#3. I coul be wrong I think they may get beat in NC game,but I don't think anyone is going to crush them.

A thought I had driving to work this morning.

 

I am not a Big East fan or a UL fan however I want to raise a question.

For everyone talking about the Big East and how weak it is.

Let's take a peak at the Big Ten as well.

Louisville has or will play the same type schedule / conference that O$U and Michigan has and will play. Stay with me here for a min.

They are very similar very top heavy and weak at the bottom.

 

O$U has played a Texas team at the beginning of the season and will play Michigan at the end. Texas would play them much closer in game now then they did at the beginning. Other then those 2 teams who has OSU played? An overrated Iowa team, Defensively sound Cincy team (5-4), PSU (6-3) young and not real good, a Bowling Green team (4-5), Michigan State (4-5) we know the problems there, Indiana a young team on the raise but not there yet, A very bad Minn team (3-6), and they will play a bad (2-7) team Illinois, a bad (2-7) Northwestern Team, and finally the 2nd game of the Season in Michigan.

 

Louisville has played Kentucky (4-4) basketball season has started, Temple (1-8) HORRIBLE, Miami (5-3) probably one of the worst teams they have had in a while, Kansas State (5-4) don’t know much about them, Mid-Tennessee state (5-3) I heard a ESPN announcer say Play the real Tennessee team please, Defensively sound CIncy (5-4), weak Syracuse (3-6), of course WVU, and still play Rutgers, South Florida, Pittsburgh, and a bad UCONN team.

 

So basically OSU played a team at the beginning and a team at the end.

Louisville plays the teams all in November.

Just thinking about this and noticed how similar the two conferences are.

 

I have heard O$U fans talk about well “OSU has just played the schedule and can’t help it”. Well so has Louisville and both teams have won so far.

 

I guess my point is if OSU and Michigan should be up at the top based on the schedule they played, the conference they play in and their wins so should Louisville. Of course all 3 teams must win out and we know 1 of these teams have to lose.

Although I think if UF wins out they jump UL in the BCS whether they win out or not.

Let the BCS talk begin.

#4 They dont play enough quailty team.IMO

Your not a big UK fan?

Do not buy that propoganda. GT is actually part of the 18%

Another question, do they still have the agreement among the coaches poll guys to vote whoever is the loser in the BCS title game as #2 in the polls?

I think they'll jump to 3, but I think the BEast is really being hurt by their pitiful OOC schedules.

 

UofL, WVU, and Rutgers opponents from BCS conferences (rankings from sportsline 119):

 

#35 Maryland (WVU)

#41 Miami (UofL)

#70 UK (UofL)

#88 Illinois (Rutgers)

#89 UNC (Rutgers)

#97 Miss St. (WVU)

 

 

They need to get at least 1 decent OOC team on the schedule. It only takes one. (OSU/Texas, Michigan/ND, UT/Cal, Auburn/Wash St.)

Yes, both defenses looked bad.

More like both offenses were unstoppable.

Louisville could move up to #3 but imo this would depend on Florida and maybe Auburn and Texas and what they do. All of these three have what should be "cakewalks" this week and may run the score up for points in the polls. The Ohio State should remain at #1 and meatchicken should remain at #2. I don't see those two changing at all.

Where were Miami and Kansas St but a few years ago. You can't predict what teams will falter before you schedule them. How many BCS schools can say they even made the effort to go out and schedule some one big in OOC.

Maybe but WVU's 3 turnovers were killers, gave UL a big advantage.

OSU/Texas, Michigan/ND, UT/Cal, Auburn/Wash St.

 

If we're going on tried, I'll add UofL/Miami and Florida/FSU. No way of knowing Miami and FSU would be SO down this year.

 

I'm sure there's more but there's 12 teams that did it.

 

EDIT: Add USC/Arkansas

UL will be #3

#3 with a guarantee loss of #2 or #1,,which could put them at #2 and a chance to beat #1 and win the NC. Now...They must not only win out but win big and really hurt the remaining teams. They beat #3 and I almost would put them at #2 right now. Besides the nd team who else has the #2 team beat? And we know that nd has barely won against MSU and UCLA. Great job Cards!

#3 with a guarantee loss of #2 or #1,,which could put them at #2 and a chance to beat #1 and win the NC. !

 

What if #1 loses in a close one? Couldn't they drop to #2 still? If I'm a UL fan, I'm rooting hard for the Buckeyes that day.

Louisville will be 3rd, no doubt. Louisville will take WVU's human poll spot, and had a better computer average than them even before last night.
