FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Mr. Ypsi]

Mr Ypsi-

  I think you were playfully saying that Michigan should shut out USC since UCLA held them to 9.  That logic is not very logical at all.  And while I will be rooting for OSU, they wont win by 3-4 TD's.  Florida has guys on scholarship too.  And many pro prospects. 
  I dont wanna hear anything about a neutral field.  You play the games on your schedule.
  Mind you its 50 days until the game practically(for OSU) so we will likely not see the same dominant team.  I know it sucks but thats the way it is.  If there is one thing Ive learned about football its that comparing scores means nothing at all.  Its all about matchups and adjustments.

My Bowl Selections, even though its early
OSU 33, Florida 24
Louisville 41, Wake Forest 35
LSU 27, ND 13
Oklahoma 34, Boise State 24
USC 28, Michigan 17

You caught me being playful on the shutout, but not on the score - I see something more like UM 31, USC 10.  And, yes, despite being a buckeye hater, I see them beating Florida by 3-4 TDs.

Two other comments:

ND is in the BCS ONLY because of their sweetheart deal - I'd love to see them lose by 3-4 TDs.

While Boise State is in only because of the special rule about non-BCS conferences, I'd love to see them make a statement - Boise 41-Oklahoma 24.

I agree about ND.  Im not quite sure why they get that deal.  And yes, I would also like to see them lose by 50 if it was possible

[baseman201]

Hmmm, seems to be some controversy as to who #2 is, you know an easy way to fix that...............

A PLAYOFF!!!!!

AMAZING HOW THERE WOULD BE NO CONTROVERSY AT ALL!!!!!

I guarantee Michigan is wishing they had a playoff right now.

And just off the subject, I think OSUs basketball team is going to win the national championship as well.  Anyone see Oden play?  Amazing. 

[bufan]

Actually baseman201 a good majority of the experts on ESPN and such feel the BCS got it right and they see no controversey. And you also have failed to realize that Michigan and Florida were tied in the computers so it was the human voters that placed Florida in the game.  So blame them if you wanna point fingers.  Whether it is a playoff or not you will have controversey.  You would complain about seeding and such which would be voted by the same people who put Florida in the game.  There is no way to avoid controversey.

[Fartcus Smellwood]

its all crap...the only reason the humans voted for florida was because they didn't want to see a rematch. And whoever said the rematch would be as exciting as the first match is wrong...its a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and a would be a statement maker for U of M, how would that not be an exciting game? Anyways, the only thing I agree with is that U of M shouldnt play for the championship because they did not win their conference and that completely contradicts my argument but oh well. The National Championship will be a high scoring game.

OSU- 35
Florida- 24

Couldn't we say that we had a playoff?   Beautiful thing about a single elimination tournament is that you don't  have to beat the same team twice.  So, maybe we had a playoff with Ohio St. beating Michigan, and Florida beating Arkansas.

[sotha sil]

It would be awesome for a D1 playoff....they could keep the BCS poll to decide who gets in that way we are only debating the 8th 16th or 32nd seed...

[Cougswillwin]

Cougswill win

yeah that is an idea I like as well if I were to compromise.  The only issue is like who gets in, conference winners or all at large teams? So there is that area of debate but the idea is solid.

The teams that would get into the "playoffs" would be the top 8 in the BCS poll, regardless of how many teams from one conference make it.  My whole philosophy for this is that the best 8 teams in the country make the "BCS playoffs".  

P.S. I copywrighted the name "BCS playoffs" and this is my idea, so when they implement the "BCS playoffs" I better get all the credit...You got that Pat?   8)

See!! People like sotha sil are already trying to take my idea!! 

[bufan]

Bison, just to add to your point.  The weekend b4 Rutgers played WVU the BCS looked something like this.
1. OSU
2. Mich
3. Rutgers
4. Florida
5. USC
6. ND
7. WVU
8. Arkansas

I know this order is not exact BUT these were the TOP 8 teams at one point.  As you see they all played eachother in the last few weeks.  I understand it doesnt always work out this way but it did this year and I dont think this can be overlooked as some form of a playoff.

[Twisted2]

PLAYOFFS??!!!!  We're talkin' bout playoffs! 
Playoffs would never work.  WHat a dumb idea.  d3, D2, D1aa, NFL, and High Schools across the nation can pull it off yet D1 college football shouldn't.  The NCAA got it right with the BCS.

In this context I take that to mean "Chronically Uniformed Retarded Florida" fans.

mmmm, okay....a) give a good reason as to why playoffs would never work if they work for every other sport at every level and b) what are CURF Fans???

(someone didn't take their ritalin... )

[Mr. Ypsi]

Aw, Marcus,

You didn't like my explanation of CURF?!

[FalconsFootball]

How can anyone say that a UM and OSU rematch would not be a good game, UM left two touchdowns on the field last time they played.  And there was talk about how OSU torched the UM defense Look waht UM did to the suppossed best D in D1, they had their way with them, and overthrew two wide open receicvers on drives in which they did not score.  I think those two teams are so evenly matched that the game could go either way.  If they were to play again I think UM would come out on top. 

The only thing that scares me about the UM USC game is the fact UM likes to play down to competition.  And yes I think playing USC is playing down but thats the way it is. 

UF comes from the best conference in college football and proved they deserve a chance I think they are a very good team.  I live by the university and see them play a lot and they will  surprise people in this game. 

I am a UF and UM fan so this was a win win for me but i feel UM has a better shot at OSU.

[Fartcus Smellwood]

haha, my apologies Mr. Ypsi...I do like that explanation, I was supposed to be asking what twisted meant by CURF Fans, not you. I don't know why I referred to you, sorry.

So Twisted,

What does CURF Fans mean if you don't mind answering...
