Master Capper :nooo:
I am sure I will get a post from Scott's other screen name Mansa
Why don't you e-mail MADJACK and ask him if Scott4USC and Mansa are the same person. (I am telling you we are not) This obviously is a big deal to you and others here. Madjack can see both ISP's and both e-mails requested. I think Mansa has been a member longer than I have. Anyways, this has nothing to do with college football and why do you even give a crap if Mansa really is me or not. I only look at what is inside the post, not the poster. You got problems if you are worried if people are using 2 screen names or not. Is it too hard to focus on the material inside a post? Please do e-mail madjack along with your complaints about wanting me banned. Oh, I think I know why you dislike Mansa. He made a mockery of you and few other posters here in this thread. You never did reply to him. I wonder why?
Great thread and great arguments by Mansa
Scott,
Your evading their question on how USC lost to a team that lost 6 games including a loss to Utah. All your stats are worthless, how did USC loss to a team that got beat by the Running Utes?
NO, I did not dodge their question. I answered it. I will answer it again. Last year was a rebuilding year for USC. YES, it was a rebuilding year for the Trojans. USC lost to CAL @CAL by 3pts in triple OT. Leinart was making his 4th career start and was still learning on the job. Remember, USC graduated a Heisman winning QB who took practically every snap previous season. As it turns out, USC went out and won a National Championship in a rebuilding year. The loss to CAL cost USC an undisputed NC but that is ok with me.
What you might not be aware of is CAL has a top 5 QB in the nation with a top 5 offensive minded head coach in the country. CAL had the USC game circled and Tedford purposely scheduled 5 OOC games prior to the USC game. He said he wanted his team battle tested and prepared for the USC game. CAL played and lost to at the time #10 KSU and #25 Utah BOTH on the road. Cal also lost to Colorado St.. All 3 opponents who Cal lost too
(2 on road) were BOWL TEAMS LAST YEAR. Cal also played and beat Illiniois (road) and Southern Miss. I think that qualified Cal to be battle tested for USC and for Tedford to implement his offense. USC had ONLY played 3 games prior to CAL. Tedford publicly admitted to this and it was very smart of him. He knew he would lose to KSU but he wanted to play at KSU cuz he knew it would help his team against USC. That extra game/practice time worked out. Not many teams played a tougher OOC schedule than CAL. 5 OOC games in a row, 3 on the road, with 2 top 25 ranked opponents on the road.
Hope that answers your question and hopefully you learn to read and comprehend so you do not ask me to answer the same question twice.
You have also made your argument on SOS seem worthless by stating that USC not by their choice is playing a very weak schedule this year, you seem to be confirming that the Pac 10 is rather weak and that it is not USC fault that they play in the 5th best league!
USC wanted to play Miami, Michigan, and OU this year and all 3 said NO WAY. I know for a fact Michigan and OU could have played USC if they wanted too because it would have worked out schedule wise. Especially OU with 2 open dates to fill just like USC.
So no, I was not claiming the Pac 10 being weak. I think the Pac 10 was the 3rd strongest conf. last year and will fall somewhere between 3rd-5th this season. I do not agree with pre-season SOS or conference rankings. Way too many variables.
Pac 10 was the 3rd or at the very least 4th strongest conference last year. Maybe you could not read and comprehend the data I provided.
BUt if your opinion is the Pac 10 being the 5th, I sure would like to see why. I am confident you could not provide a strong argument like I did with "factual" data. Maybe we should all take your opinion and treat it like factual
data. :142lmao:
Big 12 CLEARLY was the 5th strongest.
If being the 3rd or 4th strongest conference in the country is considered weak by Master Cappers standards, then he must also think the Big 10 was weak last year and the Big 12 being SUPER WEAK!!! I do not share the same rating system as MC.
Only response I need to read from you is telling me why the Pac 10 last year was weaker than the Big 12 AND Big 10. I can see a valid argument supporting the Big 10 being ranked higher than the Pac 10, but from the "factual" data I provided, there is not much you can say to support the Big 12.
Don't forget that the Big 12 has 12 teams, Big 10: 11 teams, and Pac 10: 10 teams.
My money is on you coming up empty with this argument!!!!!!!!
