NCAA Week 12 Running Thread

Or LSU could not play Georgia in the SEC title game.

 

Kiss my ass, Doc. Start blaming everything you can think of, but WV still lost to an overachieving team that went on to suck.

 

You think it'll be Rocky Top?

 

You're very welcome

I think it would also help Ohio State to have LSU win out, or at worst not lose the SEC Championship Game. Since the SEC championship opponent will likely be a ranked team, LSU may not fall behind Ohio State even with a loss there (remember that a top-ranked Oklahoma team got clobbered by 4 touchdowns in the Big 12 title game a few years back yet only fell to #3 in the human polls, which allowed them to still get to the national title game over USC).

 

Dominated? What game were you watching? Mizzou led by a point to start the fourth, and if not for that goddam fumble, it's a nailbiter. As it was, it was only a 10-point loss.

And no disrespect to he who runs this place, but USF has fallen off the damn globe. A shellacking of Louisville doesn't hold quite the same sheen as it a few months ago.

 

Well ... they have beaten Kentucky for 22 consecutive seasons.

 

Not ranking Mizzou early was fair. Their defense, especially after the debacle against Oregon State in the bowl, was very questionable. And Mizzou did have the lead in the fourth quarter against Oklahoma, but the touchdown on the fumble by Daniel turned the tide. Now, Nebraska, that was a game MU had no chance of losing.

 

Sorry, Suburbia, but an LSU team with two losses doesn't get in over a one-loss Ohio State team. I don't agree with it, but I can't see it happening.

 

Doc, it wouldn't be a sure thing, but it would certainly be a possibility. The human pollsters may consider one loss at home to an unranked team (at the time) to be worse than a double-OT road loss and a neutral site loss to ranked teams. At the very least, the computers that also factor into the BCS may consider that to be the case, and LSU may not fall far enough behind Ohio State in the human polls in that scenario to make up the difference.

I mention this as a possibility because of what happened to Oklahoma (and hence to USC) a few years back, as I described above.

 

Give Tressel big time credits....6-1 vs. UM?....remember when he was hired, showed up at a hoop game and given the mike said something like, "tOSU aint losing to UM any more" or something to that effect? (I think is was yada-yada days from now...you will be proud).
HEY, THE VEST DELIVERED. BIG TIME.

 

Heard in the state now 100 years into the occupation of Indian Territory.....

CHOOOOOKE- LAHOMA where the road games kick us in the ass!

 

Ohio State might just back into the big game yet. Which would be funny.
