WVU, LSU, Boise St, and USC. Stoops can't win a BCS game to save his life. I hope Mizzou throws a huge monkey wrench in it all, but I'm sure it won't happen.

Ummmm....how do the past year's results impact 2008? - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:43 10
- If you don't believe past results are a predictor of future performance, you must be a Cubs fan. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:48 8
  - Well, since you put it that way, throw out any game older than 2005, since none of the talents now were playing then. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:51 7
    - The point is that computers shouldn't overrule 2 human polls. They should just run NCAA '08 and make picks from that. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:57 6
      - This system is and always will be a joke, that's a given. I'm waiting for Obama to deliver a college football playoff. -- nm - Dano Nov 30, 17:02 1
        
        he's got so many other promises to fulfill first; if he gets to that, it would be during a 2nd term -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 17:07
      - Well, at least you're now arguing 2008 should be used instead of 2004/06/07 -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 17:00 3
        
        Pfftt....the bottom of this thread has you defending Texas, and up here you're arguing for OU. When you make up your mind, get back to me. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 17:05 2
        
        It's possible the Big 12 has 2 of the top handful of teams in the nation. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 17:07 1
        
        No, my *logic* is that people should decide if we have no playoff. If we're going to let computers decide everything, then we should've had a Gallup - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 17:10
- They can score, but their defense is vulnerable. It's OK, as long as it's not OU-UF. Then, I'd root for Al-Qaeda and Muslim extremists in Miami. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:47
the schools agreed to be ruled by the computer in exchange for gobs of BCS money. they can't complain about it now -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:43
