BCS rankings 2013

[GoldenToTheGrave]

I would love to see OSU get prison raped by FSU. OSU would get embarrassed.

I think he's trolling. He had another tweet toay that was out of control. I will look

Edit: It looks like he deleted it. I don't think he honestly believes this. I think he is just stirring the pot, which is its own issue since he's on ESPN

I realized that after I looked a few times at it and came to the conclusion he should be fired if he put UGA at 4 even with the other crazy placements.

Russillo and SVP are my favorite ESPN guys.

Having said that, he's completely oblivious to CFB if he's being serious.

You should reconsider having a "favorite" of any ESPN National show. They are all about misinformation for the sake of viewers.

Fact: If you know I'm going to stroke everything you believe or trash everything you hate then you will tune in. I present Paul Finebaum, who is now on ESPN, Colin Cowherd, First Take, etc...

 

[RallySonsOfND]

So if Auburn beats Mizzou, and FSU beats Duke, and EVEN if Ohio State beats Mich State, maybe the SEC and ACC coaches coalition rises up and votes one-loss Auburn over undefeated Mich State. That would be sweet.

QUE?

I don't go to ESPN for information at all, I just like Colin Cowerd's radio show, and especially SVP/Russillo's.

For instance, I think Colin is an idiot sometimes, but he's still fun to listen to. I call him out a lot on twitter:

@ESPN_Colin 2 months ago 'hoke is one year away from #michigan being power house. 'Kiffen is man for the job'. Face it, #CFB not your thing


@ESPN_Colin your #usc love never ends. Up to 2 months before kiffen fired, you loved him. Now you're hedging bet on Ed O in case he's stays


@ESPN_Colin and don't forget, 'Miami is an elite sports city' after #hurricanes interview. They can't get fans in the seats! Stick to NFL


@ESPN_Colin You also have about 500 tweets patting yourself on your back about the prediction. You must be new to being right.

You are a different person than me. I don't like to reward trolling and misinformation with a viewer. To each his own. They have huge audiences and me not listening isn't going to change shit


btw dude, we follow each other on Twitter. I've seen those tweets haha. Cheers

 

[IrishSteelhead]

New BCS is out. Sounds like Auburn didnt get close enough for a jump next weekend.

Lol, I know. I don't fault you for not giving Cowerd the time of the day, I just think his show/style is interesting, but I know he's wrong a lot. If you ever have time, I'd suggest giving SVP/Russillo a listen though. Their show is M-F, 12-3pm CST.

Really funny guys and SVP is one of the most likeable people in sports media IMO.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I hate Colin.

SVP, is the show I look forward to the most if I'm listening during the day. Not because of any knowledge, but the entertainment aspect. Its like a free style whatever goes type show.

I listen to them sometimes because SVP is a Terp and love him for it. SVP is also a huge golf buff and he knows his college hoops. But, they are given directives and I tend to tune out when the show becomes scripted. And they are funny

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Colin has grown on me.

SVP and Rusillo have an outstanding show. Smarter than most.

If I had an AP vote, I don't know that I'd have OSU higher than 7 or 8. Nobody can convince me they are that good. Maybe MSU can beat them next weekend and knock them out.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

I feel there is going to be some heavy movement from the Coaches of the ACC, B1G, and SEC next week.

 

[peoriairish]

Just to clarify, if tOSU doesn't make the NCG, but wins the B1G, they go to the Rose Bowl right? No way they play the #2 SEC team? I guess either ASU or Stanford would suffice.

 

[ACamp1900]

I haven't watched ESPN for anything other than live games in a good few years... Life is better now.

People were saying the same thing about ND last year...and they were probably right.

 

[ACamp1900]

I would have FSU and OSU far ahead of anyone honestly... And I'd have Bama behind OK St also... Enough with the SEC circle jerk already...

 

[RallySonsOfND]

People were saying the same thing about ND last year...and they were probably right.

Yes we had our escapes, but also played a MUCH tougher schedule than tOSU.

Best win for OSU so far is 7 points over a Wisky team that just lost to State Penn.


Even this year we beat ASU and MSU. 2 teams in their conference championship games.

 

[Rhode Irish]

That is why I am torn. I do want to see someone other than an SEC team win it, and the best way for that to happen is OSU vs. FSU. But objectively there is no way OSU could even be competitive with Auburn, Alabama or Mizzou, and probably not the next half dozen or so SEC teams. There are also probably a couple Big XII teams and a handful of Pac-12 teams that would blow OSU off the field. I would consider taking our current team on a neutral field against OSU, and our 2012 team that got trounced by Bama would have boat raced this OSU team. That is not a team that belongs anywhere near a championship game without a ticket.

 

[gkIrish]

OSU winning the championship is the worst possible scenario for ND. We compete with them for far more recruits than either Auburn or FSU. Mizzou would probably be the best team to win in terms of how it affects ND.

I agree with all of this. OSU is soooo over rated

 

[ACamp1900]

TOSU could shit stomp Mizzou... There I said it.

The most over rated entity in this whole thing is Mizzou, not Ohio State.

This.
I think every team in the BCS top ten, with the possible exception of Michigan State, would beat Mizzou at least seven times out of ten on a neutral field. If FSU or OSU were to lose and Mizzou beats Auburn I would support sending Alabama to the title game over Mizzou, because I think Alabama would beat Mizzou 11 times out of 10 in Columbia. They're just not that good (and their resume is really no better than Ohio State's, except they lost to the one truly good team they've played).

 

[drayer54]

OSU sucks. Auburn-FSU is my preferred matchup to watch.

The quick argument for Missouri: SEC x2. This Tiger team has won every game with the exception of Saturday night against Texas A&M by 14 points or more. Only loss came in double overtime in a game in which it started its backup quarterback. If you want to play the "Auburn is two lucky breaks from 9-3" game, Missouri counters with being one doinked field goal from 12-0.

The quick argument against Missouri: Do you trust a team that blows a 17-0 lead in the fourth quarter at home, even if it's to Connor Shaw, Jadeveon Clowney and South Carolina? With the craziness in the SEC East, wins over Florida and Georgia aren't as impressive as they would have been in August. Also, Missouri doesn't have a win over almighty Alabama on its resume.

Y! SPORTS

Mizzou is better than they first look, if you look at their entire schedule and compare to everyone else in the Top 5. Bama's might be better but they are out, period, no matter who wins the SEC Championship Game because they lost to Auburn and Mizzou would have beaten the #3 team in the country to win the SEC. So there is NO shot that Bama gets into this title game, which suits the Sugar Bowl just fine.

Full Disclosure: Sister went to Auburn, brother in law to Bama (do NOT ask me how that worked out in 2010 or last weekend because I have never asked!)...and I honestly think that Auburn, if they win against Mizzou deserves to go the National Championship Game...but Mizzou would be every bit as worthy, IMO.

I mean, honestly, they don't have the star player like Manziel and yet in their second year in the conference, they are playing for the SEC title, something that little Johnny Football did not do and never will do. Too bad people cannot see that Mizzou is actually a legit team.

 

[ACamp1900]

Middling big 12 team that would be a game over 500 if they had stayed there... #SECschedulessuckass

 

[RammerJammer91]

I'm not arguing. I'm just curious. Do you think Oklahoma State is a better team than Alabama and would beat them if they played? And if so, why? I totally agree with Mizzou being the most overrated, though. but I think your pure hatred for Alabama got in the way when you made that comment. I don't think one can objectively say that Oklahoma State is clearly a better team than Alabama.
