Big time rivalry games this weekend.

UGA/GT
UF/FSU
OU/OSU
Auburn/Alabama
Oregon State/Oregon

I'll be watching the UF/FSU game and the Auburn/Alabama game. I'll keep an eye on the OU/OSU game this evening. That one should/could get out of hand.

I expect a great game between Auburn and Alabama. This is one of those games where you throw the records out the window and play smash mouth football. Auburn's defense matches up well against a fairly anemic Crimson Tide offense.

BOOMER SOONER

:stir

This is a trash talking thread. Please don't be offended.

[HurricaneJesus]

I'm hoping the Gators aren't getting ahead of themselves this weekend. FSU pretty much hates us, has some great athletes, and has nothing to lose so they'll be dangerous if they catch the Gators sleeping.
Curious to see what happens with OU tonight.
I'm not expecting the Bama Auburn game to be much of a game past the first half.

[Doodad]

Go Dawgs! This game is a slugfest.

[ljplum12]

You forgot TTU/Baylor :D

[Lawn Jockey]

I expected more out of South Carolina in their showdown with Clemson.

However, GT/UGA has turned into a good game.

^^^^

Be assured that I am (again) rooting for TT.

[RonH]

GO OSU! I hate to see my longhorns get screwed by the BCS! :D

Sorry OU fans. I just can't help myself!

I think even the local OU Fans want OSU to win sometimes! The OSU challenge.. can they do it??!! Probably not.. but we always hope!! :D

[Diablo]

Texas Longhorns #2 and smashed A&M on Thursday!!!! They dominated the Aggies so that won them some style points. If OU wins by a small amount, Texas goes to the championship!!!!! I hate to root for OU but I guess that I have to. Just hope that they barely win and look bad doing it. Not likely though since they are probably all juiced up to play their rivalry with OU state.

Texas 45 OU 35
Remember the outcome of Texas OU! Texas beat OU!!!!


The eyes of Texas are upon you, All the live long day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you, You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them, At night, or early in the morn'.
The eyes of Texas are upon you, Till Gabriel blows his horn!
Go Longhorns!!!!

Nah man....TT won't move up that much. OU stuck the fork in them. Of course, I will be the first to admit I don't understand the BCS most of the time and never have so I could be dead wrong. There should be a playoff system. I am fully prepared for OU to move ahead of Texas, but I don't have to like it. :D

If your situation is correct, then let me hope that OU wins by 1. God I hate this system.

If OSU beats OU, then it is a two way tie between TT and UT for the Big 12 South. TT holds the tiebreaker by virtue of their head to head win. Therefore, TT goes to the Big 12 Championship game (assuming they beat Baylor). The BCS standings have nothing to do with it in this case.

The only way the BCS standings apply to the tiebreaker is in case of a three way tie, which would be the case if both OU and TT win.

Should Baylor somehow beat TT, the BCS standings again have nothing to do with it, as it would be a two-way tie between Texas and OU, and Texas goes to the Big 12 Championship game by virtue of their win against OU.

AFTER all the games this week and all the conference championships next week...THEN the BCS standings really matter. The top two...whomever they may be...play in the BCS Championship, and the rest fall where they may.

Texas is either going to the BCS Championship game (one of two ways...getting into the Big 12 Championship game and winning it...or not getting in and having the Big 12 North Champ, Missouri, upset the Big 12 South Champ), or they're going to the Fiesta Bowl as a BCS at large, Big 12 #2.

Thanks. Now I see where you guys are coming from. Damn, I really do hate this system and I am not saying that because Texas will probably get screwed. I think all 3 teams (meaning if TT and OU win today) should play this off and then the team that wins moves on. I hate bringing politics into football!

Uggggghhhhhh

UGA losses to GT.

[Doodad]

That was a horrible game from the officiating crew in Athens GA. Roddy was on the line on that touchdown and even the TV crew would not show a good angle. Bah.

Good game GT fans, they did look good.

