nebraska football

  • Question:-Nebraska Football?
    Will Nebraska beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 National Championship? Nebraska Could have easily been a one loss team up there with Arkansas and Flordia and especialy Michigan. Doesnt anyone remember the Alamo bowl last year.... HAHAHAHAHA we won. The game with Texas we lost because of a bad call. The game against Oklahoma State we lost because we just stopted trying the second half. So you tell me who would win... By the way i want to know from all the Husker fans out there. RESTORE THE ORDER
    Good comment why would Tom Osborne Be the difference in winning or loseing. Nebraska had really good players... Thats how they won games.. Osborne just pumped them up and played the right plays

    Answer:-If they can rattle Paul Thompson and stuff the run,they'll have a great chance. If UNL can get off to one of them famous fast starts it will be like in 2003 when OU played for the Big 12 title. They lost to Kansas State 35-7.It was probably snyder's last great game.

    Let's Get Em' Blackshirts!!!Throw up them Crossbones and make this game like it used to be!!

    My prediction Nebraska wins 21-16 in a Hard Fought Ball Game.

  • Question:-Information on the players from the 1966 Nebraska football team?
    Where would I find a listing of players from the 1966 Nebraska football team and what they are now doing?

    Answer:-If you go to this website you can find the team roster for any season back to 1890, however it does not say where they are today it just gives you a team picture and the player's names, positions, and home towns.

  • Question:-Nebraska football?
    What would need to happen for the huskers to lose big 12 north title?

    Answer:-Nebraska would have to lose its last two games and Missouri and/or Kansas St. would have to win both its games.
  • Question:-Would you play Nebraska football or is it to boring?
    I like the Nebraska football program, but i heard alot about the state being boring and nothing to do so that's preventing me from going there. Should i play at the u of m gophers instead?

    Answer:-If you have a chance to play for Nebraska and you're considering Minnesota instead, you're nuts.
  • Question:-nebraska football?


    Answer:-Only cause there's nothing else to do in Nebraska...
  • Question:-NEBRASKA FOOTBALL!!!?
    Alright, in my opinion I think that it is safe to say, that the Blackshirts are back. A few questions still seemed to be answered, but do you think we have a shot against Oklahoma? It is in Memorial Stadium, and it's still up in the air if Bradford or Landry Jones will play?
    What do you think? Thoughts?

    Answer:-Nebraska needs to think about and play one game at a time. The OU Neb game will get here. Neb will have home field advantage but OU's offense is still very good, with or without Bradford. And OUs defense is getting a lot of hype also. Should be a good game, OSU fan here but I'll stick with my state. OU by 14.
  • Question:-Does anyone have Nebraska Cornhusker football tickets I could buy?
    I live in Iowa, but my family and I are HUGE Nebraska football fans. We want to go to the Iowa vs Nebraska football game on November 25, 2011. But we are having trouble finding tickets. We need 4 tickets not in the in zone. If you have season tickets and are willing to sell them for that game, that would be appreciated, or if you have tickets to this game and no longer want them, give me a price as well also. Please help me out!!

    Answer:-If I had any, I'd pay you to take them!
  • Question:-How good will Nebraska Cornhuskers football team be this year and in years to come?
    I am just wondering what everyone thinks the future of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team looks like and how well they are expected to do this year?

    Answer:-I think they will be well on their way with Bo there,as well as Osbourne back.It's gonna take time to repair the damage caused by that other idiot, but I really do think as early as next year they could make a run at the Big 12 north.
  • Question:-After the Nebraska Football coaching staff gets fired after the colorado game, who will be the replacements?
    I really believe that Calahan, Cosgrove, and others will see their way out the door at seasons end. But what coaches can bring Big Red football back to its glory days?

    Answer:-They need to get Bo Pellini back. they shouldn't have let him go to LSU in the first place. It might be Turner Gill though.
  • Question:-How good is the Nebraska Football team to be this upcoming season?
    What will their record be?, What bowl game will they go to?, How bout the Missouri Football team as well?, What will the Mizzou Tigers record be?, What bowl game will the tigers go to?

    Answer:-They will battle Kansas for North superiority. They will go to a good Bowl game, but short of a BCS game.

bcs

  • Question:-bcs???????????
    Ok everyone hates this question about the BS BCS but now who is in it?

