OU GETTIN NO LOVE

[tulah]

BCS has Miami at #2...Thats just crazy. No way they're ahead of OU or Auburn

If they all finish undefeated is there a possibility Auburn jumps ahead to 2 ?

Man wouldn't USC vs OU (or Auburn) be awesome.
I would hate to see the Canes play in the BCS Championship Game ...

My top 5

USC
OU
Auburn
Wisconsin
Miami

whats yours?

 

[lostinamerica]

Auburn
USC
Oklahoma
California
Pick One

 

[Scott4USC]

lostinamerica just curious to why you have Auburn #1????

Auburn is 7-0 but has only played only 2 road games. Is that impressive?

Auburn is 7-0 but 4 of those wins came against...
Louisiana Monroe
Mississippi St.
The Citadel
Louisiana Tech

Is that impressive?

Who has Auburn beat that is a legit top 10 team? WHO???

AU beat LSU 10-9 and LSU is not that great. They should be a 3 loss team if the Oregon St. kicker didn't miss 3 PAT's! Oh yeah, the game was AT AUBURN! Not on the road.

AU beat Tenn. with 2 freshman QB's. Is that really impressive? Tenn. on the road is tough but I do not think the team is that great. I have watched Tenn. play 3 times this year. They are not a top 10 caliber team IMO. Are you impressed with LSU and Tenn.? Are you impressed with all those 5 HOME VICTORIES?

Auburn has played the #80 ranked schedule. LET ME REPEAT! AU has played the #80 ranked schedule in the country. USC has played the #3 ranked SOS, Miami #12, OU #31, and FSU #8! Then you have Auburn with the #80 SOS in the country. Is it just me or does something not fit?

AU #1? Give me a break! 5/7 home games, 4 div. 1aa caliber opponents, #80 ranked SOS, they do not deserve to be #1, or #2 in my opinion.

So I am just curious to why you have AU #1? Beating Citadel by 50pts impressed you? I do not understand the AU hype.

My top 5 are (since I criticized your top 5)

USC
OU
AU
Miami
FSU

BTW I agree with you about CAL at #4 but if CAL had played a tougher OOC schedule then I would have put them in my top 5. As of now I rank CAL #6.

 

[Scott4USC]

tulah I am curious for the same reasons why you have Wiscy at #4. Beating Purdue on the road was great but that alone makes them a #4 team in the country? Wiscy has played the #74 ranked SOS in the country. Do you disagree and think they played a tough schedule?

I am confident CAL, FSU, MIAMI, OU, USC, AU would win double digits against WISCY.

 

[dlvlsu]

Scott your an idiot!! LSU missed two field goals inside 30 yards against oregon st. That adds up to six points 3 more points than the three extra points!! USC sucks and plays in a weak conference!! Indiana beat Oregon(top 5 team in the pac 10) at oregon(LOL) Kentucky bottom feeder in the SEC Drilled Indiana!! That sould tell you how weak your conference is!! So stick that were ever you like!!

 

[treynolds]

My Top 5
USC
Auburn
Oklahoma
Miami
Wisconsin
Hopefully all the top teams will find a way to lose and wisconsin will run the table to get into the championship game.

Scott, dlvlsu is right you are an idiot. Have you seen wisconsin play yet this year. Their D is one of the strongest in the country. No team in the nation could beat wisconsin by 10.

 

[bear22]

My top 5

Canes
FSU
Florida
South Florida
Central Florida

You guys need to stop cane hating. Until we lose, we should be #1 Can you say Devin Hester for Heisman!!!

Scott, dlvlsu is right you are an idiot. Have you seen wisconsin play yet this year. Their D is one of the strongest in the country. No team in the nation could beat wisconsin by 10.

Wisconsins Wins are against

Central Florida
UNLV
at Arizona
Penn State
Illinois
Ohio State
at Purdue

Wisconsin has played a SOS ranked #76 in the country. I dunno, but maybe you are impressed with a #76 ranked SOS. NOT ME!

As for Wisconsins defense, what high powered offense has Wiscy faced? Purdue is the only one I see and they scored 20pts. Remember, Purdue's offense struggled against Penn St. AND Purdue has had a relatively easy schedule this year.

So why are you so impressed with Wisconsins defense? Not saying they are bad, but I find it HARD TO BELIEVE that Wiscy's defense could hold USC, OU, or even AU's offense under 20pts. Not to mention, USC, OU, AU, and Miami all have a much better defense and DC"s than Purdue. You don't agree? How would Wiscy score against these teams? For Wiscy to stay within 10pts they would need to score over 20pts. (we all know how great Wisconsins offense is)

IMO Wiscy would NOT stay within 10pts of USC, OU, and maybe even Auburn.

Again, please tell me WHY Wisconsins defense is one of the strongest in the country? Why? Did someone tell you so? BTW, I have seen Wisconsin play 3 times this year. They have a very good defense but I do not think they could hold down an offense like USC, OU or even Auburn to under 20pts. Not likely! In addition, the team speed USC, OU and AU have overpowers the Wisconsin team speed. Speed kills in college football and I would argue all 3 teams have bigger and faster players than Wisconsin as a team! You disagree?

