So I guess a pretty good West Virginia team is just chopped liver compared to that tremendous Auburn team.
It's weird. If you told me at the start of the year we'd be in the Rose Bowl I'd say we had a good season. Naturally I'm disappointed we lost, I think more so that we lost to the damn bRuins than the fact that it ruined out MNC hopes.
I wonder how USC fans will turn out for the Rosebowl. Two straight years, third in the last 4, second against Michigan. Could be either really good or really bad. My roommate said he doesn't want to go because he hates the stadium and the parking situation or something.
As for the rest, I want the Pac 10 to run the table. I want BSU to finish undefeated. I want the SEC to lose all their bowls except against ND who I want to see blown out.
That's all I ask, if it's not too much.

****!
God, it was just leaked that Cincy is announcing CMU's coach, Brian Kelly, as their head coach tomorrow at 4pm.
Man, I'm glad he got us out of the cellar but I'm pissed that he didn't wait til after our bowl game to announce his departure, ESPECIALLY since Cincy already has a coach in place. Now, as it is, I hope to God our AD doesn't let Kelly coach the bowl game. Cincy's AD has already released a statement confirming it, too.

Auburn has had an up and down year, but they still beat the two best teams in the SEC (Florida and LSU). Based on the current BCS standings, NO TEAM has two more impressive victories. They are definitely a better team than Notre Dame.
I didn't see the OP calling out WVU.

It was an implicit calling out, unless he just forgot about them.
Not denying Auburn has impressive wins, and does deserve it over ND. However, I see no reason why West Virginia doesn't have just as strong a case as Auburn. I mean, they might not have wins as impressive as Auburn, but they didn't get routed by a team like Georgia routed Auburn.

I think Rutgers has a good shot of keeping Schiano.
Only jobs that concern me are Penn State & NFL openings.

I can't blame Kelly for taking the job. I'm just pissed that for the past week, after Iowa State hired Chizik over Kelly, Kelly swore up and down that he wanted nothing to do with leaving CMU. Then he jumps on the first ticket out of town. I really hope he doesn't coach the bowl game.Cyan said:That's crap. At least it gives you more time to search for a replacement.
It's funny, I'd become convinced that the Stanford coach (Walt Harris) would be the next Cincy coach. Well, we'll see where he ends up.
Any bets on whether Schiano sticks around at Rutgers? I'm actually going to say yes, for the same reason that Tedford stuck around at Cal despite the huge offers. Rutgers has been down for a long time, but being in a BCS conference makes all the difference. They were on the verge of a BCS bowl this year (hell, there was even talk of the title game) which would be almost unthinkable at a non-BCS school that hadn't been at least somewhat prominent already. Building a powerhouse program at Rutgers is within the realm of possibility. I think he may well stick around and try to see it through.
Sorry myke.
Personally, I think a GREAT candidate for CMU would be John L Smith. We have to remember that he practically built the current Louisville team. Everything that team does now was started by John L Smith, so it's not like he can't handle a smaller program. Plus being an hour north of Lansing will get him out of the limelight and stress that comes with being U of M's bitch. We already run a spread offense with a QB that's a lot like Drew Stanton.
I dunno. Maybe I'm on crack :lol
Oh, and I think Rutgers will keep Schiano. I think he's got that program now to a point where if he can go undefeated he has a case for a National Championship appearance.
Yeah, I'm thinking Schiano stays too. Queen's College seems to be giving him what he wants and while a job like Tha' U is a king maker he has the potential to become a college football legend in Jersey. How many people get the opportunity to establish a winning tradition at a university? Not too many in this day and age.
Wow. Supposedly there's talk about Jim Tressel being banned from voting in the Coaches Poll ever again because he refused to vote this week.
Those assholes should be happy that he didn't vote. The guy clearly realized he couldn't honestly vote and decided to step out. Instead of respecting what the guy did as being commendable they want to punish him? That's bullshit.
I guess USA Today is really pissed though.

There is absolutley no way Notre Dame deserves a BCS bid. No. Way.

All I have to say is that Charlie Weiss will have to use bleach to get the dirt stains off his knees. Wisconsin was robbed. And the fact Notre Dame got an at-large bid with 2 losses over teams with better rankings, including Auburn who beat (albeit somewhat controversially) Florida, is absolutely unforgiveable. The BCS is a "Big Crock O' Shit".

Some explanations: I think OU should be the highest 2 loss team, considering, you know, we could be considered just a 1 loss team.
I have them ahead of LSU b/c of that and b/c OU is the big 12 champ. I think Michigan is better than Florida, but i have been swayed by the arguments that you should be a champion of your league and that they already had their chance; so Florida it is for me #2.
...and when in doubt, I put the champions of their league ahead of other similar rated teams. USC has 2 bad losses, it's time for everyone to realize they are nowhere near where they are rated; which is why i have them down @ 15. Lastly, I dropped TCU in there for threeball, just trying to throw him some rainbows and puppy dogs.

Our defense is pretty terrible but we do have an explosive offense. Woodson has really matured into a top tier QB and we have a number of talented RBs and receivers. Our defense has to contain Clemson's running attack or else we are going to be in for a long day.
Thankfully I'll be in the stands cheering for UK to win their first bowl game in what seems like ages.

Well good luck to the Gators.
And please please please LSU destroy Notre Dame.
I guess I'll just have to be happy playing in a crappy consolation bowl.

The Rose Bowl is overrated and it always has been. All it ever did was keep more Big Ten or Pac 10 schools from winning national titles and these days its nothing more than a glorified version of the Capital One bowl.
Cyan said:
I felt that Auburn beating both Florida and LSU was enough for me to put them in the top 10 even if I don't think they are a top 15 team. I will take the Wisconsin ranking since they really haven't played anyone except Michigan (which they lost). Wake lost to VT which is why I have them in front of them.
:lol I didn't put TCU in because a weak small private school that plays in a non BCS confrence isn't worthy of being with the big boys. Boise St gets a pass because they are undefeated and BYU won a title once so they are somewhere in the middle.
I picked Georgia instead of TCU just to piss off threeballz they should be in

Oh and if Lloyd Carr wants to be a top 5 team next year he better work his voodoo and talk Jake Long and Alan Branch into coming back next year.
Wow, holy shit. How did I not notice Cal are co-Pac-10 champions? Cyan had to have mentioned that, along with his undying hatred of the Stoops boy and the Mildcats. Well, at least the 30 years in the desert are finally over! I smell an end to the reign of the Evil Empire too.
Hey now, you don't talk shit on Tha' RB. That's our house!
