What's with all the Houston hating here? They can't help it they play in CUSA....they have to play whoever is on their schedule. I guess if they had lost a couple of games no one would be ragging on them. They go undefeated (so far) and all anyone talks about is how overrated they are, they haven't played anybody, were losing to La Tech, blah blah blah. Say what you want but they've done everything they can possibly do the elevate their BCS status this year. It's a great story....a program that was in a shambles just a few years ago. Besides, it's college football....where you can expect the unexpected. Anything can happen in one game (remember Utah-Alabama?).
Now I'm not saying they are the best team in the nation by any means but shouldn't we all have an opportunity to find out on the field of play instead of having armchair experts on a porn forum unilaterally declare that they are hereby deemed to be unworthy simply because they say so? :dunno:
I'm not saying at all that they are not a capable team. My whole thing is I ranked teams based on merit. Not what they can do, or what they would do, but what they have done. I look at their schedule and there is nothing at all on there. Just compare them with Tulsa. Both are 7-0 in the C-USA but Tulsa has 3 losses overall. Why? Because they actually went out and played good teams out of conference. If Tulsa beats Houston this weekend, I will have them in my top 25, without a doubt. This will be the 4th tough opponent they've played all season. In comparison, this is Houston's first true test.
One last zinger before I leave for the holiday. Don't be surprised if Tulsa beats Houston on Saturday. They are actually tied for first in the western division with the Coogs and the winner moves on to play in the conference championship. :eek:
OK....Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
Agreed. I actually have Tulsa winning. They played Oklahoma State very well earlier this season in that game that got delayed til like midnight. And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
if it ended today..who do you think should play lsu???please dont say houston lmao.. that would be a 2 qtr game lsu would most likely have them about 40-0 at the half..bama is the only team thats proved they can play on the same field as lsu...So far..lsu has still got to beat 2 of the hottest teams in the sec..if they do that and bama beats auburn..i dont see any other way to make it right........one more thing...lsu proved to me they couldnt score a td against that defense in 4qtrs....they run up and down the field on the other teams ..same with bama....if i got my way they would take the sissy goal down and play 6 qtrs..damn a bunch of field goals
That's a good question. I would say Oklahoma State, as they are the highest ranked non-SEC team in my rankings. If they beat Oklahoma, which I don't see happening, and go on to win the conference, that only strenghthens their case. But if you're strictly asking me who is my number 2 team, it is Alabama without a doubt. I'm really disappointed with UO and OU. They should be in the argument, but blew it. Anyone picking UH is a moron.
im telling you guys..this is not on paper yet...bama hasnt beat auburn yet...and lsu has got 2 more tough games ...and even if it is a rematch...dont look for the same finish
Totally agree. Can you imagine if Arkansas beats LSU? It'll come down to the BCS rankings. Pretty much it would come down to whoever won the matchup between the 2 highest ranked teams, as they will be ranked within 5 of each other. My guess would be 1 - Bama, 2- Arkansas, 3 - LSU, as voters tend to look at late season games more favorably. But Alabama has the weakest case. They got to play both teams at home (in comparison, Arkansas had to play both games away from home), and LSU beat Oregon non-conference. If this were the case, Alabama would advance to Atlanta cuz they beat Arkansas, the 2nd highest ranked of the 3. And my guess would be that LSU plays Alabama in the National Championship. Stanford probably won't even play in the Pac-12 title game, which hurts their chances. And I'm on record as saying I believe OU will beat OSU.
