Apparently the mods are still fat and happy from Turkey-day, so I'll gladly set-up another open thread for football today. I'm sure they're all glad that we can find ways to entertain ourselves. It's one of the last weekends in college football, which means there are a lot of rivalry games. Which means even if the teams aren't that good, there's always the chance for a brawl. And let's be honest - we'd all get a little excited to see a scene from Bloodsport re-enacted on the field.
The Holy War reaches new levels of HATE!!
Interesting early games on tap:
North Carolina @ N.C. State - 12pm
Clemson @ South Carolina - 12pm
Ole Miss @ Mississippi State - 12:20pm
Okie State @ Oklahoma - 12:30pm
V-Tech @ Virginia - 3:30pm
SWAG U @ South Florida - 3:30pm
"THE CLASH!!!" Florida St. @ Florida - 3:30pm
If other games start becoming interesting, feel free to let us all know. Also, Icers play their first game in this mini NCAA DIII tournament today at 4:30 (vs. Southern New Hampshire). Depending on how things go, I might make a new open thread around that time anyway. And then you'll have to deal with my Icers updates (I'm assuming they're broadcasting the game). Anywho - enjoy more FOOTBAW!

in the first quarter of this OU/OSU game. They expect the game to end around 7pm…

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
Bill Cosby
The announcer for the OU/OSU game
just said the defender made “a nice hit in space” and “sure tackling”. But the receiver he “tackled” broke through this great hit and gained a few more yards.
This is the best description of Nintendo XII defenses I’ve heard to date.

Does it have the new SIGNATURE WIN level ???
Looks like we're facing off against Iowa again.
For the fiesta.
Which we probably won't get
but then again I’ve only heard scared Iowa message boarders talk about how there are a trillion alumni in the Arizona area. I don’t know what the Fiesta will be looking at.
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will-Sam Cooke
Yeah
I don’t know that it’s so clear cut as to say we “probably” won’t get it. When was the last time we were in the Fiesta? Will the bowl believe all our fanbase has favorable memories and wants to go back? Will all the local alumni hurt the consideration because they take care of host cities and want traveling alumni to book hotels and fill restaurants?
Hey, Iowans want to say they have an edge because of the alumni, ok. But do you think we couldn’t sell out the game on our own? Because the only way Iowa is the clear choice over us is if you don’t think we can buy all the tickets, and you think they can. Otherwise, it’s a pretty big tossup I think.

I agree.
This is just the scuttlebutt I’ve been hearing from their fanbase. We’ll be there in just as big of numbers. But I have heard no mention of Fiesta officials at our games and they were on hand to witness Iowa’s spectacular 12-0 game.

Anyone been following the @InsideTheBCS stuff on Twitter?
The guy running this feed, maybe he’s an intern, but he’s not doing so hot. This one was particularly bad. Apparently he’s getting roasted by the community.
It's like a whirlwind of stupid
It’s funny to watch the InsideTheBCS guy try to legitimize itself. But some of the angry comments attacking the BCS are just as mindless. I love that people scream PLAYOFF!! but put no thought or proper reason as to how an effective playoff would be set up.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
yeah
re: all the gravity/world is round comments, the notion that the playoff is objectively or scientifically better because it’s a widely held belief is cracking me up. We’re talking about deciding the CFB national champion. You could say the most accurate method is eliminating all postseason and regular season play and have a 128 team round robin, or have just a 12 game regular season and then pick the champion, none would be objectively wrong.
Boy, people get crazy about this topic.

