ESPN's Forde quote

[tbone52]

4. Ohio State at USC is the nonconference game of the year. And if the Buckeyes win it on Sept. 13, they'll be eight flimsy Big Ten games from another berth in the national championship game. Wouldn't that be special? &nbsp\\; Here we go again. &nbsp\\; Sportswriters mantra "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." &nbsp\\; Give us some competition.

For the past 3 years we've heard nothing but the dominance of Ohio State and USC.... and what has happened consistently? They've lost to teams they should of beaten, so have other teams in their conference, and they've lost in the NC. Its over. The only reason they keep getting mentioned is because all these sports writers are from Big 10 and Pac 10 schools.

And they still put Hawaii in with Georgia and what happened last year? They were absolutely destroyed. Its going to happen again when Hawaii plays Florida. Want a preview of and SEC/Pac-10 game? Georgia plays ASU later in the season, in Phoenix. Sure OSU will play USC... thank God. They get one good team to play and a good game in the year to actually prove they're more than trends that cycle through every 6 years (Notre Dame anyone, where are they ranked?).

Playoff now... stop stalling Big-10 and step up to the plate.

The USC QB had an accident.

He'll be OK in time for the Buckeyes game.

'Bout time an SEC team stepped outside of it's conference to play a game.

Don't forget the Pac10 too! They're both in this together.

They were whining at the last conference meeting about how there hasn't only 2 pac10/big10 matchups since they joined the BCS as if it were some sort of "reason" not to have a playoff system. I say screw them both! Take the Rose Bowl out of the BCS, initiate the "plus 1" system and give The Cotton Bowl a BCS berth. I'm sure the Cotton Bowl would love to be included in the BCS. Especially when they move to Dallas' new 100k seat stadium.

After that, ask Pete Carrol and Jim Tressel which bowl game they would rather play in.

This crap pisses me off! I just LOVE college football....the regular season that is. After Thanksgiving, it just goes to complete crap.

2007 Regular Season Results

LSU 48 Va Tech 7
Georgia 35 Ok. State 14
Georgia 31 Ga. Tech 17
Florida 45 Florida State 12
Auburn 23 Kansas State 13
Miss. State 10 U. Cent. Fl. 3
Alabama 30 Houston 24
South Carolina 21 North Carolina 15
Kentucky 40 Louisville 34

I believe they did. And these schedules are made 3 or 4 years in advance so you never know what kind of team you are going to play.
