Kansas State/Bama argument...Kansas State should get a lot of credit for winning at Oklahoma. I don't think beating WVU is much of an accomplishment. WVU has beaten Baylor and Texas (who freaking cares?!?). Bama's win over Michigan isn't great but they dismantled the Wolverines and that win holds as much or more water as KSU's win over WVU. What will we think of Kansas State's win over OU IF they lose to Notre Dame this week? Kansas State's remaining schedule doesn't look very tough at all and they should remain unbeaten. As for Bama...they have destroyed everyone on their schedule and they started the year at #2 or #3. They deserve to be #1 based on how they have performed every week. The schedules in CFB aren't the same as CBB. They are set years in advance and Bama went out of conference and played a top 10 opponent away from home. They deserved to play LSU for the NC last year as well. Why? Because they were a lot better than Oklahoma State. If one can't appreciate what Bama has done week in and week out for the last couple of years than they are stupid or jealous or both (I am not saying you don't appreciate it).

Your arguments against Georgia and Mississippi St are valid and I agree completely. MSU has not tested themsleves out of conference at all and their three SEC wins are garbage to this point. Vegas knows whats up by setting the line at 24. Georgia is easily the most underachieving team in the country. Their performance against UK was garbage!

Florida plays the exact type of ball as Bama with just more creative play calling on offense. South Carolina was nowhere near the physicality our team was, just like most games we have won this year. UGA will be the same story

Got a late start on your read today, I ran the Columbus Marathon today (good grief, that god that thing is over!)  You want to challenge your metal toughness?  Go run 26.2 miles.  Toughest thing I have ever done in my life and I have went through some pretty grueling practices in Track & Football.  

On to your read.  The Big Ten is bad.  Real bad.  Every team has a couple guys on their team that are good playmakers, but the list is small.  The funny thing is;  When I watch teams like LSU, Scarolina, Bama, etc & then I watch a BIG game, the athletes don't even look the same.  If Michigan's defensive line got on a bus with any of the top SEC schools, they would not be the first guys off the bus if you know what I mean.

As for Oregon, I'm starting to come around on them.  I watched that game, & I think they play for the NC.  I don't see anybody stopping that offense.  They are legit.

Speaking of Michigan & Denard.  I know I give the kid a lot of hell b/c he can't throw the ball the greatest, and he was kinda the same way yesterday, but he was clutch when he needed to be.  The one play that defines that kid is the 3rd & 2 at the end of the game when he was lying on 2 State defenders and reached the ball for the first down.  The kid was not going to be denied that first down.  I love his competitiveness.  Looks like that game next week is where a lot of the BIG championship game is going to be defined.

As for Dooley and UT.  Good god, how bad was the offensive play calling in that game?  They had no creative plays & nothing that kept Bama on their heels.  They had the ball 2x inside the 30 and they're only play calling was trying to hit either the seem (which Bray struggles with) or the "go"/fade.  To me, it just didn't seem they had any type of game plan to try and either confuse or at least change the pace of the game.  I'm not saying you have to change up your entire offense, but when you are outmatched, you have to come up with something creative...

btw.  I have to call myself out here (sorry to be "that" guy) but I told you to take a sneak peak at the WKU over 54 : )  I've given you 3 plays this year Boom, and they have all covered (show me some love damn it!!)  J/K brotha.

Good Luck next week.  (Waiting for the OU line buddy!!)
whats up RLP....

You need to do more then come around to Oregon. This team is crazy good..

Hey man... I cant show you the love. This is my thread...  JK buddy.... Yeah nice call.


Whats your score prediction on Oklahoma Notre Dame... Im going 45  to 10

When it comes to talkin resumes, your right... Kstate is probably higher than 4, especially if they  if they win most of their games in what is a very tough schedule. It is clear that the top 4 right now are very interchangable, however I still give Bama the edge, I do think they would be beat Kstate and oregon and florida when it came down to the line.

No need to say anything about the big 10... Weve all been talking about it since earlier this season...it is truly shit this year. As for OSU, you mentioned Meyer is gonna take the program the right way which I completely agree with, but man this team has squeeked out some undeserving wins, and by very low margins. If they play a real football school, they'd probably get pumped, and this is the "highlight" of the big 10....ouch, whoevers in the rosebowl is in for it.

Agree with ND. The reason why they will probably lose next week is that they dont have an offensive glamour. Only thing that scares me is that they can play D, and thats a special x-factor they have that makes them win these ugly games. Im a ND fan in its respect for the game, but in Norman id take the Sooners up to -10 probably. Agree with you on going larger for that game.

Finally, im a defensive minded guy... We all know thats what wins. But a part of me inside would love to see the Ducks win it all. Your right, these guys packed it in at the half, and why wouldnt they. 43 points against a somewhat respectable az st club way before halftime. its incredible, and a part of me wants to see that exciting, incredibly fast offense take the NC, although I dont think itll happen.

Over the next 2-3 weeks were going to see some changes in the BCS, everyones starting to get the idea of whos gonna fade and unfortunately Kstate will have a loss that will put them out, but were going to see oregon/bama/florida left in the running....hell maybe oklahoma if they keep winning theyre really starting to find their form and they look good. BOL keep goin hard!

speaking of Ohio S.T..... you know why I say Urban takes them to the next level? This past week was a perfect example.... there is no way no how sweater vest would have won that game.... No WAY!!!


Kansas S.T is for real


Yeah I know. This BCS thing will start to sort itself out better here in a few weeks...but its always good to stir up what the truth is anyways.

To call West Virginia a big win after what Texas Tech did to them again what ? Are you kidding ? I like Boom but this is just like a Case Keenum moment it will never amount to anything. His write ups are great it gets people talking I'm just stating my opinion


easy now Cbowells.

You keep pointing back to Case Keenum.... I clearly told you it would take a few years before this guy gets a shot...and he will. Then I want you in here to say it. Also, you cant keep using the same line over and over if your not going  to point out the other hundreds of things that were right. But I guess thats how it works.

No... Im not saying Bama isnt the best. But if you think there invincible...there your not paying attention. There are no more  " invincible teams "College football these days..... you should no better

I dont think any of them could lose.... but if I had to take a long shot.... I would say San Diego S.T

You do realize that if UF wins this weekend they have a very legitimate shot to end the regular season 12-0. The best teams on the schedule have already been beaten

Florida has been very good.... But I hate to be that guy Wheels... but I think you guys have NO shot at beating FSU in Tallahassee... FSU at home is tough. FSU is your toughest team on the schedule.

I know you dont believe me right...but mark this post. Florida cant beat FSU at FSU

Im more worried about UGA than FSU. FSU will get eaten alive by our defense, they couldn't move the ball against our defense last year. FSU will be out coached, they are not a sound football team and they will have to force multiple turnovers to beat Florida. We already beat the two toughest teams on our schedule. FSU fans are worried sick about playing UF and they are really on the hater wagon this year because they thought it was their time and were back for real. Which is hilarious they fall for it every year, Fisher has shown NO improvement as a Head coach and will lose two more this year.

Have you watched FSU play? If you think 
UF's offense would get shut out, then how in the fuck would theirs do anything? You realize the defenses the Gators have already faced and beaten?

Boom,

 

I know better then to say that Bamais invinceable but there ar eno holes in this team. Can they make mistakes of course. But there isnt a team that can beat them over 4 quarters. I a convinced I watched are rewatched every game. Saban calls nothing but stretch runs and straight go routes and they just dominate
