Coach Superior actually made the right decision.
What exactly could he accomplish at FL that he already hasn't done? At best were he to return there he's looking at some decent seasons but I doubt seriously he could do better than his first tenure there. The SEC began to catch up to his fun 'n' gun offense his last few seasons anyways. He would no longer be able to dominate like his earlier years at Florida. He made the smart move.
Florida should look at some other successful coaches. In order:
1)Urban Meyer(Utah) 2)Jeff Tedford(Cal) 3)Bobby Petrino(Louisville) 4)Dan Hawkins(Boise St.)
All of the above coaches have taken less talent and made good football teams anyways. Could you imagine how they'd do given the talent pool Florida can pull in?

I don't really know how to call this game honestly. I want Oklahoma to lose obviously.
Here you have an A&M team who whipped Okie st. and Okie St. almost took OU to OT. BUT A&M LOST to Baylor of all teams and got beat pretty badly by Utah. A&M may have the intangible advantages with this game being at home and the fact that they want to show that the Baylor loss was a fluke and gain some respect back. Also A&M has the added incentive of revenge from last year's embarrassment. Which A&M team will show up?
My Auburn homer prediction.....
TAMU 24 OU 21

Utah will beat CSU. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Utah's toughest game left will be against BYU. That's not saying much. If BYU doesn't trip them up no one will until they reach a BCS bowl game and even then depending on who they play they could stilll win. If they manage to get WVA in the fiesta that will blow. Both for them and everyone else. Utah will not earn respect from the BCS by beating WVA. You have to play a top 10 team like Texas, Miami, etc.

People trying to prove there intellect on a college football message board, thats funny. we have a Nebraska groupie that probably dropped out of HS, A Texas A&M guy who probably flunked out his freshman year and hangs out with the other Red Neck KKK members somewhere in central Texas, a Lobo who probably hangs out at starbucks to do his philosophy homework but cant spell (typical) and an Auburn guy who is hooked on phonics and is probably a jr high English Teacher in the illiterate state of Alabama. Not to mention the clemson guy who probably hangs out at starbucks with the Lobo guy studying for his next test and teaching Lobo how to spell correctly You people are sad, really Wow, I am flatured by your response. Thank you for avoiding the points in my post and making a personal attack instead. Now let's talk about the person who really has the ego problem and needs to justify their intellectual capacity: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually you are the Neanderthal while my faculties and apptitude are far superior to yours or anyone else on this board. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, I'm calling you on it. You put your foot in your mouth on that one. As far as me. I hate english. I work as a janitor and flip burgers at Mcdonalds on the weekends. I Live in the state of TN. I'll even include a pic of myself. It must suck to get owned by a fat dude with no life.

Maybe maybe not. But if we do lose it will be to top6 Georgia. No shame in that. At least we actually play top 10 teams unlike some teams I won't mention.

It's spelled "fallacies" not "falicies". If you're going to try impress me with big words at least spell them correctly. By the way there's nothing wrong with what I stated in my post. Learn reading comprehension please. If you're referring to the part of my post where I start in on the auburn bit. then you need to read a few lines above that where I preface what I am about to say with "Now let me throw YOUR LOGIC right back at you since you guys love to use that "well we beat so and so by this much so we are better than so and so" so you can see how stupid it really is.

Sorry to burst your bubble LOBOFLYER.
New Mexico ranks #29 in scoring defense and moved up a bit from last week to #32 in overall defense.

I seriously doubt you would give my boys much of a scare at all. We would roll all over you. Fact, you haven't faced a defense yet. NC's defense is a prime example. You don't drop to the #117 ranked defense off one game unless you already had a low rated defense in the first place. They had that crap defense before you guys played them.
But just to put this into perspective for you, I'm going to show you why your logic is faulty. I've read many posts by Utah fans showing how they are better than Wisconsin and other teams based on common opponents. They point to the scores of common opponents and say "see I told you so." So let's use that same logic model and look at some games. Purdue beats Notre Dame 41-16 WOW! Michigan LOSES to Notre Dame 20-28
According to your logic Purdue should beat the hell out of Michigan right? WRONG!
Michigan 16 Purdue 14.
Wait there's more: Texas A&M beats Iowa St. 34-3 Baylor LOSES to Iowa St. 25-26
According to your logic TAMU would kill Baylor right? WRONG! Baylor 35 TAMU 34(nice defense there A&M)
Here's another one: FSU beats Syracuse 17-14 (ok nice 3 point win there,NOT!) Virginia beats Syracuse 31-10(significantly better win than FSU)
Virginia should beat FSU right? WRONG! FSU 36 Virginia 3
Now let me throw your logic right back at you since you guys love to use that "well we beat so and so by this much so we are better than so and so" so you can see how stupid it really is.
Utah beats UNLV 63-28( margin of victory: 35 points) Tenn beats UNLV 42-17(margin of victory: 25 points) Auburn beats Tenn 34-10(Margin of victory: 24 points)
Or in other words Auburn would be 49 points better than UNLV which would mean that they would be 14 points better than Utah.
Or if you don't like that how about this: Cal beats Air force 56-14(42 point margin of victory) Utah beats Air force 49-35(14 point margin of victory)
Funny how Cal did better offensively AND defensively against Air force than you guys since you like to use that kind of logic.
Here's another example: Cal beats Arizona 38-0(38 point margin of victory) Utah beats Arizona 23-6(17 point margin of victory)
Yet again Cal did better both on offense AND defense than you guys.
Yet you want to come in here and claim that Utah can beat anyone in the top 10? Should I go on because I will seriously trash whatever you throw out there with your superior faculties and intelligence. How about them apples?

