Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
[ QUOTE ]
Don't forget that Rutgers SOS will also go up if Pitt wins this game against UCONN, and then beats either WVU or Louisville. Or am I wrong there? Edit: Big East is in the heart of its conference schedule, which has been noted earlier. [/ QUOTE ] Rutgers has played both pitt and uconn, so I wouldn't think this game would effect their sos.

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
image, though, as they need to rack up wins verse top 25. Pitt had a chance of squeezing upto that status. Uconn did not.

Rutgers played North Carolina, Illinois, Ohio, Navy, and Howard...they have no one to blame but themselves if they run the table and are left out. [/ QUOTE ] Michigan has ND, Vandy, Central Michigan, and Ball State. Only one of those is worth a damn. tOSU has Northern Illinois, Texas, Cincinnati, and Bowling Green. Again, only one good team. Not saying that the schedules are even, but it's not like the other schools were out there scheduling a ton of big names. A single game that's more difficult should not put a one loss team ahead of an undefeated team.

[/ QUOTE ] it will with the voters, and that's who Rutgers need to impress (computers are going to love them if they beat W.Virginia). Gus - the point im alluding to is this: several times this week i've heard people complaining that Rutgers had no chance to make the NC game no matter what they did all season. This just isn't true. They have a (relatively) weak schedule, but so do Louisville and W.Virginia, and they both would have made it if they ran the table. here's the difference: Rutgers hasn't been playing championship caliber football. Especially with a weak conference, you can't beat N.Carolina by 6, Ohio by 17, S.Florida by 2, UConn by 11. Louisivlle and W.Virginia just don't have these tight games against weak teams (Louisville over Cincy by 6 is the only exception). If Rutgers wants to be the #2 team in the country, they need to play like it. With an easy schedule just winning isn't enough. It isn't their preseason ranking that's killing them, it's all these competitive games with sub-par teams.

Out of conference schedule Arkansas, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. All of which have a chance at going to a BCS game. If USC and Rutgers both win out, I would put USC ahead of Rutgers.

ridonk,
I don't think I would argue with that. They definitely made the schedule to earn a birth. However, I really wish their one loss would've been to a better team than Oregon St.

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
well, hopefully they lose to Cal and beat ND, otherwise we'll have to put up with an obviously not-great one-loss ND team in the NC game instead of an obviously not-great but undefeated Rutgers team.

Re: You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate
It is my goal for the rest of the season to make people realize that Texas is not the best of the 1 loss teams, because Texas should be 8-2.
WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT THE NEBRASKA GAME! Texas was DONE, GAME OVER, DRIVE HOME SAFELY. With just under 2 minutes left, Nebraska a 1 point lead and Texas no timeouts left, here's what happened since so many people seem to forget : 3rd and 3 at NEB 36 Zac Taylor pass complete to Terrence Nunn for 9 yards, fumbled at the Neb 45, forced by Aaron Ross, recovered by Marcus Griffin at the Neb 45, tackled by Aaron Ross. Had this [censored] Nunn not fumbled the ball, the game was over. The game was under 2 minutes left, Nebraska got a first down on the above play, and Texas didn't have a timeout left. WHY IS TEXAS ONE OF THE BEST 1 LOSS TEAMS?!?!?!?!?! You got to be freakin kidding me.
