Thanks to that thumping of some random Div I-AA team? yeah.

Oh so just because of one team, one game, we don't deserve a chance at going to the National Championship game? Please...

I'm sure teams like USC and Michigan never play crappy ass teams either right? :rolleyes:

I guess none of our other 12 wins must count then... jeez

Can you image Boise St. jumping to #2 in the BCS :rofl:

Of course that will not happen, but it would be a great thing so they can see how the BCS is a flaw. Of course, I give immense credit and respect to Boise St. who has played very efficient football the past 2 years.

Yeah, and a weak MAC team should have been destroyed by Michigan in Ann Arbor, but they weren't.

Yeah, buts its not just the fact they were 1-AA, its the fact they were were an extremly ****ty 1-AA team. They had only one win against other 1-AA teams, and their other win was againts a 0-10 D-2 team. I dont think it can get any worse then that.

Then fine, don't even count the game, just say Florida played only 11 regular season games, then beat another top 10 team in the SEC championship game. Does that help?

Everyone wants to get hung up that Florida performed like they should have against a terrible team, but then forgets when Michigan gets by a terrible team by only 8 at home.

Michigan emptied their bench against Ball State before half-time. Had they played their regulars for all four quarters, they probably would have blown them out.

Everyone and their brother knows that the two best teams in the nation are the Buckeyes and Wolverines. Makes you wonder if we'd all be having this debate about Florida and Michigan had the Wolverines never played the Buckeyes and lost to someone else.

Unbelieveable...Florida's #2 in both polls now. Looks like we are gonna have them in the BCS.

Ohio State is simply going to crush them. So much for a good game.

Putting that one in my back pocket :)

Personally, I do not understand why you think UF being #2 is unbelievable. They have done nothing this season to NOT be deserving of that spot. And throw all the "win with style points" BS out of the window because I can remember a very "unstylish" OSU team a few years back winning the title.

Bottom line: the BCS sucks. Regardless of which side of the fence you are on, it's clear that this mockery of a system is ridiculous. Teams like Utah and Boise State have no shot whatsoever to make a national championship game - how they can say the BCS is good for college football is beyond me.

Having said that...Go Gators. And if they do make it in, I'm going for a 21-17 victory :)

Didn't most people say the same thing last year when USC was crowned the greatest team ever or when Miami played OSU.

Oh yeah go Gators. Win one for the SEC. :rofl:

LA Times has leaked the BCS games.

Title Game Florida vs OSU

Rose: USC vs. Michigan.

Sugar: Notre Dame vs. LSU.

Orange: Louisville vs. Wake Forest.

Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Boise State.

Here's BSU chance to prove they even have an argument for playing for the MNC.

Did I call it or did I call it????

You should listen to a guy who's crazy enough to have a Brutus Buckeye avatar!!!! ;)

Go Bucks!!!!!

Yeah and last time I checked, Florida played pretty much everyone on their bench as well. :rolleyes:

Anyway, GO GATORS!

Now where can I find tickets at a decent price since the Cardinal's stadium is just down the street from me (well, almost)! Ebay tickets are going for $2k! :cry: Anyone know where I can get BCS tickets at a fair price?

Well, your best bet at most schools is if you belong to whatever athletic foundation controls season tickets to the normal games. If you don't already have season tickets, or aren't a member of that foundation, its going to be a lot tougher. You could also might get some if you have friends/family who work (in a high position) for any of the big sponsors of that game. Lastly, if you have any friends who are legislators or in government in either Florida, Ohio, or Arizona, they probably have the right to buy a certain number of tickets (its usually not many though).

Anyway, Geaux Gators!!

Congrats, Gator fans...your coach got you there.

The BCS is a major farce. Not because of the Championship game, but Notre Dame getting in ranked #11? That's just wrong. LSU is gonna chew them up.

Great article.....

Good article.

I feel bad for Michigan. They were had. :no:

florida, prepared to get pwned. you've struggled with michigan in the recent past in bowls, and this osu team is on a completely different level. the pollsters know michigan is the #2 team, they just don't want a rematch. the pollsters had USC jump michigan last week, figuring that would take care of the problem. last week nobody outside of the state of florida thought florida was title game worthy. then all of a sudden, usc loses. bam, now florida's suddenly put ahead of michigan? why wasn't florida #2 last week?

if usc would have won, i can guarantee florida would stayed at #4 and michigan at #3. had florida lost, and the season was a week longer? lsu or louisville or somebody woulda jumped michigan. the polls are a scam, Urban Crier is a disgrace.

florida's only national title came in 1996.......in a REMATCH with FSU!

florida actually received 1 first place vote this week. FIRST PLACE! the human polls are a complete joke.

Looks like the only interesting game is USC vs Michigan.

I laughed so hard at Boise St vs Wake Forest. I don't even consider this a BCS game

Its Boise St. vs. Oklahoma, genious :rolleyes:

Can someone tell me why teams like Boise St., Utah, Wake Forest, etc. always get looked down upon? I mean, what has Boise St. done this year to make people look at them and say they do not deserve a BCS bid? Is it because they went undefeated? Last time I checked, if you went undefeated no matter what conference in college football, it was a great accomplishment considering how hard it is to win week in and week out.

