Gameday
Do people just go and camp-out for gameday? because I wanna do that.
"Q: What would you say the loudest stadiums are? Corso: I think Autzen Stadium. Per person, the Oregon stadium is the loudest stadium I’ve ever been in. The fact that it’s so low to the ground doesn’t allow the sound to escape." Lee Corso, ESPN GameDay.

Two years ago I was there for the ASU gameday and they opened the lots at 5 AM.

My wife is not quite as happy as you and I are about me not shaving. She’s being a good sport about it though. The last time I shaved was the week we played the game we do not speak of.

Thankfully, my wife is amazing and loves it when I don’t shave. She also likes camping/fishing and hates shopping. I may be the luckiest man ever.

How do you think Ohio St makes a BCS game EVERY FREAKING YEAR, and the national champ game twice only to get smoked? If we’re going to go with the BCS system, why can’t the computers just be a tiebreaker. If all the human polls agree on the top 2 teams, they should play each other. I’m going to stop now before my head explodes. Really? Iowa is the #1 team in the country after beating a team with a miracle in the final seconds of the game that lost to Central Michigan?
The BCS makes me tired.

I am avoiding any and all emotional attachment to rankings until next Sunday.
Win next week and all those little decimal points and the popularity contests start carrying a lot more weight for this team. Lose and arguments for the BCS are right back to foggy at best and not worth talking about, unless we end up Pac-10 champ by other means.
Iowa, hmm, ha, don’t care, but my guess is their SOS is high right now because they’ve played the strong records on their schedule, will drop as they play NWern, Indiana, Minnesota.
Ok, that is as much thought as I can allow for today.
Today, those rankings might as well be colors rather than numbers.
Next week I go spreadsheet ballistic, should JuJu choose to put me in that position.

Ya I’m not really worrying about how the ranking affect the Ducks, I’m just looking at them and wondering how some of these things happen. I’m still looking at winning the Pac 10, and we still control our own destiny there.

I guess via pure numbers, ala computers
I don’t see any reason why an undeafeated Iowa deserves it any less than the rest of the guys out there.
I said I was avoiding this part of my spreadsheet personality, but I think if you get into the pure numbers of wins by Iowa’s opponents and their opponents opponents, it will be greater than that of Fla and Bama… let alone Texas and the rest of the group. The computers don’t care that Iowa St “normally sucks”… they’re 5-3 and thus a good SOS win.
They may drop as tough teams play other tough teams, and they play lesser competition.
Then there’s the fact that the BCS doesn’t allow margin of victory in it’s ratings, so a 1 point win is as good as an 80 point win, so the computers don’t care if they “looked bad” winning.

According to Stewart Mandel:
Say what you want about the Hawkeyes’ decidedly ugly brand of football — they’ve beaten more BCS-conference opponents with winning records (7-1 Penn State, 5-2 Wisconsin, 5-2 Arizona, 5-3 Iowa State and 5-3 Michigan) than any undefeated team and their opponents’ combined record of 38-22 (.633) is far better than that of any other top 10 team.
Now 2-0 in Husky Stadium with a win each for LSU and Oregon.

Does no one realize that the computer can’t use margin of victory? Iowa is undefeated against a very tough schedule. It doesn’t matter if they have looked crappy doing it. To the computers, a win is a win. These results shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Humans couldn't be more unimpressed with them, but you are right. The computers don't see all.
If they are as crappy as they appear, they will lose. Make no mistake on that.

It would simply be a bummer for an Iowa team to make it in a BCS
game, and finally get throttled. In terms of ranking teams, a little human subjectivity is a good thing

Well, the winner of the Big 10 is going to a BCS game regardless how shitty they are.
If you’re talking the NCG, Iowa’s not making it unless 2 out of the Bama/Fla/Texas crowd loose, and even then they are very much in danger of getting passed by a USC that wins out and adds UO and UA to their SOS, or Cinn who is already at #6 in the computers and has WVU and Pitt coming up. Iowa’s computer ranking will likely be dropping over the next few weeks regardless of wins if as they add Indiana, Minn, and NWern to their SOS.
Personally, whether they deserve it or not, I like Iowa going to the NCG because it opens up a spot in the Rose for…. Boise State. Let’s do this thing again.
Aaaaaarg, I said i was not doing this…. aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggg!!!!!

well one out of the bama/fla is definitely going to lose, if and when they play in the SEC title game…
So Iowa would need only Texas to lose. As for a one loss USC, they will not pass an undefeated Iowa no matter if they add UO or UA to their resume if Iowa keeps winning
by Matt Daddy on Oct 25, 2009 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think anything is certain, other than Bama/Fla loosing one minimum.
True on that.
Brad Edwards of Espn writes that, assuming UT wins out and everyone in the SEC looses 1 minimum, the 2nd spot could go to USC or Iowa… but he actually thinks the polls + computers would favor a 1 loss SEC champion… even if it’s current #9 LSU.
He doesn’t speak to the mid-majors or Cinn, but I’m assuming his scenarios show they are screwed unless everyone looses a bunch.
USC and Iowa looks alot like a tossup. Those two teams are only .03 apart today, and Iowa’s SOS will head down, while USC’s heads up over the next few weeks (if both continue to win). Human polls will likely favor USC by a wide margin as they already do, with knowledge of Iowa’s path to its victories, and with the usual bias for a traditional powerhouse.
I don’t think any of that is certain unless you’ve found someone crunching numbers for all sorts of scenarios.

I view this the same way I would view a team that clearly doesn’t look good in their wins and looks horrible in their losses nonetheless being on top of conference standings because of which ones they pulled out. I think it’ll eventually catch up to them and they’ll lose, but if they don’t, then I won’t feel like I can argue with it much.

I’m not sure it will, at this point. The only team left that has a legitimate shot is a mediocre tOSU team. That game IS on the road for Iowa, so it could trip them up, but the other three games are at home, and the only team with a pulse is Minn.
I’d like to play Iowa in the Rose Bowl, but they’ll get hammered if they face Texas or the SEC champ in the NC game.

Just looked over at Sagarin’s ratings, and apparently, if the could do as he wished and hand the BCS something he got from equations with margin of victory in them, Oklahoma would be 6th, between 5 Southern Cal and 7 Oregon.

Eastern Sports Promotion Network
ESPN College GameDay will provide some very rare attention to the western side of the college football country Nov 1st when they visit the PAC-10 and actually promote Eastern college teams from the Oregon Duck Autzen stadium in Eugene, OR. It has been confirmed that ESPN executives understand that teams like Ohio State, Notre Dame or OK will not be one of the teams playing the Ducks. ESPN executives said just because both teams in this game are from the PAC10 dosen’t mean they can’t devote every bit of the time on coaches, players and injuries on teams in for example the SEC or Big Ten.
“The top story in the country is Sam Bradford, his injury status and plans for the NFL. That won’t change, said Kirk Herbstreit. We will spend some time talking USC up but we will always mention USC if we think about the PAC10 at all.”
“It will probably be raining because that is all it does in Eugene and both teams have already lost once so they don’t deserve to be mentioned along with SEC teams, complained Corso. What’s worse is that Oregon lost to Boise St.!! However, USC should make the game fairly exciting because they did beat Ohio St.”
