[quote]Please explain how USC benefitted from this? Reggie and his parents took money, how does that improve SC on the field? Yes he cheated and SC should have stopped it but to say they benefitted is laughable[/quote] Even ignoring all the possible implications and stuff that cannot be proven, h...

[quote]So, NO teams would ever have any incentive to play tough OOC games.[/quote] Strength of schedule is listed as a tiebreaker. That, and playing tough OOC opponents gives teams a chance to knock someone out of contention and take their place. The incentive to play tough OOC games would be abo...

^I hope that is not for me because I was not being sarcastic. It's better to at least participate in a BCS bowl than to win some bowl that no one cares about. At that point you're left with imagining that your team could have won if it had played in a BCS bowl and resorting to the 'we always play to...

[quote]I think that average final ranking should be a metric, as it combines both consistency and titles.[/quote] This is the best single criterion, in my opinion, for the reasons you mention. If you made a composite of the final Coaches' Poll from every season from 2004-2008, the list would b...

lol I was wondering if you were just trying to frustrate me. I do wish there were a rule against non-conference champions playing for the national championship. Some people disagree though....

[quote]Besides OSU and Penn State and Mich, How many teams have even been to a BCS game?? ILL??? [/quote] Besides Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan, 4 Big Ten teams have been to a BCS game (Wisconsin (twice), Purdue, Illinois (twice), Iowa). But to address the original question, there has ...

Edit: @Ross That is definitely the kind of reasoning that people use to support the idea that Ohio State was not as good as they were generally believed to be before the title game. But I think it is because of the lopsided result of that title game that people have revised their perception of th...

[quote]I was afraid my statement might be misconstrued as such. It was more of an assessment than an assumption. Just looking back over the decade I could find no year where I thought the Big XII was better than the SEC. But I definitely don't assume it will be that way every year. [/quote] Not e...

[quote]Sometimes I feel like people on this site only see about 2-3 teams as worthy opponents. From this thread: USC plays no one tOSU plays no one UT/OU play no one Big East/ACC have no good teams So basically there are 4 good teams out side of the SEC, but since they are the only decent t...
