I found the Mel Kiper section of the SI article on agents and college sports the most surprising - Beaker Oct 14, 11:00
Among the least surprising news ever: The BCS doesn't care about intergrity, fairness or logical consistancy. (link) - musubi Oct 14, 10:59 36
- aside: I think any system that uses margin of victory should cap it at 28 pts. -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:12 1
  - Yeah, I can get behind this. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:14
- why would they? - znufrii Oct 14, 11:10
- Ohio State should be 5th, it says, while the other polls all have them as #1. So Will should like that. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 14, 11:03 11
  - There isn't a single reason that OSU should be #1 right now other than they started #2 and #1 lost - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:08 10
    - Based on strength of schedule so far, you're right. If they run the table on the next 6, they deserve #1 - TWuG Oct 14, 11:11 4
      - I hate the BCS for the simple reason D-1 football is the one NCAA sport that doesn't settle it on the field. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:16 3
        
        I hate poll inertia. Hate hate hate. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:22 2
        
        Hey! -- nm - Notre Dame Oct 14, 11:23 1
        
        Don't worry TD Jesus.....you won't need to worry about the BCS for a while. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:24
    - I had an Ohio State fan in the office this week talking about Boise State's schedule. I laughed at them. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:09 4
      - So far....BSU's played a tougher schedule. That'll change but hey, as long as they hang 55 up on the victim each weak and win by 40+; they're doing - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:11 3
        
        Peterson will take his foot off the gas, when they go over 50 part of it is the second and third stringers doing that -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:13 2
        
        In my mind, take the foot off the gas the 2nd play of the 3rd quarter. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:15 1
        
        He is a nervous nelly and won't do that until the start of the 4th, but then again, its his job on the line. -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:16
- but but but... it's better than what we used to have, so let's keep it. -- nm - BCS Supporters Oct 14, 11:01 20
  - That's what's the most frustrating thing to me, it's not better. I'd rather go back to the old nonsense system that the BCS. - musubi Oct 14, 11:03 14
    - Really? Where we'd have a split championship every 3-4 years because #1 and #2 weren't playing each other? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:04 13
      - Aboslutely, I'd rather have that. The BCS is a mirage that doesn't fix what it claims to. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 11:09 4
        
        All the BCS has ever claimed to do is match the #1 team against the #2 team in a final game - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:10 3
        
        75? - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:14
        
        And it's reasoning for doing that is to supposely create a legitimate championship, which it doesn't do. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 11:12 1
        
        IMO, It creates more of a legit championship that the previous system. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:22
      - that just made the other Bowls worth watching. Now unless your team is in the game who cares about the John Hancock Bowls of the world... -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 11:06 7
        
        right. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 14, 11:08
        
        The John Hancock Bowls aren't going to go away if we scrapped the BCS. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:07 5
        
        No, but instead of 1.5 bowls that matter, you could have 7 or 11 depending on the tourney size. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:18 4
        
        You'd have more games that matter, yes. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:20 3
        
        Why would we? I'm not giving every conference a shot here; this ain't March Madness. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:23 2
        
        You have to. The Utah, TCU, Boise crowd would force it. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:24 1
        
        That's the 7th spot...maybe 8th if the WAC isn't dismembered. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:26
  - yeah all that tradition for the Bowl games when every one actaully meant something was terrible -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 11:02 4
    - BCS isn't watering down the bowls. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:05 3
      - that and with the loss of tradition (Big10/PAC 10 in the Rose), they are all worthless except the Championship Game -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 11:07
      - There's 1.5 games that matter anymore. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:06 1
        
        It's become the polar opposite of college basketball - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:09
begins taking applications for the new Mint Julip Iced-Tea Party -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 14, 10:57

        Very few of us have girlfriends. We're either single or shackled them to our person with the bonds of marriage. - TFox Oct 14, 10:56 1
        
        Right now, TT is in the baby phase. I very much look forward to the "Do you know a good divorce attorney?" phase. -- nm - David Oct 14, 10:57
        
        We either found ones just like us in interests or - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:55 7

        I just laughed. (tana: what's funny??) -- nm - chromanda Oct 14, 11:11
    - Observation: I totally believe that you would make a spreadsheet of this. -- nm - David Oct 14, 10:52 9
      - the spreadsheet is nature's perfect tool. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 10:54 5
        
        In many cases, it's user is nature's imperfect tool. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:55
        
        I thought that was Glen Beck. -- nm - David Oct 14, 10:55 3
        
        I always think that's a misplaced insult, because tools have uses. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 10:58 2

  - and choking? Phil ain't got nothing on me when it comes to the choke -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 10:46 6
    - Isn't a choke supposed to be when you play beneath the level you should? - Will Hunting Oct 14, 10:47 5
      - Yeah, but everyone should make some of my misses. I lip the cup at an unbelievable rate. -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 10:51 4