    Sunday I believe it will be
    Top 3

    1. Mizzou/Kansas
    2. WVU
    3. Ohio State

    West Virginia has a game against a good uconn team. Ohio State is done. And the winner of the kansas and Mizzou plays Oklahoma. So do you think a possible Ohio State/West Virginia game.

    Answer:-It is possible to see a WVU vs OSU, but i dont think it will happen. I dont see the winner of Kansas/Mizzou losing the Big XII game to an over rated Oklahoma team. Hopefully we get a Kansas vs WVU game. I think it would be a great game to see.
  • Question:-How many Bowl games do non-bcs teams need to win in order to start getting a chance?
    I want to see interesting match-ups, I want to cheer on the underdog.

    But why doesn't the BCS want this to happen?

    I think its great when Utah beats Alabama, Boise ST beats Oklahoma.

    Now we have TCU demolishing ranked opponents, but they're not taken seriously at all?

    The BCS seems to me to be more of a popularity contest than any real system of a teams strength.

    Answer:-Non BCS teams will never get a chance in the current system. Overrated conferences like the SEC and Big 10 will always get too many teams represented in the BCS since they only play patsies outside of their own conference and then play it out umongst themselves giving the illusion that a very good record means they are deserving of a high ranking.

    Example Ohio State. They did have the guts to sign a big time game out of conference, but they lost, to a sub par USC team. Played out the rest of their schedule verses small schools in Ohio and other Big 10 schools. This allowed them to build a decent record and get a BCS bowl invite by winning a BCS conference, even if it is the Big 10.
  • Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
    Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?

    Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.

    Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).

    The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

  • Question:-Why do people complain about BCS during the years when SEC teams win the national championship?
    03, 06, 07, 08....Is it because the BCS national champions for those years had been beaten during the regular season while the other teams that won the BCS title went undefeated?

    Answer:-That may be one of the issues but people have complained about the BCS since its inception. They don't like the idea of a computer picking the National Champion. But it's funny that a team can be SEC bound after losing 1 or even 2 games yet it's the most competitive, talented, mythically BETTER conference in the nation. There are a lot of inequities in college football, it'll never be perfect.
  • Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
    For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?

    Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.

    The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.

    Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.

    It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.

    Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.

    Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.

    It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.

    And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.

    So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.

    Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
  • Question:-What is the lowest seed a BCS conference team has gotten in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament?
    My brother and I were debating this. I don't think they can get a seed lower than 13. I remember a couple of years ago Georgia won the SEC tournament and won the automatic bid and were seeded as a 13 seed. Has there ever been a BCS team that has been seeded a 14 or 15?

    Answer:-Georgia's #13 was the lowest seed ever from a Major-Conference.

    But, there could theoretically be lower seeds.

    The conferences are each assigned RPI rankings just like teams are at the end of the regular season based on how their teams fare against other conferences.

    If a Power Conference, like say the Pac-10, had a very low conference RPI, and the winner had an average record, like 16-15 or something, they could technically be a 16 seed.
  • Question:-What is the worst record team to mke the BCS?
    My friend is saying a 500 team has made a BCS bowl game before, and I am saying they have not. Maybe a 3 or 4 loss team, but not 500. Can anyone recall who has the worst record and still made a BCS game.

    Answer:-1993 Texas Tech 6-5 in the bowl alliance lost the Hancock bowl to Oklahoma 41-10

    1994 Texas Tech 6-5 lost the Cotton Bowl 55-14 to Southern Cal

    The BCS was formerly the Coallition then the Alliance before changing to the BCS in 1998

    2005 Florida State 8-4 lost in the Orange Bowl to Penn State 26-23 in 3 OT.
  • Question:-Can somebody please explain the conditions of the automatic BCS bowl berth?
    It seems to me that there is a rule if the conference champion does not finish in the top 16, a bowl bid is not guaranteed. Can anybody confirm this or fully explain the process? I am really hoping that the Big Least can be shut out of the BCS bowls this year and a deserving non-BCS conference team gets that bid. Is this possible?

    Answer:-win
  • Question:-Can the BCS teams no longer rely on an easy win when they play a FCS team?
    After the upset by Appalachian state, are the 1-A schools looking at their "easy wins" with just a little bit of nervousness now?

