yea let's back into the national championship because the schedule was so tough! The big ten was so tough this year. Not to mention Akron U, Kent state, and youngstown state. What top 10 team did they beat this year?

So what place is your team in and how many losses do they have? And if that team is in the SEC how many times did they get beat by an unranked team? :jestera:

GO BUCKS !!

What top 10 team did WV beat? Missouri (besides a Kansas team who didn't play ANYBODY)? How about Georgia? Kansas? Va Tech?

I believe # 7 LSU is the highest ranked team in the BCS standings to beat a top 10 team.

I honestly don't know who the top 2 teams in the country are, but if you are going to pick on Ohio State's schedule, you have to look at the other schedules of the top ranked teams. Before Illinois, Ohio State looked as good or better than any team in the country. They didn't overly impress anyone the last two weeks, however. I would never have picked WV to be in the title game, but they seem to be on a roll lately.

[obie0130]

hartville tiger... so bitter.

your team still lost to a 1AA team, among others, as well as got their as# kicked at home to our buckeyes. all this AFTER the seniors came back for 2 reasons: 1. beat OSU. 2. National Title. i would say they went 0 for 2.

sucks to be a UM fan.

exactly. missouri has not beaten ANYONE who is currently ranked, except for an overrated kansas squad (and look at kansas' schedule.....VERY weak).

wvu has beaten NO top ten teams. the highest ranked team they've beaten is cincy at 20.

georgia? no

virginia tech? no.

usc? no.

but i guess we should put a two loss lsu team, who's struggled more than they should have, in the championship.

you'll have to excuse hartville tiger. he really doesn't have a clue.

[austinsm11]

LSU is lucky they don't have to play Georgia. They might be the toughest team right now.

[crackerman]

Some thoughts:

1) I really feel that Mizzou will lose to Oklahoma (thus OSU should be playing for National Title).

2) Georgia will make a BCS Game because not being in the SEC title game means they have secured only 2 losses on the season so they will get in as the 2nd SEC school.

3) Huge win for Hawaii over Boise St. moving the only undefeated team in college football from #15 to #12 in the BCS standings. A win over University of Washington next week should keep the Warriors at #12 or higher. What does that mean? If Hawaii is #12 or higher they are assured a BCS Bowl Game. I really feel they will cause match-up problems and put up at least 40 on anyone. I would assume they would go to the Fiesta Bowl (less travel involved unless OSU gets into title game which you could then have USC versus Hawaii in the Rose)

4) I have a problem with Kansas staying so high at #5 in the BCS and coaches polls. I feel that they deserved what they had until they lost. Anyone who watched that game versus Missouri saw that the score was not indicative of the game and they are very poor on defense. On defense, they are very slow, their defenders stop their feet at all times (ultimate no-no on defense) and they might of been the worst tackling team I have seen in the past 10 years in college football (they had Missouri at least 4 times stopped for at least a 7 yard loss that ended up being at least a 3 yard gain).

5) My Bowl Game predictions based off of Va Tech, Okla, USC (has to beat UCLA) and LSU winning their conference titles:

Rose: USC Vs. Hawaii
Fiesta: Oklahoma VS. Georgia
Orange: Va Tech VS LSU
Sugar: WVU VS OSU

One note, i do not know which Bowls have 1st choice after the Sugar. If it is the Rose, I would think they would want a USC-LSU matchup, which would probably send Hawaii like Boise last year to the Fiesta to face the Big-12 Champ.

If Missouri loses to Oklahoma the BCS Bowls will have an interesting choice. DO they take a Missouri Team who finishes with 2 losses and beat Kansas...or do they take Kansas who only has one loss but lost to Missouri...or a red hot Georgia?

