SWAG COPTERLet's go back three years when all the dumb ####### Aggies were talking about TAMU dominating Texas football recruiting, challenging Alabama in the SEC West, adn being Johnny Football and Fake Army U forever????
Remember that right here at FBG? Remember that on the innerwebs?

I'm starting to disagree. Assuming Wisconsin wins out, they don't own losses to Iowa State or Syracuse, which might both be unranked when the season is over.
Syracuse is 4-5, they will almost certainly be a long-shot for the Gangnam Style Buttplug Bowl. Iowa State will probably win 8 games.
Ducks would crush the Orange IMO. I don't even understand Iowa State, I was off that day in PR(one of two days total) and I was getting updates on ESPNU on that OU/Iowa State game. OU's D is crap, I know, but losing at home to ISU is crazytown. But the Cyclones beat TCU, and lost in OT to Iowa (who crushed the real Buttplug U), and went into Morgantown and almost won.
Clemson has the bad loss (without their QB for half the game) but would end up with way better wins than Wisconsin. Oklahoma will too and it’s not all that close.
Screw it; let's make it 128 so we're darn sure. The final two rounds are best of 17.
Wisconsin goes undefeated, they’re in. That’s easy. Go undefeated and win a P5 conference, you’re in. I’m not sure why everyone is getting so worked up, the committee has shown they’ll make wild movements in rankings every week. The winner of OU/TCU is jumping Clemson this weekend, then things will start to get more interesting as we move along the final month.
I’m not sure we win out, so it might be moot. This Clemson team is good, possibly very good, but it’s not on the same level as the past couple of years. It’s probably running at about 85% of what last year’s team was capable of doing week to week. Im not going to lose sleep over it, but I think we get in if we do win out. There’s plenty of games left to let things shake out.

With all the buyouts and his salary we should be looking at something close to 30 million this year to get Jimbo. That sounds like something aggie would do.
I just don't think an undefeated team and conference champ from the Big10 is getting left out in favor of 3 teams with one loss. I could be wrong. I just don't think it will be so.
OSU has a history of ####ting the bed against MSU in the shoe... so there's a good shot Wisc will play MSU.
True.
Exactly. When looking back at many seasons, how many teams deserved a shot at the national title? Many seasons only 3 to 4. Occasionally a 5th or 6th. Some only 1 or 2. I am in the camp of "If you did not win your conference championship, you do not deserve a National championship." That does not mean you are not the 2nd best team in the country. If not for TV, I would make the tourney open ended. At the end of the regular season the committee will determine how many teams deserve a shot. Could be 2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8.
Read an article saying the home team has lost every game in this series since 2007. Dang it, break the cycle!One can only hope...
Come on now, that’s not nice. Especially coming from a team that has never beaten the Tigers.

Never. That's the point. There would be controversy at #8. Right now, the highest ranked team in the Pac 12 is at 9 and would be out. Why leave any doubt? Is 68 too many for basketball? We had an 8 seed once win, so it isn't unreasonable to think a 9 seed could win, making 32 too few.
to determine the best team, the NCAA tournament is a terribly stupid thing.
Ten years ago, everyone in favor of a playoff mocked ncaa football for having a mythical champion and wanted it “decided on the field.” We all gave up the magic of New Year’s Day for this. The biggest game of the year for me was the Rose Bowl, and all that tradition and awesomeness is gone now because we wanted a *true* college football champion decided on the field in a tournament. Of course it’s a terribly stupid notion, but the fans demanded it and the institutions and networks were happy to oblige. So we knew the #3 team would be pissed off when there was only one game, and we’d have to go to a 4 team playoff. And now we know just as well that the #5 team will always piss and moan that it should be in over #4 in a 4 team tournament and the #9 will say it should be in over #8 if they have an 8 team tournament. Ultimately, what we really need is to have a shorter conference season to get some seedlings set, maybe 4 games or so, then just make the entire college football season one big 120 team tournament. There could be dozens of bowl games every weekend.
You're conflating two different things here. The "best team" <> "champ".
I’m glad you took making the list to heart. I’m taking you off for now but you are still on probation. Tread lightly.
Team A was a 21.5 point favorite on the road on a short week.
As a WVU fan I may not much... But I Will always have 70-35.Come on now, that’s not nice. Especially coming from a team that has never beaten the Tigers.
That term is a relic from days gone by when Tommy B roamed the sidelines and Charlie Whitehurst levitated about the sidelines