[Lawn Jockey]

You can be assured that the Texas screwing is just beginning. It will come to fruition tomorrow afternoon when the BCS poll comes out. :roll

Yeah, UT beat A&M....scored 49 points. OU beat A&M...scored 66 points.

OU will hang it in OSU tonight but good. It will not surprise me if they don't put 65 or 70 on the board.

Yeah, I remember 45-35. I also remember the last time something like this happened.....and UT lost to A&M....and OU went to the B12S Championship. Do you?

You'll likely forget the 45-35 after tonight. I know I'd want to.

Baylor is looking good so far. I really hope they can pull this one out. Keep running the ball like they are doing and they have a chance!

Ron

[Lawn Jockey]

TT 28 Baylor 28 3 minutes into 4th quarter. TT just intercepted the ball and has it at the Baylor 38.

:eek:

Leave it to TT to REALLY screw things up. :roll Perennial chokers.:roll

[mge80]

They'd have to do some REAL choking at this point.

Baylor made it a game for a half, but just doesn't have enough to stick with it for the entire game.

[Lawn Jockey]

ATTN UT FANS: Instead of remembering 45-35.......remember TT 35 Baylor 28. That, coupled with an OU win/loss later tonight.........put the final nail in your coffin.

****now out of trash talking mode****
****enjoys the fact that if OU loses.......TT wins B12S......not UT****

[RonH]

It honestly doesn't matter. The "BCS Championship" means nothing more than some trumped up bragging rights.

Until it is decided by something other than human voters and mythical computer rankings, it means absolutely nothing at all.

And since ESPN has just ponied up huge sums of guaranteed money for the "BCS" through 2014, nothing is going to change the current format.

Completely agree. It's become a joke to me. Would any of the top tier teams really want to see USC in an 8 team playoff as good as their defense has been? Now they'll go crush some lame conference champion in the who-gives-a-sh!t bowl. Play it on the field. Could you imagine the excitement of a Utah or Boise State team making a run on a true national title playoff system? Every other sport in America is decided on the field, except for ice skating which is decided by judges...oh and politicking.

Here's a great article...

UF-FSU was pretty much how it's been. Gator's look s-trong and next week's SEC playoff is the top bill. BUT...I'll reassert with both South Carolina's and Georgia's out of conference losses...the SEC is way down this year and there are only two good teams in the conference, top to bottom.

I can't wait to watch Boise State in another BCS bowl. Their winning record over the last 5 years or so is impressive.

Looks like the Rose Bowl will now be USC/PSU. Much better match up.......rather than a rematch.

:agree

The OSU fumble was CLEARLY a fumble. The OU fumble that clearly WAS NOT a fumble got reviewed. I wonder what it takes to get an intentional grounding call any more. I counted no less that three times that Robinson was on the way down when he threw the ball....on two of them the flag should have been thrown.

I believe the umpire had a flask of Southern Comfort in his sock.:drink

It's hard to play 16 on 11 football and win.

UT or OU will annialate Misery in the Championship game.

Good luck to both teams.......a case can be made for both.

Well, we do know the winner of the SEC Champ game goes to Miami this year.

The BigXII South, well that's a mess. At this point, because the versus wins are circular, I say you have to take out each of the 3 teams losses and vote on who's done what since. Texas says they beat OU and should go, but they leave out the part about Texas Tech beating them. Texas Tech claims victory over Texas who beat OU, then loses to OU. Now you have to wait on a computer to decide, wonderful. :dunno

What will really screw it up is if Mizzou wins the BigXII, then USC gets in the title game.


Go Gators!!!:drink

I'll be shocked if Alabama survives Florida. I think Gators win pretty easily...

No way do I take Bama lightly going into this game. They're a great and well-coached team with some absolute elephants (pun intended) for an offensive line...especially Andre Smith.

I remember 1999 all too well when Bama won at the Swamp in OT and then the rematch in Atlanta that year...no one expected Bama to be able to beat UF twice in the same season.

