Whose going to be in the championship game?


There's been a lot of upsets lately, just today Cal and Texas lost to unranked teams.

Ohio State and Michigan.

If BCS doesn't screw up anything.

Buckeyes and Gators!

hehehe...

People aren't really into college football eh?!

oh please don't remind me hahaha

i cannot believe we (texas) lost to an unranked team. just proves that colt mccoy has been doing a good job.

Haha yeah. Texas might have had another shot at the title if it wasn't for that.

i thought the loser of this next matchup wont play in the national title because they wont be conference champs?
correct me if im wrong

I think you are right, unless the Michigan - Ohio State game is really close, and the loser maintains the #2 ranking on the BCS. Then these teams will have a re-match on the National Championship game.

Nobody wants a rematch and it won't happen.

Anyway my pick for the NC game is Michigan vs USC. The Rose Bowl in the desert.

R.I.P Bo Schembechler we will miss you here in Michigan

GO BLUE!!!

O yeah. Forgot about that.

Hmm ... I want USC to go to NC, seems like they have a good chance now ....

They just need to own Cal and ND

Oh I didn't know he also played defense.

oh no.....colt mccoy didn't play qb in that game against kansas state he got injured so the other Texas qb played.

it's sad that we lost to KANSAS STATE of all teams ahhhh.


we actually stood a chance at the nationals.....

if we lose to A&M this friday, i just might cry and die in a dark hole. i will officially lose all my crap talking rights to all my Aggie friends if that happens hahaha.

Ohio State is in the BCS championship; just have to wait to see who will be joining the Buckeyes. I think the team with the best shot at this moment is Michigan. Yes, they lost to Ohio State, but it was a close game. The other one-loss teams behind Michigan still have games to play. If USC beats Notre Dame and UCLA, I would think USC gets a shot at Ohio State. Florida and Arkansas also have a shot, but they still have games to play as well, including their matchup in the SEC championship.
Personally, I'd prefer an Ohio State-USC matchup.

That wasn't a close of a game as the score indicated. Either a 1 loss USC or a 1 loss SEC champ should and will get a shot before Michigan.

hey don't be so down about that..

USC.. which is my favorite team.. also my hometeam..
we lost to Oregon State.. which is.. kinda sickening.. considering how we destroyed Oregon U who was ranked at the time..

it's a sick and twisted world the BCS..

even when USC is 2nd in both the human polls.. BCS calculations say they're 3rd..

BCS makes the fans really just want more..

i dunno why.. i dunno how.. but as frustrating as the BCS can be.. it makes college football alot more fun and dramatic. ^^

BCS Standings as of 11-21-06

14. Rutgers (9-1) .4809
15. Oklahoma (9-2) .4225

Even though USC is third in the BCS rankings, they only trail Michigan by .008. Trojan fans needn't worry just yet because if USC beats ND and UCLA they can easily make up that small deficit, and overtake Michigan for the #2 spot.

my longhorns let me down again today....there goes 5 years of BLABBIN RIGHTS down the drain.

i didn't watch the game due to work but i heard all about it and i don't even want to bother with the "highlights" of the game since i doubt there were any.


so, if anyone would like to fill me in on how my team just threw out any chance at even going to Big 12 Championship or even a bowl.....feel free lol.

:::::crawls into darkhole::::::

^yeah, everyone's saying how that game was his worst performance. i believe he had 3 interceptions? the game was pretty much over when he threw an interception with like 1 min remaining. i thought the longhorns would do better this season.,.. oh well.

anyways, it sucks that michigan's last game was against ohio. now USC's #2 with still a game left to play. but then again.. i'm kinda glad that USC moved up because i want to see how they measure up to ohio

I'm now fairly convinced that USC will beat Ohio State. They have both the offense and defense and very importantly speed. Should be a fabulous game.

i'm a huge USC fan!

but i'm not convinced that USC will beat Ohio State. I love the trojans and all.. but.. I have a feeling that if USC does make it to the National title game which seems more than likely at this point.. Ohio State might be able to just.. dismantle USC.. just like USC dismantled Oklahoma a couple years back.. it was riduculous.. even though both teams were undefeated..

well all in all

you never know.. but my premonition is that the national title game will be USC vs. Ohio State and the spoils will go to Ohio State. They've been playing alot better ball this whole season..

but still GO USC!!!

Don't we have short memories. SC was favored even more favored in last year's title game and look at what happened.

Texas played Very well last year.. during the regular season. USC played a relatively mediocre ball game...
USC was favored because they had some stars on its team. Vince Young just led the team better in the game...
It was a Pretty even match-up last year actually..

