On January 10, 2012, Alabama will claim its 14th of a $75,000 piece of jewelry. This isn't just a BCS title game for us. It's our time to prove that we ARE the best team in the nation, and that the fluke in November was just that...a fluke. Look out LSU. You SQUEAKED by the state of Alabama in November. We are going to EMBARASS the state of Louisiana in January
LSU play WVU week 4 they are not going to play a rematch in the sugar bowl. this is ofcourse irrelevant since LSU will kick the shit out of Bama and play for a national title, winning just as they have the last 2 times the game was played in New Orleans.
I realize the LSU WVU game is a rematch. But bowl games due pair up rematches from time to time. My thought was that if LSU gets the AT-Large bid from the SEC and WVU gets chosen by the Sugar Bowl last since the Sugar Bowl hosts the National Title, but yes you're right it is irrelevant if they beat Bama and go undefeated
if you look at mizzou, we got a Dual Threat Quarterback taking over gabbert's position, we got one of the best place kickers in the league, a massive running AND passing game, and to top it all off, the best fan base in the nation!
True, but it makes it interested to see how close you actually got. Thats why preseason rankings really have no reflection on how good a team really is
@ncgriffin3557 I thought Boise might lose one game this year which would put them out of the BCS and in one of the bowl games i did not include in this video
wow it is a shocker especially since i made these predictions 3 months ago before any polls were out. So if you're implying i copied the current rankings, you could not be more wrong. I had Bama and OU ranked 1 and 2 in my own poll i posted 4 months ago
@207rec obviously you don't know what your talking about.this guy knows his stuff and you shouldn't doubt him.why not notre dame in a bcs bowl?brian kelly in first season went 7-6.think about what they can do this year!!michael floyd is the best up-top receiver in the game and dayne crist has pin-point accuracy.cierre wood as a sophomore rushed for over 1000 yards!!!they also have zeke motta,manti teo, and tyler harrisson on defense so i can definately see them in a bcs bowl you freaking tool
How is this reading from a mag? Because they are reasonable, logical predictions. What do u want to see, Clemson vs. WVU in the BCS or Wash St vs. Indiana in the Rose Bowl? I think it's u that is one of those "fans" that just read article then just repeat the main points to make yourself fell good about knowing something. So keep your negativity to yourself
I dont think something can be inaccurate if it hasn't happened yet, especially when it comes to predictions. And if you had read the description I stated that I left OSU out because of potential NCAA sanctions keeping them out of a bowl game. It doesn't look like that will happen now but at the time it seemed severe enough to happen. So dont go putting words in my mouth
A) Thomas passed for nearly 2900 yards and had 30 TD's. So winning it more with his arm? Not necessarily.
B) Pass game relies on the run? False. Evidence: See BCS title game. Oregon ran for 75 yards but passed for 374. Though, Oregon's run game works regardless of how the passing game is.
C) As for the very last part: No shit. We're not going to win with smoke and mirrors.
Listen "Duckman", as far as the RB situation goes, all three top RBs are great, LMJ, TR3, and Lattimore. And i wouldnt consider Richardson a backup as much as he was splitting time with a Heisman RB at Bama and many people who follow all of CFB not just one team would know that he was better than Ingram. Why do people constantly just look at stats and not the actual player. I guess Cam Newton was a better QB than Luck since he won the heisman huh?
@MrFootballfreak15 Cam Newton was the main reason Auburn won it all hence he won the Heisman. You don't win the Heisman for being the best Pro Prospect. Most awards are based on stats. Not to mention Cam Newton rushed for 1473 yards, threw for 2854 and had 50 total TD's.
As for why people look at stats: Because it shows what they did on the field. LMJ was the best RB in the country for what he did on the field. Plus, it's not like T.R. where he'll have 1 great season. LMJ will have had 3.
So I gues Greg Salas was the top WR cuz he produced the most stats, better than Blackmon, Green, Jones, Broyles, Floyd, It wasn't the system, he was just better right? LMJ comes from a completely different system than Lattimore or TR3. so comparing their stats is a little uneven, they do completely different things for their teams. And Newton won the Heisman before he won the NAtional Championship bro, so thats not why he won the Heisman.
@MrFootballfreak15 Greg Salas wouldn't be the top WR. Based on yards, yes. Based on TD's, no. LMJ on the other hand had the most yards and most TD's out of any returning running back in College Football. Hence he's # 1 until proven otherwise.
As for Newton winning the Heisman before the title game: No shit. He won it based on his overall performance in the close games they had and gaudy numbers he put up.
Dont tell me about Newton, Im the one that pointed it out to u, You're the one that said he won the Heisman because he carried his team to a National Title u dumbass. U dont even know what ur saying. I can tell your a one of those simple minded "fans" who only look at stats cuz logical football talk is well beyond u, u keep going back to stats, you say Salas was the best WR in terms of yards, yes according to stats and any 5 year old can look at numbers and see which is higher.
I know stats are the main thing when it comes to giving awards, but it doesnt make up the entire player, LMJ wouldnt have put up those stats had he played for USC or against the SEC each week
