I mean...that's just the nature of divisions though. For example, the Twins made the MLB playoffs this year with a .534 win%. Three teams in MLB had better records than them that didn't make the playoffs. It's kind of the penalty for not finishing either 1st or 2nd in your division. Just win and there won't be a problem.

As for the bowls, I think you can re-work that system a bit. If you're worried about the fans having to travel to far-flung locations (many already make grand trips for regular season SEC games)...then take NCAA basketball's approach and have the bowls work regionally.

i second this

coaches poll is a joke. what coach, in the middle of getting his team ready for a game this next week, is going to take the time to sit and watch a buncha games? not one. they probably either have assistants do it or they just watch sportscenter and rank em based on scores.

im probably alone in thinking that if were going to have a computer program that bases everything on record, strength of schedule, etc. we should use the computer rankings and nothing else. this would actually put Bama and Cincy in the NC game.

So what bowls are available regionally to teams in the MWC, WAC, Big Ten and Big East?

Your problem is still not solved. And I think it's kinda funny that when it comes to MLB we're okay with Divisions being a big decider in who plays post season, rather than the 4 best teams in each league... but when it comes to college football we demand/expect it to be done 1-8 or 1-16.

The reason that I'm okay with divisions being a decider is that it still allows for teams to control their destiny...if they keep winning, they keep advancing. The reason that the CFB system sucks is that things are simply out of the hands of teams...they can keep winning, but they still get locked out.

Four in a row for the best football conference in the country. LOL silly Big Ten and your second tier teams!

Think you got your threads mixed up there, big guy.

I was wondering if you'd crawl out from your rock. Congrats.

bro

Great...now my eyes are bleeding...

Do the bumpty bump.

GO COCKS

Cam Newton has to win the Heisman.......Auburn is a damn good team

My only critique is that our defense hasn't been great until the 4th quarter or so...but yes...I'm glad that my cautious optimism is paying off to this point.

It's entirely possible that the Nov 13th game between Auburn and the Dawgs will have a SEC Championship birth on the line...

... and I don't mean for Auburn. Yes, if South Carolina can lose 2 SEC games (they still have Arkansas and Florida), Georgia would control its own destiny. I can definitely see us beating Kentucky and those damn Gators, so the Tigers would be the final hurdle (albeit a huge one) for us to have an incredible comeback season.



oh, and the Falcons will play for the NFC Championship this year.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your SEC coach of the year...

What's going on here? Did he drop his gum or something? Or is he eating grass?

he's eating grass...

from lebatard's twitter..

Times are tough, and chewing tobacco has doubled in price over the last few years.

I said...it's great to be an Auburn Tiger!

Thread title.

War Eagle!

i do hear it pays well.

That was not a pretty Auburn game today. That said, it was kind of fun.

LSU wins. Georgia loses. Think I'm okay with that.

Well the Gators already look better than they did last season.

Granted, they did play FAU.

Of course, they do have somewhat of a tough schedule, so I guess I'll see how it plays out.

Last time the top 3 in rankings were from the same conference?

I'm an SEC fan, but I really don't want to see LSU and Alabama again. Really really don't.

Anyone hope Arkansas and Auburn pull off the upsets? I just want to see the shit storm that will come after that in regards to the BCS Standings.

Yes.

If LSU inexplicably lost to Georgia, should they still be in the BCS title game?

I think it would be great if the BCS championship was LSU vs. Alabama and neither team won their own conference.

Not that it would actually make a playoff system more likely, but it would be fun to talk about.

I think LSU and Alabama are probably the two best teams in the country, but I'd rather see LSU vs Oklahoma St. and have Alabama play Stanford.

Although I think Alabama's defense would swallow up Stanford's receivers and Luck would have nobody to throw to.

But I would love to have Justin Blackmon and the Honey Badger out there together.

not sure if i'm the last person to know about this, but it's pretty funny (to me anyways).

I first learned about the honey badger from Cracked's 6 Animals That Just Don't Give a Fuck.