Hey Yo
This Oklahoma St. game is pretty meaningless for us isn’t it?

depends what you mean.
They’re all pretty meaningless. But, it’s probably the most meaningful regular season game left, as far as we are concerned.

by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 28, 2009 2:47 PM EST up reply actions
Eh
I guess it’s still feasible to think the Fiesta Bowl would stay loyal to the Big XII if Okie State was available. It’s more likely the choice would come down between Iowa, Penn State, and mystery outside teams (TCU, Boise St, other teams now jumping into the top 14).
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
OK
I don’t know, the consensus seems to be that both non-qualifiers are going to make BCS games, which I’m just not convinced of, and if they do, you’re going to have to balance them with a really big name if you’re Orange or Fiesta.
Okie St. vs. Iowa is probably what Fiesta wants right now, but if Okie St. is gone, and their forced to pick a non-qualifier, wouldn’t you want the team playing them to be as potent $$$$ wise as possible?

Haha this is true
It just seems the most appealing to me if I’m them at this moment, but if you’re stuck with Boise, you’ve gotta balance that out somehow right? And if you’re balancing out a non-qualifier, I think Penn State is a safer bet than Iowa.

I'm just posting all of this
so that I’ll have a point of reference later when I forget again. Lets assume that Floribama Winner and Texas are in the MNC as the #1 and #2 teams in that order. So the picking for the bowls goes as follows
Sugar Bowl – replacing #1 team lost to MNC
Fiesta Bowl – replacing #2 team lost to MNC
Orange Bowl – First “at-large” pick
Fiesta Bowl – Second “at-large” pick
Sugar Bowl – Third “at-large” pick
I’m ignoring the Rose Bowl since that will be locked in (OSU vs. Pac-10). Let’s make G-Tech and Cincy their respective conference winners, and thus auto-bids. G-Tech is therefore locked into the Orange Bowl. TCU wins and they’re are guaranteed a BCS bowl bid with Cincy.
Sugar Bowl picks first and will likely pick the Floribama loser – they’ll get at least one good team, since they have the final pick. Fiesta would get the next pick. Again, if Okie State is there, would they go with the Big XII? Or would they go with a team that can get the money in Iowa/Penn State? They have to pick one, and they likely won’t get the other. Why- because the Orange Bowl would pick it up. So in reality, there’s no way the Fiesta would get an Okie State-Iowa match-up. The Fiesta is then picking from the group of TCU/Boise State/Cincy to fill the other spot. And, obviously, the leftovers fall to the Sugar Bowl.
If we’re assuming that both TCU and Boise are getting a bid, then it’s likely to come down to Big Ten reps vs. Okie State. With Okie State out, it increases the chances of Penn State getting picked statistically, but as was just mentioned, who knows what the Fiesta wants.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
I Don't Know...
Would Orange take Okie St. if they came back? I feel like they wouldn’t. I can’t remember the last time Orange took a Big XII team that wasn’t playing for the MNC. Maybe they just haven’t had the chance, I don’t know…but I feel like, if Okie St. were to come back, Fiesta would pick Iowa first, Orange would take TCU, and Fiesta would take Okie St.
But it’s looking like that’s not going to happen…
Meaning the above scenario of Big 10 rep vs. Big East winner/Boise is probably what we’re looking at, which again begs the question of who we’d want to win the Big East…

You really think the Orange
would take the risk on a team that rarely sells out it’s own stadium over a BCS conference team?
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
They're not going to have a choice
At this point, Fiesta is getting the 2nd Big 10 team, and I think that’s pretty much a lock with Okie gone.
Orange is picking from Big East champ/TCU, and Fiesta takes Boise, or whoever Orange doesn’t.

I think we can all but rule Ok St. out at this point
They’re #12 and losing to a 6-5 team is going to put them out of the top 14 with no games left to play. I’m finding it difficult to project who will take their spot in the rankings, maybe Virginia Tech.
USC
I’m just throwing this out there, but it looks like assuming no more losses and an Oregon win in the Civil War, USC may end up eligible for an at-large spot.
I was actually just working on a comment about that
It would be interesting to see if they’d be able to slide into the top 14, and if so, would a bowl game still pick them over a Big Ten team.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Haha o boy
I have a hard time seeing a 3 loss team taken over either Big 10 team tho. I don’t think the BCS has ever taken a 3 loss, and USC hasn’t looked good enough to be the first IMO

How bad is the Nintendo XII this season?
Okie State only lost one in-conference game before today. Seriously, this is a team that would be mid-pack in most other conferences (ACC and Big East included).

