[Sports] NCAA College Football Thread

[EigthAv]

Are any of youz interested in college football? I love it........ am a big longtime fan of the U of Alabama and SEC football in general.

I'm glad Texas moved up and Alabama moved back to 3rd just in time for their big game with LSU. Alabama can beat LSU but they need to get hungry again as they were earlier in the season. Perhaps a week off and a drop from 1st to 3rd has restored their "want to". Roll Tide!

Anyways, that's my 6 or 8 cents worth. I welcome your comments. Can anyone stop Tebow???

I LOVE MY TEXAS LONGHORNS. I am a longhorn thru and thru. Hook em Horns.!!!! Number 2 now, but soon to be number ONE!!. Colt McCoy ROCKS!! .I'm glad Texas moved up too. They won't be there for long. My family and I have a friend who is a played for Florida (# 1) so we joke around with each other a lot about football and the BCS rankings. I also like Texas A&M, and TECH. I am a fan of the Georgia Bulldogs because of their coach, Mark Rich is such a special person. He made a cameo in a movie that was put out by a church in ALbany Georgia, called Facing the Giants.

Since my Buckeyes are out of the chase for the big game, I'll pull for Alabama for you Mike! I'd like to see Cincy continue their great season, too.

I admit, though, that a McCoy-Tebow showdown would make a great title game, too (so long as Florida loses -- I am just bitter about them kicking our behinds in the BCS title game a couple years ago).

I like the way you think Nicole. I am all for Florida losing. Although we have a family friend who played for Florida many yrs ago and I am a Longhorn. We have fun together taking jabs at each other.

I am upset that we were kept out of the BCS title game last year because of our loss to Texas Tech. Our only loss last year I am not mistaken.

I don't like the way they choose who goes to the final game. I think they should have playoff games like they do in the Pros.

[NicoleM]

Agreed. A playoff would be a much fairer way to determine the national champ. There are rarely only two clear-cut teams that deserve a shot at the title.

Hello Nicole and Rollll Tide!
The LSU game was a nerve racker! The SEC is the toughest conference........ but they are all tough.

I was also pulling heavily for Georgia Tech who barely survived Wake Forest today.

I wouldn't mind a Texas vs Alabama shootout for the Nats title. If Bama doesn't win the SEC title, I wouldn't mind a re-match with Utah. Alabama & Florida both still have tough conference games to play before they lock up in the Georgia Dome. Strange things could happen. Texas isn't a shoe-in for the title game either. They have Tex A&M and probably Nebraska in their own conference title match. It could even come down to Ga Tech vs "fill in the blank" for the big 1.

Thanks for the posts and letz keep this one alive. College football is almost as much fun as the US Nats.

I agree with everyone that there needs to be a college playoff to decide the National Championship. I'd like to see the top 8 teams battle it out. Heck I'd even settle for the top 4.

I think it will be the SEC Champion playing Texas. That match-up would make for a good game and hard to argue too much the National Champion.

You still have TCU, Boise State and Cinn as unbeatens. I think Cinn will lose either against West VA or Pitt. TCU still plays Utah which will be a tough game.

Someone mentioned GA Tech slipping in to the Big Game. I don't see that happening. They would give it to one of the unbeaten schools over Tech (TCU or Boise State).

I was hoping Navy made it in the top 25 after beating Notre Dame at their place.

[EigthAv]

The biggest drawback to a playoff system is that it would add at least one more game for the two teams who survived it. What I do believe is that the final NCAA top 10 teams should all get BCS bowl games.

My scenario for Ga Tech "going to the dance" would be if Tech wins out and there are losses/upsets amongst most if not all of the top 5. LSU won the 2007 Nats title with 2 losses. In reality, I think it will be 2 unbeaten teams going for it this time.

[breannaw]

Yeah, I can go for that, as long as it is Texas and another team at the final dance. !!

Barring a huge meltdown, Georgia Tech is out of the BCS title match. They can, however, "win out" which would include beating Georgia and taking care of business in the ACC title match. Then a match in their big bowl game with one of these 3 teams......... TCU, Bosie St. or Cinncinati. Go for the highest ranked opponent.

I'm already seeing key bowl game matchups........ Texas vs Alabama in the Big 1. Ga Tech vs Boise in the Orange Bowl. Florida vs TCU in the Sugar Bowl. Okla.St vs Cinncinati in the Fiesta. Rose? Up for grabs. LSU vs Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl.

If you are fans of Boise, TCU and or Cincy, you have to hope Auburn, Fla St and Nebraska spoil it for the Big 12 and the Mighty SEC. Unlikely, but stranger thangs have happened.
