Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Wow.....2014? Sounds crazy but that's when the next NCAA football champion will be crowned. Alabama ruled over all this past season. Next season we start the 4-team playoff to determine the mythical BCS champion. What 4 teams will make it to the final showdown? Who will emerge as the champ? Can anyone break the SEC's hold on the title? Will I ever stop asking questions? Let the argument begin!
 
You make light of it but I'm guessing the Irish will be ranked quite highly in the pre-season polls.

Of course they will. They're 12-1. And, to be frank, I think they will deserve it. While I readily acknowledge they played like crap last night, and they were completely out-classed, they're still a quality team. Plus, a few more years of Kelly at the helm, and they'll do nothing but get better. They're a relevant team again. Not a national champion team, but certainly not insignificant.
 
Doesn't the playoff start with the 2014/15 season? I could be wrong about that.

Well one thing I know for sure is the The Ducks will break my heart again in 2013, of that there is no doubt. They'll probably go 12 and 1 again and finish in the top 5, but no National Championship. The year after I die is the year they'll finally win the NC :1orglaugh
 
The SEC beats themselves out of the NC.

Notre Dame is better, but lose at Stanford, dropping them from #1 on the last day of the season.

Oregon and Ohio St will run the table and face each other in the big game. Oregon wins. Kelly leaves.

Is this Manti Te’o shit for real?! :rolleyes:

Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, the stories said, played this season under a terrible burden. A Mormon linebacker who led his Catholic school's football program back to glory, Te'o was whipsawed between personal tragedies along the way. In the span of six hours in September, as Sports Illustrated told it, Te'o learned first of the death of his grandmother, Annette Santiago, and then of the death of his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua.

Kekua, 22 years old, had been in a serious car accident in California, and then had been diagnosed with leukemia. SI's Pete Thamel described how Te'o would phone her in her hospital room and stay on the line with her as he slept through the night. "Her relatives told him that at her lowest points, as she fought to emerge from a coma, her breathing rate would increase at the sound of his voice," Thamel wrote.
Halfway down the article:
This week, we got in touch with a woman living in Torrance, Calif. We'll call her Reba, to protect her identity. She was initially confused, then horrified to find that she had become the face of a dead woman. "That picture," she told us over the phone, "is a picture of me from my Facebook account."

Yeah, looks like it was real. And the more that comes out, it seems impossible that he didn't know. In this instance, he's either incredibly gullible, or the biggest douchenozzle in the world. Which is a shame, I had such respect for this guy as he seemed to be full of integrity. Lots of info here:

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
Its so ironic that is was proven that ND was a fraud, and now, this shit with Manti Te'o's so called girlfriend, he seemed like a conceded fuck to me whenever I watched interviews with him, he just seemed like he wasn't genuine and now its coming out that his relationship was a hoax, and I think he knew that shit, it was just a ploy to gain sympathy, I mean I feel for the guy losing his grandmother, that's genuine, and I've gone through losing my entire extended family so I know the grief, but too add the additional heaviness of having a non-existing girlfriend and her death just sounds like a ploy for sympathy and outs Manti as a fraud as well. I don't think he was a victim of a cruel joke, what star athlete gets suckered by a commination only relationship that he has NO ivestment in??? do you really believe he found a sexy phone partner :quack: that he fell in love with and he led everybody to believe she was his GF? :facepalm: I call :bs: I think and maintain that, that whole team, Manti included is just a media desperate upstart to regain its prestigious notoriety again. :2 cents:

Your whole line of thinking is based out of misguided schadenfreude bullshit.

Teo is really gay, they just covered it up. Its the only thing that makes sense.
 
A linebacker from the Arizona Cardinals also claims to have met this Lennay girl. It keeps getting weirder.

Te'o and his parents are both claiming to have met this imaginary girl. Either they are both in on it, or the hoax went as far as to introduce a real person to Te'o who looked exactly like the girl they stole the picture from. But then why steal pictures from FB and Instagram if you already have someone in on the hoax? I think they both lied about meeting the girl. Why? Hide his homosexuality? Embarrassed about having an online gf? I don't know.

Either Te'o is the most gullible and trusting person on the planet or he's in on it. I'm going with the latter.
