Ummmm....how do the past year's results impact 2008?

Oklahoma has a very good team who can score with anyone. They might not stop anyone, which is why I'd still say Florida is the #1 team in the nation; but those past teams are not a symptom of a bigger problem (ala the Big Ten style vs SEC/USC types)

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