Ok First off Utah was looking good. I even caught a few glimpses of the NC game and was thinking to myself WOW this team really IS good. Then I noticed something. NC has one of the WORST defenses in the nation. They rank right at #117 in the nation! So I did a bit more research and low and behold EVERY team Utah has beaten including A&M have defenses that rank crappy. The best defense Utah has faced this year was can you believe it? #37 New Mexcio's. I find it quite telling that New Mexico also held Utah to their second lowest offensive output of the year. Utah has yet to even sniff at playing a top 20 defense much less a top 10 or top 5 defense. Most of the defenses they've faced are below #50. It's no wonder they are running wild. I doubt seriously that Utah would be effective at all if they faced a top 5 defense like Auburn's, or USC's, or Wisconsin's.
It doesn't stop there either. Utah has one of the lowest rated defenses of anyone in the top 10. Last time I checked they were rated around #42 in the country and that was BEFORE their last game where the opponent hung 28 points on them.
Utah is in for a BIG surprise when they actually play someone with a D worth a crap. Remember defense is what wins championships and Utah doesn't have one. Oklahoma had last years #1 offense. They were hanging 70 points on people all over the place. Then reality set in. They played LSU's #1 defense and of course we all know how that went.
Sorry Utah fans you are about to get your reality check in a BCS bowl and I hope it's against a quality top 10 team.

I'm biased because I'm an Auburn fan but I got to give my boys the nod for #1. They rank ahead of USC, OK, and Miami on both sides of the ball, offense and defense.

Campbell that is about a joke.This dude has play 7 games while Aaron Rodgers has played 4 or 5 and his stats are way better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Rogers does have better stats but let me remind you when it came time to produce in the big game he lost. With the game on the line he couldn't complete that ever important touchdown pass. Jason Campbell on the other hand in the big games has produced. Against LSU with the game on the line he showed why he was better by completing a 4 and 12 pass and then the all important go ahead touchdown. Aaron Rogers certainly did not do that. If we were going on PURE stats alone then Bruce Bradkowski of Toledo and Stefan Lefors of Louisville would have better arguments than even Rogers. It's not all about the stats but how they perform in the big games. Jason Campbell has both the stats and the wins in the big games to give him a mention. Rogers has the stats but not the big wins.

You guys are forgetting someone in the heisman race.
Jason Campbell. QB at Auburn.
Weekend wrap: It's a two-man Heisman race by Craig James, Yahoo! Sports October 18, 2004
HEISMAN WATCH LIST
I'm going with two guys, Matt Leinart and Jason White. Kyle Orton played his way off, and so did Braylon Edwards. Adrian Peterson also is off the list.
Jason Campbell at Auburn is trying to work his way on; I've got him on the short "next to watch" list.
It's maybe the shortest list we've had at this point of the season in a long time.
Matt Leinart, QB, USC This week: 13-of-24 (54.2 percent), 224 yards, 4 TDs (plus one rushing), 0 INTs in 45-7 win over Arizona State Season: 112-of-173 (65.1 percent), 1411 yards, 14 TDs (T-ninth in nation), 3 INTs, 157.4 rating
Jason White, QB, Oklahoma This week: 20-of-31 (64.5 percent), 256 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT in 31-21 win at Kansas State Season: 101-of-153 (66.0 percent), 1228 yards, 13 TDs (T-12th in nation), 4 INTs, 156.2 rating
And for comparison's sake ...
Jason Campbell, QB, Auburn This week: 17-of-19 (89.5 percent), 297 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs in 38-20 win over Arkansas Season: 92-of-136 (67.6 percent), 1363 yards, 13 TDs (T-12th in nation), 2 INTs, 10.0 yards/attempt (second in nation), 180.4 rating (fourth in nation)

Okay, so they want their precious bowl games.
Take the top 8 teams at the end of the season, using the current BCS forumla.
The week after the Big12 title and SEC title games, hold first round playoffs
1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5
The games will be played on the higher ranked team's homefield. example: 1 vs. 8 will played at #1's homefield.
next week
winner of 1-8 vs winner of 4-5
winner of 2-7 vs winner of 3-6
at a neutral site
2 teams will be left at this point. The 2 winners of this small tourney goto the BCS title bowl game that year(orange bowl this year)
The other 6 play in the other 3 BCS bowl games.
Every other bowl eligible team plays normal bowl schedule
Why is this so hard for the NCAA to figure out? There's plenty of time in between the end of the season and the beginning of bowl games to fit this in. The bowls still get their matchups and the title bowl is really for title unlike last year where we had 2 bowls that were for the title. As far as whining that could come from a #9 team not making the 8 team cut, I say if you're that far back you shouldn't be playing for the NC anyways.
