This was a rebuilding season for them, yet they can still go to the Rose Bowl, and end with a one-loss top 5 season. How's Florida going to end up this season? <BR/><BR/>And why do Florida fans hate OSU so much? Is there some natural Florida-Ohio Rivalry I don't know about. Look you beat OSU in both major college championships last season, why do you hate us? <BR/><BR/>Dan seems to think that OSU fans are going to go home all heart-broken that they aren't in the title game, but this season was supposed to be about rebuilding, and we're walking away with a pretty good record. If they beat MI next week and go to the Rose Bowl, well everything would be just grand.<BR/><BR/>OH and by the way OSU is still an LSU conference Title game loss (possible), Mizzou-Kansas-OU round robin (2 more losses between those three teams, guaranteed), and a Ducks or WV upset (very possible) away from being in the title game. Not probable, but possible.Jibblescribbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833352311064492403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-19566161668162140952007-11-12T03:55:00.000-05:002007-11-12T03:55:00.000-05:00Illinois 8-3.South Fl 7-3.Colorado 5-6.Kentucky 7-...Illinois 8-3.<BR/>South Fl 7-3.<BR/>Colorado 5-6.<BR/>Kentucky 7-3.<BR/>Cal 6-4.<BR/><BR/>So of the 1 loss teams ahead of OSU, who lost to the best team again?<BR/><BR/>Mizzou, who lost to 9-1 Oklahoma.<BR/><BR/>Guess that makes everyone except the winner of the Mizzou/KU game UNDESERVING of a shot at the NC, since it's better to lose to 7-3 Kentucky (oh and pull games out of your ass against Alabama and Auburn) than it is to lose to 8-3 Illinois, coached by the guy who built Florida's 2006 NC team.Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087094908297676378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-91318190193077309412007-11-12T03:44:00.000-05:002007-11-12T03:44:00.000-05:00WAY TO *not* mention how the replay system complet...WAY TO *not* mention how the replay system completely BLEW it on Ill's first possession by NOT reviewing the obvious fumble.<BR/><BR/>OH but right, I forgot, OSU getting the ball back up 7-0 would have had zero impact on the game, so it's OK that ILL was given a BS TD and tied it up.<BR/><BR/>Seem to recall you going COMPLETELY apeshit when this happened to OU last year up in Oregon, funny how that NW bias blocks you from an honest read on the game.Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087094908297676378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-85061210634160315052007-11-11T23:58:00.000-05:002007-11-11T23:58:00.000-05:00Ha ha.

Cal is going to finish 8-4 AT BEST, maybe Oregon had them at home, and they blew it. Illinois is going to end up ranked around 15 going into the bowls, and will most likely finish 9-3. So at least be fair when you assess teams. <BR/><BR/>Face it, every team in the Top 7 with one loss has a questionable loss to a team with 3 or more losses. If you look at it HONESTLY, Oklahoma's loss is far worse than OSU's and they are third in the polls.<BR/><BR/>You're passing judgement by the LOOK test, and passing it off as analytical. Be fair to your readers and don't try to act like your opinions are based on real analysis.setherton22https://www.blogger.com/profile/11926015372890056792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-19512868782399328722007-11-11T21:14:00.000-05:002007-11-11T21:14:00.000-05:00Ok so I was looking at last week's BCS standings, ...Ok so I was looking at last week's BCS standings, but for some reason the one I was looking at had updated rankings and records.

Unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>I kept telling people for weeks that Illinois was going to win. Not because I was hopeful, but because i was sure it was going to happen.<BR/><BR/>This has been an unbelievable season. The Illini now have as many wins this season as the last 4 combined (thanks Ron Turner!). If Zook isn't up there for coach of the year, then I don't know what's wrong with voters (although I think someone like Mangino deserves it more, at this piont).

SEC is down, like it or not, and I can't put LSU ahead of teams that look much more impressive.<BR/>On a bright side, it's very likely that Kansas loses to Mizzou, which then takes out Oklahoma.

KU last year ended up 6-6, 9th in the Big XII. Big XII has 8 bowl tie ins. However, there's the rule out there that all 7-5 teams from ANY conference must go to bowls before 6-6 teams. (not sure if this is after all conference tie ins or not however) KU didn't get an invite last year.<BR/><BR/>future- agree completely. I don't know if its Ganz or the playcalling, but they are actually throwing the ball down the field. In the early games I saw this year, Keller would look once, then just dump it off to the back.

After KU stomped Nebraska last week, a woman from Nebraska wrote to the Lawrence newspaper saying that KU should be embarrassed for running up the score becuase Nebraska would never do that (which is laughable). Ironically, Nebraska scored 73 and won by 40 today and their QB threw 7 tds.

I will say after winning the first ten, expectations were raised. And no, OSU is not a fraud. If that's the case then every one-loss team is a fraud this year. USC was a fraud then last year. It's just been a crazy, tough season for EVERY team this year. And if Kansas wins out, they should play Oregon (if they also win out the rest of the season). LSU is just as bad/good as OSU, Oklahoma and WVU. Too bad Missouri won't get any love (at least for now) because I think they could handle any team right now.Lowlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009250887625614397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-22783326958669820732007-11-10T22:53:00.000-05:002007-11-10T22:53:00.000-05:00JAYHAWKS!!!JAYHAWKS!!!pv845https://www.blogger.com/profile/05318367429970619320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-61465651039484980012007-11-10T22:36:00.000-05:002007-11-10T22:36:00.000-05:00I think it is funny that Percy Harvin not playing ...I think it is funny that Percy Harvin not playing in the gator game tonite is actually proving he isn't as important to the gators as I know both Dan and I felt.
