Wow! I caught the last couple of minutes of that game.  How do you stomp The OSU and lose to the other one?

Explain something to me: when a team is ranked higher than another team the implication is that the first team is better than the second team.  Simple, right?  So, when they play each other, one would naturally assume that the higher ranked team would win the game.

If this is the case, why would a team losing to a higher ranked team fall in the polls?  Isn't that what was supposed to happen?  Didn't it just confirm that the original rankings were right?

It is a disgrace that these polls mean anything.

An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

I think it depends on the degree of separation, if you are talking about a top 5 team vs. a team in the high teens low twenties then yes.  If they are close in rank and the higher ranked team stomps the other team then they should fall.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

MDS

whats the difference between losing 62-0 and in ot, on a hail mary, 7-3? farg this program, there is no hope.

Todd keep us up to date on the enthralling Central Michigan / Temple match up.

I hope this Texas vs. Oklahoma game lives up to the hype. No one gives Texas much of a shot to win.

They just had a parade up here for the farging game. I need to leave. Now.

Pretty good game so far, Texas was getting the brunt of some really bad calls. Knalls should get an emmy.
