Scenarios...Pre-Dick-Shuns...If....

When talking college foosballz, every sports talk show has now started making the inevitable rock solid predictions on who is going to play for the MNC. Just saw an article that said 7 SI writers predicted a Bama/Oregon (They're just so fast) match up. Seems to be the popular pick among the "experts". Could happen. Who knows? But first off, unless I missed it, the first BCS poll hasn't been released. Second, and more importantly, we're only half way through the season. Now, it is completely possible I missed the BCS poll being released, but just for argument's sake, let's look at the current AP Poll and assume the BCS will mirror pretty close at this point. Top 5 are undefeated.

1. Alabama
2. Oregon (TJSF)
3. Climpsum
4. theOSU
5. FSU
6. LSU 6-1
7. TAMU 5-1
8. Louisville 6-0
9. UCLA 5-0
10. Miami 5-0
11. Sakerlina 5-1

Let's add into the mix that in just about every single year, there comes a couple of Saturday nights in mid and late November where the college foosballz world gives a collective, "What the F just happened?" I have a strong feeling this year will be no exception. So, what are some scenarios you see playing out? I say, IF.....

Auburn beats #7 TAMU, Top 25 Georgia, #1 Alabama and wins the SECCG to finish 12-1 with the only loss being on the road to LSU, we play for the MNC. Now to be honest, I haven't slept in 2 nights and smoked some good Columbian on the way to work this morning and have been doing tekwila shooters at my desk since 8:30. So cut me some slack on this one.

IF...the winner of this weekend's FSU/Fighting Dabos match up goes undefeated the rest of the way, there is no way in hayull Oregon (TJSF) goes over either one. Oregon has played no one and the only "real" game left on their schedule is a team that just lost to Utah. Clemson would have wins over Georgia, FSU, Sakerlina and the opponent in the ACCCG. FSU would have beaten Dabo, Florida, Miami and the ACCCG opponent. Frick the Ducks...even though they're just so fast.

IF...LSU beats Bama and wins out, including the SECCG...Bama will play Oregon (TJSF) in the MNCG.

Mid season predictions?

Edit. I do see now that Oregon (TJSF) has top 10 UCLA on the schedule. But frick em' anyway.

Even if that were to happen, we get left out. Will be a nice bookend to the SEC dominance, as the last SEC team to get fucked by the retarded system in which preseason polls are king BEFORE an 8 year SEC run, and also be the first team to break the streak and get fucked once again. Puts a nice bow on the BCS.

Seriously, I can't see us jumping an undefeated if we were to win out. There will be at least two when the season's over. Once again, we will be punished for our preseason rankings.

Moot anyway, cause it ain't happening.

Yeah, although I would LOVE to see it happen AND it would piss me off, if we won out, there would still be some way we'd get screwed out of playing for the MNC--simply because the media darlings have already been chosen.

But, we can control our SEC destiny at this point at least. That's a very good place to be in half way through the season.

So do a lot of other teams.

I was serious about not being serious about smoking dope and doing shooters and giving an AU scenario.

Umm....what?

I have no illusions about our chances and while I really, really hope...and think we can be really super ultra keen competitive Saturday, I just don't see us winning. Not saying we can't, and yes, we have a decent chance. But love him or hate him, Johnny Fucking Football is bad ass and I think we're going to have to put 40+ on the board to beat him. I like our offense but we haven't done that against anyone except Western Community University so far.

That being said, like a guy told me yesterday...."If we do beat A & M Saturday, all bets are off the rest of the season."

I'm feeling really good about A&M because I think we will run it down their throat. Unfortunately, I think that they will throw it up our ass, so tit for tat. I still think we win, I'm just not betting my 83 cadillac on it.

A loss would put us in better shape for future upsets in my mind. We win Sat., people are gonna start taking us more seriously.
