- Boing, on 11/03/2008, -1/+30Please no USC/OSU Rose Bowl. I understand the whole Pac10/BigTen thing... but we've already seen this game this year. I'd rather see USC play Texas, or Bama, or Florida, or Tech, or anyone else in the top 10.
- statusmalus, on 11/03/2008, -6/+29The fact that you don't know the difference between Ohio and Ohio State makes your opinions on college football worthless.
- aliengoods, on 11/03/2008, -4/+24The only team I see that gets no respect is Penn State.
- Morreti, on 11/03/2008, -2/+19Dugg for the optimistic Georgia Tech prediction. Go get em jackets!
- Vindicoth, on 11/03/2008, -1/+14I'm a Florida Fan (see avatar) but I don't know who's going to win the SEC Championship in an Alabama / Florida match up. I feel that the SEC Champion will be one of the contenders to the BCS Championship. I also feel that the SEC Championship is going to be a more exciting game than the BCS Championship. The best 1 loss team in the country (disputable, it could be texas now) VS the best undefeated team in the country? Awesome. I'd love to see Alabama or Florida go to the BCS National Championship to represent the SEC for the 3rd year in a row.
- dirtypenguin, on 11/03/2008, -1/+13Illinois at number 1? Michigan at number 2? What polls were you looking at?
- PGPirate, on 11/03/2008, -1/+12Im for anything that ***** the BCS even more.
BAN THE BCS - kingbinji, on 11/03/2008, -2/+13these projections don't mean anything...the only poll that matters is the one at the end of the season. there's a month of regular season college football left and ANYTHING can happen between now and then. just look at last year
- DetpackJump, on 11/03/2008, -0/+11Penn State also destroyed the team that beat USC
- gametavern, on 11/03/2008, -0/+10yup, texas had an uncharacteristically bad game on sat. They know that, which is why they're still at #4.
- DetpackJump, on 11/03/2008, -0/+10Penn State is paying for the sins of Ohio State
- daviddiaz, on 11/03/2008, -3/+12All that matters is that GA Tech beats UGA on Nov. 29th and regains its dignity.
- gfxlonghorn, on 11/03/2008, -2/+11They will lose to OSU or OU... they played better than us 2 days ago, but we will be consistently better by the end of the season I think.
- onlysc, on 11/03/2008, -3/+11GT/WVU could be interesting
- lawrenceboland, on 11/03/2008, -4/+12PENN STATE!!!
- robbh66, on 11/03/2008, -3/+11Tech is getting what it deserves. Year in year out Tech wins a lot of games, but year in and year out they always lose to someone they shouldn't. Granted, if they lose at this point it will be to a top 10 or the north champion, but now that they're number 2, they'll be ranked higher. Sure, they'll probably beat OSU this weekend but after that it's OU...in Norman. Stoops is like 59-2 there and they're probably still pissed after getting knocked off in Jones last year and a win means OU goes to the Big 12 championship.
- drstulsa, on 11/03/2008, -0/+8You're right, that was lucky for them to miss the game clinching field goal from 40 yards at the end of the third quarter. Good thing they were sacked for a 15 yd loss the previous play or that might have been an easier kick for the recent walk-on kicker.
I'm an OU fan, but you've got to give Tech some respect for the way they hung in there and finished the game with a W. - thegoldenavatar, on 11/03/2008, -1/+9It's also assuming Florida is going to beat an undefeated Alabama in the SEC championship game. As a Bama fan I'd obviously hate to see it, but ever since the loss to Ole Miss, Urban Meyer has got his team playing out of their minds.
On the other hand, I don't see Florida putting up as much against us as they have against LSU and Georgia, because our key to victory this year has been our more than solid running game, eating time off the clock in huge chunks. - kenyan, on 11/03/2008, -0/+7I'm pretty sure its because Florida has a better defense, and has a great record in the SEC. And the lambasting of LSU, UGA... Its a similar situation on how LSU got into the Championship Game after being #12.
- Dismember, on 11/03/2008, -3/+10That's a lot more respect than Tech deserves right now. There will be no BCS bowl game if the can't handle Oklahoma State this weekend, who is very very good, or Oklahoma, who is just short of great. That's a big if for the Red Radiers. Great win against Texas, but it was in Lubock not like Texas' win over Oklahoma in a neutral field. But, if the Raiders can go undefeated, they'll be in the championship game with no doubts! I hope it happens!
- Ljay90, on 11/03/2008, -2/+9To be fair, we all know he was talking about Ohio State, the only Ohio college football program worth mentioning.
- wild, on 11/03/2008, -3/+10I would rather see USC left out.
- tonytroz, on 11/03/2008, -2/+9Lets.. Go... P... S...U!!!
