TCU has 2 wins vs top 25 teams. You might try rerunning your deal and see what it shows now.

I didn't run anything, I just saw a screencapture on another site. Texas has played Ok State. TCU has played Clemson, BYU, and Utah.

pardon me. I thought you had run some program.

I'm not sure why it matters now if the rankings only at this time are what is important. I don't see all three of those teams ending in the top 25 just as there will be more than 1 texas win that will be a top 25 bcs team very soon.

I am not nearly as big a college football fan since 1997. Michigan was undefeated, and so was Nebraska. Nebraska beat Missouri because of an illegal play where a Nebraska WR kicked the ball on purpose preventing it from hitting the ground and another Nebraska player caught it as time expired. Michigan was clearly the better team, and was all but guaranteed the National Championship as long as the beat Ryan Leaf and Wash St in the Rose Bowl. They were told going into the game that if they won even by 1 point, they were undisputed Champs! That is when Tom Osbourne decided to announce his retirement, Peyton Manning and Fat Fullmer laid down in the bowl game against Nebraska, and Michigan gets robbed and has to share the title with Nebraska because they won the coaches poll out of sympathy for Osbourne! Come to find out Fat Fullmer was so upset about Woodsen getting the Heisman over Manning, Fullmer rnaked Michigan 7th! on hi spoll, and his own Tennesee with 2 losses ahead of them! It is dirty crap like this that really made me lose intrest in the sport. I wont be back until they have a playoff. It is just WWE right now.

I dont think you can have a playoff system until all the conferences have a championship game. Pac 10 needs to invite Fresno State, BYU, or Utah in. Big 10 has a legit reason for not having a Championship game: Very few teams other then Marshall and Notre Dame. Once you have these two conferences you can set up a playoff system.

One thing I am tired of has a Alabama tax payer is Alabama and Auburn giving millions of dollars to schools like Middle Tennessee State and North Texas to come play us for the out of conference games. I think it should be a law for both Alabama and Auburn that states that both teams have to play atleast two smaller Division I schools in state every year with Bama or the Tigers playing at their place every third year. That list would be from UAB, Samford, South Alabama, or Troy. Then they can use the 3rd game to build strength of schedule by scheduling a Penn State or Michigan State. No reason to pay a school like North Texas 4 million when you can keep all that money in state.

Does anyone really think that is TCU was in the SEC they would be still undefeated? and talking about ranked
teams played is weak...Is playing the #20 and #18 team in the country really any different from playing
the #26th and #29th team in the nation?

TCU played a few legit teams, they beat Clemson by 4 and squeaked by Air Force, those teams are NOT
comparable to teams in the SEC or Big 12. I don't think a team that beats 2 ranked teams and 8 cupcakes
should be considered for the national title game, but then again USC has been doing it for years and yes
minus the championship game, which has kept ALOT of good teams out of it. We all know a loss at the
beginning of the year counts FAR less than a loss at the end.

Remember how great Va Tech and Miami used to be in that pathetic conf they were in? Now they join the
ACC and suddenly its a different story. Sure each team plays decent teams and each team plays cupcakes
but its the middle of the pack teams where the difference is huge.

plus we all know its about money and no one wants to see Cincy or TCU in the NT game. That ain't going to
make money!

The team on the right....BY FAR!!!!!!!!

And the teams revealed

This doesn't mean jack.The fact is...TCU just can't cut the mustard.Not that I wouldn't love to see them try.That is what I am arguing.I think they deserve a shot at the least in a playoff type format.I mean...who knows.They may end up going all the way.I doubt it but I certainly don't like the fact that we leave so many "what ifs".I think they need to start erasing those.I also agree that Texas as well as a lot of these other top ranked teams need to be playing heavy caliber opponents out of conference.Lets see LSU play Texas.Or maybe the Gators.I want to see them earn it.

I would if they earned the trip via a playoff.If there was a playoff and Texas or Alabama or the Gators got stomped by one of those teams...wouldn't you want to see them play?I would.Even though my Longhorns would be out of it.I still want to see the best two teams play.I was led to believe that is not what we are seeing and if that is the case...it sucks.

It's interesting that you don't think TCU could beat a "top tier" college. They had a harder schedule this year than Florida and Texas. TCU SOS is 32 to Texas 50 and Florida 37. I think Alabama is the best team in the country and TCU is second.


No...no they didn't.I won't agree to that.I don't think TCU could beat Texas, Florida, or Alabama.I'd be willing to bet money on that too but sadly...I can't because we don't even have a chance to see.

I would love to see a florida or texas play these so called undefeated teams, but that isn't going to happen, both
of those teams don't have the balls to play the hot out of conf teams....but do you blame them? Texas
benifited from a weak conf this year, but how often does that happen? Look at the Big 12 last year...brutal
and they almost did it. Florida also benifited from an off year from the SEC east, I mean has Tenn, LSU and
Georgia ever sucked this hard all the same year?

For me its all about those extra games, Virginia, Texas St and SMU just don't cut it. Next year they add
powerhouse Baylor to the schedule....weak!

