Official: "Its College Football Season" Thread

You're kidding yourself if you think any of those football players had any direct interaction with their WBB coaches.

you are very wrong there my friend. trust me the oklahoma state athletic family is very close with each other all across the board. i have read many articles where certain fb players said they were close with the womans basketball program.

Virginia Tech does not belong in a BCS game.

Neither does Ohio State. Oh wait.... they aren't!

I'm simply saying it would've had an overall impact on the student base as a whole. I'm not an OSU fan, so I'm not defending my team.

Hey CP, I'll take the one on the right!

[scott023]

It is deplorable to try and use the plane crash as an excuse for the loss. If that was the reason they never would have been up 24-7. Were they not grieving at that point? Did the grief hit them at halftime? Pretty sure Alabama never used the death of one of their players right before the season as an excuse for anything.

Bama fan. Enough said.

I guess they can choose who they want. I'll let you figure it out:

That's right, I forgot VT is the all-cupcake-conference champion. Alright, so I guess they deserve to be there against Boise State.

That's fine because she is nasty. The one on the left clearly has more class.....and is probably smarter.

[scott023]

Yeah, I guess we have no business discussing our teams or any CFB topic.

You're obviously biased. Your team already lost to LSU. Only a 'Bama fan would want to watch that match again.

Don't be shy. You'd take what you could get.

Strength of Schedule

The way they calculate SOS (strength of schedule) makes it virtually worthless. It is calculated simply by adding the win/loss records of all your opponents.

Using that metric, the Illinois game against Arkansas State (10-2) increased their SOS as much as Stanford's game against USC (10-2) increased theirs. Wisconsin's SOS improved more from their game against Northern Illinois (10-3) than it did against Nebraska (9-3).

SOS is one of those things that looks meaningful until you look at how they come up with it.

More rubbish.

No, they got blown up by Clemson 38-10 in the conference championship.

She doesn't look very classy or smart to me!
