I think the Titans and Saints will each win at least one more. 49ers could win another now that Smith is back at the QB position, but you're right that last game is up in the air.

Houston does need more offensive linemen but if they used their #1 pick on a lineman the entire football community would be getting their nooses ready.

That's true but with Bush and Leinart sitting there they could trade out and pick up 2 or maybe even 3 extra picks. But you're right if they use the first pick for a lineman that wouldn't make much sense.

Plus you can get a good lineman second or third round easy.

OK,next topic....


USC or Texas


I gotta say USC(even though my hate for 'em as no limit) because Texas hasn't really beat anybody but Ohio State and they've gotten into close games when Young hasn't played 100%.

USC on the other hand has beaten very good teams and when they get into a close game it isn't because one player isn't doing to well it's because they've played tough teams and Bush and Leinart always pull 'em through...yada yada yada Trojans get their SECOND straight.

Agreed, but I'm still pushin' for Texas.

How bout this. More people said they'd be more impressed with the Colts 16 season sweep streak than USC's streak. That's... that's incomprehensible.

Ohio State rocks!!!:D

Well you gotta think about it, the NFL is more competitive than it's ever been(10 years ago 10-6 was home field advantage now it's surviving).

There's free agency which is something college coaches don't have to worry about.

They get the best high school players in the country every year in bunches and don't have to worry about a salary cap. So when one heisman player leaves(Palmer) another steps in right away(Leinart) and now they've got two on one team(Bush). When they're gone next year they've got another one stepping in for 'em(White) along with All American recievers.

You get what I'm saying? It's just way easier in college.

True, but even great teams slip up every once in a while. SC is lookin' like they won't lose a game in three years. That's insane.

I know an undefeated season's only been done once in the nfl (and those Dolphins players are STILL acting like real dicks about it) but I just can't compare it length wise.

[AUSTIN316426808]

Well, like I said it's just more competitive,not to mention college isn't as competitive. If it were '95 and both teams were exactly the same and doing the exact same thing than people's opinions would probably be the other way around.

Going undefeated in the NFL was never supposed to happen again while in college if you've got the talent people actually expect you to go undefeated. As good as the Colts have been playing all year it wasn't until this past week that people started thinking(not confirming just thinking) they could actually do it.


I'm kinda nuetral on it.

Playin away against the Seahawks is really the only threat left, everything else is a locked win I'd say. But Peyton Manning is such a class act, he's the one guy I'd WANT to win it all... besides Kyle Orton.

The Patriots were 13-1 and lost to the 49ers in there second SuperBowl run, it was a lock on paper but ''That's why they play the games''.
