They're more of a nuisance now

@#$% pilgrims.

I disagree with Spence. I don't even think an NFL team will take a look at him. He had better start looking for options in the CFL or Arena Football to become an Edmonton Eskimo or a member of the Los Angeles Avengers; I don't think ONE team will be taking a look at him. He obviously hasn't learned...

People are incouraged to do a preview of their team on the preview thread. The more info we have the better chance this experiment will have to succeed. Anyone can preview as many teams as they like.

Still, I like the fact that both computers and human polls are used in the BCS rankings. I just might change the weight given to some of the factors involved in the BCS formula since I probably would favor more weight being given to those computer rankings you mentioned that have stood by their ran...

We are still getting the groups together, but if you want to preview a couple of teams it would be helpful.

You get the feeling that there was going to be a "but" in there somewhere.

Someone will give him a F/A contract. I think he went undrafted to send a message.

I completely agree. 6-6 does not a bowl team make. You can't have 32 bowls, and not expect a few 'also-rans' to qualify themselves. Yes, 32, the Houston Bowl will likely be approved, but they will have to wait a little longer. Coincidentally, 32 bowls equals 64 teams. Call me crazy that would appea...

Welcome aboard. I live near Chillicothe, Ohio. I have been to Colerain many times. I did a job in Cleves, once, and we stayed in Colerain. My wifes sister did her masters in nursing at UC. Yes, the 'cats put a scare into us in 2002. Had it not been for the interception by Will Allen we would have lo...

The computers aren't without bias either. It is just that the bias is preloaded, before the games are played. I am not saying that the bias is intentional in any case. The guys who do the computer polls set up a formula based on what they think is important in determining a teams strength. That is t...

By the way, the Mountaineers did not have a good or pretty good team in 2004. They had a bunch of talent, but the team part simply was not there and that team part is critical if the talent is going to be worth anything.

True, me only works in tennis and golf.

Here's an example of a so-called 'argument' made without any basis in fact, whatsoever. To my knowledge, TCU didn't schedule Texas, yet the presumption is they not only lose, but annhilated, in the process (not that that isn't one possiblity ) That being said, the facts would appear to contradict y...

Spence wrote: That proves my point. Detmer wasn't a great athlete. He had a lot of heart and it played well in CFB. The NFL is the best of the best, Detmer wasn't NFL material. Not NFL material? Now you are being funny. Last time I checked he was still wearing an NFL uniform. Get real. Ty Detmers N...

Spence wrote: You were arguing that TCU isn't big enough to be a power, I simply suggested that Notre Dame wasn't very big either. If you don't like the Notre Dame comparison try on Miami(FLA), they aren't very big either. Yeah, and if memory serves they are both private schools. Try again. What do...

I don't base my argument on one game (Iowa St.). I don't know how 'good' Iowa St. was partly because they lost a game, late in the year, they needed to win. Still, Iowa St. likely wasn't too bad, within conference. A three game 'skid', middle of the year, to teams they were likely better than, is a...
