NCAA Football Random Thoughts

[Maize]

Local radio station in Michigan had their "Fire RichRod Postgame Show," seems those talks will be heating up again. I know David Brandon has already made up his mind, interesting to see what happens.

If he goes, I expect a similar situation to when Lloyd stepped down. We don't get our first choice and end up having to settle. Then it was Les and we settled on RichRod, this time, it could be Harbaugh and we settle on Brady Hoke.

Great fucking game. If not for some shitty officiating we probably would've hung 50 on them. On the 99 yard touchdown run that got called back, horrible call. Dane had a perfect drive block and put his ass in the turf.

37-7 baby, 7 years in a row. 6th straight Big Ten title. Life is good.

Aren't you guys sharing the Big Ten title (again)? Stop claiming it for yourselves.

3 out of the past 5 years we've won outright Big Ten titles.

We're co-champions, but we're still BIG TEN champs, so you can shove it. I didn't even claim it for ourselves, lol Big Ten champs /=/ outright Big Ten Champs

Thank God the shared/co-Big Ten titles can go away starting next year. In years like this, I'm fine with OSU claiming it because although they lost to Wisconsin, Wisconsin lost to MSU and MSU didn't play OSU, so there wasn't one team that beat the other teams with the same number of conference losses.

However, in 2005 and 2008, Penn State was the true champion in my mind because they beat OSU and those two were the only ones tied in the standings. No offense, SB. You may see it a different way and that's fine, but I just don't see the argument besides the fact that the Big Ten named both teams co-champions.

And before someone says, oh you would claim it too if you were in the same position...bullshit. Robert Morris and Quinnipiac tied for the NEC Men's basketball title last year, but Quinnipiac won in our regular season match-up. They were the NEC champions, not us.

All that matters is that we have a Big Ten title trophy from both years, and we're getting another one this year. I could care less about the public perception of it.

I'm glad that sharing a title brings you such happiness. Knowing that you weren't the best team but were tied for the best team with the team who beat you must feel awesome.

We tied for the NEC Championship with you guys this year for football. I'm not really sure how it makes sense.

lol hop off the dick, damn.

We are Big Ten Champs. We're adding another year onto the banner in the rafters at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, and we're adding another Big Ten championship trophy to the trophy case too. Deal with it.

Whatever helps you, and other OSU fans, sleep at night I guess. You ended with the same record as the team who beat you yet you share the conference championship with them. At least it will be changed next year.

We beat you though, so that makes us the "true" champs in my mind. If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't claim a NEC title.

Right. I agree completely. I saw it on our website that we were co-champions and thought it was the dumbest thing ever. How could we be champions when you beat us head to head and we have the same record?

Danny O'Brien to Torrey Smith is as good as a combination as any in college football.

Torrey Smith has to be a lock to declare now. I see him as a high 2nd round pick

So Connecticut has a chance to get into a BCS game, how did that happen?

The Big East is the runt of the BCS conferences. It's been a horrible year for them to say the least.

Another interesting scenario comes from the ACC where VT might be the first team to lose to an FCS (1-AA) team and still make a BCS bowl.

Loving it locally here. All these bandwagon fair weather Iowa fans who were giving me shit earlier in the year are really quiet now that they have tanked and Notre Dame has the same record as them after our current win streak.

Fuck the BCS title game this year.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

And Hawaii has a 10 win season with that W over UNLV :redsmug:

 

[Woy]

Temple and James Madison should meet in the "I beat a BCS conference champ" bowl.
