PSU #8 in the first USA Today/Coaches' Poll

[ham55]

Ah, and there lies the problem. Because we're going off of last years polls. Jeffy-boy probably can look at the Big lEast right now and realize just how horrible that conference is gonna be this upcoming year.

How many points did Pitt score in its last bowl game? The same number of Big lEast teams that are ranked in the Coaches Poll top 25!!!! AHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[ham55]

The answer is ZERO in case we forgot about that.

Last bowl season, the Big Ten was 1-6. The only Big Ten team that won was Iowa, who lost to Pitt during the regular season, and, of course, beat Penn State. Does anyone out there really think that Iowa, who is in this years pre-season top 25, will be there at season's end?

Didnt you tell moldo to "forget last year" in one of your previous posts?

The Big 10 is a weak conference. How can you even try to argue that it's strong? The last time a team from that conference won a National Title was 2002. The conference as a whole managed to win one bowl game last year. I don't care what their record is against SEC teams and neither does anyone else that knows anything about College Football.

Amazing, isn't it. That the Big Ten conference, which had it's roots as far back as 1896, and is the oldest athletic conference in college sports, couldn't even make Sagarin's top 5 list as a conference last year. Amazing!!

[ham55]

1. SEC
2. Big 12
3. Pac-10
4. Big Ten
5. ACC
6. MWC
7. Big East
8. WAC

This year. From ESPN. THIS YEAR. NOT LAST. THIS. YEAR.

Deliverance, where did I ever say that the Big10 is strong? Or even insinuate that? I did not. I just asked where all the Big lEast teams were. That was it.

You're all fools to not recognize how young the Big10 was last year, as well. The same goes with the Big lEast this year.

[The Ancient Enemy]

You can come up with a mathematical formula to prove anything, Moldo. Why you hitched your star to Sagarain so tightly, I have no idea. We are in a format that determines a champion based off of garbage and speculation. How is Jeff Sagarin's opinion any better than Ham's or yours? It isn't.
