Nice job on the graphics...
I'll post my picks after I give it a serious look.
thanks :)
It took a while to get all of them to line up right for the most part...
I had it written out 3 days ago, but I wanted to let the lines adjust a bit....
Nice job, Mike.
BTTT
Nebraska just hired Alabamas D-Line coach, I think his experience playing Auburn this year is going to matter quite a bit. Nebraska will play a game of dare you with Auburn, we will dare them to pass. We know that if Nebraska wants to stop the run they will stop the run. Its going to be one of the better games this bowl season.
Here is a scenario for you to ponder. Florida beats the Buckeyes by a score of 23/21. A week earlier Michigan stomps the Trojans 45/10 and Boise State routs the Sooners 34/3 leaving Boise State an unbeaten 13/0. Who's number 1 then?
Nebraska's defense isn't what worries me.
It's the overly conservative playcalling that afflicts Bill Callahan in big games.
It will be Florida if that scenario pans out.
Michigan might get some AP votes, probably not enough though.
Thank you :)
It seems that going conservative is the type of game plan that works against Auburn. They are fairly weak against the run.
yeah but if there isn't the threat of a pass and you don't have Darren McFadden in the backfield, Auburn can put 8 in the box and be ok on the outside....
My point is there should be a playoff with the top 4 ranked teams at least. Three more games after the bowls. Two of the games would be played on the Saturday before the NFL AFC/NFC conference championships. The winners playing on the Saturday before the Super Bowl. The Buckeyes can solve this issue with a win but, a Boise State win too, especially a rout over the Sooners will leave 2 unbeaten teams.
True and I agree with you to a certain point, however, this is the system we have, and I don't think Boise State would qualify for any tournament with the top 4 teams this year anyway....
I don't like the BCS, but that's the system this year and that's what I focused on.
You did a good job. I'm not dis-agreeing with you. Sports Illustrated had an article on a playoff scenario a few weeks ago taking the top 8 teams after the bowls. It was interesting.
Do you want the picks Freepmailed to you or just posted on the thread?
yeah now with 8 teams Boise should be in the mix.....SI screwed that one up.
but I don't htink they are top 4....
just posted on the thread.
Easier to reference that way :)
The National Championship is his agenda this year.
Beware the Vest!
Don't you remember that King Day Classic? It wasn't really a bowl game though -- rather it was one of those All-Star games. As I recall, it was Division I-A All-Stars versus Division I-AA, II, and III All-Stars....it was played on MLK Day for a year or two....
That International Bowl rather turns me off...I don't know why...it wouldn't be so bad if it featured players from Canada maybe (CFL hopefuls from various schools in Canada, or maybe one Canadian college against a US college....) But why would two US teams want to go to Toronto this time of year?
