I haven’t insulted anyone - read my actual post. I had a opinion that ou was over ranked, im allowed to have that opinion just like another member is allowed to have his opinion about OSU getting 'whooped up on' -

If i get banned for a week because i didn't follow the ToS, then i expect other members to play by the same rules- please keep your personal opinions about me to yourself.

You can be insulting without insulting one specific person.

That's true. You are allowed to have that opinion... but that does not mitigating the fact that it's insulting to some.

So why aren't you polite and why are you consistently disruptive?

Is that being "polite"? Is that not "rudeness"? Is that not a "personal attack" on the other posters in this thread?

Look at the picture, it is infact a picture of a OU player throwing a fit and crying after the game - i am keeping all of my comments directed to the game that ou lost to CU, i recommend you doing the same.

The picture wasn't showing up when you originally posted so there was, in fact, no reference other than the previous posts.

Did you not listen to Mike Gundy's irrational tirade last week? It's not nice to pick on collegiate players. "It's garbage!" And it's insulting and intentionally inflammatory.

If you would like to discuss Gundys victory Win last week followed up by his Heroic display of Leadership, I recommend you going into the OSU thread about the subject - please do not try to highjack my thread(rule 13 in TOS).

I wasn't hijacking "your" thread because, although there was an allusion to an event that occurred last week, your cited thread is not the only place it can be referenced and my reference was directly related to your picture which casts aspersions on a collegiate player, something Mike Gundy chastised in "his heroic display of leadership."

While your quoting TOS, try this one for size: "Flame baiting is not allowed. What is 'flame baiting'? It means posting a topic or something with the intention of triggering a flame war, or one that invites flames in reply. It's equivalent to inviting someone to troll." With your history, it is well known that it was your intention to bait OU fans.

Is OU overrated? It's still too early to tell. One game, in which they lost by 3 points, is hardly solid evidence that the team was overrated. It certainly wasn't as indicting as a 41-23 loss to Troy.

OU played poorly. Colorado played well. OU has looked good in the previous four games, albeit to less than stellar opponents. Was a No. 3 ranking justified? Apparently to sportswriters and coaches who actually know something about football, they felt it was. Will there be an adjustment downward in this week's poll? Most likely and justifiably so.

To have an OSU homer try to tell others that OU is overrated is akin to Baghdad Bob's handicapping of the Iraq War.

.
This thread is about ou being overrated, it is not flame baiting because it was created for the whole purpose of discussing how ou was overrated. If i went into a thread about an ou victory(like the previous weeks against tu) and started saying that they were overrated that would be flame baiting.

If you would not like to discuss ou being overrated with me please leave my thread, because you infact are flamebaiting.

If you will actually read my post, which you always are telling other people to do, I discussed OU being overrated.

Perhaps if the headline was "Is OU overrated?" the response would have been different. But you made a declarative statement, "OU = Overrated". That was flamebaiting.

Back on subject - what number does everyone think ou will be ranked come monday?

I think a more realistic number would be around 20, but i see the actual ranking going to 12 or 13.

Nah, they'll be ranked number 10 at least. With Florida, West Virginia, Texas and Rutgers losing along with OU, the polls won't make such a dramatic change to their beloved higher-rated folks. After all, it is only one loss.

I see the top ten like this (but hey, who am I?):

1. LSU
2. USC
3. California
4. Ohio State
5. Wisconsin
6. Kentucky
7. Boston College
8. Florida
9. West Virginia
10. Oklahoma

That's my prediction. What about yours?

That's a reasonable list. Here's how I'd rank them.

1. LSU
2. USC
3. California
4. Wisconsin
5. Florida
6. Ohio State
7. Kentucky
8. Boston College
9. Oklahoma
10. Georgia

I'm just glad to see that you feel the same way I do about USC... however, I believe the lovefest for Ohio State will never stop, thus their superior ranking in my 'poll'.

10. ou

...and for the official record, the original tone of this thread could be considered flame baiting. it's obvious that the title 'ou=overrated' would enflame some users and it was designed to do that. you know better. tread lightly.

Interesting that AP puts LSU above USC. OU is right about where they should be. The loss was an upset, but I don't think it warranted a major drop in the polls.

I figure since people can post pictures/video about gundy in the other thread and poke fun at him...

Heres a good picture of bob stoops, he looks like a big little kid throwing a fit. By the way all these photos are on espn on the first page if you would like your own copies. I think this one should be titled 'bob stoops is mad at me'!
