NCAA Football '11-'12

[grumbler]

I'd think it would be the Michigan-Nebraska winner against the Wisconsin-Penn State winner.  And I expect that Wisconsin will beat Penn State.  No idea who will win the Michigan-Nebraska game.

I don't see Penn State winning again this season.  And I wouldn't count OSU out, either.  If they win out, they have the tiebreaker against the other two-loss teams in the division.

Luckily, there is no chance that we will have that ridiculous OSU-Michigan title game that the absurd Leaders and Legends setup was designed to produce.

This is the dumbest single move in the history of college conferences.  May it lead to the death of the BCS.

I can see moving to the SEC.  At least the SEC allows their teams to promise scholarships that don't exist, so there is an advantage to joining.  But to jump ship to join a conference on the far side of the continent, with no compensating upside?  Madness.

I understand why it is all happening, but I hate that we're getting to this point. You have the ACC which was a traditional southern coastal conference that now goes from Boston (and maybe Connecticut, soon) to Pittsburgh down to the very tip of Florida. The SEC is going to range out to Missouri and Texas, the Big XII is essentially C-USA in terms of geographic spread as is the Big East if it survives (they're looking to add Boise, Air Force, Houston, SMU, Navy and UCF I believe.)

I hate the destruction of the traditional conferences, but I'm also at the point now, where if we really are going to end up with the 4 super conferences eventually I might just say fuck it and let some central body divide the country by strict geographic lines into 4 conferences each with 2 divisions and 16 teams total. Then anyone not a top-64 team, have a similar arrangement with 4 more conferences of a lower tier (Troy and UAB have to play somewhere.)

If you're going to basically shit on the memory of traditional College Football might as well do it in a way that makes sense. West Virginia in a conference where its closest foe is almost 900 miles away makes no sense. I'm still not even all that comfortable with Nebraska in the B1G but that pales in comparison. If Texas and OU had gone to the Pac-12 it having "Pac" in its name would be just as ludicrous as the ACC being known as the "Atlantic" Coast Conference.

Something like this would have made more sense I think geographically while still making financial sense for the winners.

Let me sum up the state of college football for you pessimists. This week opened with the university of miami of florida losing to an inferior geek school populated by douche bags. Seriously, has anyone here ever met someone from the university of virginia who wasnt a complete seeping douche bag?  Sure we have all heard stories that go " well i had this neighbor once whose nephew went to high school with this chick who dated a guy whose brother is a uva grad and the brother was an alright guy"  .  But ive yet to meet the guy who actually knew someone from uva that was anything other than a complete douche bag.

Florida choked away a 14 point lead to lose to georgia.

Finally fsu shut out an acc chump.

All is once again right in the college football world. 

If we applied this to presidential politics we can expect a liberal candidate from massachusetts to get creamed in the national election. This is why the republican primary voters must avaoid mitt.

I worked once with a dude from UVA who was pretty cool.

I agree that any weekend in which two of the scumbag Florida teams lose is good, the fact is that it isn't nearly as good as a weekend when all three lose.  Still, if one of them has to win, it is best that it is the insignificant one.  When was the last time anyone gave a rat's ass about FSU winning?

Luck needs to shave off that beard. He looks like either a southern meth head or a rapist.

Why can't he be both?  Don't limit the man.

He's in Cali--being both would probably help him fit right in.

He's a college kid, I like the beard.  It better be gone by draft day though.

He reminds me a little of that dorky looking actor who was in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Uggh, Arizona loses another bizarro game to the Huskies.

Normally I would be all "Hey, WTF, who cares, basketball season is coming up!" but Arizona just lost an exhibition game to a D2 school. At home.

I wouldve thought that the loss to appalachian state wouldve made you forget about the embarassing loss um suffered at the hands of fsu in 91. I will concede that most um fans are decent folk but we both know its more fun to drink with. Spartans.

I think he looks more like a war criminal from Azerbaijan or so.

  No kidding.  I think you hit the nail on the head.
