| | WannaBe: To answer my own trivia question, (I found the answer on ESPN's web-site) Q: How many number one-ranked team(s) played number two-ranked teams more than once in a season. A: <Not only would the Buckeyes be the first No. 1 to win three games against No. 2s, there have never been three 1 vs. 2 games in one season in the 70 years of the Associated Press poll. In fact, Ohio State's 24-7 defeat of Texas on Sept. 9 was the first regular-season game between the two highest ranked teams in 10 years.Only twice before, in 1943 and 1945, has a regular-season No. 1 played two No. 2 teams. In 1943, Notre Dame beat Michigan 35-12 and Iowa Pre-Flight 14-13. In 1945, Army beat Notre Dame 48-0 and three weeks later beat Navy 32-13. Regular-season 1 vs. 2 games rarely took place before the late 1980s. After Army and Notre Dame played their famous 0-0 tie in 1946, No. 1 didn't play No. 2 again until 1963, when Texas beat Oklahoma 28-7. In 1985, however, college football fans began to get lucky. In seven of the next nine seasons, No. 1 played No. 2. After second-ranked Notre Dame upset top-ranked Florida State 31-24 in 1993, there would be only one such game in the next 12 years, the Seminoles' 24-21 upset of Florida in 1996. What happened to 1s vs. 2s? Simple: In 1992, the limit on I-A scholarships dropped to 85. The talent spread among more teams. That's why eight Big Ten teams have won at least a share of the conference championship in the last seven seasons, why in the last 10 years no SEC team has won more than two league championships. All of which is to say that college football fans are lucky this season. Enjoy the regular-season games between No. 1 and No. 2. You never know when they'll come around again.> |

| | WannaBe: You heard it here first...
According to http://www.nfl.com/teams/stats/IND Colts' defence ALLOWS 5.4 yards per carry. The other team have no need to throw the ball, just run-run-run-run and then touchdown. Prediction: One win in the playoffs, then done. Maybe not even one win! |

| Nov-04-06 | | dr.roho: Hi <WannaBe>! I haven't been commenting here for a while but I've been visiting the site daily. I just have school and all. But I wanted to know if you play World of Warcraft. I bought the game on a friend's recommendation. It hasn't damaged my grades as chess has/is but I still love chess. I haven't actualy been playing chess as regularly as I had been and my grades are there to prove it. Comment me back, it's been a while... |