    Is the fact that the BCS (1-A) teams play easy schedules and get invites to bowl games hurting 1-A ball?

    Are the 1-AA teams getting better because they actually have to scrap to win their divisions and win real playoff games?

    I'd love to see the UMass Minutemen beat BC later this year. As the Minutemen lost to Appalachian State in the championship game last year, that may just be a possibility.

    Answer:-Well just look at Bobby Bowden of Florida State said in an interview. He basically said the top tier teams have actually stayed the same when it comes to players and getting recruits but with some many kids out there they can't take them all of offer them scholarships so they jump to another school to start instead of being a backup at his school for 2 or 3 years when they can immediately start somewhere else like in JuCo or other DIV 1A, DIV 1AA, or DIV II schools and still get s great shot at the NFL
  • Question:-How much is my Fossil BCS 2009 Oklahoma Championship watch worth?
    I ordered a BCS Championship watch from Fossil from last years game and instead of it stating Florida is the champion, it shows Oklahoma as the champion. It was even sent in a Florida BCS Champion tin. Obviously it was sent in mistake. Fossil is begging me for the watch back, probably due to embarassment. How much would a watch like this be worth?

    Answer:-Being that it never happened its worthless!

    Answer:-Yes. i live in oklahoma.. it was a 5.6
  • Question:-Has anyone heard about the earthquake tremors in Jones oklahoma all week ?If there small would they keep goin?
    To become a bigger earthquake?

    Answer:-Where did you hear this? Even very small earthquakes are registered on the U.S. Geological Survey site, and I see nothing in Oklahoma this week.

    And no, by the way, small quakes are not predictive of a larger one coming. Individual earthquakes are very difficult to predict.
  • Question:-An Oklahoma earthquake rocked the state?
    who felt it in other states
    An Oklahoma earthquake rocked the state for what felt like a minute, but may have been 40 or 45 seconds. Shortly after the end of the Oklahoma State University vs. Kansas St. NCAA football game ended, the world started shaking in Stillwater, Oklahoma City, Tulsa and elsewhere throughout the state. The official time was 10:53:10 p.m.

big 12

  • Question:-What would happen in the Big 12 conference if Nebraska and Missouri did go to the Big 10 conference?
    If Nebraska and Missouri did go to the Big 10 what 2 other schools would take their place in the Big 12. Personally I hope neither one of those schools will jump ship to another conference any time soon.

    Answer:-Probably TCU and Utah, maybe New Mexico
  • Question:-How come the Big 12 conference top teams don't play a lick of defense?
    The Big 12 top team is all offense and no defense. I mean looked at OU today, Texas score a lot of points on Mizzou but they allowed to much yardages and to many points against them. Also TTU is all offense and Texas A&M stayed close to TTU until the 4th quarter, wow al offense and no defense. Will the Big 12 top teams win the BCS title with these kind of defense? I mean no defense, it's all offense.

    Answer:-Three things to consider:
    -The QB's playing very well

    -The defenders are missing tons of tackles (poor form and horrible pursuit angles)

    -The offenses are pass happy, which prolongs the game when the clock stops on every incomplete pass... this means more possessions and plays per game
  • Question:-Is the Big 12 really the 5th best college football conference?
    This is according SI.Com. I don't agree. They have the PAC 10, Big east and ACC ahead of the Big 12.
    Excuse me, not the big east but the Big 10 ahead of the Big 12.

    Answer:-Well, I"m a kansas fan and as much as i hate the fact that the BCS writers just adore the SEC...there is no way around the fact. The SEC is the best conference is college football. I would have to agree with Kirk Herbstriet though that the Big 12 is the second best. Think about it...Kansas, MIssouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech are all ranked in the top 25. Not to mention...can you think of any team that is easy to beat on the road in the big 12 aside from iowa state??? I have to believe that the big 12 is the second best conference in NCAA football
  • Question:-In what year will the current Big 12 teams actually leave the Big 12?
    I remember that when the SWC broke up, we knew it was going to happen for a few years. How long will it be before the Big 12 teams play in their new conferences?

    Answer:-more than likely before the 2011 season unless the following happen
    1) teams are let out of contractual agreements to play each other
    2) court injunctions
  • Question:-Who are the marketing partners for the Big 12 and Mountain West conferences?
    For example, the Big Ten partners with Learfield and the Big East partners with ISP. I cannot find who has partnered with the Big 12 and M.W. conference. Any help is sincerely appreciated!

