College Football Armageddon

Submitted by jonvalk on
Well, the worst has occurred. Either ND wins next week and gets to play in the NCG or they lose and we're all subjected to an all-SEC BCS NCG again. Why do the football gods hate all that is good? Discuss.

The best part about all this to me is that the little kid on gameday this morning got almost all of his picks right and made Corso look like the midget. Too bad his favorite team was the one he picked wrong. He picked UCLA, Baylor, OU, and Utah State though off the top of my head.

I'd love to hear all about how ND is going to recapture glory only to get their brains beat in by alabama.

Yeah I guess I dont get all the bitching going on.  Alabama, the best team in the country, will likely win the MNC.  I'm not interested in seeing KSU play ND for the title of luckiest team to win all their games and benefit from fortunate scheduling.  Yes Bama's tactics are questionable, but that's up to the NCAA to crack down on.  Until then we have no choice but to compete with them.  The only potential catastrophe will be if Ohio somehow survives next weekend and we have to hear from them and the media about them.  They deserve nothing.

Essentially, we're playing in the AP national championship game.  Althought not for a shot at at, but if if we lose and what everyone expects will happen happens (alabama destroys nd), then ohio will win the AP.

This is a huge game.  We have a season to ruin.  Beat Ohio

Depends on how far Oregon drops. If they drop to 4 Alabama beats georgia in the sec championship game, ND loses to USC, Oregon wins out could be oregon Alabama NCG.

LSU wins over Arkansas + FSU win vs. Florida + Beaver win vs. Ducks + GT win followed by UGA win or Auburn win followed by  Bama win + LSU win over ND = LSU national champs.  This is obviously happening.

Ohio fans, being banned from a bowl game and as delusional as ever, are talking AP national title. We have a chance to give them a dose of reality letting them know that they aren't that good and hopefully we can make sure that Braxton Miller doesn't get to put on a suit and make a trip to NYC.

This seems to have been thrown around as concensus, but are we sure Alabama jumps to #2? Why can't Oregon stay ahead of them? It's not unreasonable to think Stanford is better that A&M, and they took Stanford to OT with a boat load of defensive players out.

As you may know, Jerry Palm does an estimation of the BCS rankings every Sunday, and the link below provides his own data for all games played through yesterday.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/rankings/bcs

You will note that the only two Big Ten teams in the Top 25, by his figuring, are Nebraska (14) and Michigan (19). The top five in this prediction are, in order - Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia,  Florida and Oregon. We shall find out for real at  8:30 PM tonight, of course, but if this turns out to be the case, I guess we wait  for the results of the SEC Championship game then and / or hope that USC can find its inner former self against ND.