6) This will be the best non-BCS bowl series in a long time. Many of the usual powers and several current powers will be playing in non BCS bowl games including: (Based off of my predictions)

Florida
Michigan
Boston College
Arizona St
Tennesee
Illinois
Clemson
Wisconsin
Texas
Auburn
Boise St.
Missouri
Kansas

7) Worst part of the BCS? UCLA could make it into a BCS Bowl game at 7-5. Yes thats true. If UCLA beats USC and Arizona beats Arizona St. then there would be a 3-way tie for 1st in the Pac-10 and UCLA would win the tie-breaker. This is awful. 2 things could happen for UCLA this weekend, they could end up 7-5 and make the freaking Rose Bowl or they could lose and end up 6-6 and not make a bowl game at all. That is awful. I hope they win and Arizona St losses so it shows what a crock the BCS is.

8) Wosrt part #2: If Hawaii losses to Washington, look out. There would be an extra spot to fill which would probably include either Arizona St, Illinois or Clemson. If that happens I assume Arizona St. VS Oklahoma in the Fiesta

Don't you have some corn to pick, or some pies to bake or whatever the hell else they do in freaking Hartville Amish-land?

[monte81]

A playoff series with the top 8 teams has been overdue fo long time! Georgia is probably the scariest team in the nation right now but WVU is the hottest!!

Great match-ups this year as well as years to come! With only 15-25 schollies a year parity will become more evident. Great players are playing in more non top 20 teams whichs makes them better each year. Who would think that Mizzu would have more talent than Tennesse, UM, Nebraska, PSU, texas, etc,... its the recruiting is getting hectic and harder to land the best players

[TigerCoach]

Looks like a West Virginia vs Ohio State matchup for the National Title, assuming Oklahoma beats Mizzu. Just think of the wiskey flowing at that pre-game! LOL

[npaflas]

We don't need to be jinx's.

If you honestly think OSU will win a national title then you've been in that FLA sun too long Carl E.

Not everyone in hartville is amish. At least we don't beat up pizza delivery boy's like they do in north canton.

[CarlE]

If you honestly think OSU will win a national title then you've been in that FLA sun too long Carl E.

They will if they get to play WVU for it, my friend. And I guess that is my point. I think there are four or five teams below the top four better than the top four that won't get an opportunity to play. That's why I'm for a play-off.

[Obie Wan]

I dunno. I'm not sure there are 4 or 5 real good teams in the country, period. Hell, I'm not sure there's one.

[CarlE]

I dunno. I'm not sure there are 4 or 5 real good teams in the country, period. Hell, I'm not sure there's one.

I don't disagree. I just think there are seven or eight better than OSU. And it PAINS me to say that.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

OSU better hope those roses don't turn to sugar. West Virginia will kill the Bucks...and probably kill Mizzou as well. Who can stop Devine, White, and Slaton?

I believe S. Florida did earlier this season. :scratchchin:

Um, South Florida. Geez, Keno THINK before you speak my Playboy friend.

[crackerman]

Actually Keno is right on this one because Pat White did not play in the game versus South Florida at all, he was injured the week before. You guys know I hate to give Keno any credit but he is actually right on this one.

ahhh ok, i stand corrected...he got hurt in the middle of the game. He got hurt the week before, i thought he didnt play at all. he didnt play the whole game though.

[CarlE]

That's RIGHT, big man. He got hurt in the middle of the game. The bad-asses from Florida took care of bizness!! Ha Ha.

Hey those bad asses from South Florida lost to UCONN and only beat Elon by 15. Isnt Elon a disney character?..lol

[massillon catholic]

Elon doesnt even have football do they?

[crackerman]

I guess they do because according to South Florida's schedule they beat Elon in week one 28-13

Let's just hope he picks against OSU in the title game.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

austinsm11,

The Georgia Bulldogs may be playing Ohio State. We'll see what happens...everyone on MassillonProud.com knows I don't like OSU and I won't mind the entire site turning on me if it's the Bulldogs playing OSU...you can't make others happy all the time and I'll be all right. But I won't mind seeing another Buckeye failure in the BCS title game.........it will cure the pain of yet ANOTHER Michigan loss I still haven't gotten over and maybe never will.

[npaflas]

and after next year you won't get over it neither.

[CATS44]

It will be OSU-LSU.

