QUOTE(danman31 @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) How is WSU still behind LSU in both polls? Even worse, they are one spot behind them in the AP. They won at LSU and haven't lost to anyone, how is LSU the better team? Who knows.

New rankings out: UCLA number 1 in both polls. WSU up to 10th in the ap, still only 16th in the coaches poll. Butler 14 in ap, 15 in coaches. SIU gets 30 votes in the ap and 22 in the coaches. EDIT: And looking at the polls more closely, how the crunk did Depaul get votes?

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) Trading Joe Crede would be the dumbest thing that KW could do. I'd like to hear an explanation as to why...

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) We play 'Cuse and West Virginia early in the New Year, and to my knowledge, we're off at least until January 15th, if not the week after that. Other than that, it's a buch of mid majors (UMBC, Oakland, Morgan State, and Savannah State) and some away BE games (@ Providence and UConn). I'll willingly make the drive up for the 'Cuse and WV games, though -- and maybe I'll try and make it up for one of the mid-major games, although that's doubtful. Wanna come with me to Carbondale on the first?

So just a random question but for you students: any home games over break that piss you off that they're over break? We play Wichita State and Missouri State over break at home and I'm really ticked about that. And I also know that Illinois has OSU over break. So anyone else with big home games over break?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) Of course Florida will get beat up, Just like they were going to get "exposed" against Arkansas?

So I'm watching an interview with Sosa on espn right now. How can he do an interview? I thought he couldn't understand English?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 12:34 AM) Good thread. Why can't we sign him? We got it done with Paulie. Pauly's agent wasn't Scott Boras and Crede is actually going to get more money than Paul.

It's about paying players what they're worth. I love Joe Crede but we'll be better off spreading that money around instead of just giving it to Joe and that's most likely what Kenny believes as well.

OCHO CINCO FOR PRESIDENT

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) That, and the "_____ sucks" No, actually, he's good. LOL, we do have good times when people do that. Random fan: "ORTIZ SUCKS" Me and You: "No, he's actually pretty good."

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) As a wise man once said....."gleefully chanting 'overrated' after defeating an opponent is like bragging after banging the ugliest girl at the party". I despise the overrated chant. Takes away from what your own team did. Not to mention Florida isn't overrated, but whatever.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) Apparently Florida's team has been riddled with the flu pretty bad. Well Brewer does have Mono. And Noah got sick as well. So ya, they're definitely not 100 percent at the moment. Still a nice win for FSU as they've been getting rocked through this rough stretch of their's.

Gators look like they're going down. Down 2, FSU to the line with 4 seconds left. Thorton makes both and FSU is going to win. And here comes the overrated chant.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) Ya LSU is 4th in the rankings but they lost 2 games. Louisville only lost 1 game, same with Wisconsin. Boise State never lost? No matter where you cut it off there is going to be controversy. I agree but it's still better to be discussing a 4th team who gets into a playoff than just a 2nd team who gets put into the championship. At least there you have someone winning 2 games on the field.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) So whose 4th this year? Probably LSU. But it's better to discuss who is a 4th team than having to discuss who the 2nd team is. At least if you have a 4 team playoff, someone is earning it on the field.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:38 PM) Because USC and Michigan were so close point wise when USC beat Notre Dame. I have ALWAYS believed that who you lose to should matter just as much as to who you beat. Michigan started so low in the rankings this year, that I understand why USC was still around even with the loss to Oregon State. I don't like the fact that in two weeks, Florida gained so much ground on a team that didn't get to play. It's just how I feel. Buckeyes win big. Nice quote in your sig, lol. I like how the two Brian's are ganging up on me in this thread.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) Where's the Tigers playoffs thread? Eh, I honestly believed the Tigers were going to win the World Series, and I told people that a few weeks before the season even ended(ask snb).

QUOTE(Felix @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) I'm picking against every team thats favored. Hell, I gotta be right at least once Don't mind Krush, he's just mad at me cause I won his March Madness pool this year.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) You always try to call every upset ever. Won't happen this time. This is going to happen. And what upsets are you talking about? I do go with a lot of upsets in my bracket every year during March Madness, but everything I call at least is usually semi close, guess everyone hates me now cause I'm making an unpopular pick.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) I would of accepted USC over Michigan even with the loss to Oregon State, but won't accept Florida. Why? Florida has the number 1 strength of schedule in college football and won the best conference in football while only losing one game. I have no clue why you oppose Florida so much more than you would USC.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:07 PM) I'm gonna start calling you out. YOu keep getting these out on a limb gut feelings, they never happen, and nobody mentions them. I got my eye on you, sir. LOL, like what? Cause I said once in the college basketball thread that I thought Depaul was going to beat Kentucky? Ohio State turned me off a lot during their game against Michigan. Florida will win that game, just watch.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) OSU will kill Florida and than the BCS and the voters will realize that they did not get the 2 best teams in the title game. I would of accepted USC getting the shot over Michigan, but not Florida. Florida is going to win that game.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Dec 3, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) When was the last time a ranked 1 college football team played a rank 2 college football team in the regular season? Other then Michigan / Ohio state this year. Thanks Ohio State vs. Texas earlier in the season.

So...Reggie Bush Miami up 7-3 so far, a win and we pul within a game of the playoffs.
