mattmatik Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Why are you so sure Utah would get smashed? Utah has the second best offense and their defense isn't far behind. I hate when people claim that a mid-major school will get romped on because they're mid-major for no reason. The fact is, if Auburn wants to be a co-national champ, then Utah has to be one as well. There's no way around it. 585234101[/snapback] I'm not one of those people who think mid-majors are simply a waste of time. I live in Fresno so I've seen first-hand the type of talent that does come through the WAC and Mountain West. I've supported Boise State all year because I saw them dismantle a very good Fresno State team (which has beat some quality major conference teams over the past few years). I still think Boise State is better than the showing they had against Louisville, they played horribly for the first 1 1/2 quarters and still only lost by a handful. But, I still contend that USC would destroy Utah both mentally and physically. Pitt's defense is nowhere close to SC's and look what SC did to an almost Heisman repeat player and the freshman player of the year. And I think Auburn has much, much better linebackers and DBs than Utah. It takes alot more than just the final record of a team to say they would do this or do that. Really, Utah needed to play Auburn, USC, or OU so college football fans could see for themselves whether they belong on the same field or not. 3 undefeated teams is a joke.

BroChaos Veteran Posted January 5, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 5, 2005 the +1 would make it a little better. and it's the only thing that the university presidents might consisder. think about it, the last time there were 3 undefeated teams was like 30 something years ago. it really doesn't happen that often. with the +1, if you could match up 4 undefeateds, and then have the 2 winners play. that would cover 99% of the scenarios.

blowMeNeo Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 55-19!! Need I say more. Top 6 teams in a playoff is the only way to resolve this. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/266746-ncaabcs-no-playoffs/page/2/#findComment-585237295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted January 5, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well, the polls came out and looks like OU has been moved to 3rd and Utah moved up to 4th on the AP Poll :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/266746-ncaabcs-no-playoffs/page/2/#findComment-585238228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 i dont see how you can rate oklahoma above utah. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/266746-ncaabcs-no-playoffs/page/2/#findComment-585239448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted January 6, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2005 I agree with you Catnip. For me, it's USC, Auburn, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisville in Top 6.

BroChaos Veteran Posted January 6, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2005 oklahoma shouldn't be a top 5 team next year. they lose everybody but peterson. next years top ten: 1. usc 2. michigan 3. texas 4. ohio state (whoever wins between texas/osu early next year has a good shot at going to the rose bowl) 5. louisville 6. iowa 7. utah 8. lsu 9. tennessee 10. vatech oklahoma and auburn lose nearly every starter. auburn loses campbell, caddy, brown, and rogers. thats their entire team right there. they'll be lucky to finish top 25 next year...

Hupp Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 peterson is enough to win and bob stoops recruiting will have them back. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/266746-ncaabcs-no-playoffs/page/2/#findComment-585244227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted January 6, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2005 haha, please. peterson wasn't enough to even scare USC. the only reason peterson was as good as he was was because of his o-line and the fact that he had a heisman qb with some good receivers to spread the field. I will guarantee you right now peterson will be lucky to get half the stats he had this year. he's losing pretty much his entire line, top receivers, and his qb.

BroChaos Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 it's not that far fetched, and i'm not the only one saying it ;). we return something like 14 starters, and our receiving corps is probably the deepest in the nation, so replacing edwards is not a problem. the only thing that worries me is our D, but carr promised to make changes in the offseason. but you really could but ohio st., texas, and mich anywhere in the top 5.

L3thal Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Author Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'm not saying Michigan isn't a top preseason pick, but #2? That is too far up. I would rank them around 5th place.
