well, what a weekend. florida and arky still have to play, usc/nd still have to play. thats 2 more 2 loss teams. can't wait for the new bcs standings to come out. the big east still hasn't proven anything to me. and no, rutgers defense isn't that good. sure, it's good for the big east, but thats about it. 11/18 is the national championship.

Its good enough to stop the 2nd rated offense, but its not that good... right?

Oh, good ol' Woody Hayes is smiling upon the Buckeyes!!!

I sense a huge victory from OSU so that we can say that Tressel will be 5-1 against Carr.

You know Woody is smiling! ;)

Have to go with Michigan this year.

Michigan 31

OSU 23

Both teams are very determined and the game will be decided by mistakes, turnovers.

But, you forget. it's being played in the Horseshoe this year. and, Tressel is undefeated against Michigan in the 'Shoe!

History doesn't matter when Michigan and OSU hit the field ;)

I believe Michigan will win this because of their front 7 and their overall defense.

Front 7? They're as inconsistant as the Vikings here in MN! Given their close games this season (Remember Ball St.?) , I think they'll be intimidated by the many weapons OSU has on offense. Besides, if there's one thing OSU proved it's that they can air it out. We'll see how the corners defend again Gonzalez, Ginn and others! ;)

Intimidated? I doubt Michigan will be intimidated of OSU :laugh:

LOL

L3thal closed all threads about Ohio State, because he is ****ed they won. Even though he leaves threads about baseball, NFL, soccer, ect... open. Even though they clearly have their own pinned threads right at the top. What a joke, no need to act like an ass, its not our faults Nebraska sucks, and Rutgers got their ass' handed to them. Just accept it that Ohio State is good, you have always tried to down play them all year like they arnt anything special, i mean they are only the number 1 team in the country, im not saying you have to like them, but their is no need to close threads just because they are not a team you like. So i guess you have LOTS of work to do, becuase going by the logic you just used you have a ton of threads that need to be closed right now.

Oh yeah and brady quinn sucks

I have a question for you guys since I'm pretty ignorant about how the whole BCS system works and the polls. What doesn't make sense to me is why does everybody gush over USC this and USC that. They are always incredibly overhyped and it annoys the crap out of me because from what I've noticed, it appears that they have a WAAAAY easier time getting to the Nat'l Championship game than any SEC team (in my case, the Gators). If USC had to play in the SEC confrence day in and day out, they would never make it anywhere. I think it's completely unfair that they get pushed up to the top of polls when they have less wins than the teams below them! WTF?!

Can someone please tell me I'm not the only one bitching about this? I know people always complain about the BCS system but am I right in being angry that USC gets this holier than holy prefrence in the polls all the time?!

Told ya ;). I mean come on...Ohio State and Michigan are far and away the best teams in NCAA, and Michigan scares you guys.... ;)

Florida? Play more Div-AA teams. USC? Barely beat everyone. ND? Can't be ahead of Michigan since Michigan taught you how to play the game earlier in the season. Anyone else? Nope.

If Arkansas can win out against No. 4 Florida and No. 9 LSU, they deserve a shot. Sure, they got owned by USC, but the BCS polls tend to forgive teams in the beginning of the season and that shouldn't hurt Arkansas especially if they win out.

I think if USC wins out against ND and others, they will prob pass Mich in the BCS. It's that close. As far as I'm concerned, Mich had their chance and their done. Watching a repeat of this game would suck, esp when OSU will teach them that lesson again.

Remember Carr, 5-1. Going 6-1 would put you two losses to the Bucks in just this year alone! Plus, we love AZ!!!!

If I werea fan, I'd want that, then. Why do you wanna play a team that could beat you? Don't you wanna win the championship? Of course. That's why you don't wanna play Michigan at a neutral site. You barely beat them at home. ;)

Barely??? Last I checked, a win was a win. And, they had plenty of chances to win it. USC could beat us, so could ND or Arkansas. Heck, we could have lost to Illinois!

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Do you remember the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's first handheld console designed in partnership with ASUS? This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer. The game is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027. The next update for Minecraft now has a release date.

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
