Pre-Season Coaches Poll

[krazybuc]

Oh well thank god we have the BCS to tell us who the best teams are. If you really believe in those standings then you need serious help.

If you dont think that Georgia deserved to be in that game ten times more then Ohio St. then you know jack about football.

[olafberserker]

Oh by all means we should use Krazybuc to determine the two participants in the BCS title game every year.  

[krazybuc]

No I think you should use basic tools of perception and some common sense.

If you really believe in the BCS standings, more power to ya... wish we all had that kind of blind faith.

[olafberserker]

It's the best we have.  Not perfect, either's a playoff.  Definitely better than what we used to have.  Why do the other teams deserve to be there more, because SEC homers think they're the only conference that should matter?  LOL

Georgia didn't even make hte SEC title game.  So they looked like one of the better teams at the end of the season.  Good for tehm.  Guess they shouldn't have blown it at the beginning of the season.  SOmetimes those early season losses come back to bite ya.  Just ask your beloved Seminole fans.

We should have a playoff. The BCS is dumb.

you do have a playoff ... it's called the regular season.

Then why can an Oklahoma team lose its final game of the season and still make the Championship game?

[GameTime]

loading up on youngstown states and akrons makes a pretty easy playoff run.  but at least osu does try to throw in a powerhouse every year.

Because other teams couldn't take advantage because of their losses.

although the team that played middle TN and tulane also played SEVEN teams in the top 20.  the team that played youngstown and akron played ZERO top 20 teams.

and?  they played their conference schedules.  that's all anyone can ask of them.

[GameTime]

yeah, so back to my original point...some conference schedules lead to a very easy "playoff" run.

[olafberserker]

i believe SOS is a part of the formula for the BCS poll.

[GameTime]

yep, and it still almost got hawaii into a championship game.  not sure what you are arguing here though.

[olafberserker]

That OSU got into the game fair and square and SEC homers should stop complaining about. 



I wouldn't say that being 10th in the BCS standings is almost getting into a championship game though.