@MrFootballfreak15 If's mean nothing. If Cliff Harris's INT gets called correctly, Auburn doesn't score. If Michael Dyer is considered down, Auburn can't kill the clock and kick the game winning field goal. You can't make up an IF when determining whose better. You go off of what is already there. So what if LMJ wouldn't have 1700 playing for USC or against the SEC teams. He doesn't play for or against them every week.
I'm trying to say that just because LMJ had more stats doesnt automatically make him the better player. U have to look at the overall player, their attributes, the system, how did they get those stats. Im not saying TR3 is way better than LMJ i just feel is a little better of an overall player. Remember he split time with a Heisman trophy winning RB and still became a household name and recognized as one of the best overall players in the nation.
Speculation is a part of CFB, just like the talks about Kellen Moore and if he were Luck's size he would be considered a top 15 NFL pick, its part of what makes CFB interesting. LMJ has a good backup in Barner, but LMJ had already established himself as the guy in Oregon whereas TR3 had to play behind Ingram but still out-shined him. Like I said stats is a part of the game, but not the only measure of a player, keep that in mind and watch some tape on Lattimore and TR3 with a "scouts" eye
And for Thomas winning with his arm I meant the success of the passing attack often fed off the success of the running game. We all know about their run attack like a lot of the spread attacks, BCS game was obviously the exception. And the last part was a statement made on EVERY team, not just Oregon. It is what the team does, needs to do, or keep doing to win u asshole
@MrFootballfreak15 Drawing a correlation between the success of the running game to the passing game is unfounded. As for calling me an asshole: Thanks for the compliment.
How is it infounded? obviously u dont watch enough football. It is said all the time about certain teams that "if you stop the run, you can contain the pass or the pass feeds off the run" the success of one produces the other. Often times if u can stop a teams primary attack, u bottle up the entire offense, but if one is successful, it usually helps the other be successful too.
@MrFootballfreak15 Because Oregon doesn't need to pass for a ton of yards for the run game to work. For example against Arizona, Oregon ran for 389 yards. They only passed for 148 yards. Vs Oregon State they ran for 346 but passed for 145. My point being the passing game can be average & the run game can still work because there's multiple options that can be done:
- Hand off to James
- Hand off /Pitch to Barner
- Pitch to Huff/DAT
All that needs to happen is for the Oline and receivers to block
And my point is that in the case that a team can bottle up the run, like against Cal, a game they squeaked by, and Auburn, a game they lost because they were taken out of their element and forced to pass. Thats what im trying to say, that if they want to beat LSU, win the Pac 12, win a National Title, the pass will need to be balanced with the run. Teams just may figure out how to stop that read option attack
I understand that, but if its a close game decided in the last seconds and WVU wins the Big East and LSU comes in second out of a tough SEC West, Im sure it could happen. I see the Speed of WVU keeping up with LSU's and the game is in WVU
FSU will go undefeated and so will Virginia Tech. And they will matchup in the ACC title I see FSU beating Oklahoma but they wont get passed Tech in the ACC title game in Charlotte NC. Way to many Hokies Fans there for them to come out on top and that leaves a 13-0 Virginia Tech team can they get in to the NC Game and FSU will play in the Orange Bowl? I think both of these teams will get into a BCS Bowl this year.
No, not necessarily. Last year was Ohio State vs. Arkansas. Thats Big Ten v SEC, Two BCS conferences. The Big East doesnt really have a tie-in bowl game, last year the Big East played in the Fiesta Bowl. I gave a long explanation on why i have WVU v LSU in a rematch below
I actually had 'Bama vs. FSU in the title game in Feb. and I think with OU having to play FSU, and losing Travis Lewis, they won't make the title game. I had FSU beating them anyway, honestly.
haha thats funny arkansas being in the capitol one bowl. just because we dont have mallett doesnt mean shit. well still get a higher bowl than that. im going far enough to say that arkansas gets another BCS game.
@2TweetTweet Uh, Lattimore didn't have good enough offensive lineman in the blocking for him, and Richardson didn't excel over Ingram, numbers are enough, but also nobody focused on Richardson like they did Lattimore.
Actually alot of people would say that Richardson was a better RB than Ingram. If you have two all star RBs, you're going to play them both. And Richardson was the focal point whenever he was in. Teams have to focus on any elite back when they are in. You can say Alabama has Julio Jones, but USC also has Alshon Jeffery
@asoster794 Why wouldnt you focus on lattimore he is all south carolina has? Everyone knows its either him with the ball or a pass to jefferys . And you cant say people didnt focus on richardson... Stopping the rush was everyones focus last year against alabama? watch some post game press conferences from the coaches Alabama faced... it either said we did a good job, or poor job of stoppin the rush WHICH WAS OR GOAL COMING IN.
@asoster794 Richardson is better this year but lattimore will have a greater career. I'm callin a heisman for him some time and maybe SC in the nattty.
