TU looks really good. I don't think OK State has a chance. And if Aggie can hang with Tech for that long, they don't either.

TU is the front runner to get the at-large bid against the automatic qualifier from the SEC in the BCS Championship.

Oklahoma Lite - no worries
Guns Up - Possible points but not close
Baylor - #1 Team VS. Attack Team Defense
Kansas - possible points but closer
Ags - Not a chance

I think tu has the best chance to run the table of all the undefeateds (besides penn st.)
The Ags will play hard, but they are just way outmanned.

Penn St. could be in for a surprise this weekend. Write it down.

My money is still on 'Bama b/c they play defense. Hardly anyone does anymore. I don't think TU's defense is good enough to win it all.

Why do you hate Nick Saban?
You carry a lot of hate with you.

Because he blatantly cheats right in the face of the NCAA and they do nothing about it. I know that most, if not all, college coaches find ways to bend the rules, but Saban is just a dirty rat. He reminds me of a politician.
Yes, the hate is strong in this one.

What evidence do you have of him cheating? Don't get me wrong, the dude seems like a snake. But he has never been caught cheating anywhere he has been.
Plus, the guy wins.

sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/stewart_mandel/07/06/cheating.cfb/index.html" Alabama is currently investigating allegations that coach Nick Saban violated the so-called "bump" rule -- which says if a coach "bumps into" a recruit during a non-contact period he can only say a quick hello -- by engaging several South Florida recruits in conversation during visits to their high schools. It's widely assumed that coaches violate these ticky-tack rules all the time, but in doing so they are theoretically trying to gain a leg up on their competitors -- i.e. cheating." There was also something this spring about him talking to recruits on the web during a no contact period. Again, not saying he is the only one, he just seems to be the Bill Belichick of college football. I know it is a necessary evil of college sports, I'm just saying that some are worse than others. But like you said as long as you win it doesn't matter. Sherman could run the cleanest program in the nation but if after 4-5 years we aren't winning games he will be out of the job, so I understand why they do it.

You didn't provide a lick of proof, and it even says in the article that every coach does it and the rules are ticky tack.
He has never been proven to cheat on anything has he?
I don't really like him, I just have no reason to hate him.

I never said I had the smoking gun to take him down. I only know what I have heard and read, most of which I take with a grain of salt, but some stuff sticks in my mind.
Who was the last big name coach caught for serious violations...Jackie Sherrill is the last one I can think of. Once again, I never said he is the only one, but in my mind he seems to be worse than others. It is just my opinion, I'm not trying to take him down.
