Games of interest

Yes, MSU is a reasonable comparison.

Tech is not awesome, but you saying Loyola is anywhere near comparable to them is crazy talk. Go get your "eye test" checked. I've seen both play. Tech is so-so. Loyola is garbage.

Both are garbage. Tech is elite garbage.

Regardless, you get my effing point.

[ShockerFever]

You try so hard to be objective you come across as a BCS apologist. Watch a game once in a while and quit looking at your analytical garbage that doesn't reflect match ups, heart, coaching adjustments or mojo.

I've bit my tongue all year but enough is enough. Jeezus!

Thank you.

I guarantee you his number watching to basketball watching is at least at a 10 to 1 ratio.

K-State 45 - Mighty TCU 42 with 11:43 to go in Manhattan. I expect that TCU will wear down yet but I give those kids credit for giving it all they have.

Guys, guys, guys....Florida will end up number 1, Syracuse will drop to 2 and we'll remain at 3. I really hope that happens, I firmly believe this type of stuff motivates the boyz.

I hope it happens too. But I think we pass Syracuse due to their losing at home to a 6-19 team. Florida 1, WSU 2

[Aargh]

If you look at rpi, Syracuse losing at home to BC is the same as WSU losing at home to Drake. We'll see how that works out Saturday night.

Wow, I just watched the last 20 seconds of Auburn-Florida. Yikes, that was bad, bad, bad.

Regardless, you get my effing point.

Being undefeated is a tremendous feat. You don't need to put lipstick on a pig. Schedule is what it is. Tourney will be the proof.

BC is right there with UNI/SIU I'd say

But that is after that win. I mean they were 6-19...
That's a worse record than Loyola

Boston College won three games in the nonconference season.

Three.

They don't have a bad record because they're in the ACC. They have a bad record because they're a bad team.

UNI played a tougher nonconference schedule and did better against it. You can make a comparison between BC and SIU, but not UNI.

Did you really just argue that we should be comparing teams based on "heart" and "mojo" ?

You should keep biting your tongue if that's your argument. I'd run an NCAA tournament simulation purely off numbers against some vague appreciation of "heart" any day. The numbers will never account for everything, but they account for a hell of a lot more than the average casual fan can account for in the two games of a team they watch before making uninformed assumptions.

Re-read my post. I HAVE watched them. Both of them. It's not close.

My goodness, claiming Texas Tech is significantly better than Loyola is an example of me being a BCS apologist? This board offers way better jokes than any stupid late night comedian on TV.

[Rlh04d]

Florida #1, WSU #2, Syracuse #3. WSU gets 1/3 of first place votes.

You read it here first.

I agree with your ranking, not that we'll get 1/3 of the first place votes. Don't think it'll be nearly that high.

Have you went back and looked at your last years worth of posts? Any and I mean virtually any attack on a BCS school, you jump into the fray. I guarandamntee you that you cannot just sit a discussion out. The fact that you poke your nose in every discussion makes you come across as a BCS apologist. Texas Tech is better than Loyola, okay? That wasn't my point. It's the wet blanket theory that you just won't let something go. It's like almost on cue.

Just a tip---if it's that ridiculous why even justify with a comment?

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Texas Tech is 13-13 with a SOS of 56.
Loyola entered tonight 8-17 with an SOS of 199.

The comparison is insane.

[Dave Stalwart]

Three.

They don't have a bad record because they're in the ACC. They have a bad record because they're a bad team.

UNI played a tougher nonconference schedule and did better against it. You can make a comparison between BC and SIU, but not UNI.

You may have missed the part where I said that following a win over #1 on the road, they are NOW comparable to UNI/SIU.
