I actually have always liked OU and their fans. If CU were swallowed by the earth or, actually, taken by God to heaven because he missed us, I would probably even think about letting my son consider matriculating there!Now that the Ducks have been beaten this opens the way to a rematch between OU and LSU, because there is no way that KU will get past Mizzou or Oklahoma. :thumbsup:
Wow, Tennessee is leading the SEC East?

C'mon now, I am even pulling for the Buffs to make it to a bowl game. :thumbsup:I've never had anything against them either, but then Sooner_Fan shows up and makes me rethink that attitude.
Yeah, pretty unbelievable huh? It helps that everyone except Georgia and Tennessee have lost at least three conference games.
Georgia is playing like one of the best teams in the country right now. I don't think any top team would want to face them right now.
Kentucky gets Georgia this weekend and Tennessee next. They could really **** things up in the SEC with a couple wins.
It really isn't too hard to see a 2 loss team playing in the BCS title game - just imagine this scenario:
11/17 -
West Virginia loses to Cincinnati
Ohio State loses to Michigan
11/22-
Arizona State loses to USC
11/23 -
Hawaii loses to Boise St
11/24 -
Kansas loses to Mizzou
OU loses rivalry game to Okie Light
Conference title games -
LSU loses to Tennessee
Mizzou loses to 2 loss OU team
After all that, there are no undefeated teams left. Kansas, Hawaii and Boise are the only one loss teams (at least that I can think of). #9 Georgia would be the highest ranked team in this week's BCS poll that wouldn't have a loss after that poll came out, would they step over the bodies and make the BCS title game without making the SEC title game? And could they end up playing a one loss Kansas team that didn't even win the Big XII north? (At least they probably wouldn't be coming off a humiliating loss as well, unlike a certain fraud of a team that made the NC game without even winning The Big XII north a few years ago...) USC would have a win over a highly ranked ASU team late. Could they end up back on top of the heap? LSU, OU, Mizzou, Oregon (assuming they don't lose again if Dixon is out), Ohio State, West Virginia, ASU, Georgia, Va Tech, USC, Texass, Virginia, Clemson, BC, Cincy could all finish with 2 losses. It could be the BCS meltdown of all BCS meltdowns, and it really doesn't require any upsets that are all that far-fetched...

I've been a little distracted with other things this season so I've not been paying attention to the SEC like I should be. I truly can't stand the guy, but Fulmer's teams usually do well in conference play.
And I agree with your Georgia assessment. I like Richt, and think it'd be good for Georgia to make some serious national noise again. I'm sick of Oklahoma/OSU/Florida/USC/LSU getting all the damn attention.
C'mon now, I am even pulling for the Buffs to make it to a bowl game. :thumbsup:
I'm going to get this started early:
PLAYOFF. NOW!!!
With the Quack out of the way, the Big XII probably now has 3 teams that control their own destiny to make the MNC game. KU will probably go to #2, assuming they don't screw the pooch against ISU. If they win out, they should be in. If Mizzou beats KU, then OU, that should move them to #2. If OU beats either of them in the conference title game, they are probably in.
Right now, Okie Light probably has the best chance to keep the conference out of the MNC game, if they beat OU and the Sooners go on to beat KU or Mizzou... :huh:
Unless the pigoen hole has the same diameter of the Hindenburg.
Seriously, this is huge for KU, the table is set, they just need to finish it off.
BTW, the spread option is fun to watch with a guy like Tuitama, Dixon or White running it. IMO it is the wave of the future in CFB. The WCO is dead.

No pun intended. :lol:
Teams with two losses don't get to play for the mNC.
Georgia would probably be #1, VT #2, USC #3, UF#4, UT#5. All those guys have two losses now and by then. You'd think that KU, only losing to MU, would still be in there somewhere at one loss along with one loss Hawaii.
So you are saying that in some cases a team with two losses could get to play for the mNC?? :smile2:
Then MU beating OU and Uga beating LSU would move KU back into mNC game with one loss probably playing LSU or UGA.
And LSU or UGA at that point would have two losses. So you are saying a two loss team could play for the mNC. :smile2:
Teams with two losses don't get to play for the mNC. If KU and OU both lost two games then we have a true Cluster **** for the conference. Even an LSU loss would make a mess. The pollsters will jump tOSU and or WVa over a team with two losses.
Ku, Ou, Mu are 3, 4, and 5 respectively. 3 and 5 have to play and the winner plays 4. Unless the pokes get 'em, in which case they'd still play number 4 except they wouldn't be number 4 anymore.
What if K-State beats Mizzou, Mizzou beats Kansas, then Kansas beats OU?
