So what makes you smarter than every BCS computer or person that works for the BCS? I mean if you were you wouldn't be playing pick'em w/ a bunch of us hayseeds. You'd be sipping coffee w/ Bill Gates.

Computers are only as good as the crap that people put into them. You don't think the data is manipulated? What isn't manipulated in this day and age? Granted, Bama made a nice comeback against LSU but they lost on paper. No way should they have such a large margin lead over K-State and Oregon. Total bullshit.

I have a feeling that A&M won't fold in the final minutes of the 4th quarter and won't let Bama beat them on points unless the other stats show that they actually earned the win.

I think Chris Low from ESPN does a good job and has a balanced view in this recent article. If you don't read it let me summarize for you. Just like the old Sprite commercial "Image means nothing taste means everything." SEC style play is not flashy it is old man football.

I think BAMA will take care of Texas A&M this weekend. It will not be an easy game but A&M has struggled against the top defenses in the SEC. A&M has also played 10 games straight with no Bye week. Last weekend in Baton Rouge is just what the team needed to remind them that a Championship run can be over in 60 minutes. LSU played way better than they have all season long. A lot of teams do not play consistently the same way each week. They were ready for BAMA and wanted revenge for the NC so they were motivated a hell of a lot more than most teams.

It definitely will be interesting to see Oregon Vs. Alabama. Two different styles of football and differing philosophies on how the game should be played. Texas A&M is the closest thing to a west coast spread em out team in the SEC. The top defenses in the SEC have shut down "Johnny Football," AKA "Johnny Jizz Jar."

It really does not matter what the polls say. Kansas State will probably be jumped by Oregon and even maybe Notre Dame. Oregon will jump them because Kansas State is in the Big 12 which does not have a proper Championship Game. When will the Big 12 learn??? They will watch for the 2nd year in a row while other teams play in the NC and bitch and moan about it. All they need to do is make it 12 teams (Invite Boise State) and have a true conference championship game...

What a farce.

Everyone knows that Alabama is the greatest team ever. Everybody knows that. God put Saban at Alabama. THAT IS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT. Everybody knows that. The ducks will lose to Stanford everybody knows that. Alabama is located in Tuscaloosa....THAT IS A FACT! The NC will be played by two SEC teams. Everybody knows that. Alabama beat Western Kentucky. That is a fact jack!

Pale you sound like that LSU fan named Boris on the AL.com sports board (sound off board). Do you know the guy I am talking about. Every time he posts he makes statements like FACT: LES MILES HAS BEATEN SABAN 3/7 Times. Fact: THE REFS GAVE BAMA THE GAME, FACT: LSU BEAT BAMA ON PAPER!

What is that bullshit about? It don't matter what's on paper it matters what is on the scoreboard. I heard all of that bellyaching and bitching last year when BAMA lost to LSU 9-6. So many BAMA fans were saying "well we beat them on paper." Moral Victories are for sore losers who cannot accept reality like BroncoBoy... :)

People like that enjoy throwing around stats and data about the game. Well the only data that really matters is the final score..If stats and data make you feel better about your butt hurt then more power to you...

Oh, I agree with you in concept, BamaBoy. The team with the most points at the end of the game get a "W" and the other team gets a "L", regardless of what the stats say.

However, the BCS system is designed to take all those INTANGIBLES into account when scoring and ranking the teams. Those fing computers are supposed to be foolproof. I call bullshit. The ones who input the data simply withhold the negative information that would disfavor their pet team(s). That's why Bama has a BIG marginal lead over the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams. Not because they are so much better....but because the data is manipulated.

The total yards gained, time of possession, first downs, etc...should certainly be part of the data mix. They are INTEGRAL elements of the game. But after the LSU Bama didn't lose any marginal lead - THEY GAINED MORE - and that's total bullshit. Look at the difference in total yards gained in the K-State/O-State of the Oregon/USC games. Did the losing teams in either of those games have more total yards gained than the winning teams? Of course not.

So the score alone should not dictate the BCS rankings. Other factors should come into play. And those factors were totally ignored by the BCS when they formulated the rankings after Week #10.

That's how I see it.

That LSU guy is crazy. He calls into Feinbaum too.

I wrote that post as a parody of a certain poster.

Those players who have routinely picked are rewarded for their consistency. Those who have picked less than 75% of the games are at an advantage statistically. Consequently there is a price to pay for that. It's called fairness. So if a new picker showed up in Week #11 and picked 60% of the game he should go to the front of the pack? Bullshit.

So what?

Question(s):

What college team had the toughest schedule for 2012? Notre Dame

http://espn.go.com/college-football...e-football-notre-dame-faces-toughest-schedule

Is that team undefeated? Yes

Why isn't that team ranked #1 in the BCS? ???

ps. I hate Notre Dame too...But let's be fair.

The BCS system is supposed to take other elements of the game into account other than just W's or L's. When it took ND 3 OT's to beat unranked Pitt at home it discounted the strength of their team. So it's "fair" to drop them in the rankings and question their suitability as a candidate for the national championship.

There. Does that help explain it?

No. Not really.

Just as other teams have changed from their high pre-season rankings due to losses, injuries, players going to jail, etc...Other teams have improved.

In the case of ND needing 3 OTs to win against an un-ranked Pitt, is it possible that Pitt is actually a team that played a very solid game? They have a winning program (past years).

Where did Alabama's strength of schedule place pre-season? 25th in the Nation

"Shit, Oregon had 745 total yards against USC. Unheard of. Go find another team in the last decade that scored 62 points against USC and had 745 total yards. heh. Good luck."

You act like college players have consistent rosters and don't change players that often. Look at how different a team can be from on year to the next due to graduation. To look at a 10 year record of an NCAA team is not realistic.

You're not following me, fuckie.

Regardless of whether team rosters change - USC has, for the most part, had a good teams for the last decade. Show me just one other team that put up 62 points and 745 total yards on the board against them this year or in the last 10 years.

You can't.

Just proving my point that Oregon is one bad ass team.

Deal with it.

Can't you also make this same argument for Alabama? Don't you think LSU also played a very solid game (the best game they have played all season long). They went into the game the highest ranked one loss team.

Strength of schedule is a very fluid thing through out the season. BAMA in some ways has had an easier schedule than past years since Auburn and Arkansas are down. BAMA still has to face Texas A&M who is a better team than they were predicted to be preseason. Georgia has also improved as the season has gone by.

Lets take LSU as an example concerning strength of schedule. Last year (2011) they had a brutal schedule. LSU started out by playing Oregon at Jerry World who they took out behind the wood shed. LSU then went on the beat the hell out of West Virginia in Morgantown and then beat BAMA at Tuscaloosa. They finished up the year by dominating Georgia in the SEC Championship game and then getting their ass handed to them in the NC. Just because they had one of the toughest or the toughest schedule does not mean they were the best team. They were the best team for 13 weeks of the regular season until the NC.

Without a doubt Oregon is an incredible team and put up some major numbers against USC. I don't think they are unbeatable (well maybe in the PAC-12). I also don't think BAMA is unbeatable and think it was ludicrous for Steve Spurrier to say BAMA could beat some NFL teams. Spurrier did that to give the LSU players some extra motivation.
