Posted: 1/1/2008 5:31:02 PM | | I think what we may be figuring out is that the SEC teams are not head & shoulders above the rest. True..They might have more good teams from top to bottom but none that are head & shoulders about the rest. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 7:31:45 PM | | Florida was hyped a bit too much this year. They are a young team with a defense weaker than most people thought. (And this from a Florida grad!) They need to shore up the offensive line and the secondary. They'll be fine. They WILL be better next year! | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 10:46:13 AM | what I have learned (and already knew)
The SEC is not the powerhouse everyone thinks it is...the big ten top to bottom is just as good....
Florida was totally outplayed and outcoached, I understand michigan was fired up, but florida didnt bring it yesterday...
arkansas?...do I really need to say anything?.... a very overrated team... with one great player...
Tenneesee needed the final seconds to beat wisconson who didnt even finish third in there conference...
Georgia looked good against a team that I thought they would beat too....Hawaii wasnt ready for prime time, and all you people who thought they should be playing for the national champ because they are undeafted?...I hope you are rethinking that....
I think LSU is gonna drill Ohio State....besides USC, Lsu has the best talent in the country in my opinion..... | |

Posted: 1/3/2008 8:31:57 PM | Eman: I think Ohio State has the better incentive factors:
* ticked off by losing to Florida so badly last year
* ticked by playing in LSU's backyard
* ticked by being put as underdogs by Vegas
LSU will need a spark from somewhere's.

from top to bottom , i doubt it.the s.e.c record so far is 6-2 compared to the big ten is 3-4,i know you want to point out that florida thing but one win does make it just as good, we do still have the championship left but if history stays true the ohio state will lose like always to the s.e.c, what are they 0-7 against that conference, way to point out that tennessee needed the final seconds, but wasnt it wisconsin that needed them final seconds, tennessee did have the lead, some people call that finishing.besides whats wrong with the last seconds, keep in mind that usc needed them to lose to a 42 point underdog named stanford.you think arkansas was overrated you might want to take a look at the illinoise team again, hawaii wasnt the only team not ready for primetime! | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 10:44:18 AM | Why don't you also mention that Wisconsin finished 4th in the Big Ten to Tennessee's 2nd finish.....or that Michigan is 25-7 against the SEC. (in fact there last Bowl win was also against Fla. I guess UM should just join the SEC so they could win every year!!)
If you keep putting the top of the SEC against the middle of the pack for other conferences, I'd expect them to look good as well. | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 11:49:15 AM | | maybe um should focus on beating the 1aa teams they play first,by the way wisconsin was ranked 17th and the vols were ranked 16th going in to that game, not as much as a difference as u want to try to make it seem, besides goriga finihed 3rd in the sec, but yet were ranked 4th in the nation and played in a b.c.s bowl, sometimes conference ranking can be misleading. weak excuse for the big ten sub par preformance in the bowls so far!!, last point, since the conception of the b.c.s, the s.e.c has had 3 differnt teams win the championship ( gators,vols, tigers) and another that should have atleast played for it ( auburn ), the big ten has had 1 team thats it.also you might want to mention that flordias last bowl win was that beat down of the favored ohio state,also michigan did finish higher in the big ten then the gators did in the sec thought you may want to know that considering that wisconsion point u made | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 12:16:09 PM | | And Florida got wacked ( 3 UM turnovers inside the 5 yard line kept the score close) by a team that lost to a 1aa team....doesn't say much for them or your overblown SEC pride....does it??? | |
|
| college football season 2007
Posted: 1/5/2008 12:59:09 PM | | way to avoid every other point, then again i guess i would to if i was a big ten fan, better to lose to a so called power ( michigan ), then to actually lose to a 1aa school,remember that usc lost to stanford ( a 42 point underdog ), and then completly waxed illinois so much for the big ten pride.anything to add on the other points i made or is that all u have one win against flordia. | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 1:25:42 PM | MI nite owl and dennyden:
Although this year the final BCS teams lined up with the computer rankings, I suspect that in future years there will be disparities, and my assumption is that they will go against the SEC. Translate: anti-SEC bias will rule.
Sort of like the AP in 2003/4, when they "crowned" USC the champs, after OK and LSU went to the C'ship Game.
What USC actually won that year was maybe Miss Congeniality. | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 5:51:04 PM | | I was happy to see USC win the Rose Bowl they stopped a team who ran a spread offense. I am from SEC Country and there is alot of great teams but if LSU loses to Ohio State what will everyone say. | |

