Official who are we cheering for this weekend thread - WEEK 7

[Dr Rick Daris]

Hey Daris, should we be cheering for ISU this weekend? Even if they beat us, there's no way they go through the Big 12 with only 1 loss. We have a better chance of beating WVU because we'll be angry coming off a loss, and then we'll win the Big 12 for sure! Oh wait, I care about getting to the NC because I'm a real fan. And that means beating top 10 teams so our resume looks better than Oregon's should they go undefeated. But you keep your short sightedness and only think about the Big 12 trophy, Squawk Daris.

well obviously we want kstate to win all of their games and thus win the big12 by default and then play in the title game. that's obviously the goal.

but if kstate doesn't win all of their games then there is a decent chance that games like next weekends wvu-tech could go a long way in deciding whether or not we can at least win the big12 (which would still be amazing and feel great).

[Dr Rick Daris]

it's like you morons can't see the big12 championship forrest through the espn college game day trees. did everybody collectively slip and hit there head on something really hard within the last week?

I don't care about Gameday, relative to how much I care about the teams we play being ranked as high as possible.  That's what is most important to me.  WVU isn't losing to Tech, so we don't need to worry about it anyway.

who gives a crap though? i mean, what was ou ranked when we beat them? because i don't even remember. 6th? what if they were 3rd? what if they were 10th? what if they were 13th? who knows/who cares? not me.

Well, do you know where we are ranked now?  Cause that's what you get when beat highly ranked teams.  I mean, if you have no idea where we are ranked, and do not care, then I see your point.

at the end of the year, i want to win the big12 and i won't give a flying eff if we are ranked 5th or 7th when we do it. also, if we keep winning it won't matter if we beat a one loss 12th ranked wvu or an unbeaten third ranked wvu. it won't matter one bit.

I want to win the Natty #1, Big 12 is a backup goal.  Best chance to win the Natty involves WVU winning this weekend. 

PS: It won't matter one rough ridin' bit who we root for regardless of anything.

why is that?

Best chance to win the Natty involves WVU winning this weekend. 

why is that?

They would be a) a better win with less losses and b)I think our chances to win improve if they aren't coming off a loss

oh. so you slipped and head your head too? gotcha.

Best chance to win the Natty involves WVU winning this weekend. 

why is that?

We have a shot to make a bigger jump in the polls by beating a top 5 team than beating a top 15 (or so) team. If Oregon goes undefeated we will have to jump them at some point and this is probably our best chance.

PS: It won't matter one rough ridin' bit who we root for regardless of anything.

It's funny how overlooked this is. Although it does make games more fun when you're cheering whole heartedly for someone.

There is a fair chance Oregon goes undefeated.  Best case scenario for us, we go undefeated.  If this happens, Oregon will yell and scream that we wouldn't play them this year so they should get in.  We will need a win that is clearly better than anything they have to yell and scream about.  Oklahoma may be that win, but maybe not.  WVU is the hot talk of the country and could be that win.  The better our conference looks, the better that champion of it looks.  A conference is traditionally judged by the teams at the top (nobody talks SEC sucks invoking Kentucky and Vandy).  WVU will be a top Big 12 team and looks better not losing to Tech.

quick question-

why do you idiots think that we have to pass oregon to play in the national championship game?

[Stevesie60]

quick question-

why do you idiots think that we have to pass oregon to play in the national championship game?

Because Alabama or So. Carolina will go undefeated and get in, if Oregon is undefeated and we're undefeated, who goes in? Well if Oregon and the SEC team are #1 and #2, I'll give you a pro-tip: Not us.

[ChiComCat]

quick question-

why do you idiots think that we have to pass oregon to play in the national championship game?

Oregon is #2, only two teams get in.  Granted, the computers will like us more but the people will like Oregon.  Alabama is #1.  They don't seem likely to lose.  Then again, they probably need to play someone better than Michigan to seem awesome.  Computers will like Alabama plenty.

You're betting on the conference that has won the title the past 6 seasons or so not getting someone in?  I would take Alabama/South Carolina going undefeated over that.

Its starting to look like Oregon has a better chance to go undefeated than any sec team. The pac 12 had a bunch of average teams and one elite team. USC is garbage.

meanwhile you're betting on an undefeated big12 team not playing for the national championship. i mean, we could do this all day chicat.

also, i think that there is a whole lot of assuming that there will be a bunch of undefeated teams at the end of the season. guess what? there never are. i mean, i'm really supposed to believe that there is a chance that three of the four major conferences have an undefeated team at the end of the season? guess what i don't. go get an mri you guys i'm worried about both of your heads.

There's usually 2 before the bowl games. 3 would not be that far off the average. I want to beat the team that everyone thinks is the best because if we beat WVU in Morgantown, we shouldn't have to worry about any other games besides our own to win the Big 12. And everyone will know we are for real. There will be no way to down play the WVU win like they did Miami, OU, and every game last year. I want everyone to acknowledge us as a NC contender, because our team this year can handle it. I believe they won't get cocky and go through the motions against Tech, OSU, Baylor, and will prove that they are as good as the hype. Get excited everyone. This will be a year to remember. And we'll be able to remember it because we'll see Collin Klein and Arthur Brown holding up the Big 12 trophy and we'll all put a pic of it in our avatar or sig line and everyone will be happy and Aggieville will be packed, pak'd, and very, very rowdy on December 1st.

They haven't looked good at all this year. It took them all four quarters to beat Syracuse, and Utah. They lost to Stanford...Garbage

there are not usually 2 before the bowl games. there wasn't a single one last year. i'm putting in the referral right now. can it be traditional or do you need an open one?

Undefeated teams before bowls:

2011: LSU
2010: Auburn, TCU
2009: Alabama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, Boise St
2008: Utah
2007: Hawaii
2006: Ohio St, Boise St

[ChiComCat]

I'm not saying there will be a bunch of undefeated teams.  I am saying being WV's only loss would improve our bid for a National championship game in any situation, which is what I want.  Being WV/OU's only loss and then one of 2 losses for the other one would look better than beating teams that all end up 6-3 in conference or whatever.  Anyone arguing otherwise is Rick Daris or being stupid and maybe both.

To think that having 3 undefeated teams is an impossibility is ridiculous. Read ChiCat's post. And then move back to Lawrence.
