[sundevilscott]

I love to see them lose as much as I love watching ASU win. Yea yea I know, at least they are there but that is awesome.

Can someone explain what their safties were doing?

I'd like to have someone explain why the fraud known as the Big 10 gets so much love every football season. I say we ban the Buckeyes and the rest of their garbage conference from the BCS until they can prove that they recruit actual athletes instead of a bunch of slow, 'roided out meatheads.

Seriously, that was hands down the worst game Texas played this year and they still won.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Texas looked really bad for most of the game.

I am sick of the Big 10 and I am sick of Ohio State getting put into a position to piss away a BCS Bowl. Don't even get me started on Penn State and Michigan. Texas didn't want to play that game, they were pouting for not being in the championship game. I wouldn't be suprised if half the team wasn't hung over

Ohio State is just a long running joke of a program that has serious money to throw around. If anyone wants to know the answer of "Why should we have a college football playoff?" the answer alone should be "To eliminate Ohio State so more favorable matchups can occur"

 

[Southpaw]

...yup. Pryor 5-14 66 yards. Sweatervest was stuck with his promise to play the freshman to get his commit all year. Now we get to hear how awesome OSU will be next year, and they will be annointed Top 5 preseason. It is like Groundhog Day.

BTW... Big 10(11) finished 1-6 in bowls this year.

That's what bothers me most about them. Just because they have a name, they get into the BCS, can stay high in the rankings with several losses.

Most teams take a hit if they lose their bowl game in the following years preseason rankings, but they don't seem to.

I know the BCS isn't perfect, but some of the auto bids are a joke.

If not for a horrid PI call, OSU would have won.

Give OSU credit for manhandling Texas most of the game - they outplayed Texas.


The Big 12 "power offenses" have been exposed as a product of the worst set of defenses in college football.

won. The calls were going both ways.

Didn't they use Pac 10 officials?

SEC is 5-2 so far, Big 12 "worst defenses" are 4-2 so far. If OU handles FL then it puts the conferences about even, if FL handles OU then the SEC comes out on top. Big Televen sucks worse than the Big East it seems and the ACC is right down there with them.

This was UT's worst "head up their ass" game of the year and they still beat tOSU.

The PAC 10 is the surprise of the bowl season.

 

[Mulli]

NW almost beat MO.



IF you factor in SAT scores, NW won.

OSU fans are the last people that should be complaining about horrid PI calls in the Fiesta Bowl. And for all the supposed "manhandling" of Texas by the Bucks they ended up with over 100 less yards of total offense and did not turn the ball over and still lost. The penalties on each team were the same.

The Big 12 "power offenses" have been exposed as a product of the worst set of defenses in college football.

Agreed, but it was Oregon and Ole Miss (and Florida this Thursday) that exposed that hidden flaw. Not tOSU.

 

[DWKB]

I'm confused as to how the 2 losses the Big 12 have make a statement about the league defenses as a whole and it seems the 4 wins don't mean anything.

Oregon put up 55 against sucky defense of UofA, 65 against the horrid defense of Oregon State, 54 against gawd aweful defense of ASU. Compared to these teams, OSU's defense holding them to 42 looks pretty solid.

TTech just crapped their collective pants against Ole Miss.

Clemson had 4(!) yards rushing against NU, Kansas out gained MN by over 100 yards. UT had over 100 yards against tOSU. Basically, a TTech team generates the only "proof" so far of the "worst set of defenses in college football".

Gotta love the Televen. I use Big10(11). With your permission I am switching to Big Televen.

The ACC is in the toilet bowl. 3-6. At least most of their 9 games weren't blow out losses. Not much of a consolation.

Big Televen pooped their pants ( again ). Pac 10 Kicked fanny.

SEC 5-2 and probably 6-2 is a good showing.

 

[Rivercard]

Yep. I don't see how those ripping OSU have a case unless you assume Texas is a bad team.

The college football post season is freaking irritating. Turns into a fan pissing contest every year. I just wish fans had enough discipline to say enough is enough and organize a boycott or something.

 

[boisesuns]

All of the bowls, at least make for some interesting speculation on who is really good and who isn't. You get some match ups outside conferences, and it usually just makes things even more interesting.

I fully expected Ohio State to get crushed, and they didn't. I think at the end of the year people try to stand on the conferences and their superiority over the other conferences, while in season they HATE the other teams from their conferences. It's a total crapshoot when it comes to conference strength sometimes.

Pac 10
The pac 10 overall had what most consider a down year, but realy did well in bowl games
The Big 12
Had a GREAT regular season, but some of it's teams struggled in their bowl games.
SEC
Every year they have troubles, the argument always comes up about the teams beating up on each other. Some of the traditional SEC teams who ave been strong in the past were not as good as expected (LSU, Tennessee, Georgia), but there were some strong teams as well (Florida, Alabama) and some suprises (Ole Miss)
Non BCS Teams
Obviously Utah did amazing this year. Beating several top 25 teams, and the team who was one of the best from the SEC. TCU, BYU and Boise state all had good years as well. It would be interesting to see where some of those teams matched up with the stronger conferences.

Maybe the gap is closing between the smaller schools?

I believe I am also going to use the Big Televen. That is one of my favorites.

You mean the same Big East that went 4-2 in bowl games this year and is 13-5 over the last 3 years? Yeah they suck!

The Big East lost 3 games this year (Miami, Cinn, and Pitt) and their opponents in wins were:

Memphis (6-7, 4-4 CUSA) that wasn't any competition for USF.

Buffalo, who had the 4th best conference record out of the MAC and only made a bowl with their upset win over Ball St.

two middling ACC teams.

Not exactly a powerhouse showing IMO if we're talking BCS type performances out of a conference.

At least try to understand what you bash. Miami is in the ACC.

Umm, Miami isnt in the Big East. But whatever, you're right!

 

[Ryanwb]

If you grade the conferences off their bowl games, you have to say the PAC-10 is one of the strongest conferences in the country. It's too bad they can't get on TV more often.

On the Big East, yeah, they're playing great baseketball right now

Ah, mind slip from the old days. Anyways, my "bashing" doesn't have any less truth to it. I guess since the mess up is all that's worth commenting about that you both agree or you'd come with better retorts?

Isn't LVCARDFREAK's comment about the 13-5 bowl record the last 3 years enough?

in the bottom tier, which makes them difficult to find.