- longhorn627, on 11/03/2008, -1/+7Florida would rollll Tech.
- suprememilo, on 11/03/2008, -2/+8Tech doesn't have any respect to get, Texas A&M had them the first half, and Texas in the 2nd, they are gonna have to play 4 quarters to beat OU or OSU.
- MyCorona, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6Penn State has been tested once this year and they came out on top. Why is it their fault that this is the year that Michigan decides to suck and not make a bowl game for the first time in 33 years? Why is it their fault that Wisconsin and Illinois were overrated? They have met every challenge this year. They are the only team in the nation to have their defense and offense ranked in the top ten as of last week. They have talent coming out their ears. If they win out, they deserve a chance to play for the national championship.
- bigdc, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6Tech gets no respect? What about the #1 team in the nation Alabama?
And no respect for my Spartans, who have the last viable chance to knock off Penn State! (No offense to Iowa and Indiana.) - lawrenceboland, on 11/03/2008, -2/+8to who? Iowa? I'll eat my boxers if we do.
- Feanor, on 11/03/2008, -0/+6Actually, since the MAC is a non-BCS conference, thats about the best they can hope for...
The other choices being GMAC (vs C-USA) and International (vs. Big East). I'm sure they'd rather play another Big 10 school. - Takfam, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5I can't wait to fill out my tournament bracket and salute an undisputed national champion who went to the dance based on their record and not how much money their school makes for advertisers.
...oh, wait. - jpetrin, on 11/03/2008, -1/+6Actually, if Texas and OU win out, Texas goes to the Big 12 championship (identical records and Texas beat OU which is the tiebreaker).
You think Tech gets no respect? What about Alabama? - Jackson0909, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5You should realize that Bama will almost certainly be in the SEC Championship Game regardless of if they lose to LSU. Bama has to lose two of their last three (one of which has to be to LSU) for them not to go.
- 1gunners4, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Like win a National Championship? Then GaTech wins. :P
- airwalke, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Texas Tech will get the respect they deserve when they actually win out.
- drstulsa, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Actually, If OU and Texas win out, there is a possibility of OU going to the Big 12 championship. They would need Tech to only lose to OU and then be ahead of both Texas and Tech in the BCS. This is due to the three-way tie that would occur in this situation.
Just to answer the invariables questions.
Texas over OU
Tech over Texas
OU over Tech
All must have one conf loss for this to work. - Ljay90, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5Is it wrong for me to want another SEC vs. Big 10 title game?
- paynomind, on 11/03/2008, -0/+5...or, you could look up who actually owns the right to call themselves "Tech."
The only authorized use of Tech is for the Georgia Institute of Technology.
"Tech" is a registered trademark of Georgia Tech.
Argument settled. - mrm335, on 11/03/2008, -5/+9...PENN STATE
- TheMarksmen, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!
- NetierZero, on 11/03/2008, -1/+5That seems REALLY high for Tennessee. I honestly dont know if they will even get a bowl game...Personally I'm a Carolina fan and the Gamecocks in the Cotton Bowl with Texas would = a loss for them. Carolina's defense is very strong and their offense shows glimmers of dominance, but they aren't really any match for Texas.
- Fleagleman, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4This would be due to their guaranteed losses against either Oklahoma or Ok State...or probably both.
- lefthandpisces, on 11/03/2008, -1/+5hell yeah! Orange Bowl here we come!
- lefthandpisces, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4What's the good word?
- davewashere, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4Florida is also red hot right now, and if they win out they will be the top 1 loss team (especially since winning out also means winning a conference championship game against 'Bama).
- merher, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4Roll Tide baby! ill be back here celbrating with you treo after the celebration parties here at bama of course.
- joebaloney, on 11/03/2008, -3/+7Uh, if OSU gets to a BCS game something is wrong.
- fotoman, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4Will if Texas and OU win out, and Tech only looses to OU... it's a 3-way tie! So it would be the team that is ranked higher in the BCS after the last week of the season that would be the South Champion.
Tiebreaks 1,2,3 would all be the same as would 4 if they each only have 1 loss (to each other)

http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM ... - gooch3803, on 11/03/2008, -0/+4Im a UK fan, and i have to say that Florida has by far the strongest team in football, maybe in the past 10 years. The loss to Ole miss was a fluke, or maybe over confidence, but in no way represented the athleticism, talent, and ability of that football program. Ever since that ole miss game, you guys have stomped the ***** out of anyone that comes into your path and dont blame you for running up the score in any game, you have to show that you are that good to get back into contention. I have no doubt you will impose your will for the rest of the season.
- JeremyTTU, on 11/03/2008, -0/+3Tech is 7-0 against OSU at home...
- kidblast, on 11/03/2008, -7/+10We are...
