That was awesome. Too bad the BCS sucks and OU will probably still be in the Sugar Bowl. It should be USC and LSU, they both kicked tail today.

 

Of course if they would just have a playoff system like all hte other divisions we wouldn't have these problems.

Good point. I just watched the bowl drawings on ABC and ESPN and all they talked about was how unfair the BCS standings turned out. now theres talk about shutting the BCS down which is highly unlikely. Playoffs are the way to go cause now there are too many polls, situations, senarios and possiblities for annything to work out right. the BCS ranking system has so much fuzzy math its a wonder the IRS doesn't use it for tax returns.

I've been reading for a year or two that once the BCS contract is up there will be some major renvoations in how it works, or they'll go another route, but we'll see.

According to the BCS Chairman, they originally wanted to use only the human polls, but the people doing those polls wouldn't let them. The media said it was their job to report the news, not be the news, therefore the BCS had to use something else. That's how they came up with the computer aspect. The way I see it, there is 2 more years left on the BCS contract (and some bowls have threatened to pull out of it sooner than that, but probably won't) after that ti'll be gone. It'll be like it used to be, OR some type of playoff sysyem that incorporates the bowls into it. And at the end of this seaon there will probably be 2 Champions. USC in the AP poll and OU/LSU in the coaches poll.

I watched this game with my grandpa, who is from Oklahoma and a big OU fan. Needless to say that was a sad evening. They still made it to the national championship though... in days of old, a team losing its last game is not allowed to go to the NC... shows you how bad the BCS is.

The sad part about it is that you have a team that didn't even win their conference playing for the National Championship :cheers:

Only if USC gets past Michigan.I think we have the best chance of any team in the country to beat them.We have a powerful offense with a better defense than USC has.The PAC-10 is known for being soft on defense compared to the Big Ten.USC doesn't deserve to be in the title game,they lost to a 7-6 Cal team they should have blown out.They do win the popularity contest by blowing out weak teams though.The 2 teams that deserve it are playing for the title game.All 3 of the teams lost 1 game,unfortunately for USC they lost to the weakest team of the of the bunch.OU vs LSU should be a good game and hopefully Nick Saban and crew can handle OU.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
