They, with the the help of the greatness that is Tom Brady are doing what no-one expected them to this year. They're not a star studded team but are doing fantastic.

They play in a shit division and a weak conference overall. If the AFC didn't have to make the Superbowl, they wouldn't this year. They had stars last year, but your best slot receiver was traded to Denver and one of your TEs just had commit murder. They were exposed by the Bengals. They will fail, as usual.

As for the Bruins, yes they dropped the ball (puck?) but will be back with a vengeance this post season. And i thought it was $100?

Oh hell, I forgot how much money it was.

Ugh you're boring, don't give up so easily.

Fine. Boston sports are shit. The Sox win this was a fluke. No one cares what Tom Brady and the Pats do because although they have had winning records they haven't won a Superbowl in a decade, even though they had one of the "greatest" teams ever assembled, they lost to a shit NY Giants team. Remember what happened last time the Bruins tried to win the title? You ended up owing me $50, and still do.

But Junker, both are top teams in their respective leauges and have proven themselves in beating teams with good records. I'd be surprised it either team did not make it to the finals/super bowl.

Oh jeez, Sean, I know. I am just giving you a hard time.

ESPN starts their gazillion dollar SEC contract next year and they have a lot of influence. At this point, nothing would surprise me.

I'd suggest making a post of every word in a recent, reputable dictionary and then comparing to see if any have changed.

The BCS is heavily SEC biased. I doubt they would repeat the mistake of leapfrogging an undefeated team with a one lose team.

I wouldn't put it past them. Back in 2006, when OSU/Michigan played a thriller in the final week and were #1 and #2 respectively, there couldn't be a rematch because there was an unwritten rule that a team had to at least win its conference to play in the NCG. But fast forward 5 years, Alabama doesn't even win its division, much less its conference, and still gets in.

Yeah, that was unfortunate. I imagine he will come back again once he realizes there is no one left to talk to.

I dunno, the Buckeyes don't have a whole lot going for them. Their QB is unproven, their wide receivers are average at best, and they really have no concept of a decent running game. Meanwhile, MSU more or less has all their bases covered (with the exception of several of their defensive backs).

Braxton has a good arm and can run. His only problem is reading the secondary on occasion. Carlos Hyde has almost 1300 yds in only 9 games (he was suspended the first 3) so I'd say their running game is just fine. Receivers aren't great and defensive can be a worry depending on which version shows up.

I still think they handle MSU and end up in the NCG unless Auburn wins and the BCS decides it wants its SEC team in the game instead.

Their defense has been playing to the level of the competition. I think they are going to handle MSU by 10+ points. MSU defense hasn't dealt with a RB like Hyde, he is a monster.