    Answer:-I think its posted on the Big 12 web site
    Good luck
  • Question:-What will happen if Nebraska upsets Texas in the Big 12 championship game?
    Ok...I don't need anyone saying "they won't!" That is why I used the term "upset". And yes it could and has happened. The majority of the Big 12 championship games over the last few years have been upsets. I want to know what you think would happen to the bowl picture and the ranking. Where would Texas fall to and what bowl game would they go to? What about Nebraska?
    I meant the majority of the Big 12 champs have gone on to be upset in their bowl game.

    Answer:-If (and that's a big if) Nebraska beat Texas, then Nebraska is going to the Fiesta Bowl, and I'm sure Texas will still get a BCS Bowl invite. If Texas loses, and the SEC Championship Game between Florida and Bama is reasonably close, I think they'll re-play for the NC.

big 12

  • Question:-What would happen in the Big 12 conference if Nebraska and Missouri did go to the Big 10 conference?
    If Nebraska and Missouri did go to the Big 10 what 2 other schools would take their place in the Big 12. Personally I hope neither one of those schools will jump ship to another conference any time soon.

    Answer:-Probably TCU and Utah, maybe New Mexico
  • Question:-How come the Big 12 conference top teams don't play a lick of defense?
    The Big 12 top team is all offense and no defense. I mean looked at OU today, Texas score a lot of points on Mizzou but they allowed to much yardages and to many points against them. Also TTU is all offense and Texas A&M stayed close to TTU until the 4th quarter, wow al offense and no defense. Will the Big 12 top teams win the BCS title with these kind of defense? I mean no defense, it's all offense.

    Answer:-Three things to consider:
    -The QB's playing very well

    -The defenders are missing tons of tackles (poor form and horrible pursuit angles)

    -The offenses are pass happy, which prolongs the game when the clock stops on every incomplete pass... this means more possessions and plays per game
  • Question:-Is the Big 12 really the 5th best college football conference?
    This is according SI.Com. I don't agree. They have the PAC 10, Big east and ACC ahead of the Big 12.
    Excuse me, not the big east but the Big 10 ahead of the Big 12.

    Answer:-Well, I"m a kansas fan and as much as i hate the fact that the BCS writers just adore the SEC...there is no way around the fact. The SEC is the best conference is college football. I would have to agree with Kirk Herbstriet though that the Big 12 is the second best. Think about it...Kansas, MIssouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech are all ranked in the top 25. Not to mention...can you think of any team that is easy to beat on the road in the big 12 aside from iowa state??? I have to believe that the big 12 is the second best conference in NCAA football
  • Question:-In what year will the current Big 12 teams actually leave the Big 12?
    I remember that when the SWC broke up, we knew it was going to happen for a few years. How long will it be before the Big 12 teams play in their new conferences?

    Answer:-more than likely before the 2011 season unless the following happen
    1) teams are let out of contractual agreements to play each other
    2) court injunctions
  • Question:-Who are the marketing partners for the Big 12 and Mountain West conferences?
    For example, the Big Ten partners with Learfield and the Big East partners with ISP. I cannot find who has partnered with the Big 12 and M.W. conference. Any help is sincerely appreciated!

    Answer:-I think its posted on the Big 12 web site
    Good luck
  • Question:-What will happen if Nebraska upsets Texas in the Big 12 championship game?
    Ok...I don't need anyone saying "they won't!" That is why I used the term "upset". And yes it could and has happened. The majority of the Big 12 championship games over the last few years have been upsets. I want to know what you think would happen to the bowl picture and the ranking. Where would Texas fall to and what bowl game would they go to? What about Nebraska?
    I meant the majority of the Big 12 champs have gone on to be upset in their bowl game.

    Answer:-If (and that's a big if) Nebraska beat Texas, then Nebraska is going to the Fiesta Bowl, and I'm sure Texas will still get a BCS Bowl invite. If Texas loses, and the SEC Championship Game between Florida and Bama is reasonably close, I think they'll re-play for the NC.

bcs

  • Question:-bcs???????????
    Ok everyone hates this question about the BS BCS but now who is in it?

