Re: NCAA Football Discussions

Well, the Big 12 has this revenue thing fixed up, TCU has left Big East to Big 12. Big 12 wants to stay at 10 teams? (We'll see about that) Missouri is going to stay at Big 12 next year and then think about SEC, that just tells me that the SEC doesn't want Missouri. The Big East wants Boise State? No way that'll happen. The Big East Football Conference is done, I don't see thier idea working.

I think later on the Big 12 will be knocking on Louisville's and Boise State's door. I really think the Big 12 needs 12 teams to really get back on track. Maybe if you want to get vreative, then you can go after WVU, SMU, BYU, or Cincinnati. (Cincy, to stay a BCS school, move your home games to Paul Brown Stadium, that will increase your revenue) If the SEC does not Mizzou, WVU, Louisville, and USF would make the most sense. Again, my thoughts could change with one piece of news. What do you all think?

UPDATE 10/14/11: CUSA and MWC merge football only, into a 22 Team Mega Conference. Wow, good luck getting that to work. Razz

It's a sad day in college football....

Yeah, JoePA. I hate to see his career end like this. He's such a great guy and coach. Sad

As for Conference Relignment, Mizzou goes to SEC and WVU goes to Big 12.
What's next (my prediction):

-Big 12 adds Louisville, Boise State, BYU and Cincinnati. (Next year)
-Big East Football Conference dies and loses BCS bid
-MWC/CUSA takes BCS bid and USF
-Rutgers and UConn move to ACC.

GO LOUISVILLE, WIN THE BIG EAST! Very Happy

Penn State Admins are making a very wrong decision... This would demoralize the football team and they have a high chance of losing to Nebraska on Saturday

by K50 Fri Nov 11, 2011 6:07 pm

I'm torn.... I think Nebraska is going to have more of a fight than they wanted, the stadium crowd (the fourth largest in the world, might I add) isn't going to be happy Razz

I reluctantly think the university made the right decision, as sad as it may be, but putting all of that aside (in my eyes Joe didn't do anything wrong, Spanier did) I wished he would've just left at the end of the year as he planned.

Either way he's gone now... Sad

If you want to predict the BCS championship game:

#2 Oklahoma State = gone
#4 Oregon = gone
#5 Oklahoma = gone

Gotta admit the duckies put up quite a fight at the end if you didn't see it.... but the atrocious first half (and the zebras) buried us :/

My BCS Championship Game prediction:

LSU vs Houston

NOTE: Houston is 13th and UNDEFEATED. Why not?
Lets see if Louisville can win the Big East at 7-5. Smile

Good reasoning.... it's just too bad Houston isn't in a BCS conference. I hope they do get one of the BCS bowls with the at-large spot. Like the Orange Bowl or something.

I wonder what the score would be if they did play LSU Razz

by **canuck3360** Mon Nov 21, 2011 3:16 pm

Houston is 8th in the BCS now not 13th btw

and as for my feelings on who'll be in the final game

LSU v Alabama

I really feel a playoff is needed more so than ever but even that would cause issues as a major conference would be left out as it stands right now and another would only see 1 in and another would land 3 in the playoffs with 2 non auto schools n the playoffs.

if the playoffs went off the way it looks right now

#1 LSU v #8 Houston
#2 Alabama v #7 Boise State
#3 Arkansas v #6 Stanford
#4 Oklahoma State v #5 Virginia Tech

Pretty intriguing matchups