Posted: 1/5/2008 7:11:19 PM | Extrememale inquires: "but if LSU loses to Ohio State what will everyone say?"
---
my comment: probably that Ohio State is #1.
But that was IF.
The correct question should have been:
"but WHEN Ohio State loses to LSU, what will everybody say?"
They will say, hmmm. Just as we expected. LSU is #1, and the SEC is one badass conference.
And OSU fans will sigh "maybe next year".
Maybe. | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 6:58:57 AM | sec fans never get it what im saying....
from TOP to BOTTOM I beleive the pac 10 and the big 10 is just as good....THIS YEAR....
Its all parity in college football this year....this is all im saying...sec fans get upset when you dont mention there conference as the best...
this year there is no CLEAR CUT number 1....usc, georgia, mizzou, kansas, they all have arguments on why they are NOT playing for the championship...
relax sec fans...i think the sec is a damm good conference...but this year its all about parity... | |

Posted: 1/6/2008 8:27:42 AM | | teh reason s.e.c fans dont except this is because it seems like a way to discredit them, to say the other conferences are just as good with no real data to back it up ( rankings , bowl record, etc.. ) just comes across as sour grapes.there maybe be parity in college football, which i think is a good thing, that still doesnt mean that there is not one dominate conference, look there parity in the nfl , but yet there is still dominate teams there or even divisions | |

Posted: 1/7/2008 2:29:30 PM | | I really want to see LSU win this game Even though I am not a LSU fan. I am a Southern Cal fan. The SEC will always be good from Top To Bottom. What the Big Ten schools need to do to complete against teams who are in the SEC is get players who have speed. Have a great night. | |

Posted: 1/7/2008 8:48:22 PM | | Hey LUCKEYE FANS...what do you have to run your mouth about now?? Where is mister luckeye that kept telling me to get a clue. You suck, your team is overated, and have no business playing for the title...what a farce. Illinois couldn't hold USC's jocks, and now your exposed...AGAIN in the title game your BCS buddies put you in. Shut your Woody Hayes lovin pie holes. | |

ahhh it is so good to be right...and my bank account really likes it too...
no clear cut number 1 this year....i think we can all agree on that.... | |

Posted: 1/8/2008 9:18:13 AM | | lsu did what it was asked to do, they won the match up of #1 and #2,thats all they can do,i know people want to start makind there cases for the bulldogs and usc, but how can you, about 6 or 7 years ago everybody was up in arms that nebraska got to play for the tittle when they did not even win there conference, but here we are having to listen tp people make that case for the bulldogs now,i think there a great team but if u dont win your division let along your conference sorry no game for you,and usc , give me a break they lost to stanford ( a 42 point underdog at home), and i dont even want to hear the health issues, keep in mind that lsu won the sec championship with a back up quaterback! the beauty of college football is the reg. season, every single weeks means so much, think about it if there was a playoff system heres a couple of things that would not have mattered, west virgina losing to pitt, usc losing to stanford, ohio state losing to illinoise, among so of the upsets, to me these type of upsets are what college football are all about,and the consequenses that come from them when you get upset by these schools. | |

Period.
Even the AP voted them unanimously #1. | |

Posted: 1/8/2008 11:58:40 AM | The president of the University of Georgia has gone public with his calling for , and has even laid out his plan for a seeded 8 team play off to determine a true football National Championship.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story? id=3186232&campaign=rss&source=NCFHeadlines
The only problem with this, just as the president of the University of Florida did a year ago, (but once the Gators were named to the title game , he disappeared) these presidents only come out when their schools have been passed over for the title game, or they feel they are about to be .
I think that most of us agree and would welcome a playoff.....these presidents (and conference commisioners) need to take a stand and keep it , and not go public just when they have been slighted by the BCS system. | |

Posted: 1/8/2008 12:07:35 PM | | you will run into the same problems if you have a playoff system as well,it will be whos 8 and 9, people always answer that with you cares , but they would care if it was there team looking from the outside in at that point,fact is that it will be the same people complaing then as it is now that the sec schools get to many in or something like that, they say they welcome it now, but when the times comes and 3 sec schools get in they will just cry about that then,i said it before and i will say it again the beauty of college football is the reg season, just leave it a lone. | |

lsu did what it did...and did what i expect them to do..they are number 1 no biggie to me...

Posted: 1/8/2008 1:12:37 PM | First off, congradulations to LSU on their win!
I agree with Eman, there were several teams that could have a valid arguement for a shot at a Championship game, and each holds as much weight as the next.
The BCS is going to discuss in depth the possibility of a "Plus One" game to be started with the 2011 bowl season, which would bring in a 4 team play off. There have been a few calls for an 8 team play off.
Much like the Basketball tournament, you will always have teams that are on the bubble and feel snubbed by not being included........but in an 8 team format, there is a vast difference between input from a 9 or 10 team left out and a 3 and 4 left out.
With no clear cut dominate teams this year, USC , Georgia and even WVU would have been very good choices as well as LSU/OSU. | |