Oklahoma now leads Okie State, 20-0

I have a statement:
Ahahahahaha.
They get blown out by any decent compeition. Do we count Oklahoma as “decent”?

So I just switched between
the UM-USF pregame and the UVA-VT pregame, and heard nothing but talk about the coaches. Being both on ESPN channels, I’m left to speculate that:
a) Al Groh is gone at season’s end – the announcer actually all but said this.
b) Jim Leavitt is the only head coach in USF’s history and therefore is ON THE LIST TO BE NOTRE DAME’S NEXT HEAD COACH!!!

Hm...
Here’s what I’m thinking.
Sugar takes Flabama.
Fiesta takes PSU/Iowa
Orange takes Big East/TCU
IF Orange takes Big East champ, Fiesta takes TCU
IF Orange takes TCU, PSU/Iowa plays Boise/Big East champ.
Sugar gets what’s left.
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
If Pitt wins...
PSU/Iowa, TCU, Boise, and Cincy are sharing 4 at-large spots, I would think. I don’t think anyone is a threat from behind.
If I’m the BCS Bowls, this would be my lineup
MNC: Texas vs. Flabama
Rose: OSU vs. Oregon
Orange: Georgia Tech vs. TCU
Fiesta: Pitt vs. PSU/Iowa
Sugar: Flabama vs. Cincinatti
Root hard against Georgia Tech tonight, because if they win this week and lose next week, they’ll throw a wrench into all of this

You think there's any chance Pitt wins next week?
I’m calling Cincy in a laugher, but I’m biased and they have done it before against a team with a great offense and a suspect defense. But it’s going to take an incredible effort and their offense does not score well from behind, and Zach Collaros is no Jarrett Brown if Pike goes down. Maybe this “Chip Kelly to ND is a done deal” rumor will affect Cincy’s team.
I mean
As we saw yesterday, Pitt’s come-from-behind offense when they can’t grind clock with Lewis is essentially “Throw it deep to Baldwin”. If they spot Cincinatti an early 2 TD lead, it could get ugly.
Cincy's defense sucks
and Pitt’s offense can keep up with Cincy’s IMO.
I think Pitt matches up, I think it’s more a question of whether they show up.

I think you missed PSUinBOSSton's comment above
Illinois was most definitely picked as an at-large with a 9-3 record. Sure the circumstances were different, but it’s happened.
Yeah I missed that, he/you're right
I just don’t know how you could justify a 3 loss that got pwned twice, and upset by a crappy Washington team over PSU AND Iowa. USC is a big name, but not THAT big.

Miami, V Tech, USC

I want your opinion because we’ve been sparing on this a lot:
How much do you think a Pitt win next week helps us?
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
I guess I just don't know.
Personally, I don’t think they would pick us based on a possible matchup. But look at PSU vs. Iowa independently. Then again, I’ve never been on a BCS selection committee, so I just don’t know. I think we’re in pretty good shape, and if you really feel like a Pitt win helps, I am all for Pitt winning.
by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 28, 2009 5:20 PM EST up reply actions

I feel like Pitt in the picture gives us one hell of a compelling reason to get picked over Iowa. Who are Iowa’s prospective opponents? Boise, and Pitt/Cincy.

I guess I just see things as more of a package than you do. The Fiesta Bowl is getting screwed with their 2nd choice either way, and if I’m them, I’m not just looking at Penn State and Iowa independently, but also which can help me get the most out of the crap teams I’m playing. If I’m ranking their potential matchups:
- Pitt vs. Penn State
T-#2 Iowa/PSU vs. Boise
T-#4 PSU/Iowa vs. Cincinatti - Pitt vs. Iowa
If PSU=Iowa at the moment, you’ve gotta think Pitt puts us over the top don’t you?

