I'll be honest, well, I always am, lol, but really didn't expect the 2 rank, maybe 4, but 2.....you look at the make-up of the committee, and I stated this in August I believe, very pro Pac-12. I also stated I thought Stanford would be there, lol, but that ain't happening. I like the Ducks, just wish they'd figure out how to cover a game damnit, can't bet them and sure as hell not betting against them. May they run the table and be there, we need a good mix, as I posted, Ducks, Tide, Horned Frogs and Buckey would make a real nice foursome.

I was hoping to see Pharoh Brown last to the end of the year without getting himself hurt. Not a critical loss by any means. If anything, it's a tribute to Oregon's depth, but with a name like Pharoh, that brings along with it some charisma. I personally think that when Mariota leaves this winter, the Ducks will have plenty of that just laying around. All of these new guys seem to have a way of emboldng their names in a big hurry. Whoever steps in as their new QB will have his path laid out before him in rose petals by the time game one starts in '15. Learned something new from all of this -- it's not who you recruit that makes a big difference in reloading your roster, it's how well who you recruit fits in. Never looked at it quite that way.
Glad to see Oregon on your list of Contenders.....FWIW, you may recall, well before the opening kick-off of the 2014 season,
I stated that Oregon would be in the hunt for the NC. The loss to AZ put a "damper" on many of the well-wishers.......
not mine; I knew they would come-back, better than ever. I'm no expert but I've been following college football for 70 years and I can recognize a good football team when I see one........The Ducks are one-of-them.
From what I see, I doubt if there will ever be an undefeated NC team again the way the game is played today There is so much
talent available that establishes parity making it almost impossible for a coach to get a team-up every week to play 13 or even 14 game schedules (plus the play-offs for those that are selected) against so much top-notch competition. I hope these kids are eating their "Wheaties"....the breakfast of champions"....LOL
P.S. I miss your posts (selections)...I'm having to adjust my life-style (cut in pay).....I'm on a "fixed" income......LOL's
Please continue with your mindless diatribe. This is like watching an experiment. When will you finally figure out that you are making a fool of yourself? My bet is never. You are you of those impotent goofs that has to have the last word no matter how stupid you look. Prove me right again... Go ahead. You know you can't stop yourself. LOL.
Mack, surprisingly the 2 pairings I mentioned included 2 teams from the Pac and 2 from the B-12. Ever heard of that? Well the odd thing about that is this idea doesn't include either an ACC or an SEC team, but it's theoretically a possibility if TCU and Baylor's body of work looks better in the end than Bama and FSU, not that hard to imagine. Any way you look at it, the committee has a point if it does happen. By the way, is LSU still ranked? And is there any of the remaining 5 playoff contenders with as few wins vs ranked opponents as FSU?
I am not 100% sure what the playoff committee is doing or will do in the future, but these are strange days that really may not be so strange in the end when all the games have been played provided that a couple of these teams don't win out as it's expected they will. (as Auburn managed to fuck it all up for themselves) What if FSU winds up the season looking flat?
But, but, but I thought the sky was falling in regards to the BIG XII conference GS??!! Remember how you are always saying how bad the conference does/ will suck? All you talked about during realignment was how the sky is falling on the BIG XII. Now it's the 2nd best conference in the nation and that's with its 2 juggernauts sucking balls. Pretty stout conference DeLoss set up in my opinion.
A Big 12 team isn't in yet, so don't count your chickens. This conference is terrible JB and you know it. Don't try to defend Dodds. Old dusty balls is gone for a reason, he outlived his welcome and fucked up the conference along with taint licker David Boren and the LHN. You can paint it any way you want to, but when you lose 4 power programs and a championship game, you no longer are a power conference. The Big 12 isn't anywhere close to the SEC or Pac-12. So don't try to paint us as the second best conference. We fall off dramatically after TCU and Baylor.
Sooner.....It probably would be best to make reference to "Cattle" when JB is "counting" prematurely; "Chickens" are below his scope and level of engagement.....He is a Texan. If you really want to get his attention, refer to a head-count of the women he knows when Texas is on the road and he makes the trip. His stable (coral) is full on each road-trip. I've never under-estimated "Ol jblonghorn".
Nope not even close. The big xii is one of if not the weakest P5 conferences. They had their chance to beat ranked and respected programs in ooc and failed each test. Bama = loss. FSU = loss. Auburn = loss. Arky (not even ranked and last place in the SEC WEST= loss. Iowa St even lost to N. Dakota St. Reality, not opinion. Deloss(texas) is a moron and got schooled by Texas A&M in realignment.
