1. Rolling... Rolling... Rolling...

:D

[lazarus]

2. I have a faint hope

that the fourth place finish will hush these "BSU is the REAL champion" people up, but I doubt it.

[Syrinx]

3. it won't

Boise. Ain't that where they make raisins? And isn't that blue turf a psychological weapon developed by the Soviets! I heard it on FOX. :)

6. No it won't just shows the bias for over-rated Bama and Texas...

...what a frigging joke.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Most likely Bias is hard to prove

but go ahead, give it a shot.

[lazarus]

13. He can't prove a lot of things he says

He never has shown how the refs handed Bama the Tennessee game.

[Condem]

4. THREE BIG TEN TEAMS?!?!

That deserves its own thread!

[lazarus]

10. I figured

y'all would appreciate having that pointed out. :hi:

[BOSSHOG]

11. Congrats to the Big Ten

and they will be in the thick of the hunt next year. I do believe the Ohio State QB will be back next year?!? And Michigan will bounce back sooner rather then later. Can't keep a good program down. And How bout dem Hawkeyes?

5. Now I'm a big-time Big East supporter, but seriously...

Sin-sin-nasty doesn't even belong in the top 15 with that embarrassing performance they put on in the Sugar Bowl.

[Upton]

7. How is Cincinnati in the top ten

after the humiliation they suffered at the hands of Florida?

[SteelPenguin]

8. It's a gift

I guess they figure that it's hard to judge Cincinnati too harshly since their coach and leader who called every single offensive play their whole season told the team to fuck off a few weeks before the game, both completely demoralizing them and cutting their head off.

I still say they shouldn't have been there though (and top 10 is way too high), and were pushed through by corruption in the Big East via their officiating who wanted to try and sneak into the championship game with a craptastic team who played shitty teams to stay undefeated in their first half of the season, and then protected the rest of the year by the league.

12. Texas and Florida should be flipped

How does losing the natinal championship mean you get to remain right where you already were?
