Stanford beat USC, but lost to UCLA. UCLA lost to ND (who was WINLESS).

So therefore Notre Dame is the second greatest team in the land because they beat UCLA who beat Stanford who beat USC who was ranked second at the time.

You fail at logic. Get a clue.

i forgot to put in the edit.

this was someone in espn comments page posted this.
i don't do the daisy thing, nor do i care about debating sec/big10/pac10 etc : P
i like to watch all football games and pray for a playoff system of some sorts every other day. I just read this earlier today and thought it was kinda funny and would stir ::some:: argument.


---
this was actually the whole post and it basically started more flames on espn : P


See, SEC fans only have one game to rely on all their BS, last years NTG tha's it and they will keep ridding it as long as they can cause if not for that they have nothing. Hey SEC fans this is what the rest of country sees since you guys are so stuck up each others a@@. CAL completely dismantled Tenn, who beat georgia, South Fla who just struggled against Fla alantic beat auburn who beat fla, who almost beat LSU. FSU smacked around bama who took again UoG to overtime. Again someone with SEC intelligence explain to me why you think your conference is so great above all else when the rest of the country is beating up on you??? the only good ooc win you have so far is over va tech who has stuggle against not one but two mac teams. AGAIN where is the superiority?? Big ten is 8-6 against you in bowl games the past few years, 2-1 last year. Hell Iowa beat fla and lsu in bowl games jus a few years ago, now that is commical. AGAIN someone please explain to me?? Funny thing is i enjoy SEC football a lot its just the fans that i can't stand, see fla owned ohio state in one game your conference has not owned anyone and never will. O and btw the ohio stat/michigan was far more entertaining then last nites one good last drive game is all it was, and if fla stops LSU on one of those 4th downs how stupid does LSU look for not tieing up the game. O and just for some of you SEC fans that i'm sure don't no Urban and Less are both from Ohio. Get over youselves no one cares.

That's actually a pretty good analysis. I too think the SEC turns in some pretty good matchups week after week. But I absolutely can't stand the fans. They think they're on some kind of raised dais compared to the rest of the ncaa. They seriously need to get over themselves.

 

[kalster]

sec /pac-10 is pretty close this year
hey this year i can claim the sec argument that anyone can beat anyone , as usc lost to stanford, so yeh pac-10 is just as strong

more than anything i cant stand sec fans, every football thread they come out of nowhere claiming sec dominance, yeh you have a good conference whoopie doo

I'm not saying 1-AA can't be a good team, but there's a reason why it was the first time in history that a 1-AA team had beaten a ranked team. Be real here, their players are generally not up to the skill level of 1-A teams.

1-AA schools are not up to the talent level of the BEST 1-A schools, but they certainly are as good as some or most of the 1-A schools. For example, Youngstown State is better then the worst 1-A opponent Tennessee played (Arkansas State). Sagarin has Youngstown State favored by 4 points on a neutral field. He also has North Dakota State ranked above 16 BCS conference schools (and 2/3rds of all 1-A schools). Colley has the top 6 1-AA schools collectively ranked 27th against 1-A schools.

Auburn beat K-State which absolutely destroyed Texas. That was an OOC game if you're counting. I'm not real high on my Tigers this year (way too much youth) but it seemed like AU turned it over every other time they had the ball and still took the best team in the Big East to OT.

Sweet. Another thread that makes me feel as stupid as when people at work say: "Are you getting in on the football pool?"

We do have quite the team here, but I fail to see the excitement in athletics that are merely observed and not participated in. I have been called many names for this philosophy, but just find it too humorous to retreat from.

Then you really missed out on some special times in your college career.

I went to Columbus State, so I guess I have double shame, but truth be told, I never felt any of it.

I was always excited to see an entire city pull together for one team no matter what, though.

I grew up a Big Ten kid pulling for the Buckeyes (grew up in Ohio)...went south for school and learned to love the Auburn Tigers and SEC football. The "high intellectuals" on this board will look down their nose at you but IMO there's nothing greater than college football.

As a Buckeye myself, I love watching them. But indeed, before I went here, I only watched the games OSU played and often only watched the big games specifically. I still hate pro sports to this day, and cannot watch anything other than college football when it comes to sports.
I'd much rather play baseball than watch any sport, any day. Playing baseball was my love when I was growing up.
I definitely understand the logic of not enjoying the idea of watching sports. Tracking player stats and following a team with so much heart, while commendable in some shape or form, is definitely not for me. I'll pay attention to Buckeyes football, but anything past that, I won't be doing. Ashamedly, I don't even follow Buckeyes basketball. Mostly because I despise of the sport and find it incredibly boring. They seriously need to come up with a sport that combines football and basketball, played on a basketball court. I envision basketball with lots of defensive attacks and shoves and a lot less points on the scoreboard. Much more entertaining. All them baskets being made makes me stare off into my own little world after awhile.

It's called hockey...I think there's even an NHL team here in Columbus.

Well. let's be honest, most of the "intellectuals" here live in a fantasy world that even morphine would have trouble constructing.

It seems we can both agree that big ten football has broken racial and socioeconomic barriers, while being highly entertaining at the same time.

Not to mention that Purdue hasn't played a ranked (or good) team this year either.

Let us know when they play a real team. Like one from the SEC.

When do those SEC teams play real games outside their conferences (besides traditional opponents)? OSU played Texas the past two years, we play USC the next two years, Miami the two years after that. Can't play them when they all want to start off with two I-AA powderpuffs (and yes, OSU did play Youngstown State this year. Scheduling difficulties didn't allow for a real home and away opponent for this year, so we played Tressel's old team for one year at home).

Well, I really only follow Auburn but I know Tennessee just finished a home-home series with Cal. This year Auburn opened with K-State (Big 12) and played South Florida (Big East). 2006 the Tigers opened with Washington State (Pac-10). 2005 opened with Georgia Tech (ACC). 2003 we played USC (Pac-10) and Georgia Tech (ACC). 2002 was USC (Pac-10) and Syracuse (Big East). Next year and the year after Auburn opens with WVU (Big East). The arguement about soft scheduling is over, let it go...especially since one of the Big Ten heavyweights go beat by one of their creampuffs this year.

I grew up in the south and can barely stand on skates, but I think hockey is a great sport.

 

[natto fire]

Yeah, the Blue Jackets are actually a fairly decent team this year. I do enjoy watching hockey, it is a much more fluid game than traditional sports.

And the interesting story of the "Arena District" from which the Blue Jackets emerged is a decent story as well.

Tennessee just did a home and home with Cal, Auburn played Wash St last year, K state and USF this year, and plays West Va next year, bama's got a series with FSU, LSU played Va tech, Arkansas had a series vs. USC...

IIRC we play YSU a total of three games. In our defense, they are going Div 1A... check that... FBS any year now. It's all part of the in state outreach program apparently.

But yea, most years we have marquis matchups. In the coming years: USC, Oklahoma, Miami(FL). Show me another team with that lineup and I'll be equally impressed.

 

[neomits]

Wow, this thread went out of control real fast. The OP was just talking about a decent game going on TV. Not once does he mention Ohio State on the national scene or talk about their program relating to another conference.

People can argue which conference is better for eternity, but all that matters are the games that are played. The end of the season will roll around, the standing SEC vs Big10 bowl games will happen (plus the extra one or two), and then you can use those for any argument you wish.

I too love college football.

Go Bucks.

Yep saw that. I wasn't saying Auburn had soft scheduling. But it doesn't really compare to OSU's recent OOC matchups (except this year ). But you have to play the games you schedule, OSU has just been doing better on the timing, I guess you could say.
