WVU has little to zero chance of playing for a title in my lifetime.
So if they go undefeated, let's bet $10 paypal champ.

So in effect, you're just betting on the Louisville game. Look at WVU's schedule, for goodness sakes.

Auburn barely won their game today, they will be lucky to pull ahead. Once WVU dismantles Louisville they will blow past [insert overrated one loss team here] into the #3 spot.

If WVU put Nebraska, Arkansas, Oregon, Cal, and Notre Dame on their schedule, maybe they'd have a loss or two as well.

I think WVU's weak schedule is entirely in my favor. When they get locked out of the BCS I'm going to smile, because the same thing happened to Auburn and everyone thought it was fair.

In other news, Rice (Rutgers) or Slaton to challenge Troy Smith for the Heisman?

BCS rankings don't matter how much you win your game by.

Sure, 10 dollars it is. Let's take the undefeated qualifer away though. This is a bet that they play in the title game period.

Looks like you already bet with the qualifier on there, based on KLin's quick quoting :)

The problem with that is that if WVU loses one game he's off the hook, so it is a win-win for him. I was going off his original idea to bet based on WVU playing for the title.

If you feel "I need to be held" to what he added then so be it, but it wasn't what he orginally said. I don't really give a fvck, because anyone that follows the BCS knows that many things have to occur for a team to get into the game.

That's a silly bet. If WVU loses to Louisville (or Rutgers for that matter), then neither pay and sp33d's only penalty is that he goes to bed that night, crying into his pillow...

That's what I was trying to say, but Spider Boy thinks that 20 seconds between an edit is some type of legal agreement. I don't care either way. sp33d is scared otherwise he'd bet solely on WVU playing for the title. He knows they are going to have a loss, so that's why he added his little qualifier.

It doesn't really matter, the real "championship" game could very well be the OSU vs. UM game, I simply don't see anyone else who is up to snuff.

I bet Cal rolls over on them. :laugh:


Nah Cal has offense issues too (look at the past 2 games). We're not the 2004 team under Aaron Rodgers anymore, so there's no way we can pull some steamroller out. I say it'll still be close. Maybe like the OSU game here.

Say what you want about what I originally said, but you know what I meant. WVU, if undefeated, will play in the National Championship and you said they wouldn't. Thanks for taking the friendly bet, we'll see what happens.

Nice excuse, Nebraska stunk it up today getting smashed by an unranked team and USC beat Arkansas on the first game of the season when they were a different team. WVU would have won both of those games too. And don't be surprised if Cal has THREE losses by the end of the season. *wink*

PS: I'm more worried about Rutgers than Louisville, for the record.

If they could, why didnt they play a tough nonconference schedule.

Honestly, If OSU-Michigan is settled by less than 3 points IMHO they should play again for the title, because clearly they are the best two teams, no matter if one gets a loss from the other.

Too bad you aren't classy enough to agree to what the bet actually was. Fine. If you are scared that you might lose then I will take the bet in the modified form. It isn't the first time that someone got scared and tried to welsh on a bet. You know exactly what I said -- that WVU won't play for a title this year. Now you are trying to make it about betting if they go undefeated or not. Fine. I've got enough class to agree to that even though I immediately edited once I read what you added from your first post.

Can't wait until I collect my money! :)

and you said they wouldn't.

Fvcking liar. I said they wouldn't play for a title in my lifetime. They won't either. The IQ in Morgantown drops with each subsequent victory, and I'm beyond shocked that the entire campus hasn't burnt down yet. Where else do a bunch of rednecks burn furniture on the front porch of a house when their team wins?

Not gonna happen, I don?t think people would want to see a do-over, and so the only way it might even have a realistic chance of happening is if we get several of our one loss teams to get more losses as well as the undefeated teams their first or multiple losses. I think the best case scenario for the loser of the OSU vs. Michigan game would be to end up ranked #2 overall (after winning the rose bowl), or perhaps even another bullsh!t ?shared? title should a one-loss team make it into the championship and pull off an upset.

Bet's done, stop whining like Alex Rodriguez.

If WVU beat Louisville, then Rutgers beats Louisville and remains undefeated, and then undefeated WVU and Rutgers play then WVU's SoS will go through the roof when they win. Then no analyst will disagree that WVU should play OSU for the national title but we'll see how it plays out, Pitt could also play spoiler to WVU or Louisville as well (doubt it though).

BTW, we burn couches after LOSSES as well as wins. Either way, it's gonna be a party on Grant Ave and Sunnyside. #3 party school in the nation sucka.

To add to that...OSU and Michigan really haven't had a tough schedule up to this point (especially the later) so honestly, whoever loses should be out. If WVU runs the table they're in, if not and Louisville runs it they're in. There's no way Rutgers is getting in even if they win out, they're schedule isn't strong enough. A one loss team would sneak in at that point. Either way Louisville and WVU need to lose and Florida needs to win out. Go Gators!

Um, Rutgers' upcoming schedule has both WVU and Louisville; if you think either of those teams can get into the championship game with an unbeaten record, how is Rutgers not getting in if they win out (beating both WVU and Louisville to do so)?

I can understand writing them off as to being next to impossible to actually surviving those 2 games and all their remaining games, but next to impossible still means possible...

I'm actually hoping they all end up giving each other a loss (and hopefully some other teams such as Pitt get in on some loss-giving), I'd really rather not see a boring championship. If things don't go the way I want them to hopefully I'm wrong and the bigeast rep can actually put up a fight.

I didn't.

In fact I am still pissed about that. USC vs Auburn would have been a way better game. Everyone knew that Oklahoma's defense was subpar while Auburn was absolutely stacked that year. Not to mention Brown/Williams and Campbell.

Three losses my foot. fUCLA is going to lose so bad next week and even if Cal loses to USC that's 2 losses. We're not losing to StanFUrd anytime soon.

Yep. I would love to see WVU vs Michigan for the National Title, #1 run vs #1 run D. But let's not count any chickens before they're hatched, still a lot of Big East football to be played.

Just out today and not much of a surprise, WVU moves up to #3 because of USC loss:

Yeah, it'll never be perfect...not when each team can only play. However, WVU has to do its part to plug itself into the matrix.

WVU's nonconference schedule includes two Conference USA team, one Big Sky team, the sixth-best (by AP rank) ACC team, and a winless SEC team
