I'm tired of seeing teams get screwed and blowouts in the Big 12 Title Game. You're definitely right this year, as the South has 4 teams that I would take over the best North team. However, there was a time when Nebraska and Colorado (and even K-State) were good teams. Any way you divide it, it won't be perfect in the future, since teams could become resurgent or just drop off for a while. I'm hoping we get as many 1-loss teams as possible so that the BCS system looks bad yet again, and they finally replace it with some sort of playoffs. I'm not sure how big the playoffs should be; 16 teams might be too much and 4 might not be enough. There has to be a better system than the current one though. | ||

I do think that when you're getting to the point of having 16 teams in a playoff, some of the meaningfulness of the regular season is lost. I personally don't care and would love to see a big, exciting playoff like this, but I can see the other side's argument here. On the other hand, when Auburn can go 13-0 and win the toughest conference and not even get to play for the title, the meaningfulness of the regular season is lost under the current system! Four team would be good enough almost all the time. By the time you're #5, there's not much argument that you are the #1 team. Sure there will always be controversy over who gets that last spot, but you won't have a situation where a major unbeaten team is left out. Six (top two get a bye) or eight (all 6 conference champs plus 2 at large) would also be really fun to watch; I have no objection to getting to watch more good football  | ||

It's not like it's an 82 game season like hockey. Every game will still count. | ||

I feel bad for coach fulmer, he had one bad season and now they're firing him?? his records like 150-51, I think thats pretty good. As in hopefully Tennessee won't try to hire Mike Leach, one of the best practical options for Tenn. They dream of getting Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Jon Gruden or Pete Carroll, but that's just not going to happen. The other practical options for Tenn are Muschamp (who got his ass handed to him by Leach's offense), Gary Patterson, and a couple others. I believe that Leach will be at the top of their list if he keeps winning. | ||

No way. Those three shutouts, the teams have a combined total of three wins. The hardest team they face now is Cal, which is pretty mediocre this year, imo. They beat a very overrated Ohio State team, and then choked big time. People will point to ND, but they're a joke and have beaten nobodys. If they actually faced a quality opponent in the last few weeks, I'd say maybe, but a 1 loss team from the SEC or Big 12 should get in over them without a doubt. | ||

Every game will still count. That's the way I feel too. The NHL regular season isn't all that important because 16 out of 30 teams make it - over half the teams! There's 119 FBS football teams. Being in the top 8 or top 16 is still quite an accomplishment. | ||

But realistically, I don't think Texas Tech is going to beat Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Missouri (B12 championship). Too many strong opponents in a month - if they even play a bad half (like Texas did) they'll lose one of those. My feeling is that PSU will get slaughtered by Florida or any of the Big 12 contenders. With Alabama there's the chance of a close game (maybe...) but even then it'd be like watching the LSU-Oklahoma Sugar Bowl. | ||

The polls are ridiculous... hey, Texas lost a game in the last minute of the game to a highly ranked opponent on the road... let's put USC and Florida above them! And Oklahoma for good measure. Granted this was just the USA Today poll, but seriously... coaches are on something. Meanwhile Mizzou is back to their old ways... let's not just lose to ranked opponents, let's almost drop a game to Baylor! Whee! On the other hand, it is kind of comforting they are back to their old ways... | ||

UCLA sucks really bad this year and even a shutout wouldn't be that great for a team like USC. My number 15 BYU Cougars shut them out by 60 points in the early season and then the Utah Utes defeated them 44-6 like a couple weeks later. USC defeating them is guaranteed, a shutout wouldnt be surprising at all. I know how you feel man BYU has a fairly laid back schedule this year and when they ran into TCU it killed our BCS dreams and Max Halls Heisman dreams. | ||