Lastly, Wisconsin only dominated 1 opponent all year and that was Central Florida. They have struggled or played in tight games against everyone else. Don't forget that Wiscy has played the #76 ranked SOS.

I would love to hear your arguments supporting your opinion. Or you can just call me an idiot again! :clap:

scott no one cares about this; this has nothing to do with capping; if you have some good picks post them if not stay out of this forum; I could care less what the polls are; I care about winning and it doesnt matter anyways as more than likely every team will end up with one loss there is alot of football to played; one last thing i have cashed the last 2 weeks with wisconsin on the moneyline as i know this team very well and their defense is the real deal; i would say better than cal and if i am not mistaken that cal defense completely shut down your precious usc offense to the tune of 204 total yard while usc defense got shredded at home; they were very very very lucky to win that game so just be glad your team hasnt lost YET; Wisconsin defense is the real deal regardless of who they have played; and I do believe at full strength that defense can hold usc, au or ou to around 20 points; that front 7 with erasmas james is unbelievable

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

and I do believe at full strength that defense can hold usc, au or ou to around 20 points; that front 7 with erasmas james is unbelievable

Before James left the game, the Boilers were stopped cold. No offense in the country is significantly better than Purdue. Wisky can play w/ anybody

You are taking issue with the WRONG POSTER! You said....

scott no one cares about this; this has nothing to do with capping;

You should direct your post towards tulah who started this thread. You continue to crack me up. God only knows why you directed it to me.

BobbyBlueChip

I am curious to why you think Purdue's offense is so great? What defense has Purdue put up big numbers against that is good? Just because an offense puts up huge numbers against sub par competition does not make them have an elite offense. OU and USC def. have a offense than Purdue and don't even try and compare OC's. Don't get me wrong, Purdue has a very good offense and QB, but they have not been great against a solid defense. They faced a solid defense against Wiscy and produced 20pts. I think USC and OU would score more than 20pts against Wiscy. Especially since USC and OU have faster and bigger athletes than Wiscy.

*Just read your post over again Bobby and you said no offense is significantly better. Well I still have to disagree because USC and OU have a much more solid run game and faster/bigger athletes than Purdue. In addition, does Purdue have Norm Chow? Can Purdue coaches game-plan and make adjustments as well as the OU and USC coaches?

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

Scott,

ND's got a pretty good defense which USC will find out about soon enough and Purdue torched them. According to your stats, has any offense put up impressive numbers against a "solid" defense besides USC against Cal and Ariz. State? No need to answer the question unless you want to do it in the general discussion forum - where this thread belongs.

 

[Unicorn]

Wisky

Wisky

This years 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes? Good running game with a very good back. Brusing Defense with a D line that no one in the country would want to block. Not drawing comparisons or saying they're better than USC, etc., but the above formula works. :shrug:

 

[bbk]

I agree Bobby; that wiscy def is awesome and definitely think they would shut down or contain any offense in the country; I think that wisky d line at full strength would tear up USC off line; I doubt Lienhart would finish the game; I also agree that Purdue offense is very good; they havent really played anyone but did put up some good numbers against Wisky; problem is they dont have a big running game which hurts them a little bit; Orton is definitely a great QB he just ran into a buzzsaw against Wisky

 

[DoMyDermBest]

Lets get something straight. The big 10 is uniformly mediocre conference. Strongly so from top to almost bottom . They compete well against each other,but not well against top twenties from other conferences. Whiskey is not a top 5 team, probably not a top 10 by end of regular season.

 

[Scott4USC]

DoMyDermBest

I agree with you completely.

BBK says Purdue put up nice numbers against Wisconsin. Yet he says Wisconsin defense would shut down or contain any offense in the country. Well which is it? Is Purdue a better offensive team than USC or OU???? Does Purdue have Norm Chow as OC? Does Purdue have the same athletes USC or OU has? Could Wisconsin's athletes match up with USC or OU's? Like domydembest said, Big 10 struggles outside their conf. so that conf. is lacking something. Wisconsin struggled against Arizona who is at best the 7th best Pac 10 team. Wiscy should have lost that game. Wiscy has struggled this season playing the #76th ranked SOS. Think that tells ya something!

Are you talking about the same Florida State team that has one loss and almost lost to Syracuse?

 

[gman2]

im talking about the same florida state team that just beat the piss out of the team everyone said 'should have been favored'. that was one of the most dominant efforts ive seen in college football in quite awhile. and im talking about the same florida state team that should have won on the road against the #2 team in the nation. someone had to lose between fsu and miami. what are they gonna do week 1? tie? fsu is not the first team, nor will they be the last, to struggle in the dome. and that game was a clear lookahead. they went through the motions, got their win vs the cuse, and then annihilated the chic pick to win the acc