This year is different.. USC hasn't played any better than last year and if anything they played worse this year..
the performance was bad, and they don't have play makers this year. USC is a totally different team this year.

Ohio State on the other hand.. Is and has been playing magnificently. There's no doubt in my mind that USC will have their toughest game against Ohio State. More likely than not USC will be trampled by Ohio State.

UCLA HAHAHAHAH YEAHHHH BOYYYYYYY

I'm listening to crazy people outside yelling slurs at USC... o_o
I guess our school finally won in a loooong time...
But seriously, westwood is so noisy right now

gahhh i am so mad i missed the ulca game... i came home from work right when it ended. so i'm guessing its between michigan and florida for the rosebowl now?

I regret giving up my ticket to the UCLA vs. USC game. Watching Pete Carroll cry on tv just isn't the same. =/

Lol. There are some fine Bruins here. Screw SC!

Ohio State and Florida Will play at the Championship game..

Michigan and USC will play at the Rose Bowl...

if for any reason BCS puts Michigan in the Championship game.. Notre Dame vs USC would be a nice game.. but Likely Rose Bowl wouldn't want Notre Dame.. so anybody would be in contention to play against USC... But more than likely it will be what i said..

Ohio State vs Florida and USC vs Michigan

You have to remember that the polls play a factor into it all as well, and a lot of people are convinced that Michigan is more deserving than Florida. That is still being disputed.. Florida has played a crazy schedule, but Michigan's only lost is by 3 points to a #1 team on their turf.

As a Big Ten fanatic, I would love to see an Ohio State vs Michigan rematch. Actually, as a BCS-hater, I would love to see OSU vs Big Blue rematch. It fuels more fire in trying to bring down a ridiculous computer.

DOWN WITH THE BCS!

Michigan Lost their chance..

Acutlaly i don't believe either deserve the shot at the title..

But my pick for the chamionship game is Florida...

I mean.. if michigan went to play.. and Ohio State Trampled Michigan.. wouldn't you be pissed? that Florida didn't get to show what they got? in a time like this.. you don't want to see the rematch.. you already saw what happened to michigan.. Let's see how Florida plays against Ohio State. I think that would be a better game than Michigan vs Ohio State.. Although neither really deserve it.. Florida deserves it more..

I can't believe I didn't watch that game today.. I just assumed we Bruins would lose. darnnit!

lol, on a brighter note, they beat SC! woohoooo. ppl @ ucla must have gone crazy.. haha

anyone watch RU vs WVU? good game.

poor RU=(

u are so right. there are ppl screaming "F 'SC" outside, running around topless, cars honking, and random helicopters flying around.
and im trying to study for my finals here haha. westwood IS noisy right now, and its been noisy for the past 7 hrs or so. it's a relief that we finally won! its been a long 7 years whew. i really regret not getting a ticket this year, i went last year and it was a horrible horrible 66-19 or something. my friend FELL ASLEEP during the game, that how bad it was.
but GO UCLA! WE'RE THE MIGHTY BRUINS!!!!

chhhyeaaaaAAAAHH. BRUINS WOOT. yea ok im not actually a ucla student but whateves. i was raised blue and yellow daaanmnit lol slash its my pop's alma mater. which is kinda sad thinking about how he was still taking a nap at the beginning of the 2nd quarter whilst i was in the living room tearing up the place haha. and then before the game my mom was all... haha ok so let's see here.... let's use this game to decide where you're going for college if your accepted. HAHA SHE GOT OWNED. guess my fates decided? lol

I LOVE OUR SCRAWNY BRUIN PLAYERRRRS.

Neither deserve their shot at the title? I completely disagree. I think both teams are deserving of a shot at the national title. They are both powerhouse teams who have played against other powerhouse teams (and won most of them). Florida has only one loss, and as Urban Meyer points out every single week, very few teams in the country can play the schedule Florida has played and go 11-1. Michigan beat every team on their schedule convincingly except for one team, a #1 team (and to note, they lost only by a measly 3 points on their home turf!).

As the College Gameday crew on ESPN pointed out, if you are deciding who should go based on whether a rematch is fair or not, then you absolutely shouldn't vote. The BCS title game isn't about who deserves it more; it is about who is the two best teams in the country. Now THAT is highly debatable, and we can only find out what the coaches and computers think at 8 PM EST tonight.

^ I agree, both teams have reasons why they should get the spot to face off against Ohio State. Florida's schedule was rough, while Michigan just has an amazing team this year and just decimated teams. Michigan's schedule is not the strongest by far (I think have the teams they faced has losing records) but that sometimes doesn't mean anything in College Football as shown by the many upsets all over the country this year.