Then there was Utah who was also looked down upon because they were Utah.

I find it to be a disgrace how teams like Boise St. get no shot at the championship game. I mean, what is their incentive to win every game if they can't get their anyway?

For bosie state i think it has something to do with their 99th ranked strength of schedule.

    • What is the relationship, exactly, between Microsoft and 1Pass developers? It looks like Microsoft plan is to embrace, expand and extinguish so that users have no access to anything unless they have access to 1Pass. And we all know Microsoft prefers biometrics over traditional passwords. So, it all just seems a bit shallow to me.

    • Top 10 cool features coming soon to Windows 11 by Taras Buria Microsoft released plenty of Windows 11 updates in the first half of 2025. While the formal "big feature update" is coming in the second half of the year in the form of version 25H2, monthly updates delivered quite a lot of changes and new features. Check out our top 10 list here. Now, let's see what Microsoft has in store for the rest of the year. The following 10 changes and upgrades are currently available in Windows 11 preview builds. Note that some features might not make it to the stable channel or arrive later. However, you can try them out by downloading one of the latest preview builds. 1. Brand-new Start menu Microsoft officially announced the new Start menu a couple of months ago. It is a major step up from what we had all these years, with plenty of user feedback fully or partially addressed. The menu now uses a single scrollable view, the Recommended section can be turned off, and users can enjoy bigger sizes with more layouts. If you frequently use the Start menu, the new variant will be a nice upgrade for you. It could potentially convince naysayers to finally leave Windows 10 behind. By the way, check out some of the ideas and concepts that Microsoft considered while redesigning the Start menu. 2. Adaptive Power Saver Microsoft wants to make Windows 11 more energy efficient and improve battery life by introducing the so-called adaptive power saver. It will turn on or off power saver mode depending on the current workload, not your current battery level. Also, it will not dim your screen, unlike what we currently have in the stable channel. The new energy saver will be available on laptops, tablets, and handhelds, or any Windows 11 device with a battery inside. 3. Change where hardware indicators appear I am not sure if there are people who wanted to make the volume or brightness flyout appear in the top-left corner or top-center, but here we go. Soon, Microsoft will let you select where hardware indicators or flyouts appear. I would rather have the ability to move the taskbar to the top or left/right, but unfortunately, Microsoft is not asking me or thousands of other users. 4. Agentic search in Settings This feature is exclusive to Copilot+ PCs. Agentic search in Settings lets you use natural language to describe what is wrong with your PC, and the operating system will offer solutions and even suggest taking action on your behalf. For example, you can say, "My cursor is too small." The system will understand the problem and make the cursor larger or show you where you can adjust it yourself. Pretty cool stuff. Too bad it will take my job, though. By the way, the search box in the Settings app is now larger and at the top-center. 5. Notification center clock This is a small change, but apparently, a lot of Windows 11 users miss the notification clock from Windows 10. Soon, it will finally make it to Windows 11, allowing you to see a bigger time when viewing notifications or the calendar flyout, which, unfortunately, remains extremely primitive. Come on, Microsoft! I have to give Microsoft credit for extra customization: You can turn off the notification center clock if you do not like it. 6. Lock Screen customization Windows 11 will soon let you pick what widgets appear on the lock screen. If you only want to have the weather widget or traffic, Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen will allow you to disable unused widgets and keep only the necessary ones. 7. Quick Machine Recovery Quick Machine Recovery is a new security feature that Microsoft introduced to help deal with the results of widespread outages like the one that happened in the Summer of 2024. Now, if a system cannot boot, it can try to receive the necessary fixes or mitigations by connecting to Windows Update from the recovery environment. 8. Windows Advanced Settings The Windows Advanced Settings Section will soon replace the For Developers section in the Settings app. It will bring certain features from the now-killed Dev Home app, including the ability to toggle long paths in directories, Virtual Workspaces settings, File Explorer source code integration, and more. Besides, Microsoft is making the new section a bit tidier with feature groups like Taskbar, File Explorer, Terminal, Virtual Workspaces, and more. 9. Black Screen of Death Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD, is going away. It will soon become the Black Screen of Death with no iconic smiley face, QR codes, or any mentions of Windows 11 at all. Microsoft is streamlining the experience to help users better understand what caused a crash, and that it is not always Microsoft that is to blame. Here is what the new Black Screen of Death looks like: 10. Passkey improvements Microsoft is improving the passkey experience for those using 1Password, a popular third-party password manager. Windows Security will be able to use your stored passkeys and save new ones across websites. These ten features are not everything that Microsoft has in store. Future updates will bring more changes and improvements, and some of them will arrive in monthly cumulative updates. What features caught your attention, and what do you want Microsoft to change the most? Share your thoughts in the comments.
    • I don't think there is any stock apps from Microsoft worth keeping on a Windows install anymore. Everything has been ruined by WebView or Copilot.