Alabama schedule is so ridiculous I can honestly say from a person who knows a lot about football if they lost a game they still deserve the title game.
I totally agree. the SEC is by far the toughest Conference, the West division alone is killer. A one loss SEC team has as much right or more than an undefeated from any other conference
Let me explain the LSU v. WVU rematch. Since the Sugar bowl is hosting the Title game, they will have last choice on the team to play in their bowl game out of the 4 BCS bowls. the Big East is the weakest conference, so the winner may get chosen last to play in the BCS. This is how the system works.
They don't have to of played in the Big Ten to have the best defense. It would be like comparing Alabama's D to USC's D. Alabama clearly has the best defense, and if they did play in the Pac-12 they would clearly have the best defense heading into that conference
@silverblade43 If LSU gets the At-Large bid out of the SEC to play in the Sugar Bowl and WVU wins the Big East, then yes. Since the Sugar Bowl hosts the BCS CHampionship this year, they will have the last choice on what team plays in the Sugar Bowl. Since the Big East is the weakest conference this could be a rematch. There have been rematches in bowl games before
nah they would do what it took not to have a rematch. big east isnt signed to any specific bowl so i garuntee that a rematch in a bowl game wont happen
so your saying there are never any rematches in bowl games? there was one last year, one the year before, and a few years ago there was the possibility of Ohio State & Michigan having a rematch for the National Title. So yes, it is a possibility
I worked for the Fiesta Bowl Committe last season for both the National Title and the Fiesta Bowl itself. Since we hosted the Title game with Auburn and Oregon (the top overall bowl game). the Fiesta Bowl landed Oklahoma (the Big XII Champ with Fiesta ties) and the Big East Champ. We all knew UConn was coming here since they won the Big East and no other BCS Bowl want the Big East Representing them. Fiesta got stuck with the last team in because of hosting the Title game
ok but what if was a actual better team. there was a 3 way tie in the big east and if it was my choice (wvu fan at heart) and if it was this easy i wouldnt of gave it to the big east. but what if west virginia had a 10-2 or 11-1 season next year? bowls are going to wwant to host it. it was just a bad big east conference last year. hopefully this year is better
I agree if WVU has a 10 or 11 win season they will likely play in the Orange Bowl. I have WVU #24 in my top 25. I think they will improve and win the Big East easily, but u never know in that conference if they lose close games to Pitt, Syracuse, or Louisville plus non-con games vs LSU and Maryland. If they go 8-4 coming out of the Big East and win the conference, they could be selected last. So i'm just not expecting a 10-11 win season from WVU, thats all
nah i think were gonna get off to a good start. i think were going to get that early win against lsu. if we win that one im sure we would have enough confidence to get us through. were going to have a great team. we got dan in and stew out so were expecting great things. were going to have a tough offense. if we lose any i think it would be a upset against maybe pitt and maybe usf. other than them two im sure were going to have a great season
If they beat LSU at home that will set the tone. The offense is expected to do great in the new Trey system. Geno Smith should blossom in that system. It could be the opposite of '10. Instead of a great D and subpar offense, they could have a high scoring offense and soft defense, but thats good enough to win the Big East these days
Oklahoma is not going to the BCS game with losses to FSU and Texas. Oregon is gonna lose to USC and LSU. FSU VS OU is the revenge game, and we know how OU plays away from home. If OU plays all their games in Norman, they would win them, and have the chance to go to the BCS game where they always lose under Stoops.
Boise State is good but they never play a good team if you put them up against a strong team like Alabama or Oklahoma Boise State would get beat by 2 touchdowns
Im a big oregon fan but i agree that Richardson is better... Hes huge for an RB haha at least it seems so. However, James has a little more speed and agility. Whereas Richardson is bigger, fast (but ot faster than james), and equally as agile... The both fit the offense they are in. Bama has a "Run it down your throat until you stop us" offense which is good for an rb like Richardson. While Oregon has a speedy and fast paced offense which fits james's abilities. They are both outstanding RB's.
Like I said, ND's Offense can score with and on anyone. It's always been their defense, but if that unit plays like they ended the season, they will play in a BCS if they finish in the top 14. And James is a great back, but more of a system RB whereas Richardson is more of a traditional, NFL style RB. You can make an argument for James as the best, but "far and away"
Notre Dame won't make it to a BCS bowl game until at least 2015. They get WAY too much love because of how good they used to be. Oh, and LaMichael James is far and away the best college running back in the nation.
The LSU vs WVU prediction is based on LSU getting the at large bid to the Sugar Bowl like every SEC team and WVU winning the Big East. Since the Sugar Bowl hosts the National Title, they will get last choice on the team to play in there game. The Big East winners will likely get selected last considering how weak the conference is.
These are not All the Bowl games, just a few. Unless they make it to a BCS game (which I don't think they will) it will probably be a low caliber bowl game
OK vs. Us?

