16-7 is not ALMOST losing.

17-10

17-10

in 2005, both stanford and uab were 5-6.

uab beat: troy, jacksonville st, rice, memphis and utep.
stanford beat: navy, washington st, arizona, arizona st, and oregon st.


that 2005 ND/Stanford game was fun to watch... neither team could stop each other, lol

UAB=Much better than Stanford.

Losing to or winning a close one to either team is an embarrassment on any level. UT or ND

Saying I almost lost to a better crap team is silly.

Great point, I didn't look at it that way either!

the furd choked that game to ND. walt harris conservative playcalling cost them a victory against ND, USC, and UCLA that year.

i like having a conference where every team plays every other team every year.

Yeah but it introduces an inequity. You could argue one or the other is disadvantaged but the bottom line is they aren't the same. My HS team played only 3 conference teams. We played all three at home and away every year. I like that system...

I'd say the conf CG helps in that it sways voters late and it hurts in that you risk another loss. I'm not sure if UF gets the shot last year without beating Arkansas in Atl.

your conference didn't have to expand. they took the $$$$$$$. Why should those conferences that favor traditional matchups have to suffer because the sec wanted more TV money? You created the supposed inequality. We should have to add Colorado or BYU or someother team to the pac-10 just because the SEC made the mistake before us?

And also i'd argue that for, say teams from the SEC west or Big 12 south, that it is much easier for those teams to win their conference because they could easily miss most of the traditional powers until the championship game. You think nebraska would have any chance to win the Big 12 if it was in the same division as Texas or Oklahoma? How about Arkansas?

Then why doesn't it happen in the SEC. and Arkansas played LSU and Auburn, that is no excuse...

Anybody getting tired of the "Whos the better conference" discussion? Its all over the college football boards. I think its safe to say that everybody is getting anxious about the upcoming season.

It is wide open this year, I still say USC loses to someone they shouldn't.
