The Noles and Buckeyes are part of the cartel known as the BCS. They took part in designing this cockamamie system. F them.

"That's easy. OSU struggled in several games, and struggled with some average teams. FSU beat the hell out of everyone."


What's negative about that statement? It's factual. OSU struggled with several average teams. How is this negative?

In 12 games, FSU never trailed at the half and only one team stayed close with them through part of the third quarter - BC (6-6) . FSU led 24-17 at the half, won 48-34

In 12 games, OSU trailed Northwestern (5-7) in the 4th quarter. OSU won 40-30. OSU was tied with Iowa (8-4) at the end of the 3rd and OSU won 34-24. Wisky (9-3) pulled to within 7 in the 4th against OSU, and OSU won 31-24. Michigan (7-5) played OSU even until the last few seconds and lost 42-41 on a failed two point try.

FSU's case rests too much on the old "margin of victory" and "eyeball" tests, and as most smart football analysts know, unless you are comparing two teams that played the same schedule, those factors are meaningless.

Ridiculous. What do you think the committee next year will be doing? EYE TEST

If you're an ECU fan you should be grateful for the BCS.

That's silly. The BCS system created a caste system that has harmed ECU and other "outsiders" since the mid-90's when it was called the bowl alliance. It slapped a label on programs that weren't in one of the major conferences, making recruiting much more difficult.

Everyone is acting like Auburn played Alabama ten times. They lost to a mediocre LSU team and the rest of their schedule outside of Bama wasn't exactly a murderer's row. WOOO but they beat Tennessee and Georgia, Pawwwwwwl!

Not at all meaningless. Just not the only thing. However, real football analysis also favors FSU strongly over OSU.I refer back to Football Outsiders, one of the best football analysts out there.

Like every other division in college football has now. FCS playoffs are going to be exciting this year with NDST, EIU, Eastern Washington and Sam Houston
