Coffeeman Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 You are only kidding yourself if you think the the BCS is all about which teams are more deserving. It's all about which teams best manipulate the BCS system. Hopefully the BCS will prove me wrong on Sunday should the Sooners get the win and LSU wins the SEC. This is so transparent its sickening. If LSU was still #1, you'd be saying how great the BCS is. C'mon - you know a 2 loss team will not be in it, and until we have a playoff, they shouldn't be. Enjoy the weekend.....

Rockerbraves Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 2 things: How does a team manipulate the system and what would happen if the Sooners and LSU win? Suggest you ask the expert Coach Tressel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the BCS will prove me wrong on Sunday should the Sooners get the win and LSU wins the SEC. 2 things: How does a team manipulate the system and what would happen if the Sooners and LSU win? Wow, here I was about to blast rocker for stating the obvious and assuming that nobody else gets it. Mel Kiper said it just the other morning. If you're a major program in a major conference, you don't schedule anyone good out of conference. Nobody will ever keep an undefeated Big 10, Pac 10, Big 12, SEC, or even Big East team out of the NC game. Nor will they keep a one loss team out if everyone else has two. See this year for instance. If, OSU, WVU, or Mizz had another loss because they played another elite team, they'd be out of it. It's less likely that your SOS will keep you out than an extra loss. I should add. Rocker, get over it. LSU is simply not good and does not "deserve" to be in it anyway. Edited November 30, 2007 by detlef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When USC and the Pac 10 fell short a few years back they had enough pull to get the BCS powers to overhaul the entire system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU is apparently pretty good if the BCS guru from collegebcs.com is telling the buckeye faithful not to assume anything if Missouri loses this weekend.

budlitebrad Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Check out the ESPN.com map for the poll between OU and Mizzou. Oklahoma is at 78% for OU, second only to Ohio at 79%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockerbraves Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Glad you said pretty good, and not great. Because we all know, this LSU team is not great. We should at least find out today just how well this LSU team can handle adversity with the Miles to Michigan, Bo to Nebraska leaks and our starting QB very questionable for the SEC Championship game.

GWPFFL BrianW Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 At this point, with 2 losses to ultra average teams, one of which barley bowl eligable, LSU has no shot to prove they are on an elite level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockerbraves Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 It was reported down here on one of our local TV stations that Jerry Palm thinks LSU could jump Ohio State if the Tigers win against Tennessee. Jerry Palm runs "CollegeBCS" and is considered a BCS guru, like Brad Edwards of ESPN. http://www.sportsline.com/columns/weblogs/entry/10447991 Who should be #1 LSU SEC Champs or them Buckeyes Big 10 Champs?

Nope, that would have been OU, USC, or Georgia in that order. Just my humble view. I think LSU was the best matchup OSU could have received. I'm sure we are going to hear a lot about last season and that's good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck LSU is your best matchup and your team is an underdog. Don't sell your team short. They would likely be favored over OU and USC. Do think Georgia would have been about a 2 point favorite.
