Top-ranked SEC team deserves BCS title shot

[R-Jack]

SEC fan. It's like m2, but with 46% more inbreeding.

[War Wagon]

As usual, Coach Miles is The Man and he speaks The Truth.

You wouldn't know the truth if Bo Jackon smacked you upside the head with it.

Les Miles is a punk.

[Mikey]

Based on that big time whupping they put on UL Monroe over the weekend I'd say that they should qualify for at least the BBVA Compass Bowl.

A team that can't even win their own division has no business in the BCSMNCG.

Yea.....CU would of tore it up in a playoff that year. Keep clinging to that game, Corky.....it's a part of what LITTLE you got as a buffs fan. P.S. Glad Sal died....hope it was painful :D

[MuchoBulls]

Sorry, but if you're not good enough to win your conference, then you shouldn't be playing for a National Championship.

How Big 12 of Les Miles.

Man, you are just nipping at my heels all over this board. I said at the time and I still believe that Oregon (not CU or NU) should've played Miami that year. I'm tempted to retort with a comment about Brook Berringer, but thankfully, we CU fans actually have some class...

[indyfrisco]

Miles already starting the begging. Classic.

[indyfrisco]

I know it COULD happen. It HAS happened before, and SECHonk was in here bitching that you should not be allowed to play in the BCS title game if you didn't win your conference.

Have some cake...

[Terry in Crapchester]

I think a rematch of Bama and Texas would be the best thing.

Hell, Texas will be lucky to go to any bowl game this year.

And yeah, you could say the same thing about ND, except that most of ND's fanbase isn't exactly thrilled about the prospect of a bowl game capping off a 6-6 season. That being said, it'll probably happen, that particular ship has sailed.

[Mikey]

LSU isn't even the best 1 loss team right now. Why would they deserve to play in the title game?

Stanford - Oregon for the MNC would be very cool.

[Dinsdale]

Boise only has Nevada left.

And Fresno St, who is 6-3 and halfway decent. I'd give them an outside chance if they were playing on a green field, but since they're not, I don't. They can't slow the passing game down enough.

But if BSU wins out, I wouldn't be surprised if the SoS boost moved them over TCU.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

What's so special about the SEC this year? They have two or three good teams at the top, a slew of middling teams, and then the obligatory bottom-feeding dreck. Ho hum, same as most other conferences. Yes, I understand going on the road to play Mississippi State can be a challenge, much in the same way going to Evanston or Lubbock or Berkeley can be. Yet the SECtards think their conference is the only one in which the middling teams can rise up and give you a game. Seriously, peek your heads outside your backwoods shitbox sometime and take a look around the entire competitive landscape that is D1 college football. Your tvs go past channel 4, right? You guys may be passionate, but nobody will ever accuse you of being knowledgeable.

If Miles wants to talk "competitive," then I guess the Big East champ should get the berth since we're in mid November and there are still five teams in contention for that crown. He probably should've chosen a different adjective, but it's no surprise as his language skills are right up there with his clock management skills.

But...if LSU were to win that game, they'd definitely deserve to go over either TCU or BSU, soooooo......

No one-loss team that should have TWO losses cough Tennessee cough should be playing for the title when you also consider they're a one-dimensional bag of boredom. Is it asking too much that both MNC teams possess the ability to play offense AND defense? BSU would kick the bushel of dicks out of LSU's every orifice. It wouldn't even be close.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Based on what, all those major conference teams like, oh I dunno, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Va Tech that blew them out of the water?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I thought the SECBSH criticism off Boise St was about resume, not about some perception that they can't hang with the big dogs. How many of these teams do they have to beat before you think they can actually beat them? Or are you using some superior and more accurate metric system beyond actual games played?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

For a lawyer, you sure do struggle with the whole reading comprehension thing.

[Dinsdale]

But their schedule doesn't allow them to prove themselves at a level to where they can demonstrate they belong in the NC game.

Yeah, they probably should have scheduled McNeese St (at home), LM (at home), and thrown in Vandy, Ole Miss, ans Tennessee for good measure.

And they probably should have scheduled a serious cupcake every week before that had a tough game the next week.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Inferior resume is a legitimate argument. But, is your take also that BSU can't hang with the big boys in big bowl games?

[SunCoastSooner]

The SEC East was a glorified cripple fight. If South Carolina wins the conference title game I'm not even convinced they should be in a BCS bowl period much less the national title game.

[MuchoBulls]

The Sugar is their goal. Or would Auburn, with a loss to USC, get the Sugar bid?

Wouldn't the league Champion get the Sugar if they aren't in the BCS title game?

If South Carolina wins the SEC, then I would presume Auburn would be going to the Orange Bowl.

I think you're right, but would the Sugar want SC with a possible 4 (or 5) losses? Wonder if they can choose...

What a fuckin' mess.

