hahahaaaa
I think if somehow Ark beats LSU in the last game of the season the will get into a BCS game. A win like that will bump them up above Bama, IMO. It's "what have you done for me lately" in college football.

Their offense. Their record. Both are leaps and bounds better than a TCU team who also hasn't beaten anyone other than a Boise win that is more than negated by 2 losses to less than stellar teams. Even legit teams from real conferences with real schedules don't get 2 loss leeway most of the time unless their 2 losses are to other legit teams from legit conferences with real schedules. The only way to go to a BCS bowl for the little fellas is to go undefeated playing all the nobody's. TCU hasn't done that. Houston has. So raking up all those yards with the the 123rd ranked SOS is impressive? If that gets you going I'll send you a stick and a ball of yarn for your next birthday. TCU has the 24th ranked offense...nothing to sneeze at. Houston has the 67th ranked defense. TCU is somewhere around 40. Your hyperboles are funny. |

Here's the idiocy of the BCS system, since only 2 teams per conference can go to BCS bowls (because of the crying of the mid-majors and their apologist in the media), Arkansas could beat Miss State and #1 LSU (in Baton Rouge) go 11-1 and still NOT go to a BCS bowl. Arkansas would have beaten 5 teams this year that were ranked in the top 15 (including the #1 on the road) with their only loss coming AT #2 Alabama, while say a TCU would qualify with an inferior record and schedule. Michael, Michael, Michael...the two-team rule has nothing to do with midmajors or the media. In fact, name one mid-major apologist among reputable members of the media? There's plenty of advocates, but not apologists. And if there were any apologists they were swinging a stick only for Boise the last several years. But notice how the nad-licking of BSU has been almost non-existent this year since they aren't in a conference controlled by ESPN? The two-team rule was in place well before the rules were changed in 2007 to make it easier for non-AQ teams to qualify. It was put in place to make sure one conference doesn't bogart the at-large bids. |

There aren't any hyperboles. You act like TCU has played a tough schedule. They haven't. The only decent team they beat is Boise. The other two average teams they played, they got beat.
How is this so hard for you? You can make all the snide remarks about the pick em, A&M, my intelligence all you want. I don't care. The fact of the matter is, there has never been a less deserving team than tcu for bcs contention. If they make a BCS game, the system definitely needs to be done away with. There are 4-6 (or more) teams from every BCS conference sans the Big East (they only have 3 I think) that would beat tcu and have better resumes.

Also, quit trying to talk down to all of us. Mike, Sully, Framp, Finch, Doyle and myself all know as much as you or more about college football. In fact, we all have at least a minute ability to be objective, which you have absolutely no ability to do. None.

Talk down to Doyle all you want. Just not me.
And don't get me wrong, the Boise win was impressive. It jjust shouldn't carry much weight when you have two losses to average teams, no matter how close they are. The fact of the matter is that TCU doesn't play a big boys schedule. If the Aggies only lost two games all year and they were to Baylor and Iowa St, they would have a rough time getting into the BCS, even with wins over the rest of the Big 12 (IMO). So to compare two losses to two similar teams and wins inside a weak conference is ridiculous. If that makes since.

It makes plenty of sense. That is what's amazing about all these arguments. Common sense is not valid when arguing with stubbs.

Houston has the 67th ranked defense. TCU is somewhere around 40. Your hyperboles are funny. UofH has the 41st ranked scoring defense. TCU is 46th. Scroring defense is far more important than total defense. UofH scores every 40 seconds so their defense is out there all the time. But they don't allow as many points as TCU. |

I love how all of Stubbs comments about how weak UH is can also be made for TCU.
Hasn't beat anyone? Who the hell has TCU beat.
In front of 200 people? Yeah, because TCU is known for selling out game after game. The crowd at Jerryworld was pathetic no matter how you try to spin it.
Defense? Ouch, Fisch just tomahawked that little argument.
Bring up pick'em smack? HA! Until this year you have been far and away one of the worst in the pick'em year in and year out. Bringing it up makes you look so petty it takes the humor out of it.
I get that TCU is on a historic run and you're trying to get your shots in while you can, but goodness you don't have to be such a delusional ass about it. I'm interested to see if your passion continues when TCU becomes a middle of the pack team in the Bevo _. I seem to remember a day when Miami was your team, haven't heard you talk about them much these days.

I also love how Stubbs has started to bring stats into his argument. There was another thread (I think it was the Rangers thread) when everytime someone brought up stats about how they thought one team would beat the other, Stubbs would fire back with 'for every stat you find that support team A I can find 4 stats that support team B.' But now that he thinks they help his argument stats are fine to use. Nice work sir.

Found it, although I'm sure Stubbs will spin this somehow. Forget the numbers. Forget the trends. For every 3 stats people come up with that favor STL I can give you 4 that favor the Rangers. If you buy into the numbers you don't understand how the world works. |

Well, first off:
Game, set, match. Pg. 18 of this thread is one of the most epic cases of ownage in the history of this board.
Second: I have a sneaking suspicion Stubbs will get busy at work now.

No, I had to leave work early yesterday but I have plenty to fire back about. Let me get caught up and I'll refute every one of your points.