And my point is that in the case that a team can bottle up the run, like against Cal, a game they squeaked by, and Auburn, a game they lost because they were taken out of their element and forced to pass. Thats what im trying to say, that if they want to beat LSU, win the Pac 12, win a National Title, the pass will need to be balanced with the run. Teams just may figure out how to stop that read option attack

Weird how you can go from backup to best RB in the nation when the guy who won the award which was "The Best RB in the nation" is still around.
As for your write up on Oregon. False.

I understand that, but if its a close game decided in the last seconds and WVU wins the Big East and LSU comes in second out of a tough SEC West, Im sure it could happen. I see the Speed of WVU keeping up with LSU's and the game is in WVU

FSU will go undefeated and so will Virginia Tech. And they will matchup in the ACC title I see FSU beating Oklahoma but they wont get passed Tech in the ACC title game in Charlotte NC. Way to many Hokies Fans there for them to come out on top and that leaves a 13-0 Virginia Tech team can they get in to the NC Game and FSU will play in the Orange Bowl? I think both of these teams will get into a BCS Bowl this year.

No, not necessarily. Last year was Ohio State vs. Arkansas. Thats Big Ten v SEC, Two BCS conferences. The Big East doesnt really have a tie-in bowl game, last year the Big East played in the Fiesta Bowl. I gave a long explanation on why i have WVU v LSU in a rematch below

@2TweetTweet Uh, Lattimore didn't have good enough offensive lineman in the blocking for him, and Richardson didn't excel over Ingram, numbers are enough, but also nobody focused on Richardson like they did Lattimore.
asoster794 6 months ago
@asoster794
Actually alot of people would say that Richardson was a better RB than Ingram. If you have two all star RBs, you're going to play them both. And Richardson was the focal point whenever he was in. Teams have to focus on any elite back when they are in. You can say Alabama has Julio Jones, but USC also has Alshon Jeffery
MrFootballfreak15 6 months ago
@asoster794 Why wouldnt you focus on lattimore he is all south carolina has? Everyone knows its either him with the ball or a pass to jefferys . And you cant say people didnt focus on richardson... Stopping the rush was everyones focus last year against alabama? watch some post game press conferences from the coaches Alabama faced... it either said we did a good job, or poor job of stoppin the rush WHICH WAS OR GOAL COMING IN.

@asoster794 Richardson is better this year but lattimore will have a greater career. I'm callin a heisman for him some time and maybe SC in the nattty.

MrFootballfreak15 7 months ago
Let me explain the LSU v. WVU rematch. Since the Sugar bowl is hosting the Title game, they will have last choice on the team to play in their bowl game out of the 4 BCS bowls. the Big East is the weakest conference, so the winner may get chosen last to play in the BCS. This is how the system works.

