember 1993? I was to young to remember, but I hear how bad it was. Notre Dame beat the #1 team Florida State, then lost the next week to Boston College and who was chosen to play for the National Title, you guessed it, Florida State. So eventhough I think it wouldn't be fair for ND to jump Michigan, it would in a way make things better for ND fans who had to go through the same thing in 93.

GO IRISH!!!!

FSU is one of the only teams that I absolutely LOATHE. It makes me grin cheek to cheek seeing them do as poorly as they are doing this season.

Jaime,

Be careful of Bobby Bowden in an underdog role

Most of the games they have lost this year they have been favored

Last year they upset Va Tech as a double digit dog in the ACC game, then almost won the Orange Bowl against PSU

Bowden is his best when he is and UNDERDOG - which he will be against FLA in a couple of weeks

Martin, I'm about as scared of FSU beating us as I was of Alabama beating the Tigahs... NOT AT ALL. I think that Florida will be ready for FSU. In fact, I'm more scared of losing to Western Carolina next weekend than I am of losing to FSU.

Fun with computer rankings:

The Colley Matrix (used in the BCS) has a cool feature where you can add and subtract games to see how they would change the rankings. Adding Rutgers over WV, Rutgers over Cincy, and Ohio St over Michigan would make Rutger #1 and Ohio St #2. However, also adding Rutgers over Syracuse would drop Rutgers to #2. So Rutgers would be better off in the computer polls not playing Syracuse than by beating them 177-0.

The dream is ending tonight it seems.

20-3 in the 3rd quarter. Feeling ill.
