OT The NCAA Football Season Discussion

Needless to say, folks around here are pretty pumped! Alot of scarlet and grey in the office today, plus there's a big tray of "GO BUCKS!" cookies and this one lady brought in a big tray of peanutbutter balls dipped in chocolate to look like buckeyes... mmm-mmm!

Basically though, I agree with you guys, college football's postseason is a mess. But if it gets me more chocolate-covered peanutbutter buckeyes, I say long live the BCS!!!!

Unless it's an absolute barnburner or wrapped in controversy, the BCS title game will be a media blip on Tuesday. By Wednesday, college football will be page 3 news.

And what's with the scheduling of the minor bowls interspersed with the BCS games? There's no excuse for So. Miss and _The_ Ohio University to be playing a game in January.

Glad you're stoked, Lex. Good to see someone in the country excited about what should be one of the premier sporting events on the calendar but isn't, at least with the current format and schedule.

If you live in Ohio or Florida or are alums of either team, you're stoked today. If not, you're yawning and already plotting your NFL second-round playoffs betting strategy.

Take care,
PK

I am more scared than stoked. As a Dawg, it will kill me to see Florida win another title.

Good column I found over lunch about how this game is being played six days too late:

http://cbs.sportsline.com/columns/story/9914176

Another note I found in Peter King's NFL column in SI about this issue:

>>>Eagle PR czar Derek Boyko emailed me the other day with a note that the Eagles will have played eight games between the time Ohio State played its last regular season game and the BCS title game tonight.<<<

Take care,
PK

I totally forgot that game was tonight before I read this thread.

Wow, Ohio State is making Florida look like world beaters.

What an overated team.

First Michigan gets waxed by SC and now Ohio State is getting waxed by Florida.

Crazy thing is, the only undefeated team wont be national champs...HAHAHA!

What a great system.

I think everyone but osu fans are rooting for florida since they are the underdog.

But what a decision in the first half by Tressel going for it on 4th and 1. Talk about complete disrespect of Florida.

still a half to go but so far.... domination by florida.

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 11:23 pm

Wow, OSU is pretty damn good! Did they just think they could show up and win? What the f*ck was Tressel thinking on that 4th and 1? Pretty much cost them the game thus far.

Tressel screwed that pooch Gus Grissom style.

There still is a half...Im still not convinced...Though that was a pretty one sided butt whipping...

Im hoping OSU relaxes and starts pounding a bit...They are playing FLAs game so far.

Come on....Tressel knows he's football god. So does OSU. They're not arrogant, just really really confident.

I would love for the voters to protest the BCS and vote Boise State #1. Share the title with Florida.

If Fla wins...I still think its an if....So would I.

GO GATORS!!!!!!!!

I am just besides myself after that first half. If it weren't for that opening kickoff return (why didn't Florida elect to receive after winning the toss???

), it would be a rout by now. FL defense is playing great.
Troy Smith has had lots of protection and they still can't get open.

FL is nototious though for letting up in the 2nd half. Something tells me
this thing is far from over. Two quarters away from a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE!!!!!

JackB1 · Post by **JackB1** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 12:22 am

15 Minutes to go!!!!!!!!

Kind of a boring 3rd quarter compared to the first half, but I'll take it.
FL's offense kind of stalled, but the Gator D is continuing to give OS
nothing.

I don't see Ohio State scoring 3 times in the 4th quarter......but "it ain't over, till it's over".

Smith looks lost out there.

Leak is showing why he was so highly touted coming out of HS.

It's too bad that he will never make it in the NFL. He's got a noodle for an arm. About half of his passes tonight would be picked in the NFL since they just float out there.

Smith has watched his draft stock plummet after this performance. What a disaster he is. 4 completions through 3 quarters...are you serious?

The #1 team in the country is getting 41 rolled on them. What a great system.

BTW, nice career choice by the Florida Coach to turn down that Notre Dame job a few years back.

This just proves that they wait way too long to play this game. There's no reason to have a team wait 50+ days to play in the National Championship. 2 weeks is about as long as you want to go without playing a football game.

wco81 · Post by **wco81** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 12:47 am

Yeah I don't know about Leak's NFL prospects but as a 4-year starter, looks like he's going to lead his team to the national championship.

He's had a weird situation though. He can't use the experience under Meyer in the NFL and his previous coach was incompetent.

As for Smith, there were questions about him because he wasn't the prototypical height. He may be more of a playmaker with his legs at this point (as Vick was), although he's not showing too much elusiveness tonight.

Didnt' Florida wait just as long? Maybe if they waited 2 weeks OSU would have gone down by only 17.

Either way, OSU wouldn't have won this game no matter what the wait. It looks like they thought they'd just show up and they'd get handed the trophy.

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 12:58 am

Well hey...if OSU is gonna go down...you might as well go down in FLAMES. What an ASS-WHOOPIN'. It was a thing of beauty.

WoooooooHoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

The boys from Florida are National Champions Once Again!!!!!!
Great performance all around! Chris Leak is a huge talent and a
class act. I thought Meyer outcoached his opposition as well.

Gotta go watch the postgame!!!!
