You know, Stick, at first I thought that halftime show was footage of Florida practicing for their game against Ohio State.

I know what you're saying, Nigal.

Lloyd Carr is a double-edged sword. He plays ball-control, run-based offense and stresses defense.

That helps him beat the teams he should beat. Michigan beats all of the teams it should beat.

The problem is that he needs a different playbook against the best teams. Tressel threw something at Michigan that Ohio State had not done all season with that spread-type offense. Michigan would never start a game like that.

And it sucks because sometimes when they play desperate when they are down, you see what they probably could do all of the time.

That said, Lloyd Carr is totally the right coach for Michigan and he should coach there as long as he wants.

Hats off to USC.

The Boise State game was the most fun I've had watching football in a long time - those kids played HARD and beat a good team.

The TN game was disappointing, but in typical TN fashion (and I'm a UT fan) they played just good enough to lose.

I'm not a big football fan, but the Fiesta Bowl game sure was a good game. Little old Boise State U kept coming back and ended up beating Oklahoma in overtime. I loved seeing the Sooner fans crying. Go Boise!

The Broncos are undefeated this year, 13-0.

Now, if UF beats OSU and leaves Boise State as the only undefeated team, we can all start whining about a college playoff again.

The fact that Boise (a 'mid major'??) showed up and beat a Big 12 team is case enough that a playoff is needed. Those kids deserve a chance to play for a championship don't they?
Roam Around

Boise didn't play anyone this year, kinda like ND. I would get at least a 20 point loss if they played either USC, OSU or Florida.

It was a great game though.

yeah, and thats what the OU faithful were saying until about midway through the first quarter last night.


But thats the point - a playoff levels the field. At that level - Div 1A - on any given day, any team could beat any other team.

I like Buddha Bear's logic: Bowl games determine the relative strength of each conference.

If and when Louisville beats Wake Forest today, I guess that makes the Big East the best.

Chili!

How about Wisconsin having a legitimate gripe if Florida beats OSU?

Anyway, I'm going to change my position.

I now support a college football playoff. It would be a damned fun couple of weeks, wouldn't it?

And, it could be staged while reinstituting the old bowl system with conference tie-ins.

Have both and let 4 or 8 teams play at ice covered home fields in January. Wouldn't that be fun?

Sounds like a plan - and what I was hoping for when they first started talking about a BCS. After the big bowls are played, put any unbeaten teams - plus enough teams at the top of the rankings into a short (4 team?) playoff series.

bb is only counting the SEC vs Big 10 games.

overall, the SEC is 4 - 3 and the Big 10 is 2 - 4.

Hardly a stunning victory count for either.

Boise State should get a shot at the big time! They probably wouldn't have a snowball's chance in Hades, but I didn't think they could hang with Oklahoma, either. One of the best football games I have ever seen.
Big 12 is weak this year. Kinda like the SEC.
And....what happened to Michigan? I almost put money on those boys.

anyone going to be in Vegas on Monday night?

We had a good long convo about a CFB Playoff last week with 3 OSU math profs and 2 phd candidates. Those guys had all the angles figured, including how much $$ the "big" conferences would lose if they went to a playoff.

My rankings of the conferences this year:

1. Big East
2. Big Ten
3. Big 12
4. ACC
5. WAC
6. Notre Dame
7. MAC
8. Patriot
9. Mountain West
10. Sunbelt
11. Conference USA
12. Spears/Federline/Hilton Flag Football League
13. Greater Cleveland CYO
14. SEC

The only question about next Monday's game is this: will it take Tim Teabag a few months or a few years to recover from the skirtburn he's going to encounter from the Bucks D with his clever little runs up the middle?


Translation for all the redneck gator fans out there, and I'll use a reference you can understand:

"Hey Chip, the Buckeyes piss excellence son!"

In 2003, the Florida Athletic Department put a crocodile on the cover of it's program, instead of an alligator.

Buddha Bear - Did they identify it incorrectly? Crocodiles do exist in Florida. I would consider them to be gators as well.

A true story: It was wet outside the shelter one morning on the AT and several men in a group from FSU were putting on their "gators." One of them looked at me and said, "I can't bring myself to call them "gators." These are my "Seminoles>"
