slickvick Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think we have all written in USC as the consensus to reach the national title game this year.My question is who will they face in that game?I vote Virginia Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think we have all written in USC as the consensus to reach the national title game this year.My question is who will they face in that game?I vote Virginia Tech 1024981[/snapback] Texas, VaTech and MichState all look strong to me so far, so its hard to pick one yet. I picked MichState because if they get thru the Big10 schedule unscathed I feel they will deserve it more than TX due to the lousy SOS in the Big12 this year. And USC still needs to get past ASU, Cal and ND all on the road - and a much improved UCLA team to end the schedule. Not that easy. The Ducks proved a fired up team at home can stick with them for 30 minutes, so let's see if any of these others can do it for 60....

theeohiostate Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I voted for the Bucks of course, but if a team were to go undefeated in the SEC, like Florida or Georgia, they'd get my vote. An undeated Florida or Georgia would appeal to me better than Texas due to SOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, sound logic if I ever heard it. 1026407[/snapback] What does this have to do with anything? This is a long season, are you suggesting that a team with 1 loss can't play in the National Title game I chose OSU, because i feel if they run the table in the Big 10, SOS will boost them ahead of any other 1 loss team, and i'd bet my life the Texas does the 2 step in the Big 12 and loses at least once.

How's that logic for ya' 1026865[/snapback] Even if Texas slips, they will still be ranked ahead of OSU. In fact OSU has a much greater chance of getting girlie slapepd again, than Texas does once, and it has nothing to do with SOS. Let me guess Michigan and Iowa are going to helps OSUs SOS, get real. Purdue in the end may have 3 loses as well. Id put Texas Tech vs any team in the Big 10 outside of maybe Mich St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droobie42 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 If texas doesn't lose, and Vince stays in the heisman race, Va Tech, Florida, and Michigan State will get screwed because Texas isn't going to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote Quimby2 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I have to say Texas. Love to be able to say FSU but they aren't there... yet. In the next two years we are going to be making our runs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly it is a different era, I doubt anyone will every be able to string 47 together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Wow, 22 more is another 2 years. USC will have the Pac-10 record IF (not a done deal either) they beat ASU on Saturday, and 'we'll just have to take it one game at a time from there.' That's how Coach Carroll does it...

You are correct though it is a different era. The Sooners are not allowed to carry as many scholarships as they can hand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notre Dame is the most overrated, overhyped football program over the last 30 years. Everyone talks about how tough their schedule is Come on ..... they play 4-5 tough games each year, no conference rivals? Their defense is soft. Lowly Washington moved the ball up and down the field on them Saturday and if it wasn't for a couple of turnovers and the "normal" poor officiating against ND opponents Washington would have beat them! Please let's not put Notre Dame in the same class as the Top 20 teams in College football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