I'm pretty sure the Sugar Bowl is locked into the Meatgrinder Champion unless they're playing in the BCS title game. If you hae a beef with South Carolina going to the Sugar Bowl if they beat Auburn, your beef is with the way the Meatgrinder determines its champion much moreso than with the BCS.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I think you're right

I'm sure that's correct

nobody will ever accuse you of being knowledgeable.

[Carson]

As long as Alabama beats Auburn next week, I don't GARA what happens betwixt South Carolina and the Tigers.

...and if Auburn wins, then you'll GARA? Which way? :P

The hate is building in you...I can feel your anger.

[War Wagon]

Jsc - I hate to tell you this, but if Auburn were to lose one of their next two games, THEY would still have a better shot at the title game than LSU would have. They were talking about that on ESPN the other night. If AU loses either of those games - certainly by a small margin, they're not going to drop much at all.

Why would you hate to tell him that?

oops, I forgot... it's a BSH thang, kinda' like how after Auburn beat Georgia, the home fans were chanting "SEC, SEC"... long into the night after they had put their cousins to bed wet.

Funny, that. Not funny in a Joe Peschi haha sorta' way. Funny in a pathetic way. And you clowns lap that shit up while the rest of the CFB world laffs at you, not with you.

[War Wagon]

No doubt they have some great players roll out the SEC, but even they have to roll their eyes when 80,000 dumbfucks start chanting "SEC" and be like dudes, quit embarrassing us.

I'm really trying to cypher the mass hysteria that grips this group. All I can figure is that once one gets south of the Mason Dixon line, one runs into some really special Jons.

[Felix]

The SEC remains the premier conference in football.

define "premier"
if you mean it produces the best players, then no argument
if you're implying it produces the best teams, well your full of shit

[Carson]

Carson, you know damn well I have no intention of living the rest of my life knowing that Auburn won the 2010 NC.

I'll be pulling like hell for whoever Auburn plays.

Ah yes, that bammer mindset.

"I'm a better person than any barner because bama is better and Auburn is suxx and gaxx."

You claim 13 MNCs (including Dunkel and Lickenhouse) but it would stab your heart if Auburn gets a second one.

...and y'all are paying the Sabot 4 mil to DOMINATE, aren't you?

[Carson]

So having to tolerate meth-mouthed bammers waiting in an endless line at Wal Mart to get their picture taken with the MNC trophy is not a problem?

You probably dated that girl in the 70's when Barf Dougfield was the AU coach and we were 0 for 9 against the Bear.

We should be having this discussion in the rivalry thread.

[Felix]

Felix you better go get some of that Boise koolaid while you look at the scoreboard.

I'm not exactly sure how you posting BCS bowl wins by conference disputes what I said....maybe you'd better go back and read what I posted

and don't you suppose that given the fact that the top six conferences on your list receive AUTOMATIC BIDS into BCS games might have something to do with how many they've won?

but big props on being able to reference Boise State and hit the submit button without regurgitating your repetitive "who've they played" horseshit

[Mace]

In all honesty, I'm hoping for either an Auburn or Oregon loss that should force the powers that be to put Boise or TCU in the championship game (personally, I'm hoping for Boise) so that we can find out, once and for all, if those non-BCS teams belong in the discussion and, hopefully, move us closer to a playoff system.

[Felix]

We were talking about the best teams in football, and I provided stats.

no, you provided the number of wins that automatic qualifying conferences have in BCS bowls....

I didn't reference Boise

sure you did, some dribble about "Boise koolaid"

I'm not sure where you get the impression that I view the entire college football world based solely on my allegiance to boise state.....unlike you, I'm keenly aware of the fact that there are lots of good football teams from lots of different conferences

but the sad fact is that you, for whatever reason, judge the quality of a team based SOLELY on who they play, rather than assessing the quality of the team itself

[Dinsdale]

Maybe we should take an actual look at statistical analysis.

Jeff Sagarin does just such a analysis to rank conferences.


1 PAC-10 (A) = 81.28
2 SOUTHEASTERN (A) = 79.75
3 BIG 12 (A) = 78.94
4 BIG TEN (A) = 75.11
5 ATLANTIC COAST (A) = 73.72
6 I-A INDEPENDENTS (A) = 72.68
7 BIG EAST (A) = 71.25
8 WESTERN ATHLETIC (A) = 68.49
9 MOUNTAIN WEST (A) = 68.29


By Sagarin standards, that's actually a decent gap between #1 and #2.


But feel free to keep Sucking those Balls... doesn't seem to matter if it's based on actual facts.


Way to live up to your image, South.

Rematch? Atlanta is about due for another remodel.

[Felix]

If the '72 Dolphins played Boise's schedule, they wouldn't deserve a spot in the NC game either.

okay Dins, less than four posts

I win....

It's how SEC fans pronounce what covers up the rust on their trailers.
