Running bowl thread

It has to do with the discussion because Florida is ass-raping the Big East champion and confirming what we already know -- that since the Big East lost Miami and Virginia Tech, it's only had two teams (Louisville in '07 and WV in '08), that were any good.

I'm not saying that the SEC is the be-all, end-all of college football. But the Big East sucks. If people are going to diminish the accomplishments of a team like TCU because of its conference, they should do the same for Cincinnati. Had the Big East not gotten stuck playing the ACC in normal BCS years, it would look even worse. No one needed this game to prove it. It just continues to build the case.

 

Cincinnati is a joke on defense with or without Brian Kelly. They gave up tons of points to teams that weren't even bowl eligible. That means they'd probably have to score at least 42 on the best defense they played all year. Kelly has nothing to do with this mismatch.

 

WVU in 05 beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl in Atlanta.

 

Really?

The Big East - since it was reconfigured - is going to be 1-1 against the SEC in BCS bowls after tonight.

That's right, the mighty SEC was 0-1 against the Big East in BCS games before tonight.

So I'll say it again, to watch one meaningless exhibition game or two and make definitive statements about a conference is asinine.

It is all cyclical.

The Big East will be 3-2 in BCS games after tonight.

A winning record in BCS games by this "shit" conference, so the overreaction to a bad performance tonight is just stupid.

I know facts hurt the slobbering rants of fanboys of the SEC and other major conferences, but, those are the facts.

 

Off deadline. So, how much Tebow slurpery has their been now that it's 30-3 at the half?

 

Florida is better.

But Cincy is much better than they've showed tonight and the loss of Kelly is a big reason for that. This team has no fire, no energy, no intensity and has for the most part layed a huge egg.

They'd have at least been competitive if he were still around.

 

Thommy got sanctimonious & meta ... he commented on his own comments and went on another Tebow rampage right before halftime saying that EVERYBODY would want their kid to be like Tebow (plenty of obvious exceptions would invalidate that claim, of course).

Billick was the voice of sanity (yes, I wrote it) and said it might be nobody's fault but don't be surprised there's Tebow fatigue.

 

Any momentum the anti-BCS, pro-playoff forces had has been completely wiped out in the first half of this game as the team that would have played for the national title had Texas lost is getting embarrassed Hawaii style.

 

They'd still be down at least two scores, best case scenario. If it is affecting them, it's their own fault for acting like a bunch of girls when he left and making it about themselves.

 

That depends ... are we using the Pac 10 or Big East scales?

 

Every Cincinnati player has spent a lot more than 20 minutes around Tim Tebow tonite. Not one is better off for it.

 

Just for clarification because this is at least the fourth time someone made reference to this -- Cincy would NOT have played Alabama, TCU would have played them had Texas lost.

The reason being, had Texas (which was 3 in computers) lost, they would have fallen behind TCU (which was five in computers) in the computer polls but they were already behind Cincy (which was 2 in computers) so TCU would have gained enough to jump ahead of Cincy with their added spot in the computers.
