Sorry, I'm not following your point.
"Ratings are, at best, an educated guess."
Agreed.
Thanks......I appreciate that....that is all we want is some recognition that during the season were not the best of course but pretty damned good....after Nov I'm surprised with all the injuries that we even beat So Miss....despite what some idiots say and write, me and most of my friends in the know were very concerned about TTU's passing attack and our lack of depth in the passing dept.........
have a great day
No way Oklahoma is #3...
They are so over-rated. Texas should be #3, OK about 5th or 6th
Don't forget the most pro-communist and liberal public university in the country, Harvard and Stanford combined.
I would have liked to see Utah in a matchup with nay of those teams too. Boise State, as well as they played, would have had an almost impossible task.
Rocky Mountain teams are capable of being the best in the nation. Colorado has been an on-again off-again powerhouse for a couple of decades. BYU picked up a "title" back in the mid-80's. I don't see why Utah shouldn't be considered a contender.
yup......i know the whole story and while I think Gilbertson is a high school coach...we had him.....he inherited a screwed up program. but when people diss the pac 10 i don't point to Cal, my team, I always have pointed to USC and the Huskies and Arz. State....in the last 15 years or so UW was a powerhouse SOB that ran over people at will........the heck with all that pac 10 stuff...in our good years we are great....we have the highest winning percentage in bowl games since the inclusion of the Rose Bowl in the BCS
oh forget that pro communist stuff.....maybe the most liberal I agree but what don't realize is that alot of that stuff is stirred up by the community of Beserkely. Too many asain students to be that liberal. But it still is in the top 10 of univ world wide and don't forget.....UC Berkeley is the institution that runs Lawrence Livermore Labs and Los Alamos......so this lefty university also developes all our nuclear weapons and funds all the major physics and chem research in the world along with MIT and Cal Tech
Rogers back up is the guy that just commited from one of the JC"s in SF.......he was the JC player of the year at least in Calif....Tedford recruits real well from JC's where Rogers came from also
Fantastic. I hope it's somebody from the Big 10, preferably not Michigan. New blood.
Mature teams find ways to deal with distractions (penalties, injuries, and so forth) and win.
Iowa, natch.
Rose Bowl: Big Ten - Pac Ten. Interlopers begone.
You hinted the good record was padded by the likes of the Big 12 North. I'm saying each conference has had their equivilent of the B12 north and that perhaps the B12 north was considered bad because they lost to good teams, which wouldn't make them as bad as considered.
It's hard to know whether USC was so good last night or OU stunk so badly. It's probably a combination, but it's difficult to vault one team over another based on one game when in the head-to-head matchup OU completely shut out UT.
Would the result be the same if they replayed the game next week? It's hard to say, but OU owns UT this century and then some.
"so this lefty university also developes all our nuclear weapons and funds all the major physics and chem research in the world along with MIT and Cal Tech"
Can you please rephrase this or are you really just saying that a bunch of liberals have some kind of authority in the development of our offensive defense arsenal.
Dammit, I had hopes that Cal would fade back into football obscurity.
By the way, what Berkeley genius decided to build the Cal stadium directly over a major earthquake faultline? I've always wondered what it would do to a 4th down and short when it gives way. Automatic first down, or 4th and a mile?
well partly.......you mean if USC lost Leinart or OU had lost White during the season they would have been just as good????????......are you really saying that???? it has more to do with depth which is true and losing a lineman is not the same as losing your premier running back, QB or receiver.......it just isn't.......of course you don't go around making it an excuse.......I didn't but i did make it a "reason" that their passing attack went in the tank
Well, you sort of make a good point, but it's really damaged by the fact that the Big 12 North could barely suck pondwater out of a straw this season. Good heavens, they could barely beat each other in their matchups.
Oklahoma pounded Colorado in the championship game about half as hard as USC pounded OU last night, so that's saying something.
what I'm saying is that the University as a whole is probably no much more liberal than most universities and by that I mean the trustees and such......it does attract many liberal activist types but the Berkeley community attracts most of the attention on and off campus......It is not as bad as it is portrayed in the media or like it was in the 60's.....trust me.......but it is hard to lose that percetion......and yes........UC Berkeley runs and administers Lawrence Livermore Labs and Los Alamos....that is exactly right.....but i'm saying this is a business not run by libs, it is a multi billion dollar copr structure so it shows UC is not as liberal "overall" as you may think
