Do you think it would work for the SEC or B-12? Best thing is it would eliminate rematches, and insure everybody in your conference plays everyone else. (I REALLY miss playing Oklahoma every year ) http://www.azcentral.com/sports/colleges/a...lweekly-CR.html --------------------------------------------- Quote: Todd Kelly azcentral.com Sept. 21, 2006 01:29 PM With the non-conference games all but over for the teams in the Pac-10, it's time to get down to some head-to-head competition. This is a significant season the league for this reason: the round robin schedule. Every team in the Pac-10 plays every other team, for the first time, an offshoot of the new 12-game schedule. In fact, of the six BCS conferences, only two play every other conference foe: the Pac-10 and the Big East. So while Oklahoma doesn't play Nebraska in the Big XII this season, and Tennessee doesn't play Auburn in the SEC, ASU can't skip Cal, like it did last year, and everybody gets a shot at USC. Unlike the Big Ten, a league that actually has 11 teams, with each team skipping three (three!) conference rivals, the Pac-10 has, by far, the best way to secure an honest conference champion. And don't tell me about those conferece championships employed by the Big XII and the SEC. Those usually result in rematches anyway. So let the feeding frenzy begin. Conceivably, the round robin schedule will make it more difficult for a Pac-10 team to go undefeated, but I guess we'll find out. _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

I don't know what Boise's reputation is, but they're a member of the Pac-10 in wrestling, so maybe the conference would add them for all sports. _________________ blue wrote: RFUCK YOU FUXCK YOU FUXCK YOU!!@ IOUWA!!!!

Texas went 10-1 every year and went to a major bowl, their only loss being to OU. OU has a down year, Texas goes undefeated. _________________ Numbers wrote: Syn, you are an unbelievable human being.

Unless Callahan decides to call another "Vanilla Offense" like he did against USC so the point spread will be greater in the B12 Championship game.

The Big 12 North is just miserable. This conference was billed as one that was supposed to be on the level of a Big 10 or an SEC, but it is not- plain and simple. Sure you have 3 different teams winning NCs, but thats only because there isn't parity year to year. When you see the Big 12, they usually have one or two really good teams (recently its been Texas and Oklahoma) and then one other team that's overranked but decent. Then they have another team that is ranked but would get their asses handed to them by a traditionally stronger program- imagine a #18 Texas Tech playing a #19 Michigan or #16 Florida. I'm sure someone will now go and try to find bowl matchups to disprove this, but its obvious when the same teams keep dominating their conference year after year going undefeated or with one loss that there can't be enough parity to call it a strong conference. _________________ "It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack.

The SEC has seen LSU, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, and Tennessee all become dominant football teams year in and year out. Then throw in the occasional Alabama or Arkansas and almost every year this conference is up for grabs. _________________ "It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality."

I think I see your points, but just because there's parity in your conference, does that make your conference better than the others? I'd imagine the MAC has the best parity across the board. There's much more parity in almost all conferences. (Even divisions, aparently). How else do you explain Colorado being winless including loosing to a div.11 Montanna State, and then two weeks later, outplaying one of the SEC's better teams for 3 3/4 of the game? (I didn't even know Montanna had colleges) I wouldn't put it past them (CU) to beat Nebraska at the end of the season. I also wouldn't be surprised if Texas looses to aTm at the end of the season. There's so much luck involved in these games, the best team doesn't nessecarily always win. (Why a playoff system would be almost pointless). Not to rehash ancient history, but the '95 season, If I remember right, you guys finnished 2nd (correct me if I'm wrong) even though all of our conference games were much closer in score than our Fiesta Bowl game. Does that mean, the Gators should've been ranked lower than our Conference opponents? No.. Because you guys had a better overall year than any of the other teams we played..And more likely than not, would beat most of them in a head to head battle. We played one of our best games of the season that night, and you guys probably played one of your worst. Last season, everybody was saying that USC had the best team in history. They were then beaten by the Shorthorns (thank gawd)... Why then, wasn't Texas considered the best team of all time? _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

We have many bowl eligbile teams and SEVERAL in the top 10 and NC contenders at any given time. The big 12 has ONE good, NC-contender team a YEAR; in the past it's been OK or Nebraska, lately it's been Texas. The 3rd or 4th team in the B12 would get CRUSHED by the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC or the Big 10 for that matter. The depth of a conference makes a HUGE difference....playing a tougher schedule adds lots of wear and tear to your players. Playing substandard teams when you're good (for example Texas) allows the great players to rest. Vince young plays in the SEC last year, chances are he gets hurt. Does Texas beat USC without him?

I don't agree..Unless there's a coaching change, teams at this level don't drop off that drastically or that fast...They just reload, and recruit to better themselves against conference foes...Maybe why we both feel conference teams are much tougher than OOC teams. ((Conference teams are concentrating their recruiting to compete against your ((In conference teams') weaknesses)). We didn't win many MNC's until Osborn started to also recruit to compete against the Canes. Our Conference Champ was tied in to the Orange Bowl and would more often than not, have to play the home team (Miami, or FSU). the trick was to ballance that off with making sure you got there. Like you guys, we don't find out which of the 3 or 5 teams will have a legitimate run at the MNC until they beat each other off... er up.

No way. How are we supposed to "Run up tha Score" if our starters don't play the whole game? I still vaguely remember from my playing days getting worn down no matter who we played..Probably the toughest player I had to face was Jay Novacek (future all pro) ..But I got hurt much worse two weeks later against somebody I don't remember returning a kickoff. Guy's will go for your knees no matter how good their team is. This year, we've lost 3 players for the season...2 of them got hurt playing against some High School from Louisianna. (Tech or State). Even USC after our miserable game (lost by our HBC) their players, said they hadn't played against a bigger/faster/tougher defensive line EVER(TROY said the same a week later after getting close to FSU)...If USC played against that level of Competition on a weekly basis and with their depth, they'd be pretty good by the end of the year...Troy on the other hand...Probably won't ever have that kind of depth...I like their schedule though..I hope they can keep their program improving. -------------------------- _________________ "Now this end is called the thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35bZ75QlRX8 Don't watch the last 20 seconds...

ttheKid1*18 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The NFL has had a crazy start. The Pats looked like sh!t last week in the Broncos game, and then killed the Bengals today. It's going to be a wild season. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yeah I agree they looked horrible last week, but my wife is a Bears fan so I have to say how about da bears!!!!! 4-0!!!!! Grossman looks outstanding............... Quote Link to comment
808Husker in KCMO Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 How about those Rams!!!! 3-1 Man, how did they lose to the 9ers though. Looks like we could win the division given how Seattle played today though. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yeah I know the 49ers loss really didn't make me too happy!!!! However; we do have a new coach with a new offense and one hell of a running back!!! Seattle got their a$$e$ handed to 'em so I think we got a shot at the Division......... Quote Link to comment
