Game Thread BCS Championship Game, tOSU vs. Florida - Jan 8th

[Bucklion]

First of all, strength of schedule is determined before the college football season begins, not afterwards as you and a few others seem to think. While you have to play conference opponents, you are allowed a bit of freedom in scheduling non-conference opponents (Hence why Michigan's SoS was better than OSU's).

Second of all, I never said that no school could go undefeated in a BCS conference; I stated that OSU wouldn't go undefeated nor make it to the national title game if they played in the SEC, and I can say that with 100% certainty.

I'm not a SEC fan, but competition in the SEC is far above the competition in the Big 10. While, yes, a few SEC teams did have a down year they're still consistently better than the Big 10 (Which should be renamed the Big 3).

Oh. And in college football there are a such thing as style points. ND loses the big games and usually needs some heroic fourth quarter comeback to beat the teams they should have easily crushed.

Uh...total bullshit. You said the following:

"Do you honestly believe that any other team could have played your schedule and gone to the national title if it wasn't ranked #1 at the beginning of the year? Yeah. OSU was undefeated, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they played a relatively weak schedule and were exposed when pitted against a far better team than they were accustomed to playing. "

The answer is yes, any team from a BCS conference could have played our schedule and gone to the NC game if they went undefeated, no matter where they were ranked at the beginning of the season.

SOS is determined before the season...that's nice. Who gives a fuck? If every team on Notre Dame' schedule ends the year 2-10, that means quite a bit less than in every team on their schedule goes 10-2. I don't care what the number before the season is, and no one else does either. Who cares if you beat Florida State if they finish 6-6? No one.

And as for the SEC being better than the Big Ten, you have nothing to base that on but your 2002 bitterness. I don't remember Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Mississippi, and Mississippi State lighting it up much, Tennessee was 5-6 last year, Alabama lost 6 games, Arkansas was recently terrible before this year...every conference has bottom-feeders...you know, like Miami and NCState were in the ACC this year.

Nice to meet you God.

Your 100% certainty is complete opinion...therefore, I can say with 100% certainty that you have no clue as your speculation/bias is just as obvious.

Well... Let's see here...

Florida is in the SEC.
Florida crushed OSU.

I stand by my original comment.

Don't play that game here today...worry about your own program and the disarray in Coral Gables.

Is that supposed to hurt or something? I fully well recognize that Miami is having a few down years. I don't make excuses for their poor showing on the field. I also realize that if you put them in the SEC they'd get crushed.

I don't live in a fantasy world. I'm more of a realist :)

Last warning.

For disagree'ing? Mmmkay.

Weren't you in the Big Least back then?

Great ammo, pal.

Yup. They were in the Big East. If that's the game you want to play, then why can't OSU rack off 34 straight wins and they're in the Big Ten?

 

[Bucklion]

Yeah. Let's also leave out the fact that Miami was the defending national champions, were riding a 34 game win streak and are/were generally considered to be one of the better football teams in college football.

That really IS saying something!

Er, dipshit, the point is that saying a team is the greatest thing since a team 2 years ago isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of their place in posterity, but then again, in Miami years, where football began in 1983 and probation years magically don't count, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since recorded history only includes about 15 seasons.

great logic. Definitely 100% reliable.

For disagree'ing? Mmmkay.

No for being a troll...obvious. Big East vs. Big Ten...ummmm. See my previous statement.

So far all you have proved is that one team in the SEC could beat us. Care to give it another try because everything else has been merely speculation.......

We beat Penn State who beat Tennessee who lost by only 1 to Florida
We beat Michigan who beat Wisconsin who beat Arkansas who was in the SEC championship so I guess that makes them #2 in the SEC.........

see where this is going? your speculating and ya got nothin.......go on....it's ok......u can't win every argument.

...and one more "realist" down the tubes.

Do these trolls all crawl out from under the same rock?

Damn.

Damn.

How disappointing...it was fun pointing out how stupid all of his arguments were. Oh well, it was probably past his bedtime. Too bad he didn't realize Miami would have gotten smoked in the Big Ten this year too.

I'm just tired of dealing with them...

Oh, I wasn't criticizing you or your decision at all...as Al Gore might say, "It was time...for him...to go..."

It's bad enough all the UF trolls.......then you get all the fairweather fans in the SEC and the likes..... :(

Damn.

Yeah, I havn't quite understood most of the trolls today. They come in to say "haha! You lost!" yet they have very little to stand on, all of them going with the big 10 being soft which coming from a Miami fan is just plain hysterical.

A couple of days and it will all go back to normal :)

At risk of sounding like a kiss ass, good job on chasing off the trolls though :)

 

[scooter1369]

The best part about that last guy is he's talking smack about us. He's a Miami fan. Well done against the mighty Wolfpack of Nevada.

 

[Jaxbuck]

I see that fans of other schools fail to realize there is a pecking order to this shit.

Quite simply, UF fans have the right to talk..no one else does. We just played for our 2nd NC in 5 years and our 4th BCS game in the same span.

I'm not apologizing to anyone for that.

 

[WoodyWorshiper]

Thanks go-gators for pointing out TBDBITL. The double "script ohio" and the first 15 seconds of the game were about all we had to cheer. I'll say one thing though, when you guys decide to hand someone their ass at least you have the decency to put it on a platter. Peace.
