Yes, this was the Small One, the battle of the beatens, the movable object meeting the resistible force. There were only tomorrows. When these two teams get together, nothing can happen. This game was for a marble.

Alabama wont make it past Florida in the SEC championship game. Texas Tech will lose to OK State or Oklahoma. maybe both
if Oklahoma actually had any defense at all, they'd be a superb team.

1. Washington 0-11
"Knockin' On Heaven's Door:" The Huskies are knock-knock-knockin' on the door to Bottom 10 immortality. With one more loss, they will complete a perfect winless season.
2. Southern Methodist 1-10
"Use Your Illusion I:" If June Jones closes his eyes and tries real hard, maybe he can convince himself he's back in Hawaii soaking in the sun.
3. North Texas 1-10
"Use Your Illusion II:" If Todd Dodge closes his eyes and tries real hard, maybe he can convince himself he's back at Southlake Carroll soaking in the run to another title.
4. Western Kentucky 2-9
"You Ain't The First:" The Hilltoppers aren't the first independent to make the Bottom 10. Nor are they the last. Need proof? See below.
5. Notre Dame 6-5
"November Rain:" It's been raining losses for the Irish in November. If their 1-3 record this month isn't bad enough, a shower of snowballs directed at them from their own student section during the Syracuse loss made it worse.
6. Iowa State 2-10
"Welcome To The Jungle:" We're not sure how the Cyclones have escaped the Bottom 10's attention this long. But those 10 straight losses make them a welcome addition.
7. Tulane 2-9
"Breakdown:" Since a two-game winning streak in September, the Green Wave experienced a breakdown, losing seven straight games.
8. Eastern Michigan 2-9
"Paradise City:" Not sure if Ypsilanti could be considered a paradise city or not, but the Eagles have struggled there and on the road.
9. Miami (Ohio) 2-9
"There Was A Time:" The RedHawks used to be good. Remember when Ben Roethlisberger took them to the MAC title in 2003?
10. Michigan 3-9
"Appetite For Destruction:" The Wolverines set some records only the Bottom 10 could love: most losses ever in a season, a fifth straight loss to Ohio State and the largest loss to the Buckeyes in 40 years.

The students weren't really throwing at their own team. But, like the team, the can't hit what they're throwing at either.5. Notre Dame 6-5

Alabama loses to Auburn by 3 points or less in the final seconds.
Bama destroys Florida in the SEC championship.
OU blows out OSU .
Texas handily beats Texas A@M.
Oregon State beats Oregon for the Pac 10 championship and a trip the the Rose Bowl.
Does this pit OU vs Texas for the championship?

Alabama wont beat Florida. .. i guess if 75% of the starters on the florida team suddenly took sick.. then they might have a chance.
It'll be Florida vs Big 12 champ.
Dizik wrote:So what are your thoughts on the Big 12 and the three-way tie between Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech? Personally, and yes I am an OU fan, I think that OU deserves the game vs. Missouri.
First of all: Yes, I am aware that Texas beat OU 45-35 on "neutral ground". The game is in Texas, there's no way that can be considered neutral. Yes, I know it's roughly the same driving distance between the two campuses, but it's still in Texas. If the game was held in New Mexico, Arkansas, etc., then I would be fine with Texas getting the nod.
Secondly, we beat Texas Tech 65-21. That's the same Texas Tech that beat Texas 39-33, so that should rule out the "head-to-head" advantage Texas might have when it comes to the BCS scoring.
Thirdly, Texas' last game was against A&M (an un-seeded team) at home. Was anybody surprised that Texas won? And what about Texas Tech? They barely won against Baylor (aka the doormat of the Big 12, and un-seeded) at home. Oklahoma on the other hand, beat Oklahoma State (ranked #12 by the BCS) 61-41 at Oklahoma State.
Can somebody point out what I'm missing as to why anybody but Oklahoma should be playing in the Big 12 championship? Seriously, I can't come up with anything.

actually.. it could still happen.
Humans will likely vote OK 1, Florida 2, Texas 3.
Computers may have Texas 2 still..
I'd actually kinda enjoy that happening simply because it will cause another uproar.
a playoff is what we need.
Oklahoma vs Florida will be interesting. I still wonder if Texas isnt the better team, but OK has definitely improved since their loss.. they can now run the ball and their defense is a little better.

The rest of the games are nothing to be excited about. How on earth Ohio State deserves to play Texas this year is beyond me. Every year I become less of a fan of College Football.
