damn yo.  sux for michigan.
I'm in no way even including officiating in my comments. It's pure computer crap that screws up the system. Officiating is it's own beast.

Alrighty, just making sure

damn yo. sucked for me and the Hurricanes last year...

:angry:

its okay though for a team to be in the BCS title game without even winning their own conference?

Absolutely! Imagine if #1 and #3 are in the same conference, and #1 loses in the conference game. Should that have as much of an impact as #1 losing to the next best in the conference (but completely unraked)?

I really wish we had a playoff so it could be decided on the field not on paper. However, I think that this time the BCS got it right... USC's loss is more significant than OK or LSU.

yeah yeah, here i am. royally ****ed and depressed. i don't care about the bcs/rankings, i just wanted to whoope usc's ass. the game was fun, unfortunately, the 3 stealth jets was the highlight for me....

honestly, human polls are way more biased than the bcs ever has been. do you really think the voters unbiasedly watch EVERY football game every saturday, and then make an unbiased vote? never.

yes, the bcs does need some tweaks. i know of a few situations where computers had like miami of ohio #1 and #2 in some polls, but then they lost, so that worked everything out.

if you think about, how would this be any better if there were no bcs?

you'd have 3 one loss teams, all playing in seperate bowls. there would be a 3 way split national title. at least the bcs got it down to 2.

lol, yeah, even the pics didn't come out that great for me. i didn't bring my cam, cuz i was sure they wouldn't allow cameras with changeable lenses. of course, there ended up being several people around me with them...so i just had my gf bring the g3 i gave her as backup. but she never charges the battery, so i only got around 50 pics and 5 mins of movie before the battery died...

yeah, i dont watch sports at all cause i think theyre worthless, but the BCS is pretty stupid. i agree w/ the canadian earlier... it's kinda like how we elect presidents. even though people vote, it doesnt matter at all cause the electoral college votes for them anyway, not the people. so why not just have the president elected by the people? why not just have the football teams play each other and the team w/ the best record wins.

The best the BigXII has to offer is playing in New Orleans this weekend  :D

LOL, how do you figure? did you happen to miss the big 12 championship game??

and you people still forget that without the bcs, we would have a 3 way split national title.

Yes. Still doesn't show me that KSU had a better team. It would be pointless to not look at the rest of the season. I am not a BigXII fan at all either. I just don't see how Big 10/Pac 10 teams give the conferences that actually have a CG a hard time (not saying you...others I work with, ext...).

I am a firm believer that every conference should have a CG.

but dude, how can that not show you that KSU is better? there's only one way to see who is better between ksu and ou, and that is to play each other. they did that, and ksu whooped on them.

so does the sugar bowl not matter either? should we look at how the rest of their seasons were?

you can't ask for a better comparison than 2 teams actually playing each other.

this is pro now but lions are better than rams? arizona is better than minnesota? i think not... playing another team doesnt always determine who is better overall... it just proves who had a better game

I'm really trying to understand all of this BCS ranking stuff.. I'm a Buckeye, and I enjoyed watching lastnight's Fiesta Bowl win. Here's my question .. Ohio State and Michigan have the same record, 10-2, why is it that Ohio State had to settle for a Big-12 team in the Fiesta Bowl? I just watch the games, lol.. I don't worry about rankings or anything. Was just hoping to defend our national championship, but what happend to doing that? Why did we not get to do that? Because we lost to Michigan? Someone is gonna have to help me, cause if this post is as confusing as I am confused, I'm sorry.. LoL..

i know that man, but what more can you do? college structure is totally different too, and they have a playoff.

people always agure the bcs stats and whatnot, so what do we do, we try to place the best 2 teams together in a bowl. why? so they can play each other. why even bother if that "only proves who has a better game"? because thats the best you can do.

if two teams playing each other doesn't really prove who's better, then i don't get the point of anything we're doing.

it's why they play the game. your stats can say all they want, rams=greatness, lions=suckiness. then why did the lions even bother playing, ya know? stats are one thing, but stats don't give you a W in the win/loss column.

YEA Buckeyes!!!!

Longest Fiesta Bowl in History, over 4 hours!!!! And Krenzel set a OSU record by throwing 4 TDs in a bowl game. Woody must be rolling in his grave!!!!

Of course, no thanks to the ACC line crew who botched KSU's time by running the clocks after two first downs before the markers were set. WTF was up with that??? Well, at least it ain't OSU's fault this year!!!!!

tOSU didn't get to defend their NC because according to the BCS rankings, they weren't #1 or #2. becuase michigan won the big 10, they got the conferences automatic bid to a bcs bowl. tOSU was selected as an at large team, which means, they weren't even guaranteed a bcs bowl.

Well, the way I heard, it was down to Flor. St or OSU in the Fiesta bowl. The people of the Fiesta Bowl wanted OSU because of their fan presence last year. And since OSU was still a pretty strong team, based on BCS numbers (OSU is still in the top 10 of the BCS numbers, similar to the way OK is in there), they got invited to play the Big 12 Champion, who automatically went to the Fiesta Bowl. OSU was a BCS invite, based on their stats in the BCS. Besides, they wouldn't get to play for the championship since they had two losses. Michigan's win over OSU, solidified their Rose Bowl game and div championship, which = Pac 10 champ vs. Big 10 champ. This of course is decided by the bowl game execs.

I see.. I think.. Michigan's record is 7-1 Big Ten and 10-3 Overall (now) and OSU is 6-2 Big Ten and 11-2 Overall (now) .. so the OSU vs Michigan game was for the conference title .. But why then, didn't Michigan get a chance at the National title? They weren't ranked #1 in the BCS?? If I think about it.. DAMN! That would have been one HELL of a game if it was OSU vs. Oklahoma.. WHEW! I'm not keen on sports, I just know who I like and chear for them.. LoL.. the BCS stuff just confuses me, so I read the rankings and try to figure it out.. get a head ache.. and go to bed. LoL.. There's always next year!!

BCS is a complicated thing. First of all, Michigan lost 2 games. You gotta be near the top with an undefeated record or at least one loss. You have OK, LSU, and USC all with one loss. You also got to factor in strength of schedule, (how many ranked or big teams you play), and various other alogorythms (sp?) to decide who is number 1-2. After Michigan's loss to Iowa, the only chance they would have had at a title is if the other 1 loss teams lost a game or two.

Because OSU lost the div. title game, there would be no way they would play OK. Besides, I think we would have gotten spanked. Roberson looked good last night. Imagine what White would have done to OSU's secondary.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