    Sunday I believe it will be
    Top 3

    1. Mizzou/Kansas
    2. WVU
    3. Ohio State

    West Virginia has a game against a good uconn team. Ohio State is done. And the winner of the kansas and Mizzou plays Oklahoma. So do you think a possible Ohio State/West Virginia game.

    Answer:-It is possible to see a WVU vs OSU, but i dont think it will happen. I dont see the winner of Kansas/Mizzou losing the Big XII game to an over rated Oklahoma team. Hopefully we get a Kansas vs WVU game. I think it would be a great game to see.
  • Question:-How many Bowl games do non-bcs teams need to win in order to start getting a chance?
    I want to see interesting match-ups, I want to cheer on the underdog.

    But why doesn't the BCS want this to happen?

    I think its great when Utah beats Alabama, Boise ST beats Oklahoma.

    Now we have TCU demolishing ranked opponents, but they're not taken seriously at all?

    The BCS seems to me to be more of a popularity contest than any real system of a teams strength.

    Answer:-Non BCS teams will never get a chance in the current system. Overrated conferences like the SEC and Big 10 will always get too many teams represented in the BCS since they only play patsies outside of their own conference and then play it out umongst themselves giving the illusion that a very good record means they are deserving of a high ranking.

    Example Ohio State. They did have the guts to sign a big time game out of conference, but they lost, to a sub par USC team. Played out the rest of their schedule verses small schools in Ohio and other Big 10 schools. This allowed them to build a decent record and get a BCS bowl invite by winning a BCS conference, even if it is the Big 10.
  • Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
    Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?

    Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.

    Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).

    The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

  • Question:-Why do people complain about BCS during the years when SEC teams win the national championship?
    03, 06, 07, 08....Is it because the BCS national champions for those years had been beaten during the regular season while the other teams that won the BCS title went undefeated?

    Answer:-That may be one of the issues but people have complained about the BCS since its inception. They don't like the idea of a computer picking the National Champion. But it's funny that a team can be SEC bound after losing 1 or even 2 games yet it's the most competitive, talented, mythically BETTER conference in the nation. There are a lot of inequities in college football, it'll never be perfect.
  • Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
    For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?

    Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.

    The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.

    Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.

    It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.

    Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.

    Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.

    It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.

    And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.

    So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.

    Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
  • Question:-What is the lowest seed a BCS conference team has gotten in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament?
    My brother and I were debating this. I don't think they can get a seed lower than 13. I remember a couple of years ago Georgia won the SEC tournament and won the automatic bid and were seeded as a 13 seed. Has there ever been a BCS team that has been seeded a 14 or 15?

    Answer:-Georgia's #13 was the lowest seed ever from a Major-Conference.

    But, there could theoretically be lower seeds.

    The conferences are each assigned RPI rankings just like teams are at the end of the regular season based on how their teams fare against other conferences.

    If a Power Conference, like say the Pac-10, had a very low conference RPI, and the winner had an average record, like 16-15 or something, they could technically be a 16 seed.
  • Question:-What is the worst record team to mke the BCS?
    My friend is saying a 500 team has made a BCS bowl game before, and I am saying they have not. Maybe a 3 or 4 loss team, but not 500. Can anyone recall who has the worst record and still made a BCS game.

    Answer:-1993 Texas Tech 6-5 in the bowl alliance lost the Hancock bowl to Oklahoma 41-10

    1994 Texas Tech 6-5 lost the Cotton Bowl 55-14 to Southern Cal

    The BCS was formerly the Coallition then the Alliance before changing to the BCS in 1998

    2005 Florida State 8-4 lost in the Orange Bowl to Penn State 26-23 in 3 OT.
  • Question:-Can somebody please explain the conditions of the automatic BCS bowl berth?
    It seems to me that there is a rule if the conference champion does not finish in the top 16, a bowl bid is not guaranteed. Can anybody confirm this or fully explain the process? I am really hoping that the Big Least can be shut out of the BCS bowls this year and a deserving non-BCS conference team gets that bid. Is this possible?

    Answer:-win
  • Question:-Can the BCS teams no longer rely on an easy win when they play a FCS team?
    After the upset by Appalachian state, are the 1-A schools looking at their "easy wins" with just a little bit of nervousness now?

    Is the fact that the BCS (1-A) teams play easy schedules and get invites to bowl games hurting 1-A ball?

