paul carruthers Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ok, I'm not quite as keen on the college game as I am the NFL--all that aside, I have to wonder, when did being undefeated not rate you a spot as the 1# team in the country or even #2. FSU has zero losses over the last season & a half, they are the defending National Champs--but apparently FSU plays down to a lot of their competition. I keep hearing the phrase "body of work" as far as explaining why the Noles are not #1. Hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's too bad about the Mississippi teams. If those two teams had been playing in any other conference.... Congrats to TCU. If they had been playing in any other conference they probably wouldn't have the recruits they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing the phrase "body of work" as far as explaining why the Noles are not #1. Hmmmm.... Exactly Paul. It's the NCAA. Playing down to their opponents? How about everyone else LOSING to their opponents??? This is all a ploy to get people talking and paying attention to their ridiculous ranking. Defending champs, 28-game winning streak, rated 2nd toughest schedule of the top 10 teams. I guarantee if they and Alabama both win this weekend, they will not play in the first round like they are slated now. This last ranking is basically advertisement for what they want - an Alabama v. FSU championship game. It looked like Winston had money on the Gators last weekend - which isn't that far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I believe Georgia Tech will beat FSU. I absolutely believe it. And my cousin goes to FSU making it tough for me to say the words on Facebook but I may. Georgia Tech is a darn good team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOTS of turmoil in Tallahassee this past week. They looked bad enough against the Gators, that's for sure! I hope not though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ole Miss caught a break right there! 14-0, TCU right now. Tomorrow the "playoffs" begin: Florida St. vs. Oregon Ohio St. vs. Alabama Any picks? I'm going with a FSU/Bama title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 FSU/Bama would make me happy. Stomp Mr. Crabbs into the turf of the Jerry Dome. I'm actually beginning to like *gulp* Lane Kiffin. (Did I really write that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Bowl games rollin' on New Year's Day, like the old times....Citrus Bowl has had a crazy start. 3 turnovers in 4 minutes. What has happened to the "mighty SEC" in the bowl games recently??? Rick was right about Georgia Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yeah, I watched some of the Rebels' game and it was BAAAD! They kept getting turnovers, but couldn't score. Looking forward to tonight's games! Good game on right now: Baylor v. Michigan St., tied at 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hi Everyone! Just thought I would pop in to say "Go Buckeyes"! I am hoping for a OSU vs. Oregon national championship. Good luck to Jabe, but I think this is the year for the Buckeyes. As much as I like Alabama and have many Optometrist friends there, I have to predict the Buckeyes will go all the way this year! Just a note: It is interesting that Kirk Herbstreit, a former Ohio State player, is covering the Oregon/FSU game, not Ohio State. He gets too much grief from the Buckeye fans, so much so that he had to move out of Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey there Doc! I was just thinking about you and OSU! Nice to see you! Well, FSU should be winning but are down by 5 at the half. I don't know who is gonna pull this one out, but the Oregon coach does not look as confident as Jimbo does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the SEC did not have a good bowl showing this year. Now we get an old-fashioned Pac-10 vs. Big 10 Rose Bowl matchup in the championship game. Nothing old-fashioned about Oregon, though. Tempo, tempo, tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddladner Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Congrats, BUCK'EYE' DOC! SEC had a very poor showing, indeed. Both Oregon and Ohio State were fun to watch (play like you want to win), gonna be a great match up in the championship game!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be like an old fashioned Rose Bowl game, the last one that I went to in person was January 1st, 1985 when Ohio State got a beat down from USC!

Bong-Man Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 What a great victory by my MSU Spartans ! With all the focus in Ann 'Arbaugh, I couldn't think of a better way to show who owns this State. The Big 14 finally shows up with some victories.

Strider Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 There is only one question that matters for the Title Game: Can Ohio St.'s defense stop or at least slow down the Oregon Duck's offense? I have no doubt that Ohio St. will score points on Oregon's defense. The question is how many points will the Ducks score? If the Buckeyes can hold the Ducks to 24 or less, then they have a shot.