I’m referring to the overall angst on that board. I’ve been following it most of the season and the majority of them feel trapped. Of course, the “kind of” in my original remarks is a function of the fact that most of these same folks were willing to accept this guy’s practices uncritically when they were a top five team yearly.

The NCAA just has a list of “major” media outlet polls and declared champions. Most years have multiple “champions” but I can’t find a real copy of it. Best way to find it is to go to wikipedia and look up Pitt and their national championships and it explains how many times they have been co-champions nationally and how many they actually claim, etc.

PSUinBOSSton
think the regional appeal sacrifices any national interest. People in PA are going to watch either of these teams, you don’t bring in any other geographic area. Also, I think the cap one bowl gives us more reward. Beating lsu or ole miss is more valuable than pitt. If it comes down to that, I hope Iowa gets the bid.
What “geographic region” is Boise pulling in? Idaho? Montana? MAYBE Washington State and Oregon (pushing it)?
And what about Cincinatti? What exactly are they bringing to the table? We already know they can’t draw a crowd after what happened last year, there’s no reason to think this year will be any different.
Of the three prospective opponents in the Fiesta Bowl, Pitt is far and away the most marketable, ESPECIALLY if they’re playing Penn State. The people that’d watch PSU-PItt would probably eclipse the Iowa/Cincy, Iowa/Boise, or Iowa/Pitt matchups combined.
You’re argument makes sense, but doesn’t hold water in this specific scenario. Pitt is the team in the biggest market available with the biggest following, a following that will be energized to play it’s biggest rival for the first time in close to 10 years.
And the Cap One payout isn’t remotely close to the BCS payout, so let’s not kid ourselves here. Maybe you’d enjoy beating an SEC team more, but $$$$ and recruiting wise, Cap One doesn’t offer nearly the opportunities Fiesta does.

First, I think you are way overestimating the Pitt following.
Second, the cap one payout is zero value over the bcs payout, so long as both are b10 teams. We share both payouts equally.
Cap one is more advantageous than BCS against Pitt because the opponent garners more national respect, and more national viewers than Pitt ever could.
Look, you like Pitt. That’s fine. We don’t agree on this. That’s ok too. I do not believe that Pitt being available makes it any more likely that we make a BCS game. We are appealing for our own independent reasons. But it doesn’t matter to me even if I’m wrong because it would automatically put us in a game that I believe to be less marketable and have less reward than the cap one.

Iowa
via Rittenberg
With Oklahoma State essentially eliminated, the Big Ten is in excellent shape to send two teams to BCS bowls for the fifth consecutive year. Either Iowa or Penn State will be the lucky recipient, and the Hawkeyes seem positioned very well for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
Penn State needs something that’s going to turn that around, and Pitt’s our last best chance.
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
well to be fair
Rittenburg is a huge pro-Iowa-BCS-bid guy, so obviously he sees it that way.
I’m not saying hes wrong, but at this point it’s anyone’s guess — I doubt he has inside information.
"We hugged as grown men do. It was a great moment. Then, it was business as usual." -- LJ Sr.
so wait
If Pitt wins, Cinci steals a bid from Iowa so we’re MORE likely to get an Orange bid if Pitt wins? That sounds crazy.

To be fair
There is something different between traveling to Pittsburgh for a regular season game, and traveling to Arizona for a BCS bowl with a national spotlight. Iowa will sell out that place.
The toss-up will be between will Pitt fans travel any better because of a match-up with Penn State, and what is the difference in TV market share for the two possible match-ups?
Again, this is all under the prediction that Pitt beats Cincy next week.

Is there any explanation
how the Illini scheduled 2 OOC games after the rest of the conference was done with their season? I figure Wiscy’s trip to Hawaii was a scheduling issue to get the Rainbows Warriors on the schedule, but the Illini played Cincy this past week, and have a game against Fresno State this coming Saturday.
