Enter Your BCS Predictions: Win and Spread *With Polls*

[SophalotJack]

Man you guys are making it that much better to be a gator.

Sucks mich fans are crying since all they have is college football and absolutely nothing else... but you guys had your chance.

It's time to suck it up and stop with the whining. You don't get a shot at the #1 spot in the nation when you arleady lost to the team that is #1.


I figure michigan fans would cry for yet another rematch if they lost to OSU in the championship game...


I love being a gator right now, because I get to brag for no reason until the game is played weeks from now. And when we do win, it's going to be all hell on the bragging.


but I guess it's just as fun to cry.

Thats some faulty logic. Florida lost the now #10 team. Not to mention were taken to the brink by 3 unranked teams, and played a crappy non confrence schedule.

I'd really like to know how a Gator fan would feel if they were left out of the championship game today. Michigan had just as much right to be there as Florida.

Haha...he's a Slow Knowledge grad...good thing he's got football...

j/k...not really my Uncle played football and dropped out of Slow Knowledge...

 

[fustercluck]

I have no prob with Florida being in it. I think Florida will get beat pretty bad though, and Michigan would give them a better game on a neutral field. What would be neat is if Michigan played Florida and the winner of that game got to go to the BCS Championship and face OSU. That ain't gonna happen though. It's all good. I'll be happy to watch OSU vs Flordia and Michigan vs USC.

 

[jlbenedict]

Poll added.

 

[BrownTown]

Well, on one hand as a member of an SEC school I can tell you that there would have been a ****** storm if Florida did not get in, but I also have unfortunately watched many of Florida's games and know they are NOT a very good football team, not even the best in the SEC. OSU will blow them to bits, and then we will hear all kinds of fuss about how SEC schools suck, and (assuming Michigan wins their game) about how Michigan really deserved to play. Also, about Notre Dame getting in, thats is just bogus, we all know get special treatment, its no secret, they bring in the big money and so they are included whenever possible. Too bad they cant actually ever win the bowl games they don't deserve to play in.

Still rocks to have won Basketball and have a chance to play in Football.

The BCS was designed to have the two best teams in the nation playing for a title. Given that information, Michigan should be in the Nat'l Championship game. Michigan rolled over everone they played up until Ohio St. and that game was fun to watch. I personally would have loved to see the re-match, it would have been the game of the decade! Now I get to watch Ohio St. beat a half-ass Florida team who barely squeeked by in the SEC championship game. Not to mention LSU easily beat the SEC runner-up. Although Florida beat LSU early in the year, they were up and down this season. Michigan beat ranked teams, and beat them easily. So.... Expect a BCS blowout as Ohio St. kicks the S**T out of Florida 44-10.

Too bad Wolverines the BCS once again failed. Remind you of Auburn much?

:disgust:

I present Exhibit A as to why I hate the f'ing Gators. Worst fans in the SEC by far. I agree that Florida does belong in the National Championship game...but I hope they lose and Urban Meyer slinks back to that hellhole known as Gainesville with his smug, smarmy smile wiped off his face.

USC played 6 teams in the 25 :shocked:

Ohio State by 14+ (I said 28 points in my previous spread and will stick to it).
Michigan by 14+ but iffy about this one USC can either score points or not (so either a close game or a blow out)
LSU by 14+ I have zero respect for Notre Dame (might be as much at 20+ spread)
Louisville by 7
Oklahoma by 7
Wisconsin by 7 Wisconsin's defense will surprise Arkansas (unless Ikegwuonu's suspension hurts UW's D too much--he was by far the best Wisconsin defensive back)

EDITED: I made the poll answers alphabetical--only way to be fair.

Use the polls and post your picks and add a couple of comments as to why.

Lets not make this a flame war--this is for picks so people can brag/eat humble pie latter.

Let me know if I should change the poll answers but I didnt want to make them too long (they might be too long already)

Ohio St. Rolls 44-10
Michigan wins it OT 24-21
Brady Quinn goes off ND 31-28
Oklahoma will destory B. State 41-21

In addition.. they not only played 6 teams in the top 25.. they beat them by a large point margin. I think the UCLA game was a high emotion game on part of UCLA. This was a huge "opportunity" for a letdown by USC. USC had some pressure of winning this game and they let it slip from their grasp. Games like these are huge trap games. The loss was a "fluke". USC would win 9 out of 10 times against UCLA.

But woulda coulda shoulda.. thats why games are played instead of talked about.

 

[jlbenedict]

(Hog fan)

The Arkansas / Wisconsin game should be an interesting game. This game could turn out low scoring and ugly.. kind of like the Cowboys/Giants game this past Sunday.

Wisconsin's record is a little deceiving since they've only played one ranked opponent (lost) while playing lower teired teams in their respective conference in addition to their cupcakes outside their conference.
This also assists with the illusion of their so called "#2 ranked pass defense, #3 overall defense & #3 scoring defense".

Both teams boast a 1500+ yard running back in the backfield. Statistic wise, Wisconsin has the edge on the quarterback position.

 

[tfinch2]

Yay, we get to watch Notre Dame get pounded into oblivion again. :roll:

 

[jlbenedict]

From an ESPN article...

1. Florida beat nine teams that are projected to play in bowl games. Michigan beat six.

2. Michigan beat five teams that finished the season with losing records. Florida beat two teams with sub-.500 records.

3. Florida's 12 Division I-A opponents had a combined record of 89-57. Michigan's 12 opponents had a combined record of 84-61.

4. Michigan's best win is considered a 27-13 victory over Wisconsin on Sept. 23. The Badgers are 11-1 and have climbed to No. 7 in the AP Top 25 poll, despite having played only one ranked opponent -- the Wolverines -- the entire season.

5. The 12 teams Florida defeated finished the season with 11 combined wins against opponents which were ranked in the AP Top 25 poll at the time the game was played. The opponents Michigan defeated claim just three wins against ranked teams (Notre Dame beat Penn State. Indiana beat Iowa. Vanderbilt beat Georgia. The Nittany Lions, Hawkeyes and Bulldogs, it should be noted, haven't been ranked in seven weeks).

6. The Gators went 3-1 against ranked opponents, beating then-No. 13 Tennessee, No. 9 LSU and No. 8 Arkansas and losing at No. 11 Auburn. The Wolverines went 1-1 against ranked opponents, beating a highly overrated No. 2 Notre Dame team (that lost to Michigan and USC by a combined total of 46 points) and losing at No. 1 Ohio State 42-39 on Nov. 18.

7. The Gators' average margin of victory against Division I-A teams was 13.5 points. They won seven games by 14 points or fewer, six by less than 10. The Wolverines' average margin of victory was 17.3 points. They won six games by 14 points or fewer, two by less than 10.

8. The Gators played Western Carolina, a Division I-AA team, and won by 62 points. The Wolverines played Ball State, which should be a I-AA team, and won by eight.

9. Since the Wolverines last played and lost at Ohio State, the Gators won at Florida State (The Seminoles are 6-6, but rivalry games are tough to win. Just ask USC coach Pete Carroll) and then beat the No. 8 Razorbacks, who defeated then-No. 2 Auburn and No. 13 Tennessee by 17 points each.

10. Michigan didn't win the Big Ten; Florida won the SEC. Winning your conference should be a prerequisite for playing in the national championship.

They just talk about Wisconsin being Michigan's best win, then they say they go 1-1 vs top 25.

I guess since Wisconsin wasn't ranked at the time Michigan beat them.
