Conquer Club

For starters, I'm issuing a "win premium" challenge here cause I know nobody's gonna win it.

Pretty simple: Pick two teams from either the AP or coaches poll(below) and guess their combined ranking total at the end of the BCS. If the number you pick matches the combined ranking total in the AP or Coaches Poll of the two teams you picked, you win.

Example: #11 Oregon and #24 Oregon State(current combined total - 35). I'm gonna say they finish with a combined total of 22.

Rules:
1. Only one team from the top ten can be used per guess.
2. Both teams must be in the top 25 of either the AP or Coaches Poll at the end of the BCS.
3. Final totals must come from a single poll(either AP or Coaches).
4. Boise State sucks.
5. Change your guess as many times as you want as long as your last edit is on Friday Sept 10th, 2010.
6. In the event that there is more than one correct guesser, the participant that uses the worser rank teams to begin with will get the premium.
7. In the event HapSmo19's guess is right, HapSmo19 doesn't have to buy you nuttin'.
8. Good luck.

Anyway, did anybody see the nail-biter between Oregon and the mighty New Mexico Lobos yesterday?

Update:

In The Running/Slim Chance/No Chance:

HapSmo19 - Oregon & Oregon State for 22
muy_thaiguy - Boise State & Utah for 17
Woodruff - TCU & Oregon for 8
mviola - Wisconsin & Miami(FL) for 11
AceArtemis - USC & LSU for 35
Frito Bandito - Oregon State & Alabama for 25
jrh_cardinal - Alabama & Oregon for 6
john9blue - Wisconsin & Alabama for 13
Quirk - Georgia & Florida for 20
InsomniaRed - Nebraska & Penn State for 25
rockfist - Wisconsin & Alabama for 3

Couldn't. I feel sorry for them. They need to get rid of Locks.

Anyways, #3 Boise and #24 Utah for a combined total of 17.

It's hard to believe they'd bring back a 1-11 guy.

Michigan will be in the Top 25 before the season is over

Woodruff will go with TCU and Oregon for a total of 8.

First year. Generally, HCs are allowed a few years to get the players they need.

So true. was at the game yesterday and Denard Robinson was AMAZING!

Wisconsin and Miami (FL) for a total of 11.

After a typically Berkleyish opener against Davis it's hard for ol', ol' Saxi to get too excited about the season until next weekend so this may change, but, for now I'm doing the predicting of:

an overrated Boise State + a deflated SC = 25

USC+LSU=35

Oregon State & Alabama for 25.

Well, imo Oregon's the only one outside the top 10 with a serious chance at a win a BCS bowl (much easier to guess the rank), so I'll go

#1 Alabama and #11 Oregon for a combined rank of 6

I agree with your logic regarding Oregon, which is why I selected them and TCU together. TCU's remaining schedule compared to Alabama's is...well, let's just say they're much more likely to survive it.

Slightly off topic, but a true freshman linebacker for Wyoming was killed in a car accident today, and there were a few other players in the car, all sustaining injuries to the point where one may have lost an arm.

That's all that is really known right now.

#12 Wisconsin and #1 Alabama for 13

Georgia & Florida for 20

So, what were some of you saying about BSU being ove-rated?

If I win I will donate my premium to somebody but let's see
#8 Nebraska and #19 Penn State for combined of 25

this is very winnable

Ill post my picks right before sept 10th deadline


-tig

Wisconsin and Alabama = 3

All we have to do is be ranked #2 on January first...that gets us into the game and then we run the ball right down their throat like we did to Miami!

PS:

Rich Rod sucks and after you fire him you will spend two years detangling from the whimpy spread offense to a real power football scheme, which you need to compete in the Big Ten.

Alright:

HapSmo19 - Oregon & Oregon State for 22
muy_thaiguy - Boise State & Utah for 17
Woodruff - TCU & Oregon for 8
mviola - Wisconsin & Miami(FL) for 11
AceArtemis - USC & LSU for 35
Frito Bandito - Oregon State & Alabama for 25
jrh_cardinal - Alabama & Oregon for 6
john9blue - Wisconsin & Alabama for 13
Quirk - Georgia & Florida for 20
InsomniaRed - Nebraska & Penn State for 25
rockfist - Wisconsin & Alabama for 3

I guess we'll know in January though I can probably let rockfist know right now

I'm looking pretty strong. I figure Oregon is good for one loss at some point, and TCU won't lose the rest of the season.

I think about the only team that will actually give them a challenge will be Utah, who just smoked my Pokes for probably the last time. Not sure if I should be happy or sad about that.

But the SEC is a joke. They complain how no one has to go through a tough schedule? Bullshit. Wyoming has played Texas (top 5 at the time), BSU, TCU, Air Force, and Utah. And with Texas' win over Nebraska (sorry Woodruff), Texas should pop back up in the top 25.

Eh, Nebraska deserved to lose that game. WRs need to learn how to catch the damn ball when they're wide open.

I'm late to the party for this game. But I hope we have a Boise State vs. TCU championship. That would serve the BCS right. But it looks like Oklahoma is poised to run the table and so poor TCU will be left out again.
