The teams in a conference can only win half their games overall. Even the botton of the Big Ten won the majority of their non-conference games. Between the 11 teams, the entire conference lost only 6 games. Only three games to teams not in the top 10.
possibly....
Depends on how well UGA's offense is playing that day
I wish he had saved one of those misses for Georgia.
The PAC-10 sucked this year. End of story. Wasn't hard for Oregon and UCLA to have the records they did this year.
U of W is a total trainwreck.
Washington St and Arizona St stunk up the joint as well.
Besides Oregon and UCLA, USC had nothing to be challenged on in thier conference.
I give USC credit for how they played that game against Notre Dame. Was one of the best college football games this year.
But I think Texas will kill them at the bowl game.
Geeeeeeee...Ohio state seems to be pretty good this year, I think I remember them getting beat...methinks I do.
I'm not putting a whole lot of effort into this. The year Osborne reinstated Phillips after hitting his girlfriend, weren't Damon Benning and James Sims also arrested for domestic abuse, wasn't Riley Washington charged with attempted second-degree murder, and wasn't Tyrone Williams charged with firing shots into an occupied car?
"Then was beaten in its bowl game" -- Nebraska's record in its last 15 Bowl games as a Big 8 team was 5 and 10, wasn't it? Trying to find the figures, but weren't 8 of those 10 losses to teams with worse rankings in the AP?
Nebraska was a very,very good football program in a conference that was sometimes a two-program conference (although both very good program), and sometimes only a one-program conference, otherwise filled with very, very, very mediocre teams at best. It never had to prove itself five or six times a year against very good opponents. It never had to play teams with the speed of a Miami, FSU, or PAC 10 team until a bowl game (and then we all know what generally happened, until the criminals hit the field).
For the past 25 year, Nebraska can't win its bowl games with the regularity a good team should. A great state. A great university. 99+% of the kids on the teams over the last twenty years are probably the salt of the earth. It has a great program. It just gets overrated because people consider its regular season romps against Our Lady of the Cornfield instead of looking at its record against ranked opponents and bowl game opponents.
they beat Ohio State, Ohio STate is the match of any team in the SEC, especially in Columbus....
Auburn's year was last year. LSU lost to a crappy UT team, but even without that loss, I couldn't put them ahead of either USC or UT
Are you kidding me??? Those numbers are insane. The one that jumps out at me is the 513 all purpose yards, this from a guy who doesn't have the ball in his hand every play like Vince Young.
yeah....
but probably not their 4th NC.
I don't think they would have been able to surpass Ohio State or Miami in the BcS that year.
Sure he did. You guys just didnt hear about it over there on the east coast. He said he would be more than willing to play if the NCAA would allow it.
Reggie Bush is a pure stud. There is no denying that.
And I'm NOT a USC fan.
That guy is ridiculous.
Since we are talking football on a conservative forum, I felt it necessary to point out the vast number of liberal douchebags that graduate from Austin. I will take a 5-6 football team along with my conservative campus with a military tradition over an 12-0 football team and a faculty and student body overrun with Anti-American, Anti-Family, Pro-Gay, Socialist, John Kerry supporting, Anti-Prop 2, liberal a-holes.
I can't wait until Friday.
Cop out! ;-)
I need to bump for later refutal or acknowledgement.
I forgot to mention that after the Big 12 championship, we'll be concentrating on the #2 ranked Longhorn basketball team. It will be quite nice to be the first college in history to win all three major sports championships (The baseball trophy is already in the case).
LOL!!
UT is a big school...yes, there are those organizations...but there are also many, many, conservative orgs too (and Professors). (And I am not just talking about the college republicans)
Yes...we'll see what happens on Friday. I hear you guys are teaching revely to catch, if not, might be a good idea.
USC is good because of TWO guys.
Leinhart and Bush.
Without those two, they MIGHT be ranked 15 or 16.
