Actually, it's worst for those teams because they'll actually most likely play a tough team. Not have a CCG allows teams like OSU to be in the National picture even with their extremely weak SOS.

Yeah, it's great until Oregon, UCLA and USC all finish with 1 lost where Oregon lost to UCLA who lost to USC who lost to Oregon. [Freak] And, of course, USC will get the nod and Oregon and UCLA fans will be pissed.

Back to football - have you watched any Hawaii games this year, Nismo? They're sort of up your alley in terms of the offense they run. Though Crabtree is the standout receiver on either team, I think overall Hawaii has the superior receiving corps. Their top 4 receivers are freaking incredible. I don't think Brennan is quite the QB that Harrell has been this year, though he has been battling some injuries. I'll be very interesting in seeing how Hawaii performs in the Sugar Bowl.
Hawaii is fun to watch. You are never out it of it with our systems and I knew they could come back last night. However, they are no where even close to the same talent level at receiver or anywhere on both sides of the ball. Crabtree gets the most national attention (and rightfully so), but Amendola is also a stud... pretty close to a Wes Welker. We also have some additional young talent as well, just not quite the speciman that Crabtree is. They light up the stats when they play crappy teams as well. The closest position would be quarterback, but Harrell will show Brennan how you're supposed to play like a senior next year. [Smoking]
