Really wish Bama could have played OSU or Oregon. That would have been intriguing.

I was thinking the same thing. I think a Bama-Oregon would have been great fun.

 

[palinurus]

I heard Lax say Michigan got snubbed from the Gator Bowl with Georgia and will play KS St instead. But I don't know who's in the Gator Bowl; assume it's still UGa.

 

[palinurus]

Ohio State: Still Overrated at #7

 

[palinurus]

Ohio State vs Clemson in a BCS game. Each team has beaten only one ranked team, and each of those two teams are barely top 25.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Think it kind of sucks U$C finished 25 in the BCS and we didn't. Oh well....

 

[returnofthemack]

I was thinking the same thing. I think a Bama-Oregon would have been great fun.

I might be in the minority here, but I think that would be a massacre. Here's my rationale: Stanford has figured out the gameplan to shut down Oregon. Do you really think Saban couldn't figure their scheme out with a month to prepare? The man knew our plays and tendencies so well that his players knew what we would do before our players did. Oregon would get schooled.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Oregon v. Texas = Biggest Alamo Bowl Ever

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Massacre is EXACTLY why I wanted it. Oregon and OSU have two of the most outspoken fan bases. Would be nice to see them taken down another peg.

 

[peoriairish]

Bama/Okie will be a good one.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

I'll throw this in here too since the thread I put it in will be buried soon: FSU -9.5 is the early line.

*Same site has it at FSU -8 now

 

[returnofthemack]

Massacre is EXACTLY why I wanted it. Oregon and OSU have two of the most outspoken fan bases. Would be nice to see them taken down another peg.

haha yeah good point. That would be glorious. It would have been great to see michigan get smoked by UGA.

 

[IrishLax]

Think it kind of sucks U$C finished 25 in the BCS and we didn't. Oh well....

Yay political coaches poll.... what a joke that thing is.

 

[IrishLax]

Bama/Okie will be a good one.

In the sense that Oklahoma will lose by 35?

You may be right, but I wanted to see the Oregon speed against the SEC. Oregon-Texas, if that's what we get, doesn't do much for me.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

As long as Stoops turns into Popeye again at some point during the game:

 

[IrishSteelhead]

I quit. My embedding abilities fucking suck. Here's the link:

Bob Stoops Is Popeye

 

[palinurus]

Coaches Poll: Do you guys think coaches watch a lot of football (besides film prep involving their own team and their own team's opponents)? Because some of those votes are just mind numbing, even setting aside the political votes.

 

[palinurus]

Fricking Lou

 

[ACamp1900]

These guys freaking invented college football...

No hope...

@nofreakinghope

 

[peoriairish]

In the sense that Oklahoma will lose by 35?

I dunno. They played OkSU well. It's probable that OU will lose, but it might go further in dispelling the SEC powerhouse ideology.

 

[NCND]

Wonder what snarky remarks they gonna make about the ND/Rutgers game. Lol

 

[palinurus]

Clemson can torch the depressed Ohio State defense.

 

[IrishLax]

Fricking Lou

?

 

[palinurus]

?

That was a comment of affection. I love the guy.

 

[IrishLax]

Clemson can torch the depressed Ohio State defense.

Yeah but OSU will torch them right back. This bowl is officially the Overrated Bowl.

 

[IrishLax]

I love the guy.

What he do?

 

[palinurus]

What he do?

Nothing. Just being himself. I love to listen to him.

 

[AKRowdy]

Yeah but OSU will torch them right back. This bowl is officially the Overrated Bowl.

I don't know! I know MSU's defense is better than Clemsons but I think they may have shown a way to stop Braxton. Stuff the middle of the field. Plus when they go empty back field everyone knows it's gonna be a QB scramble!