Whichever team goes I feel they deserved it.

As for USC, I'd say BCS next year. They'll have much of their starters returning, and with their impressive reputation and scouting they will get new player next year on an already strong team.

I'm wondering...if Bush stayed around for another year would he have made an impact?

there was no chance that bush would've stayed.. he had absolutely no reason to..
i'm happy that he left.. not that i didn't like him in USC.. but..
Being in USC for another year means.. potential injury leading to no NFL contract...
but Jarret will stay because of the loss against UCLA. Even if Bush played for another year in USC.. it wouldn't have had much of an impact.. I mean.. USC had a good season.. it's just the "expectations" were a little high for USC fans.. kuz they just watched USC trample through seasons with no one in their way. and now that USC lost just three games within a span of 11 months.. people don't see what they want to see.. which is a Trojan Ballclub with no losses on their record and a Championship in their hands.. ^^ technically USC is still undefeated at home^^ but anyway.. yeah.. the thing about bush.. he's gone.. he made history and now he is history.. so why think about what he could've been.. when he's doing a fairly decent job for a rookie in the NFL now?

I think you misunderstood his pondering. He wasn't wondering if Bush would have stayed, rather what would have happened if he did stay.

Jarret is gone (if he is a junior). A player won't stay just because of one loss to UCLA. Going by that theory, Bush would have stayed because he and USC lost to Texas.


So it is official.. Florida is going to face Ohio State and not Michigan. I would have loved to see another Michigan vs Ohio State game.

Being from Michigan I know I am completely biased, so I definitely disagree with Florida being in the championship.
Being from the South I do believe that the SEC is one of the tougher (if not the thoughest) titles to win, but....the SEC teams weren't the old SEC teams this season.

Florida only lost to one team, Auburn, but Auburn also lost to Georgia who also lost to Tennessee AND Vanderbuilt, and I know it's not fair to judge like this, but let's face it, the SEC was exciting this year because of how disappointing teams like Georgia, Alabama, and Auburn was. So although Florida won the SEC, it wasn't the old SEC everyone is used to watching.

I will admit that Michigan did not do very well against OSU, they let a lot of chances go, but despite their mistakes and missed chances there was only a 3 point difference, so in my biased opinion a rematch would definitely bring about some new excitement.

Michigan only had one loss, against OSU...let me say again...OSU!!! the number one team, so I'm kinda upset Florida still topped the Wolverines.

hehe, i'm a first timer here but i love ncaaf! go usc!

--------------------
i'm disappointed there's not gonna be a ohio state vs usc showdown. although usc completely lost their touch during the ucla game, they are still an incredible team (ND game). i feel like usc need to compete against a competitive team in order to bring out their true style... or they just have a curse against UC football teams.

but im very excited this year there are 20ish bowls going on... haha, this is an early xmas present.

AHHHH HOLIDAY BOWL (GO CAL!...damn. OR LONGHORNS! ugggh which to choose..) OR ROSE BOWL (muahah GO MICHIGAAAN)!?!?!?? SOOO FLIIPPING excited.

We are the mighty bruins, the best team in the west, we're fighting on to victory to counquer all the west, we are the mighty bruins, triumphant ever more, and you can here from far and near, the mighty bruins ROAR!!!

I memorized the song, EVEN THOUGH I'M A USC FAN! Don't ask why. hahaha.

that makes no sense. ahha but the question is. do you know the TROJAN fight song. now if you don't. i think you better start checking the colors of your wardrobe. i bet its ALL BLUE AND YELLOW. hahaha.

Typical bRuin fan. Doesn't know their own colors.

And supa'Wanki consider yourself are a traitor.

he meant Cardinal and Gold ^^

USC USC USC!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!

Although I was pissed at the outcome of the USC-UCLA game and as much as I hate Florida, I'm glad that the SEC is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

So, I'm going to hope that Florida doesn't choke and beats Ohio to a PULP.

how can u call urself a true usc fan if u memorized the ucla song and not the usc fight song?! o,0

Fight on! for old SC
Our men Fight on, to victory.
Our Alma Mater dear, looks up to you!
Fight on and win for old SC
Fight on! To victory! Fight on!

oh JEEZ. FINE. MY mistake. TRUE BLUE AND GOLD. for goodness sakes. whateves. let's not get bitter and all be friends ... hahaha.

ps. LET'S GO BLUE. woot.

WOOO!! GO BRUINS!!! hahaha
