College Football National Champs 2008

I do too. MSU has a decent defense. But they need some help from the offense. The defense will not be able to stay on the field 70% of the game, week after week. I say GT wins 38 - 3. You going to the game?

Nah, I'll be at the GSU game.

Question

This is the 2008 season. The championship game will be played in 2009. Doesn't that technically mean the winning team will be the 2009 champs?

No. They are the champions of the season that was played in 2008.

The two-time defending MAC champion is a much more impressive win than Virginia. USC dismantled UVA because they are

Mark Richt and Mike Bobo's horrible play calling will be the down fall of our beloved Dogs this year unless the SC game was all smoke and mirrors. I saw MAYBE 3 pass attempts in which Georgia attempted to just advance the ball up the field to gain first down's etc... 2 of those attempts were dropped by Tripp Chandler which were drive killers. You have one of the most dominate backs in college football right now. Why not give him the ball 25 times a game.

Why not throw a few passes underneath. Maybe a 10 yard out. A couple of quick slants. Get the safties thinking a little bit instead of going for the one strike kill every drive. Don't get me wrong. I know it's Stafford's decision on who he throws the ball to but Mark has to step up and tell the kid to use his progressions and just keep drives moving. Sorry for the rant. Very frustrated Dog fan right now.

I agree with your last statement.

Just catching up here...

I do agree preseason polls are crap. Voters gave UGA the #1 ranking yet they are now #3 after going 3-0. All because we didn't run up the score versus a AA team and a non BCS team and we struggled against SC. In my opinion there shouldn't be a poll until mid way through the season OR they need to throw out margin of victory in the BCS rankings. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining because I am a dog fan. But the system is broke if ANY team is ranked #1 goes undefeated and drops 2 spots.

The victor of the 2009 BCS National Championship Game will win the 2008 BCS Championship.

Georgia is preseason #1 with an impossible schedule. If they make it out with 1 loss, they'll win the national championship.

They still win conference championships. They just don't play an extra game.

gsu, Am I good or what? Final score 38 - 7. State looking at 1 - 11 this year.

You're pretty good. My prediction over on the GT board was 35-10 Jackets.

Looks like GT should be 5-1 through the first half. Not good that Nesbitt went down with a hammy though. Luckily the backup can handle thing just fine. A bye week and games against Duke and 1-AA Gardner Webb will be time for Shaw to get acquainted and Nesbitt to rehab.

point is,... Mizzou was # 1 but we had one more game to play,... the big 12 championship, a tough game against OU,... we lost and then OSU moved ahead of us while they sat on their ass's,...??? I don't get it,...

Mizzou lost 2 times last year both to top 10 teams,... LSU lost to unrated teams (I think) I know they weren't in the top 10,... Arkansas and Kentucky I think,... kentucky may have been # 17 but LSU was like #2 then. Kansas got a beter Bowl game than Mizzou, yet we beat them heads up. That whole sytem is flawed,...

Boise State.

Remember the name Kellen Moore. Freshman QB at Boise State. He WILL win the Heisman Trophy sometime in the next 4 years.

I agree.

Boise State.

Doubt it. There have been three (i think) winners in fifty years from schools that are currently outside of the BCS. It definitely won't happen now.

One more reason why Texas Tech's Mike Leach is the greatest, craziest coach in college football.

You lost twice to Oklahoma. OU spanked you both times you played them, but yes, the system is flawed.

Hey Bulldogs! Hey Bulldogs!
We just beat the hell out of you!

Don't look now, but I think there's a big red elephant in the room.

[Smallville]

Doesn't look good for my Gorillas. Lost 35-10 to Northwest Missouri State. Pretty much took care of their National Championship hopes for this year.
