TCU-BSU? Should be a fun game to watch. But these two teams shoulda played in the Div II (or whatever it's called now) playoffs. Cincy played a better schedule than either of these teams and their only real game was against Oregon State. We saw how good the Bearcats were against Florida. These teams wanna play with the big boys? Play a real schedule and call us back.
Iowa-Georgia Tech? Wow. Paul Johnson's carzy-ass running game against a stout defense that's never seen an offense like Tech's. Could be a yawner.
Troy-Central Michigan? Whatever.
How about some scores for the Texas-Bama tussle? Come on, Longhorn fellers...let's see whatcha think's gonna happen Thursday night. I figured 5 losses in the bowls for SEC teams, but I think 4 will have to suffice.
I'll stick with what I posted elsewhere: 31-10 Alabama. Just can't see that Colt and company can do much damage against the Saban-Smart defense. Your two tough games showed how easy it is to shut down that one-dimensional offense. And once McElroy loosens up your D with passes to TE Peek and to Richardson outta the backfield, Mark Ingram and TR will be running wild. Sorta like what they did against Florida. Y'all just concentrate on the Bama running game. You know McElroy is pitiful...he couldn't start for but maybe 2 teams in the Big 12...remember? Maze, Jones, Hanks will be running wild in your secondary early. But don't worry about 'em 'cause McElroy is terrible.
Just recall that I picked Bama big against the Gators. And the Gators to blow out Cincinnati. Note: Please ignore the rest of my shitty picks all season and in the bowls.
I expect an exciting, tight game for maybe a half. But Bama will wear down Texas on both sides of the ball.
31-10 Alabama.
Bring it.
For the second time...
Seriously, shut the fuck up Sam. I have a spot for you to chill, have a meal, and talk to people on your level of sports analysis... the children's table on Thanksgiving.Sudden Sam wrote:...He was referring to Cincy, TCU, and Boise State. Now let's look at this realistically: None of those teams played a schedule that should allow them to play in a championship game...
The SEC in bowls so far is 5-4... In your wins you've had to have the officials save Ole Miss' asses against Oklahoma State in the fourth quarter, Allbarn need overtime to beat the 5th place team in the Big 10, East Carolina damn near beat Arkiesaw and controlled most of the game, and Georgia relied on a shit load of special teams gaffs to defeat a sorry ass Texass A&M team. In your losses Tennessee got utterly embarrassed by Va Tech and South Carolina was creamed by UCONN.
The Mountain West so far UNDEFEATED... 4-0, 100% winning percentage; only one of the games has even had a shred of competition for them and that was their last team, 5th place finisher, to get into a bowl game against another conferences #3 team. Air Force demolished its opponent, BYU embarrassed Oregon State, and Utah creamed Cal.
Fact: TCU played, and beat, just as many teams who have actually won their bowl games as Bama has this season.
Fact: while playing those teams TCU held them to lower average offensive points than Bama while nearly doubling them in average points scored. Period, end of story!
Your SEC and overall football analysis already has your ass sitting at 11-18 in the bowl pick 'em in the slot you managed to procure only for the simple fact that the sun shined on a dog's ass one day and you magically won a week... if not for that you'd be sitting at dead last in non-qualifiers category...
Do yourself a favor and try to act inconspicuous for a few days until you get to play another team with a less impressive resume than TCU for the mythical national title because the national media has the SEC's cock in their and your mouth. The only thing this bowl season has re-enforced is that the SEC was an overrated normal conference like damn near everyone else this season... and that's a best case scenario... While the Mountain West was clearly a much more difficult conference than you, or even I, gave them credit for being.
Please continue to kick your own ass in here. The SEC hasn't proven shit.
