[CFB] College Football Preseason

[AladainAF]

no doubt mad props to pitt.

any predictions on whos gonna be in the championship game after this mess?

[Twobit Whore]

Only 3 or 4 options imo. Oklahoma, LSU, or USC.. maybe VT.

[Genjiro]

Haha.

The USC and LSU fans are going to be going full fucking force at each others throats again over who should get in, just like preseason. I doubt Georgia gets in, they let Nebraska in without winning their conference in 2001 and they got crushed. Since VT got killed by LSU, I dont see them getting in.

[Akileese]

What the holy mother fuck was that throw? Why is Pat White maing long throws with a fucked up thumb under ANY circumstances? Grats buddy, you just made a running QB with a bad hand make a horrible throw and cost yourself a shot at a national title. Stick with what works. Stop using fucking SHOTGUN MOTHER FUCKING SNAPS and FUCKING LONG PASS PLAYS! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! YOU COCKSUCKER! NOW FUCKING OSU GETS TO TROT THEIR PUSSY MOTHERFUCKING BITCH ASSES IN A TITLE GAME.

I quit college football until there is a playoff.

OU seems to have this in hand now so what, fucking Georgia vs OSU? Does LSU or Va Tech vault everyone to play? I mean dear christ. Get the dick out of your asses and do what's fucking best for the game. You talk about the fucked up seasons where there are 3 undefeateds and one gets left out (usually rightfully so). What about this season where two teams who DON'T EVEN PLAY have a legitimate shot of moving up simply because they were idle. So yep. They don't play at the right time therefore they can't hurt themselves. Fucking Garbage. Plain and simple.

I guess we'll know in two days. I'm just looking at the standings and watching a team who doesn't have to play thanks to their shitty conference and this shitty system vault into a fucking national championship game without doing anything. Hell, I'd rather see LSU and Va Tech vault everyone and play than watch OSU and Georgia/Kansas now play for 2 weeks and be able to get in a title game. This is just a fucking crock.

Don't forget. It's in the hands of a fucking computer. It'll end up Va Tech or Georgia. There's no way in hell USC vaults two teams who won their conference. That isn't even remotely possible.

Akileese, Pat Whites injured thumb was on his non throwing hand.

USC won their conference. And the voters have plenty of power. Whoever is voted #2 by the humans will get in.

BCS Championship is a mess if OK wins. Who plays OSU, Georgia? LSU? USC? VT? OK? BCS committee will be happy for the next month since this will be the topic of discussion everywhere lol.

[Akileese]

Regardless. When has Pat White ever made 30 yard throws out of a shotgun? And his handling of shotgun snaps is effected by both hands which was my major gripe. He shouldn't be throwing the ball. I mean fuck, the kid has no business being a fucking QB period and in the most important game of his life you tell him to sit in a shotgun formation (which a bad thumb) and have him hurl the ball down field. Why not do what's worked all year? It was just fucking retarded to watch.

[Genjiro]

Heh, well nothing was working tonight. It really does feel like there is a #2 curse, but I agree they should have just run the ball four times in a row I think they could have gotten first downs at the end. Oh well, we had a good season regardless, and Pitt wanted it more tonight and played great defense.

Realistically, this might have been our shot. WVU has 9 defensive starters who graduate this year, and even though the entire offense minus Schmidt will return, it wont be enough to beat a good team with a new defense unless they get some amazing freshmen and sophomores to step up next year. I want to be pissed off, but I really cant. Even with my Mounties losing, this year has been insane and so fun to watch.

In the end, I blame those dumb uniforms.

Every 2 loss team now has a legitimate gripe to get in the NC game. Some weird voodoo shit is going on this season. WVU hasnt lost a home night game in like 20 years, and the Vegas oddsmakers had WU at get this...a 97% lock to win this game. If someone bet the house on Pitt, holy shit they are buying their own island right now.

I was going to edit something short but I felt like posting it fresh.

TwoBit, I know they won. But how in faith can you take a team out of a weak conference and vault them over two teams who won when they're significantly behind in points?

6 Virginia Tech 7 2164 .7593 T-5 1161 .7740 17 19 19 21 22 22 .810 6 .7811 8
7 LSU 5 2215 .7772 7 1134 .7560 20 21 21 20 18 18 .790 7 .7744 1
8 USC 9 2059 .7225 9 1073 .7153 18 20 13 14 16 16 .640 T-10 .6926 11
9 Oklahoma 8 2132 .7481 8 1126 .7507 14 10 15 13 13 17 .550 12 .6829 10

I mean, if you go just by the numbers, you're going to take a team with a much weaker schedule, 1 less win and game played and vault them over 4 teams (two of whom are idle).

What's REALLY scary is if you look at the AP Poll, Georgia is 100 points clear of Kansas and over 150 clear of anyone else. I think there's a horrifying chance that Georgia/OSU could happen. I mean, how can you even be in this situation?

The changes that need to happen in this off-season that don't concern a play-off
1) Big 10 conferences need a title game. This is a no-brainer. If the NCAA has to bend their rules to allow it to happen, so be it.
2) I wouldn't be opposed to a 3rd/4th game where the 2nd teams in each conference face off just so they're not idle. This is a big step in dis-allowing idle teams to back door into the title game like OSU is about to do and possibly Georgia as well. This way if Georgia played today and won, they'd at least have a good argument for getting into the title game. A 3/4 game seems pointless on paper, but it's merely a way to cover all bases and I really wouldn't be opposed to it at all.

False Genj, this has nothing to do with the uniforms and everything to do with my rooting for WVU this year.

The Padres, the Chargers, now WVU.

Dammit Adam. You just ruined my fucking Christmas by putting OSU in the title game. /cry

[Adam12]

If it makes you feel any better, I can root for OSU!

If Mizzou loses, I don't see why KU wouldn't be the last team in the NC still. Talking about putting two loss teams there all night, but haven't heard them really mention Kansas

I'm not saying I would, but they have some ground to make that argument.. and being objective I would at least have to listen to it.

They lost to a team that is getting blown out in their conference championship. Honestly it should be a stipulation that you have to win your conference to play in the NC game.. or be Notre Dame.