@UNCTarheels987654321
They don't have to of played in the Big Ten to have the best defense. It would be like comparing Alabama's D to USC's D. Alabama clearly has the best defense, and if they did play in the Pac-12 they would clearly have the best defense heading into that conference

silverblade43 7 months ago
@silverblade43 If LSU gets the At-Large bid out of the SEC to play in the Sugar Bowl and WVU wins the Big East, then yes. Since the Sugar Bowl hosts the BCS CHampionship this year, they will have the last choice on what team plays in the Sugar Bowl. Since the Big East is the weakest conference this could be a rematch. There have been rematches in bowl games before
MrFootballfreak15 7 months ago

nah they would do what it took not to have a rematch. big east isnt signed to any specific bowl so i garuntee that a rematch in a bowl game wont happen

I worked for the Fiesta Bowl Committe last season for both the National Title and the Fiesta Bowl itself. Since we hosted the Title game with Auburn and Oregon (the top overall bowl game). the Fiesta Bowl landed Oklahoma (the Big XII Champ with Fiesta ties) and the Big East Champ. We all knew UConn was coming here since they won the Big East and no other BCS Bowl want the Big East Representing them. Fiesta got stuck with the last team in because of hosting the Title game
MrFootballfreak15 7 months ago
@MrFootballfreak15
ok but what if was a actual better team. there was a 3 way tie in the big east and if it was my choice (wvu fan at heart) and if it was this easy i wouldnt of gave it to the big east. but what if west virginia had a 10-2 or 11-1 season next year? bowls are going to wwant to host it. it was just a bad big east conference last year. hopefully this year is better
WatchYoGurl 7 months ago
@WatchYoGurl
I agree if WVU has a 10 or 11 win season they will likely play in the Orange Bowl. I have WVU #24 in my top 25. I think they will improve and win the Big East easily, but u never know in that conference if they lose close games to Pitt, Syracuse, or Louisville plus non-con games vs LSU and Maryland. If they go 8-4 coming out of the Big East and win the conference, they could be selected last. So i'm just not expecting a 10-11 win season from WVU, thats all
MrFootballfreak15 7 months ago
@MrFootballfreak15
nah i think were gonna get off to a good start. i think were going to get that early win against lsu. if we win that one im sure we would have enough confidence to get us through. were going to have a great team. we got dan in and stew out so were expecting great things. were going to have a tough offense. if we lose any i think it would be a upset against maybe pitt and maybe usf. other than them two im sure were going to have a great season
WatchYoGurl 7 months ago
@WatchYoGurl
If they beat LSU at home that will set the tone. The offense is expected to do great in the new Trey system. Geno Smith should blossom in that system. It could be the opposite of '10. Instead of a great D and subpar offense, they could have a high scoring offense and soft defense, but thats good enough to win the Big East these days

Oklahoma is not going to the BCS game with losses to FSU and Texas. Oregon is gonna lose to USC and LSU. FSU VS OU is the revenge game, and we know how OU plays away from home. If OU plays all their games in Norman, they would win them, and have the chance to go to the BCS game where they always lose under Stoops.

Im a big oregon fan but i agree that Richardson is better... Hes huge for an RB haha at least it seems so. However, James has a little more speed and agility. Whereas Richardson is bigger, fast (but ot faster than james), and equally as agile... The both fit the offense they are in. Bama has a "Run it down your throat until you stop us" offense which is good for an rb like Richardson. While Oregon has a speedy and fast paced offense which fits james's abilities. They are both outstanding RB's.
ADTRProtege 7 months ago
@ ColbyFoote.
Like I said, ND's Offense can score with and on anyone. It's always been their defense, but if that unit plays like they ended the season, they will play in a BCS if they finish in the top 14. And James is a great back, but more of a system RB whereas Richardson is more of a traditional, NFL style RB. You can make an argument for James as the best, but "far and away"
MrFootballfreak15 8 months ago
Notre Dame won't make it to a BCS bowl game until at least 2015. They get WAY too much love because of how good they used to be. Oh, and LaMichael James is far and away the best college running back in the nation.

@ColbyFoote actual trent richardson is. why? he plays in the toughest conference in the league right now. so no lamichael isnt the best.

The LSU vs WVU prediction is based on LSU getting the at large bid to the Sugar Bowl like every SEC team and WVU winning the Big East. Since the Sugar Bowl hosts the National Title, they will get last choice on the team to play in there game. The Big East winners will likely get selected last considering how weak the conference is.
