Sat, Nov 23 @#11 Oklahoma St TBD
Sat, Nov 30 @TCU TBD
Sat, Dec 7 vs Texas TBD
I agree Oklahoma has the best shot (and really just picked them to pick somebody), but I think the Bowl matchup is probably a better shot for Baylor to lose it.
As far as I know, my Bullydogs have never held The Belt. If WVU is sorta like the Ric Flair of the CFB, then Mississippi State is sadly one of the Mulkey brothers.
You’re right that the poll has closed, but since I didn’t make it a “public” one, there’s just the owning up to identify the votes. Mine was for OK State.
Hmmm…ok, instead of the Mulkey Brothers, my Bullydogs are the Tommy Rich of the College Football Belt. If they’d had two consecutive bye weeks, or otherwise held it a little longer, they’d be Kerry Von Erich.
I finally figure out that you’re talking about rasslin’ and I know more about Lipizzaner horses than I do about rasslin’, which is perilously close to nothing at all.
T’werent WV tonite. Watching replay and Baylor’s offense clicking under Perry and the defense is much improved. WV has one offensive touchdown in the first half. BU had 369 yards in offense in the first quarter and 617 for the half. Averaging 750 yards and 70 points a game, at the half it’s 56-14. Seastrunk has rushed for over 100 yards the last 8 games in a row, in the first half. Bring in the subs.
Even though this poll is now closed, since the voters weren’t identified, it might be fun to keep the thread alive until somebody swipes The Belt from Baylor.
Anybody want to step forth and make a visible guess on who that may be?
Baylor’s accomplishment is rising in status, as can be seen
1.) I’m not sure I understand how it’s statistically possible for Alabama to not have acquired the belt sometime in the last 4 years, but I’ll assume it’s true.
2.) The BCS champion should have been an option.
3.) That said, I don’t think that Baylor will lose this year, but they won’t play for the championship. If we had a 4-team playoff this year I would say the BCS champion this year (Bama). Since we don’t, I’m going to say the BCS champion next year. (Bama)
