Gonna miss you when you're gone.  Been lurking and reading your posts since 2005ish.

I remember fondly your Sunday night posts with your top ten.

Also remember the week you went 0-11.  Hey, it happens to the best of us...

I cap my own games and use your threads to validate or refute my selections. 

Wish you'd stick around but I totally understand why you'd bail. 

Good luck to you!  :)

opted for Cougs first half instead of game since line has moved down a decent amount & the fact I could get even juice on the bet (+100), will chance the quick start with the hometown Halloween crowd, going to be colder than those boys from the desert are accustomed to and Ariz St traditionally not as strong without their amazing homefield advantage on their side

hope everyone beats their book tonight

I remember going 0-11, took a beating from the forum that day, I've also gone 12-0 in 2 different weeks, I've gone on a 18-1 large money streak, I've done it all, bad & good, been doing this for many years & have made a boatload, not many can say that, thanks for the post, hope you're winning this season

1. California (225)
2. Florida (186)
3. Texas (184)

this is relevant because you said the Noles have more speed than a Pac12 all star squad would, the west coast teams have lots of speed, hence the reason California has the most high school talent and the most NFL players

also when comparing Oregon to Florida St and speed, I'll just toss out 2 skill position players, Marcus Mariota and DA Thomas, find me skill position players from Florida St with more speed than those two and then you have a conversation, I'm not talking about a player that gets 3 touches per game, I'm talking about skill position players of relevance like the 2 that I mentioned from Oregon

if you want to say Bama is better than I'll agree, Bama is the top program in college and its not close, they have won 2 in a row and still unbeaten this year, I have them ranked 1 in my personal poll on page 1 of this thread but Florida St has done nothing this year or in recent years for me to think they are the best team in the country, winning at Clemson is nice but comparing the Clemson & Maryland offenses to the Oregon offense is a huge reach (which I think you did in the post above the one I quoted if I'm not mistaken)

this isn't 1990 anymore, FSU has a nice squad and it's great to see them be relevant again but to say they would beat Oregon 8 out of 10 times is just being too much of a homer, if we somehow get that matchup for the title then your Noles will 100% certain be the underdog, not the favorite, Oregon would be a minimum of -3 and probably closer to -6

this is fun conversation and hopefully we see the game between these two (very doubtful) but I would look forward to that game

I like Florida St being good again, I really do, it's just better for college football but let them accomplish more than a win at Clemson before we start thinking they are in the elite

I don't mean elite by winning a National Title (Oregon hasn't done that either & may never do it) but they have played in a title game and many more BCS bowls in recent years than the Noles have, rise above the rest of those from the south that see things with blinders, recognize the west coast has great talent (as I've shown above) and let's see how things play out

hope you guys smash Miami this weekend and continue on the quest to playing for the title
