Not sure whether to be insulted by this, or not...

If you gave us Rutgers' schedule this year, how do you think we would have done?

North Carolina Central (what division is this?) W
@ North Carolina Tossup
Ohio U (Frank Solich) W
@ Syracuse W
Pittsburgh W
Navy W
@ Louisville Tossup
West Virginia Tossup
USF W
@ Army W
Cincinnati Tossup
@ UConn (automatic W here as we beat them)

So, I give us 8 wins plus 4 tossups. Divide those 50/50 - I think we could beat Cincinnati and Louisville but might lose @ UNC and against WV at home. You give us Rutgers' schedule, and we finish 10-2 (6-1) and are in a BCS game this year.

And just so you know, EVERY ONE of these teams is ranked below us in Sagarin. We'd be favored in EVERY SINGLE ONE of these games by that system. 12-0.

Louisville would be a win. Watched them get beat by FIU earlier this year and they just looked terrible.

I really hope all of the teams in the Big XII show up for their bowls, and go undefeated. Maybe a blow out or two thrown in. Just to show these idiots.

ISU will always little brother because they will never be able to win 8 or more games on a semi consistent basis.

Iowa State could beat Alabama. S*** it Nick Saban

#2 sched in the country and the media is making ISU out to be some terrible team. The #2 SCHEDULE in the country, with a freshman QB....and ISU is STILL Bowl bound. **** all of 'em. 8 teams bowling in the toughest conference in the country. The Big 12 had the BEST non-conference record as well.

The Big 12 got jobbed today.

Top ten schedules in the country are all Big XII.

The top 10 strength of schedule ratings are the 10 big 12 teams. Wow.

Okie State lead 24-7 in the third quarter.
I'd say it's all on them that they aren't playing in the big game.

Yeah powee man, I am SO insulted (as opposed to proud) that I want some heads to roll. Like Sherman. Like Gill. Wait, those already rolled.

ISU had it on the table too for a major improvement. Just finish against K State and there could have been a big jump. Its not as easy as it sounds.

I'm with the Big 12 going undefeated in bowls, would send a great message. A few will stumble though, they always do. Lets just crush Rutgers and let that send its own message.

Rematch deserved, but Sugar Bowl a travesty - College Football - Rivals.com

The pertinent paragraphs read:

"People say Alabama had its shot? Well, Oklahoma State had its shot, too. All the Cowboys had to do was win their final two games and they were in the title game. Then they went to Ames and were shocked by 29-point underdog Iowa State.

That invoked a little-known BCS bylaw, rule 10.3.1.14, which reads thusly: Any team that loses to Iowa State is automatically ineligible to win the national title.

Alabama lost by three to the undisputed No. 1 team in the land. Oklahoma State lost to a Cyclones team that finished 6-6. There is no comparison."

:unsure:

I think he just forgot his sarcasm pirate. I'm not as upset about it as many. I'd like to use the whole subjective ranking process as a means to fire up the troops and take no prisoners. :realmad:
