I ran the numbers to see what the BCS standings would look like if released today. Peter Wolfe is the lone holdout on his ratings this year, so I went with the five computers that have published their ratings.
As you can see, we have the hardest schedule of all the real contenders.
There’s more great BCS content at Atomic Teeth.

Rodgers-Cromartie is still on the Cardinals. He didn’t leave.

What happens when a stoppable force meets a movable object?
We’ll find out on March 18th. Meet Wake Forest.
This game will be watching drunks trying to brawl. Neither belligerent will land a punch, and it will be viewed by both fanbases with equal measures of horror, embarassment, and amusement.

Some one sent this quote from the Dallas Mornong News to me.
“I’ve had teams in the past that were just where we are right now mentally. And we got it turned around. I had a team in the exact same situation, and we ended up going to the Sweet 16 and ended up losing

He really screwed himself. We probably would have won two more games with him. He was more worried about the “devil’s lettuce” than developing into a solid back. Pathetic.

dick, thanks for the heads up on the east bracket. In my haste to get the post up I had a brain cramp on the bracket.
As for KU, when you compare their bracket to Syracuse you have to scratch your head. Even Self mentioned as much.
Scooby, you’re probably right about the 8/9.

I have been thinking that the team quit on Barnes some time during the last 14-15 games.
My brother in Michigan thought the the team fell apart after the 11-12th game of the season I think that it was atm @CC game.
I wonder if Barnes has health issues, he just looks bad on TV and

Marquette line really surprises me. I like Washington and normally I would be impressed with a conference tourney winner but that falls under the Pac 10 sucks rule to me. I would have liked to see Washington lined up against a different 6 seed.

Call me crazy but I would prefer to face OSU over any of the other three 2 seeds. They basically lost to Michigan (who truly sucks) on Friday, played Illinois even yesterday and beat an exhausted Minnesota team today. They aren’t exactly on fire. As for the other #2’s, I have no interest in playing

Good discussion. The perception of Clausen is interesting. He might surprise you. Tate is a player that will contribute wherever he ends up. He’s serious.

Utah State can really shoot it. They’re the top 3 point shooting team in America. But they struggle against quicker athletes and can be banged inside. the big 12 isn’t getting a lot of credit so the line is short, imo

Is it just me or is Damo sounding a lot like Ricky?
Are they just providing some giggles for the rest of the teams? Or do they think this shit will fly even with the blue hairs ?
Will rick ever live down the quotes that will be recorded in Scipio vast mental vaults

I posted my picks, but as you stated Richmond looks like easy money.
I think Purdue is a shell and Siena is experienced, athletic and talented. Saints roll.
I’m fading Gonzaga and St Mary’s. Zero athletes on those clubs.
I”m also fading Michigan State with NMSU. They’ll be able to get shots against

I like UTEP and Wake to add to Trips bets, which I support fully.
Richmond = 4 units
Siena = 3 units

First, Duke is playing Nova in the Elite 8, not WVU. I still don’t like Duke to cut down the nets in Houston (they do that for reaching FF right?)
Second, I keep hearing the pundits say the same thing about the Midwest but I don’t see it. UNLV isn’t better than any of

Well… it’s not going to be easy.
First off, let me get this straight. As the committee says, they seed based on an S-Curve. So by that logic, this is how they see the top 16…
1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Duke
4. Syracuse
5. Kansas State
6. Villanova
7. West Virginia
8. Ohio State
9. Georgetown
10. New Mexico
11. Baylor

No problem. I do futures all the time so I have obsessed over that decision many times. Letting $100 25-1 odds ride as long as you can is much more intense.
We need to get some more betting previews going here for the tourney. We can link to marchtomarch.com or whatever.

You guys got absloutely screwed. Toughest bracket by far. Even Lehigh is the toughest 16 seed. The committee did you zero favors.
Here are my thoughts if you’re interested.

Mike Iupati will get taken by the Cowboys if he’s on the board. I wouldn’t hate a Golden Tate pick, but we have much bigger needs along the OL and secondary rather than getting another WR. We already have a ton of money tied up in the position (when we pay Austin).

We earned a 7 seed and will face Georgia Tech in Milwaukee on Thursday. If we survive that we face Ohio State in the second round. Shoot well and we can make the sweet 16. I’m relieved that Lunardi missed on his 8 seed projection for us. I’m much less worried about Ohio State than

You have to feel for JS. You just know that seeing Florida unranked, and Northwestern in the top 15, is eating his brain.

Actually, it probably makes him chuckle because he told the BCS how dumb their “no margin of victory” mandate was. Florida is #6 in what he considers his true ratings and Northwestern is #34.

OUR projected SOS of #9 is something to be reckoned with. Even with a loss, if we rebound and win out including big XII champ game. No one else will be near us in the comps (other 1-loss teams that is)
And i don’t think the projection includes a big Xii champ game, does it?

Scip- are you saying we need Bama/PSU losses if we also lose, or do you worry we could get passed even if we win out? If the latter, I just don’t see us being undefeated and not getting in the championship game.
Scipio Tex said:
October 13th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
No one can pass us if we win out.
However, we must beat 4 top 10 teams to win out (including Big 12 title game).
I think we can play for the MNC with one loss if we everyone in the country from a real conference has a loss as well. It just can’t be in the Big 12 title game. That pisses human pollsters off and they’ll penalize us.
I’m not sure what a 12-0 BYU or Utah looks like vis a vis a one loss major.
LonghornScott said:

I think he’s saying that if there are a group of 1-loss teams (us included) that we’d be a clear choice as one of the two best. If one of those two remains unbeaten then it could throw a monkey wrench in the mix.
If we win out it’s clear we’ll be ranked number one.