They played a played a tougher schedule than Florida and a slightly easier schedule than Alabama so what would lead you to believe they would be dominated in the SEC?

Dude...I keep up with TCU and they are reported on quite heavily here.There is no way in hell they played a tougher schedule than Florida or Alabama.Go ahead...post up a list of teams TCU played this year(I already know who they played) and lets match them.None of the teams TCU plays(for the most part save one or two) can even compete with the recruiting of the other schools.By that reason alone...the SEC and the Big 12 are freaking loaded with talent.The MWC is not.Never has and never will be.TCU has a great team but I am tired of people acting like these lower tier conferences are way better than the big boys.Its why I really do wish they had a playoff system in place.But please don't try to compare the schedule of TCU to Florida or Alabama.

So strength of schedule means nothing to you then since you keep up with them?

Ha.


Okay.Here are the teams that are worth a damn that TCU has had to play.
Clemson
SMU
Air Force
BYU
Utah

Here are the teams that are decent that Alabama has to play.
Virginia Tech
Arkansas
Kentucky
Ole Miss
So. Carolina
LSU
Auburn
Florida

Here are the teams that are decent that Florida has to play.
Kentucky
LSU
Arkansas
Georgia
So. Carolina
Florida St.
Alabama


Now I see 8 good teams that Bama has to play and seven good ones the Gators have to play.I see 5 good ones TCU has to play.And that's if you can call schools like SMU and Air Force a good football school.I was going strictly by wins and losses of the opponents they are playing.If you want to believe that TCU had some tough schedule to go against...its fine and its your opinion.The rest of the world will most likely not agree.And if you want to say some of the sec schools go up against some cake teams and that's how they get their wins...I'll agree but you also forget...not every game they play is against cake teams.Most of the ones TCU plays against are cake teams.Its why I also feel the Longhorns don't get enough credit either.Playing against Oklahoma and OSU and Tech every year...those are three games that are pretty much garanteed trouble.Plus if Mizzou is doing worth a damn...you have to factor them in as well.And those are usually ranked teams too.Then you have USC out there living the good life not playing much of anybody.Luckily a few teams have come along and handed them the ass whippin they need.

The actual facts and numbers say that TCU had a harder schedule. It's not a matter of opinion. I posted the strength of schedule a few posts ago but I'll so again.

Alabama 24th
TCU 32th
Florida 37th
Texas 50th

Sure you can look at each teams schedule and say who you think is a tougher opponent but the actual numbers are saying that you are wrong. Yes Oklahoma with all of their injuries hurt Texas SOS.

You see...I'm not going by who I think is a tougher opponent...I am going by who won more games.Look at the teams TCU plays and look at their wins and losses.They are pure crap for the most part.Plus a lot of them are in a weak conference to begin with.Look at the teams I listed for Alabama or Florida and look at their wins.Look at the conference they play in.I know what you are getting at but I don't buy into the SOS crap.Some people do.Not me.

Now that all of the games have been played, I'd like to see the final stats on a UT vs TCU vs UC vs BSU. Wins vs top 25, 50, etc.

Now I see 8 good teams that Bama has to play and seven good ones the Gators have to play.I see 5 good ones TCU has to play.And that's if you can call schools like SMU and Air Force a good football school.I was going strictly by wins and losses of the opponents they are playing.If you want to believe that TCU had some tough schedule to go against...its fine and its your opinion.The rest of the world will most likely not agree.And if you want to say some of the sec schools go up against some cake teams and that's how they get their wins...I'll agree but you also forget...not every game they play is against cake teams.Most of the ones TCU plays against are cake teams.Its why I also feel the Longhorns don't get enough credit either.Playing against Oklahoma and OSU and Tech every year...those are three games that are pretty much garanteed trouble.Plus if Mizzou is doing worth a damn...you have to factor them in as well.And those are usually ranked teams too.Then you have USC out there living the good life not playing much of anybody.Luckily a few teams have come along and handed them the ass whippin they need.

The actual facts and numbers say that TCU had a harder schedule. It's not a matter of opinion. I posted the strength of schedule a few posts ago but I'll so again.

Alabama 24th
TCU 32th
Florida 37th
Texas 50th

Sure you can look at each teams schedule and say who you think is a tougher opponent but the actual numbers are saying that you are wrong. Yes Oklahoma with all of their injuries hurt Texas SOS.[/quote:2oic2p95]


You see...I'm not going by who I think is a tougher opponent...I am going by who won more games.Look at the teams TCU plays and look at their wins and losses.They are pure crap for the most part.Plus a lot of them are in a weak conference to begin with.Look at the teams I listed for Alabama or Florida and look at their wins.Look at the conference they play in.I know what you are getting at but I don't buy into the SOS crap.Some people do.Not me.[/quote:2oic2p95]

And that would be your problem. Wins against cake teams, something the SEC is notorious for doing, are giving you your argument. Also, I disagree that USC is living the good life. The Pac 10 is a strong conference.
