There's MAC games on every week, too. Again, not an "accredited" conference. Also, Conference USA. Rarely are there ACC games, and never are there SEC, PAC-10 or Big Ten games. Explain.

Once again, if you want my mouth shut, come and shut it for me. Ig there is a grievance that can be resolved, it can very simply be resolved. December is coming fast.

Actually, it seems like there were a few ACC games on during Thursday night. I'm guessing it has something to do with an ACC TV contract to get a bit more esposure. There were generally more Big East/C-USA/MAC games on during the week though. And West Virginia, while they may not necessarily suck, are still part of the worst BCS conference. Texas has only a SLIGHTLY better schedule than Pitt. Pitt had Notre Dame, and Texas had Ohio State, and those were the toughest games (probably by far) that either one played.

Are you on crack? Did you just compare Texas' schedule to Pitt's schedule? Wow, I'm amazed that you'd even say something like that. You and TAE should combine brains. Oh wait, neither one of you know anything, so I guess that wouldn't do much for you.

Texas does have a bit better in conference schedule, by virtue of playing Colorado, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Missouri. But it is noteworthy that the only one of those games that wasn't at home was the Missouri game, which is the worst of those teams. Pitt plays West Virginia on the road, which I dare say is about as good as Oklahoma currently is. Pitt also played Notre Dame, which is about as tough as Ohio State. So the Longhorn's schedule is a bit tougher than Pitt's, but still not THAT much tougher. Pitt played Notre Dame, @ Nebraska, and will play at West Virginia. Give them some credit.

TAE......The Nittany Lions know that song very well. They have been singing it for 4 or 5 years now.

Pitt will be singing it this year. What's your point?

Yes, Pitt should've been singing that since their schedule was so tough, huh? Hahaha. Yes, once again you proved that you know nothing about football. Good try. There's 5 teams on Pitt's schedule that are terrible. Ohio, YSU, UCONN, Cincinatti, and Syracuse. Texas has two terrible teams on their schedule in Rice, and LA-Lafayette. You know nothing.

Oklahoma State too. They had a heck of a hard time beating Florida Atlantic, which is on their way to being the worst team in the worst conference. They've gotten a little better, but they're still terrible, even if they managed to upset Texas Tech.
What about Baylor? They are 4-6, with a win over SMU, Samford, and Army. The only decent win they pulled was when Iowa State choked. Or does being in the almight Big 12 make a team great?



Besides, we'll see if I know nothing. My pick for the national title game: USC 45, Texas 24
