stevasaurus 22,230 #102 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Brandonozz...this is for you...I suggest that there are teams all across the country that you either like or dislike for any reason. This pool is set up to pick the teams that you think are going to win. With that being said...I would like to offer my TOP TEN LIST of teams in all conferences that I kind of like and would like to see win in certain games. I am just doing the like side of my list... 1. Illinois...just because 2. Northwestern...same reason 3. Wisconsin...roots there and the rest in no particular order 4. Arkansas...just do 5. Oklahoma...lots of friends there 6. Maine...was stationed there 7. Syracuse...I have no idea why 8. Appellation St....the last no name team to beat Michigan ...how great is that?? Let's face it...every team lives to play and beat Michigan...Illinois got them a few years ago on Halloween...things you do not forget. 9. Any team playing the SEC..they really do have the best conference 10. Any team playing the Pac 12...just because they always seem to have the Big Ten's number...although Michigan St. got Stanford this year. 11. OH OH...I have to put in Northern Illinois University...they have been excellent to watch for the last 5 years...beat Iowa 1st game this year. WOO HOO!!!

Racinbob 10,278 #103 Posted January 4, 2014 What? No mention of Notre Dame? You aren't that far away and there is a special tie between Navy and ND. That's why, as long as Navy wants to, they will always have them on the schedule. What the Navy did for Notre Dame always comes to mind when they play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,278 #104 Posted January 4, 2014 Here's an interesting read about the history of Notre Dame and Navy football for those who didn't realize it. This history plus the fact that my Dad was in the Navy during WW2 always has me on the fence when they meet on the field. My Dad was always a diehard Notre Dame fan except for one game every year. Can't say that I blame him. http://www.und.com/rivalry/navy/interior-history.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #105 Posted January 4, 2014 That's the first I've seen of the history between Navy and Notre Dame Racin'. Very interesting story about helping one another,honoring commitment and a common goal to train and educate the next generations Very proud traditions there.

Stevasaurus, I know what you mean about liking certain teams. There are programs that I have to be respect with their history, traditions and honor they bring to the field. That same history and success of some teams cause many to dislike programs just because they want David to slay Goliath. On the other hand, I could never come close to liking a team from the SEC. They like themselves so much they don't need me anyway! No doubt they play good football but I get sick of ESPN and all the analysts blowing so much smoke up their skirts all the time. To hear them talk, other conferences have no chance when playing the SEC. Missouri and Texas A&M have only been there a couple of years and I think they both proved that other conferences can compete. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #107 Posted January 4, 2014 And so it goes. The Buckeyes weren't able to get it done and by losing to Clemson prove yet again that the Big 10 is still severely overrated and not ready to compete with the SEC. Another great season for them and hopefully they and the rest of the Big 10 will continue to build and become more competitive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,278 #109 Posted January 4, 2014 OK, it looks to me like a tiebreaker needs to be in place. If Bluff wins all 3 he wins outright If JimD wins all 3 he wins outright If Steve wins all three, it's a tie with Bluff. Oh Oh! That's all the active brain cells I have left today.