[austinsm11]

Trust me, if you pick Georgia or anyone else over OSU, NOBODY will turn on you.....we will thank you.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

austinsm11,

Massillon fans have an itch against bulldogs. Believe me when I tell you. Give me a list of MassillonProud.com posters and I will tell you with my heart and soul who detests bulldogs more than anything...you watch. Give me five posters and I'll tell you who would be #1 and #2.

I know Georgia fans will be watching hard......

Really? Who?

Seeing that most on here are either OSU or Michigan fans, I found it hard to believe that there are 5 posters on this site who detest Georgia more than either OSU or Michigan. (A few might dislike Notre Dame more)

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

austinsm11

Let me give you names as to which posters detest bulldogs: longtimefirsttime, MTown, monte81, Kamd50, and Xtiger. They all will be cheering for Ohio State hard! And even harder because of Georgia's mascot!

If Georgia plays Ohio State and Georgia wins...I am going to give them all a down home, good ole, awesome, loving, southern, hospitality, approachable, royal, priceless, tremendous, outstanding, nice Georgia cooking! And I won't forget to bring the grilled chicken I once had in the Massillon pressbox!

Have a good time!

You don't have to give me any. I will switch places with you. Knowing you don't need to be in OHIO.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

npaflas,

I don't need to be in Ohio. You're crazy. The only thing I don't like about Ohio...is the fact that Tressel has so dominated Michigan and took their national title aspirations away from them so many times, it's so frustrating and I get moody just even thinking about it.

I need Ohio State to lose to relive my moodiness.

[Benchboss1]

If they play LSU or USC, they will!

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Benchboss1,

I can't freakin' believe what I posted! I mean to say "relieve my moodiness", not relive it!

Gosh, what in Dennis Miller's name is wrong with me today?

By the way i am down here in Georgia.And OHIO STATE IS PLAYING LSU.

[TigerBob75]

I believe that this season is proving to the big-wigs that there should be a playoff in this D1 college football outfit. Is there any other sport that doesn't have a playoff? Come on high and mighties, stop making things so complicated.

[Go Hooter Go]

I'll be the first to say this, IF LSU BEATS OSU, Michigan will go after Les Miles even harder!

A proven Coach that has proven that he can beat Tressel.

I don't buy the statement that Miles is staying at LSU...

[tiger74]

umm hey go hooter go tressell has already beaten miles. they beat oklahoma state a few years back!!!! that statement is like when osu picked coop because he beat michigan in the rose bowl. Us buck fans know how that turned out. anyways GO BUCKS!!!!

[CarlE]

Um, Einstein he's already agreed in principle to an extension at LSU. God, do you people ever READ anything before you make moronic posts?

[austinsm11]

Funny how that little statement before the game would have quited down alot of rumors. I'm still not 100% convinced he will stay, although it seems like something big happened for him to be considering LSU still. Perhaps Carr has something to do with it.

[CarlE]

By the way, Keno. I'll give you Michigan and 30 against Florida. That will be an absolute anihilation. Tebow may have 500 total yards alone against those guys.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

CarlE,

I will still stand behind Michigan. Michigan will beat Florida unlike Ohio State failed to.

And LSU will shove Ohio State down their esophagus for lunch! GO TIGERS!

[SuperBran]

CarlE,

I will still stand behind Michigan. Michigan will beat Florida unlike Ohio State failed to.


that still doesn't change the fact that michigan still sucks.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

SuperBran,

Ohio State is just in a period right now where they are just better than Michigan. But it will change...I don't know when but it will.

Michigan will beat Florida and LSU will eat Ohio State for dinner! GO TIGERS!

[CarlE]

Keno, I swear to God Tim Tebow will outscore Michigan in this game. You really are clueless my friend.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

CarlE,

We'll see about Tebow. Hopefully Mike Hart is ready to go.

[npaflas]

Yes Mike Hart will be ready to go home.

[proud to be]

By the way i am down here in Georgia.And OHIO STATE IS PLAYING LSU.

I'm in Georgia this week too, and Dawg fans are PISSED!!!!!

[CarlE]

I'm in Georgia this week too, and Dawg fans are PISSED!!!!!