    Are the 1-AA teams getting better because they actually have to scrap to win their divisions and win real playoff games?

    I'd love to see the UMass Minutemen beat BC later this year. As the Minutemen lost to Appalachian State in the championship game last year, that may just be a possibility.

    Answer:-Well just look at Bobby Bowden of Florida State said in an interview. He basically said the top tier teams have actually stayed the same when it comes to players and getting recruits but with some many kids out there they can't take them all of offer them scholarships so they jump to another school to start instead of being a backup at his school for 2 or 3 years when they can immediately start somewhere else like in JuCo or other DIV 1A, DIV 1AA, or DIV II schools and still get s great shot at the NFL
  • Question:-How much is my Fossil BCS 2009 Oklahoma Championship watch worth?
    I ordered a BCS Championship watch from Fossil from last years game and instead of it stating Florida is the champion, it shows Oklahoma as the champion. It was even sent in a Florida BCS Champion tin. Obviously it was sent in mistake. Fossil is begging me for the watch back, probably due to embarassment. How much would a watch like this be worth?

    Answer:-Being that it never happened its worthless!

demarco murray

  • Question:-Should I start Jackie Battle or DeMarco Murray in Week 7?
    Since Felix Jones is out and Cedric Benson is on a Bye and might even get suspened, should I pick up Jackie Battle or Demarco Murray? Who should I start and why? Thanks.

    My thoughts are Murray is facing the 30th Ranked Run D and Battle is facing the 29th Ranked run D
    Battle has more longterm upside if he starts the job, but Murray is on the better team. The cowboys dont run that much though. Whats your thoughts?

    Answer:-
  • Question:-Were you impressed by Demarco Murray today?
    I was very impressed. I know, I know- The Rams have the worst rush defense in the league. But keep in mind, they are still an NFL defense, and Demarco Murray is still only a rookie. Not only that, he accomplished something that Tony Dorsett, Herschel Walker and even Emmitt Smith never could, and that is rush for over 250 yards in a single game.

    Answer:-
  • Question:-Should I drop Ryan Torain and pick up DeMarco Murray?
    Felix Jones is supposed to be injured for awhile. Should I pick up DeMarco Murray and drop Ryan Torain?

    Answer:-
  • Question:-Will Dez Bryant and Demarco Murray get along?
    The Dallas Cowboys now have two pretty big stars from Oklahoma. Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State and Demarco Murray, Oklahoma. Do you think they'll get along fine?

    Answer:-Of course, if anything it'll help them to become friends. Maybe they'll compete against each other and it'll make them both play better.
  • Question:-Should I start Jonathan Stewart or Demarco Murray?
    Felix Jones is out and Gore is on a bye. I'm starting Turner and Jackie Battle and thinking about putting stewart or murray in the flex.
    Thanks

    Answer:-
  • Question:-should I pick up demarco murray or maurice morris?
    With news that Best is likely out for the remainder of the season, Morris could be a huge pickup. I'm currently in 2nd place and playing the #1 team this week. We both need a RB to replace bye week RB. Murray and Morris are stilll available. Who's got the better upside?

    Answer:-
  • Question:-Why is Tashard Choice not starting over Demarco Murray?
    I thought Choice was the #2 back, but everything I see says Murray is starting. Is choice hurt or did he get moved down in the depth chart? Do you think he'll still see enough playing time to start in fantasy?

    Answer:-
  • Question:-on my yahoo fantasy, should I drop Cedric Benson and add DeMarco Murray from the cowboys?
    Benson had a BYE week this week and is suspended next week. Murray put up 253 yards in the game today and one TD but who knows if he will do that next week. I have Chris Johnson and he is giving me like 4 points and other RBs are giving 12+ each game. WR are Sydney Rice and Eric Decker, they aren't helping.

    Answer:-
  • Question:-Where will DeMarco Murray go in the draft?
    Murray was great as a Freshman, but injured a lot as a Soph. and Jr. He was healthy as a Sr, but no longer seems to have the great quickness and burst that he once had.

    He is one of the best receiving RB's we have seen come out in the last few years though.

    What round do you think he will go?

    Answer:-Round one, unless he becomes another Jason White with the injuries.
  • Question:-Should Demarco Murray stay the starting RB for the rest of the season?
    It may only be one game, but he was extremely productive
