don't have any arguments against them winning it all, but do have some for them winning it all,\n\n1st- they didn't lose half their team as others have implied, they just lost some key players at key positions.\n\n2nd- they still have most there offense in tack, qb-troy smith\nrb-antonio pittman, wr- ted ginn(don't forget they had excellent \nwr's last year besides ginn and holmes.\n\n3rd- most of there incoming freshmen class, can step into the starting line-up now(they had one of the top 3 recruitments\n\n4th- they added the best rated running back this year, chris wells\n\n5th- doesn't matter who they lost on defense, the just keep re-loading yr after yr\n\n6th- do i need to go any further????

they wont get in but yeah, they only can blame themselves. that game against western carolina was a guarantee win so and an easy one. they wanted to play them so yeah, they could have picked a harder team which would have boosted the points in the end.

I go to Rutgers, I was at the Louisville game, and I watched the meltdown last night. I'm disappointed and feeling slightly nauseous, but in retrospect, we didn't lose to a bad team, persay.  Of their five losses, four were against opponents ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game. Additonally, they handily defeated a team (USF) that we struggled to beat.  Granted, we should've won.  Teel was terrible (four interceptions), and at least three of Teel's other throws were bobbled by cincinnati. Our usually powerful defense did little to stop cinci's attack.  Inarguably, it was our worst performance of the year.  Louisville got the upset over WV, we got the upset over them, then Cincinnati got it over us. They played great, and deserve the win.  For this win to qualify as the biggest upset in Cincinnati's school history says a lot about where Rutgers is at, and where  we've come from.  National championship title hopes were slim before we got into this game, and I honestly believe that if we had made it there against Ohio State, we would've gotten slaughtered.  We'll probably end up ranked about 15th in next week's polls, we'll kill Syracuse next week, like Louisville and West Virginia did to their opponents after their losses.  If we can beat West Virginia, it should put us back in the top 10, and earn us a BCS bowl game, which would be tremendous.  If we can't beat them, we end up third in the Big East, and go to the Gator Bowl.  However it ends, it's been one hell of a ride, and I'm proud of my school.  If this loss thins the herd of all you fairweather fans, all of you bandwagon hoppers, that's one positive aspect to it.  Losing is nauseating, but fickle fans are worse.

What drugs are you taking?\n\nThey might go on a 7 game LOSING streak.\n-------------\nBill Cower is in his last year and he's CLEARLY lost interest.\n\nBig Ben is more beat up right now than Mike Tyson.\n\nThe defense is HORRIFIC.\n\nThe offensive line ought to be run out of town.\n--------------\n\nLook, you got REAL LUCKY winning that Super Bowl last year.\n\nFirst of all, you never should have got in the playoffs.\n\nThen (if you wouldn't have trashed Palmer's knee) Cincinnati should have beat you by 20.\n\nTo top it off, the referees apparently got together before the Super Bowl and decided to let you guys win no matter what.\n-----------------\n\nBe thankful for your Championship last season.\n\nIt won't happen again for a LONG LONG time!

I AGREE 100% WITH ed2bizkit.\nSOME OF THE LOSSERS ARE RIGHT HERE ANSWERING WITH A FROG IN THEIR THROAT'S TRYING TO PUT US WINNERS DOWN, IT'S A TIPICAL RESPONSE WHEN A TEAM LET'S THE FANS DOWN. NO NEED FOR THIS, WIPE YOUR TEARS,GET OUT OF BED,PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND JOIN US IN CELEBRATION!  "RIGHT ON! STEELERS"

Oh man dude, you have no idea what a coincidence this is. My girlfriend and another friend spent about an hour this afternoon trying to decide whether sports is worth yelling at or not. \nFor my own reasons, it's just a way of life. And I think it's safe to say for all us sports fans, that we get into it a bit too much sometimes. All of us invest a whole lot of expectations and hopes within one team, that we even feel tied to the game and the team. It's understandable to shout and act crazy during a game, if you really hate it, maybe talk to your cousin about it?\nThanks

sigh... my heart is broken right now...  how I wish wish wish the outcome would have been different.  \nAnd BLOW-OUT??  How can a 3 (THREE!!!) point victory be classified as a blow-out???\nYou will hear nothing but hot air from the B(s)uckeye fans right now.  Yes, their team managed to capitalize on some critical plays today, but please don't shove it down my throat; my pain is undying as it is....

Arkansas sure played with them.  That game was no blow out.  But there weren't many teams in the nation who could've done as well against LSU today as Arkansas did.  Certainly no one from the Big 10.

Why wouldn't they be upset.  They worked through an entire season and aren't going to accomplish their goal.  All NFL teams have one goal, the Superbowl.  I'd be upset if I was a Buccaneer right now, and not playing.

I totally agree.  I must say that in watching this game, I do not get any sort of sense of a quality team.  First let us look at the 10 point win for Louisville.  7 points came from a fumble (which was part of a series of 3 turnovers in 4 plays).  7 points came from a ugly punt with ugly tackling to be returned for a TD.  That just goes to show West Virginia was over rated.\n\nNow for Lousiville, they played horribly.  They allowed over 500 yards of offense against them (BTW for a total between both of over 1000 yards... yikes).  Even bad highschool teams give up less than this.  There was no tackling, there was no defense.  The game was a shootout to see who would make a few mistakes... West VA lost that bet.  It is easy to score a lot of points when the other team cannot stop an old woman with a cane in one hand and the ball in the other.  It is very easy to run up points all season when you play a bunch of short bus schools chasing butterflys up and down the field.  Wait until the bowl games... when all the "power house" Big East teams play real "Power Conferences."(SEC, Big 10, ACC, Pac 10).  They will learn what a real football is like.  All I hope for is either: 1) All the Big East teams knock each other out or 2) They all go to decent bowls where they get there butts kicked, and they start where they belong next year.  And yes, I know Ohio State is awesome, Michigan is too.  Sorry they have to knock each other out but it is the way it goes.  I see Ohio State/Florida or Auburn in the title... the way it should be.  Go Jackets (Yes, I know... not a title hope but they win the ACC and are Orange Bowl bound)!

Fans are often mad when their team doesnt win, especially a championship.  It should be expected.  \nI am a fan of every Texas sports team (not exclusively though) but I am happy that the Miami Heat were able to win their first title.  Its always nice to see someone new win.\n\n\nand i agree with Lynda.. not ALL fans are mad. there are lots of people like us that are happy for the Heat.. and its all about football in texas haha (for me atleast) :]]

His knee was down, but that's not cheating, that's a missed call by an official. I don't think you can say for sure that Texas would have lost if the officials called that play differently.  I don't like Texas at all, but they are the champions.  A champion isn't necessarily the best, but the one that won.  If you are a USC fan, congratulations on a great season and a great game.
