College Football 2010: So it begins

[Guynemer]

Incidentally, under the Revised Guynemer Playoff Plan, we'd have the following playoffs: (only conference champs with a maximum of one loss...)

Auburn vs. winner of Wisconsin/Nevada (or Boise State, however the WAC determines their champ when they have three teams with 7-1 conference records)
Oregon vs. TCU

And that's it. Nice and tidy.


Other popular proposals:

Standard NCAA (conference champs + 5 at-large to make it a round number, based on last week's BCS standings): 1. Auburn (SEC) vs. 16. Florida International (Sun Belt); 2. Oregon (Pac-10) vs. 15. Miami (OH) (MAC); 3. TCU (MWC) vs. 14. UCF (C-USA); 4. Stanford (at-large) vs. 13. Connecticut (Big East); 5. Wisconsin (Big Ten) vs. 12. Nevada/Boise State (WAC); 6. Ohio State (at-large) vs. 11. LSU (at-large); 7. Arkansas (at-large) vs. 10. Virginia Tech (ACC); 8. Michigan State (at-large) vs. 9. Oklahoma (Big 12)

Conservative NCAA (conference champs + 1 at-large to give top 4 teams a bye): reseed the above with Stanford being the only at-large

Top 4 BCS: Auburn vs. Stanford; Oregon vs. TCU

Top 8 BCS: Auburn vs. MSU (or possibly Oklahoma when final BCS released); Oregon vs. Arkansas; TCU vs. Ohio State; Stanford vs. Wisconsin

BCS Conference + 2 at-large: Auburn vs. Connecticut; Oregon vs. Virginia Tech; TCU vs. Oklahoma; Stanford vs. Wisconsin

By your setup, why would TCU be left out of it? There needs to be a playoff series and do away with non-conference games. It's just that simple.

[Imran Siddiqui]

My final rankings don't change (no real big upsets)

1. Oregon
2. Auburn
3. Texas Christian
4. Ohio State
5. Wisconsin
6. Stanford
7. Michigan State
8. Boise State
9. Arkansas
10. Oklahoma

I'm not going to say "reading is fundamental," I'm only going to say maybe you should read my post again.

OK, I see now.

[Guynemer]

Outside of Ore-Aub, OSU-Ark, and Wisky-TCU, none of the bowls are really jumping out as must-see TV. Maybe MSU-Bama, maybe? We've even got a "Jesus, this **** again?" rematch between Nebraska and Washington. If this is the best the bowl system can offer, **** the bowl system.



Note: And calling OSU-Ark "must-see TV" is being awful generous.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I don't know why you wouldn't want to see OSU-ARK aside from a hatred of OSU. Seems like two exciting teams facing off. I addition, I'd like to see Stanford v. Virginia Tech. Florida v. Penn State may be interesting as well.

Read it here first sportsfans, Auburn routs Oregon by 30 points.

[Guynemer]

Wager?

90 to 60?

[SlowwHand]

Oregon has a good defense, from the little that I saw them. I think Auburn will win, but not by 30. Get in the Bowl Pick 'Em.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Wager?

I want to get in on that one too (against Spencer's prediction).

[gjramsey]

Come on people, Bowl Pickem, Sign up NOW!!!!! We have 5 signed up, but many in this thread are not there.


I plan on being in NO for some Sugar Bowl action.

[SpencerH]

Where is this magical bowl pickum? I'm predicting victories for every bowl-bound SEC team (which is pretty much the whole conference). As I said before a 30 point Auburn blowout 44-14, and a similar score for BAMA against MSU since it'll be virtually the first game where they wont be playing a team coming off a bye week while they just played another top 25 team. They'll be rested and ready for bear!

As for wagers, that depends on the bet and odds. It's unreasonable if I lose if Auburn only wins by 20 for example.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well you were the one to boast about a 30 point win .
