BroChaos Veteran Posted November 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2004 I vote Auburn. IF they can get by the SEC Championship game. :D 584869699[/snapback] i agree. auburn is #1 right, BUT, they do also have the hardest remaining schedule. there is a good chance they could slip. but if they don't, their SOS could move them past OU...

Chad Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 @deceased_which_appreciatesi agree. and thats why there shouldn't be a preseason poll. those polls are based on nothing but opinion, but when the season actually starts, they get teams "stuck" in certain positions. just because USC shared the NC last year does not mean they are the #1 team this year. players graduate, things change, etc. 584847020[/snapback] Yup. And in the VERY weak Pac 10, it's almost a given that they'll win-out the season. USC earned it last year. But this year, they have played like crap against lesser teams. IMO, OU and Auburn are tops right now. Wisc could be up there, but I don't think they can win out the season. ESPECIALLY playing the last game of the season AT Iowa, where the Hawks haven't lost in 2+ years.

BroChaos Veteran Posted November 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2004 lol, i just noticed 4 people voted for michigan...i'm the biggest michigan freak here, but they shouldn't be #1 ;) i'm still hoping, somehow, someway, USC will lose one. and OU. how ****ed would a lot of people be if it was a wisky/auburn championship.... since wisky doesn't play mich, i don't mind wisky winning out, cuz i like when the big10 is represented well, but i don't know if they will make it past minny, iowa, and northwestern i think.

Chad Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 minny, at Mich St, At Iowa. I think they beat northwestern already. Couple guys take on a similar topic http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?page=argument/1104 On a funny note, check out the Top 10 link near the top of that story. It's as simple as this: the Trojans are playing better than anyone else right now. Has this guy watched ANY football this year?

BroChaos Veteran Posted November 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2004 interesting topics this week. i agree about jason campbell, much better than last year. i don't think there will be five undefeateds. they look at the good teams vs. the crappy teams, and say there's no way they'll lose, but then look at florida st and miami. no matter how impossible it seems on paper, it WILL happen, it always does. honestly, i think the bcs rankings make more sense than the human polls, but because the bcs is affected so much by the human polls, and the human polls are SO wrong, it also makes the BCS poll look bad. make a good computer system and stick with it. that way there will be no east coast/west coast bias. computers can view all sorts of data, while most people who vote only see a few of the dozens of games played every weekend. does it make any sense to have georgia above tenn in either poll? do any of the voters have the guts to look past how last season ended, and vote purely on this year? the answer to those questions is no.

BroChaos Veteran Posted November 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2004 yeah, hopefully the voters will step up, and move OU down. back to back weeks of getting lucky. not impressive at all. and wisky needs to jump cal in the BCS too. if that duck TE catches the ball, the ducks have at most a 35yd game winning field goal.

L3thal Veteran Posted November 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2004 OU will not move down, the BCS will not allow it. The only way a team can move up on the standings, is if the teams ranked higher lose. If OU wins the rest of their games by 3 points, they still will remain #2. #3 Auburn vs. #5 Georgia Next Saturday night :shifty: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/238163-ncaa-best-team-in-the-nation/page/2/#findComment-584881593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted November 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2004 I agree that we need a playoff system with the top 8 BCS teams facing off in a playoff. The format could be as follows: #1 vs. #8 #4 vs. #5 #3 vs. #6 #2 vs. #7 In that format, the team ranked higher gets to play at home and the championship game will be in whatever field the NCAA designated at the start. I just don't see how they don't have the brains to make something like that :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/238163-ncaa-best-team-in-the-nation/page/2/#findComment-584881620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 i agree with the playoff system, but i think it should be more like basketball.. 16 teams, the 11 major conference champs all get a bid, and the 5 remaining bids are at-large Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/238163-ncaa-best-team-in-the-nation/page/2/#findComment-584882213 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatik Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 God, I hope Auburn wins. I'm so sick of hearing ESPN and CBS think he's the greatest QB in all of the land. I'll be at the ND-USC game on the 27th...Go Irish!! By the way, USC has had to squeak some games out, too, this year. If anyone should be #1 it's Auburn.

Smitjel Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 History doesn't look good for Auburn. Here's the outcome of the games since 1992. The visiting team has won it 9 times! Also, David Greene has a 14-1 road record (eventhough they don't count the UF games for some reason). AU vs UGA since 1992 1992 UGA wins at AU 1993 AU wins at UGA 1994 Tie 1995 AU wins at UGA 1996 UGA wins at AU 1997 AU wins at UGA 1998 UGA wins at AU 1999 AU wins at UGA 2000 AU wins at AU 2001 AU wins at UGA 2002 UGA wins at AU 2003 UGA wins at UGA WAR DAMN EAGLE!!

BroChaos Veteran Posted November 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 14, 2004 do you guys believe me now? i've been preaching this for weeks. lets recap: usc stuggles with VT, stanford, cal, oregon st. OK struggles with A&M, OSU, kansas st., texas was pretty close, etc. auburn's only close game came against a then top ranked LSU team. and this is coming from someone who hates the SEC... but there's at least one less unbeaten. that michigan st. team can be very tough, especially with stanton as qb. they aren't even close to being the same team that lost to rutgers first game of the year. my top 3 are still Auburn, USC, OK.