Oh man I'll bet they are going NUTS on sports talk. Buck Belue and the other guy must be having heart palpitations about right now. Tell them I said their coach is a whiney-ass baby.

By the way, are you going to be there next week? I'll be in Buckhead. Drinks on me if you're in town.

[crackerman]

When you look at the numbers Georgia really doesnt have an argument:

LSU Beat 6 ranked opponents:

Va Tech by 41
South Carolina by 12
Florida by 4
Auburn by 6
Alabama by 7
Tennessee by 7

Georgia Beat 4 Ranked opponents:

Alabama by 3
Florida by 12
Auburn by 25
Kentucky by 11

LSU Beat both teams that beat Georgia (Tennessee beat UGA by 21). Georgia only beat one team that beat LSU.

LSU was SEC Champs. They also did it with 4 starters out with injuries in that game including the nations best defensive lineman.

LSU beat the Number 3 Ranked Team (VA Tech) by 41 points.

UGA I am sure was haunted in voting all year after Mark Reicht Sent his entire team onto the field to get a 15 yard penalty versus Florida after their first score. Its one thing to try to moitvate your team but I GUARANTEE that coaches viewed that as him showing up the other team and thus cost him votes.

UGA's 2 losses came to teams unranked at the time they played. LSU had a loss to a team ranked #17 at the time.

[austinsm11]

Crackerman, I don't really have an issue with Georgia not making it. They didn't win their conference and it seems LSU has bigger wins.

What I just don't get is why in the heck Georgia got more votes the week before when everyone knew they wouldn't be in the conference championship game. Same thing with Va Tech. They get drilled by LSU and are ranked ahead of LSU. They then defeat a higher ranked opp. than LSU and drop behind them. Why wasn't Va Tech ranked behind LSU to start?

I think if voters did the job they should have last week, there would be less complaints about LSU jumping teams and things don't look "as bad" for the BCS.

Good point about the Georgia/Florida game. I hadn't thought of that.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

crackerman,

When everything is said and done, Leslie Edwin Miles is leading his LSU Tigers to a home championship game against Ohio State. And he will be a champion after January 7th.

[SuperBran]

Leslie Edwin Miles

leslie is a very pretty name.

[Dr Strangemind]

leslie is a very pretty name.

just don't call him Shirley!

[dataintsmiff]

Don't you have some corn to pick, or some pies to bake or whatever the hell else they do in freaking Hartville Amish-land?

Now that's funny....Aunt Bea, get my bean pies ready!!!

[dataintsmiff]

OSU better hope those roses don't turn to sugar. West Virginia will kill the Bucks...and probably kill Mizzou as well. Who can stop Devine, White, and Slaton?

Uh.....I guess Pitt? Nice try on the prediction though!!

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Dr. Strangemind and Super Bran,

Les Miles is not feminine. He's masculine. He was raised with the name mentioned out of Elyria, Ohio and is a loving father of two daughters (Kathryn and Macy) and two sons (Leslie and Benjamin) and has a loving wife in Kathy.

GO TIGERS! Beat Ohio State!

[npaflas]

GO BUCKEYES

BEAT LSU

GO BUCKS..................STOMP LSU!!

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Go Hooter Go,

Don't you ever call CarlE what you just called him! CarlE is one of the most knowledgeable posters on MassillonProud.com!!

[Go Hooter Go]

What did I call him exactly? An ass?

I am in no way saying that he isn't very knowledgeable, but to attempt to criticize my post by accusing me of not reading before posting in result is a moronic post, but when indeed, I had already explained my self in the same post in reference to the statement issued by Les Miles that "I didn't read" accusation.

[MUCSteelers5xSuperChamp]

Go Hooter Go,

Posters on here have never committed any name-calling infractions. What CarlE was saying was that Miles had accepted his contract extension. If you want to do some name-calling, go do it at sites which favor that kind of brash, arrogant, languishing, trashy, immature, malicious, obsessive, rude, egregious mentality.

This is a site with a peaceful, intuitive, tremendous, terrific, sweet, bright, united, royal, gracious, humane mentality.
