I'm assuming Florida/UGA was one of those games that CBS announced they would air before the season starts? If not, then lol at whatever fool chose that over Auburn/Ole Miss.

I guess because even though Florida sucks, it's still one of the top rivalries in CFB. Honestly, I'm surprised too.

I'm so shocked at this.

@Mark_Schlabach: Nathan Prince, the attorney for FSU RB Karlos Williams' pregnant girlfriend, said she asked TPD to stop pursuing the domestic assault case

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I'm so shocked at this.

Hopefully, that's because it didn't actually happen, though my fear is that it's related to approximately 800 million harrassing phone calls, messages, and death threats from fans, not to mention possible pressure from unnamed people associated with the university.

The PD there basically has to keep pursuing this to try and get their name out of the mud.

Good point.

... IIRC, UA administration held out effected players once the situation was known, but the enforcement of the NCAA governing body changes daily. At the time, Alabama "should have known."

No Florida/Georgia pick? I protest!

Pretty good article, this may blow up into a shit storm, especially if tonight goes a certain way.

It isn't really up to her, though an uncooperative victim basically kills the case.

Using Winston as an example of unfair scrutiny for non SEC teams is a bad example.

It's got to be the latter. I mean, yeah she could have made it up, but if she did, shouldn't post about it on social networks like she did.

The PD there basically has to keep pursuing this to try and get their name out of the mud.

They'll pursue it as far as they can but you heard her attorney, there are no witnesses. And if she's backing out there is no case. I'm no lawyer, but it seems like this is a dead end unless he confesses on his own or she changes her mind.

 

[Lunar15]

Holy fuck, I cannot believe Jimbo said that.

You gotta know when to shut your mouth, man.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Who's worse, FSU or ND?

This question would generate a hotter debate than the upcoming playoff poll.

One thing I liked about the BCS was that a major component, the computers, were unbiased. A committee is more prone to outside influences and its almost like ESPN is preying on that fact even more so

I've said this for a long time. Not everyone agrees, however.

Still, the computer runs on strength of schedule, which is kind of the main sticking point for these arguments, no?

What I'm saying is I'll be surprised if Florida makes a game of it.

yeah, until it becomes inconvenient to argue on strength of schedule (i.e. 2011), in which case, ???

also, "BCS Standings" (how do I make this thing formatted right in code)

But Michigan was going to make a game of it against Mich St?

Okay, I'll be honest.
Yahoo made me do it.

Yahoo would have gotten it right.

All good man. I don't have to pick against Florida again.



Oh the faux drama.

 

[bucknuticus]

looooool these rankings.

Miss St, FSU, Auburn, Ole Miss

 

[cashman]

What a joke lol

 

[pxleyes]

3 SEC teams. Ahahahahahahahahaha.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Barf

 

[Randolph Freelander]

No surprises. The SECW will sort itself out, but 3 in the top 4 as of right now is right in line with the polls.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Committee said screw Marshall.

And lol Ole Miss. I mean, what the hell.

 

[pxleyes]

Oh god I can't stop smiling. This is hilarious. Friends, football fans, send me your tears!!!

 

[bucknuticus]

Im anxious to see how the next rankings are. Are they going to do the dumb thing of current coaches/AP poll of where you can only move up if people lose? Or will we see significant shakeups?

[jjasper]

I actually don't really see anything wrong with that poll stuff will sort itself out starting this weekend with either ole miss of Auburn being eliminated.

 

[inm8num2]

Surprised at ND that low. I would have figured MSU at #10 as well.

 

[bucknuticus]

There should be reasoning released with these rankings. I would like to have audio from these just to hear what was said.

 

[pxleyes]

Really. Their schedule is shit.

Oregon has wins over 2 of the CFP's top 25 and has played 3. Ole Miss has 1 win and played 2. STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE THOUGH!

 

[Enfinit]

Nice touch the FSU vs. Louisville will be a top 25 matchup.

Every SEC game is a top 25 game.

 

[Yaboosh]

Auburn and Ole miss being in the top 4 is pretty funny.

 

[pxleyes]

No doubt. Nice little bump for ratings sake.

 

[Kevtones]

the cfb playoff committee is a cancer

 

[Affeinvasion]

Really. Their schedule is shit.

compared to who's schedule? Anyone who plays an FCS team has no leg to stand on.

I still don't understand why they threw the BCS out. They just needed to take the top 4 BCS teams and seed them 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 in the playoff.