Regardless of the outcome, I think both Bama and UF are going to have to earn the victory this weekend in what will be the toughest match-up for both teams this year so far.

[PUCKBOY99]

SEC Champ is in a dome, right ?

I want both teams to be able to play their best games...And I'd love to see a team from Florida bend Saban over & do to him what he did to the 'Fins & fans of S. FLA !!!!! :FM

[Bulldog]

Wait a second. That doesn't make sense. Based on the current BCS standings, USC is 5th. Texas and OU are both ahead of USC. So it shouldn't matter who plays Missouri. One or the other goes to the National Championship before USC. You don't have to be your conference champion to play for the National Title.

[Lawn Jockey]

What will really screw it up is if Mizzou wins the BigXII, then USC gets in the title game.

The "likely" scenario under that situation would be the B12S runner up.

[Jason Carter]

You don't have to be your conference champion to play for the National Title.

That's the only reason LSU played for the title last year and not Georgia.

[HurricaneJesus]

That's the only reason LSU played for the title last year and not Georgia.

? You must be confused. UGA didn't even play in the SEC championship game.

Actually if Missouri beats OU, then Texas could go to the National Championship. (edit: After reading the rest of this thread I see this has been mentioned already).

The BigXII South Runner-Up could go, but with Oregon State's loss, that puts USC in the lead for the PAC-10. Should be interesting to see how the voters work this out.

This is not a Big 12 problem. Any conference divided into two divisions (North, South, East, West) can.........and will.......eventually have this dilemma. It just so happened to be in the Big 12 this year.........but to think it can't or won't happen in the Big East, Conference USA, SEC, or ACC is naive at best. It is not a question of "if".......it is only a question of "when".

Every conference..........or no conference should have championships. The Big 10 and Pac 10 not having one while most of the others do further makes this a cluster f*#?.

OU under Stoops in "Big Games" [vs Top 10] back to '02:

2008: 45-35 loss to Texas, win over TT 65-21, and ??
2007: 38-17 win over Mizz, then lose to WV 48-28
2006: 28-10 loss to Tx, 43-42 loss to Boise St
2005: 45-12 loss to Tx
2004: Win over Tx 12-0, loss to USC 55-19
2003: Win over Tx 65-13, loss to Kan St 35-7, loss to LSU 21-14
2002: Win over Tx 35-24, win over Wash St 34-14

That's 6-8 vs Top 10 teams for an "elite" program.

Not real impressive.

OU should beat Mizz, but by track record, that's no sure thing.

If OU gets beat in BCS Championship it'll just give validity to the pattern. They'd better win it all. Again, not a Stoops fan.

2008: 45-35 loss to Texas, win over TT 65-21, and ??
2007: 38-17 win over Mizz, then lose to WV 48-28
2006: 28-10 loss to Tx, 43-42 loss to Boise St
2005: 45-12 loss to Tx
2004: Win over Tx 12-0, loss to USC 55-19
2003: Win over Tx 65-13, loss to Kan St 35-7, loss to LSU 21-14
2002: Win over Tx 35-24, win over Wash St 34-14

That's 6-8 vs Top 10 teams for an "elite" program.

Not real impressive.

OU should beat Mizz, but by track record, that's no sure thing.

If OU gets beat in BCS Championship it'll just give validity to the pattern. They'd better win it all. Again, not a Stoops fan.

As has been mentioned earlier in this thread..........OU, like marijuana, gets smoked in bowls.

The thing to remember here is........OU actually GETS to the bowl to get smoked in.

One thing I DO know is UF better have left all those dumb a$$ penalties on the field at FSU....'cause Bama won't be settling for 3 pointers !


Man, do you got that right! Pope Urban better have had a come to jeebus meeting house revival w/them boys.

They have to play it so the cheerleaders will know not to s*&t on the field. They'll quit playing and let them graze in a little while.:stir

I wonder if Tide will get the poop stains out of Saban's britches after he loses?
