Captain Bill Burt Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Yep a good win. I was impressed with Petrino's classy behavior. Did anyone else notice how he gestured after LSU kicked that last field goal? I think my lip reading skills indicate he said "Good kick brother, right through the uprights." OTH it could have been "F*** Y** A**h***, you're running up the score." Now if Bama can kick a little Auburn butt, the Kajun and I can look forward to trash talk from now till January.

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Tonight, 7:00 PST, USC against cross-town rival UCLA. UCLA is going to the PAC-12 Championship, with a 6-5 (kaff) record. This is USC's (9-2) bowl game, thanks to the NCAA Death Penalty. Expect a beat-down. FightON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LSU/Alabama game was a good game, but stictly for entertainment value, the KSU/OSU [52-45 OSU] game that was going on at the same time was much better. Imagine the turmoil with the BCS if LSU gets beat by Georgia. Boomer Sooner Tull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you Okie, but that said, ON ANY GIVEN SATURDAY........ That game with Jawja could be a rude one for LSU if they are not watching. Teams have looked past this week's adversary to play the game with next week's and found that this week was the one they should have been watching. Got that?

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 From your lips to Les Miles ears I hope he's listening. Les knows better than to discount ANY SEC team- especially one with as much to prove as UGA has right now. At the beginning of the season, Richt was on the hot seat. Beating LS-Who? would take all that heat off him for at least a year, maybe more if he can do something next year. I know a lot of Bulldog fans and what they want is to face Boise State again. Can't say I blame them because their team was more like 22 guys wearing the same outfit than a football team in that game. I don't know (and really doubt, to be perfectly honest) the result of a rematch would be any different than what happened in Week 1, but I also think it would be a much, much more even match up than the first one. EDIT Uno, You've got a point. They spent all last year bragging about blowing out their conference opponents including powerhouse teams like LA Tech, New Mexico State and Fresno State (better know down south as the 'Who's Who of Preferred Homecoming Opponents'). Now that they are in a 'real' conference like the mighty Mountain West Conference (the home of Air Force, San Diego State and UNLV) their fans seem to think that they've really stepped up their game.

Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 No doubt Boise State is good. But, SEC, PAC12, Big-10 good? I have my doubts. They had one loss this year in conference, right? I guess as a hidebound traditionalist and card-carrying curmudgeon, Boise rubs me the wrong way. From that bilious blue turf abomination, to their hyper-active publicity department, to their booster's constant screech of "Undefeated!", there's just not a lot to identify with. Shut up and play the game. Maybe I'm a bit miffed, since the AP Coaches Poll has Boise and USC tied at 9th. Unpossible! The way the Trojans are playing, I believe they'd stomp the Broncos anywhere, including their Smurf Turf. But still, it's College Football! All good!

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Alas and alack, Slippery Rock was the engineer of their own demise this year. Just too many losses to be considered for the BCS championship game. Maybe, perhaps, could it be, next year? I sincerely hope so. But they did have a breakback schedule. I wonder if there is any thought of the Heisman for Cody ........ Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I haven't followed the PAC 12 closely this year, but I figger that they'd be 3rd or 4th in the SEC West Division (behind LSU, AL, and maybe Arkansas depending on how THAT matchup would have shaken out) and either tied for 1st with UGA or in 2nd tied with USC (we have one, too ) if they were in the SEC East. I also think they'd have at least 1 more loss and, depending on their theoretical SEC in conference schedule, maybe as many as 3 if they got the brown and smelly end of the scheduling stick this year. This is what they really did this year and who they played. Week Opponent Result Record 1 @Georgia W 35-21 1-0 3 @Toledo W 40-15 2-0 4 Tulsa W 41-21 3-0 5 Nevada W 30-10 4-0 6 @Fresno State W 57-7 5-0 7 @Colorado State W 63-13 6-0 8 Air Force W 37-26 7-0 10 @UNLV W 48-21 8-0 11 TCU L 36-35 8-1 12 @SanDiego State W 52-35 9-1 13 Wyoming W 36-14 10-1 14 New Mexico Georgia and TCU are the cream of the crop when it comes to their opponents. Georgia wasn't nearly ready for that game and TCU beat them. I think if you're playing teams like Wyoming and San Diego State for conference games, you really shouldn't try to compare yourself with schools that have to play elite caliber opponents in conference like you do in the SEC, PAC 12, etc... Let's face fact, which school in the SEC wouldn't love to trade one trip to Baton Rouge, Athens, Knoxville, or even Starksville to face MSU or up to TN to play Vanderbilt for the chance to play CO State and Wyoming as conference games instead? I bet every school in the PAC 12 or the Big 10 is the same way. Sorry, but running up a score on UNLV isn't nearly as impressive to me as winning in Neland, (or Ann Arbor or Pasadena) with a last second field goal against a ranked program. This is the biggest part of the BCS that I hate. Strength of opponents needs to be a major factor- even more so than it is at present. Screw margin of victory when you are dealing with the big mismatches- even if they are in conference opponents. Anybody worthy of being in the Top 25 can run up 40 or more on Fresno State (and probably quite a few that aren't) but not everybody in the Top 25 can beat another ranked team.

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Vanderbuilt (6-6), Kentucky (5-7), Mississippi (2-10), Mississippi State (6-6) -- nothing to brag about. I guess when you play in what for the last ten years has been consistantly the toughest conference in the NCAA you are subject to having a record such as these. Vandy for instance lost to Ga. and Ark., both ranked teams, by less than a touchdown. They were only blown out by Alabama, (by less than some nationaly ranked teams by the way), and played several other good teams like Fla. really well. If SEC teams didn't spend so much time beating hell outta' each other, they'd probably spread the whoopin' around even more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Tech I looked for Slippery Rock, without success. Assuming LSU beats Georgia, it looks like a rematch between LSU and Alabama. Even if the OSU Cowboys beat OU, I don't think it will be enough to put them in the #2 spot. Several sports writers say they don't want to see a rematch, so stranger things could happen, but Bama and LSU are in their own class this year IMHO.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 In my opinion, I do not believe that any team under the #2 rating is capable of playing the same level of football for 60 minutes as the top two. I would prefer a different matchup, but given the parameters of the BCS bowl allocations, I think that is what we will get. But I figure the two BEST TEAMS should play for all of the marbles. I just don't agree with BCS on how we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Given that the SEC is probably the strongest conference in the country today, in my opinion, the Big Twelve WAS right up there too. Now that they have broken up the Big 12, it looks to me like they SEC is all alone. The Big 10, or is it now the Big 12, have a lot going for it, but I do not believe that they are are on an even basis with the SEC. Pac 10 is good, but with the exception of USC, I do not see any teams that have the staying power to field a great team each year. However, it was not so long ago that the Florida teams, Miami, Florida and Florida State were the power houses in the South. Looks like the parameters have shifted to the West for now. If Jawja was to beat LSU, and that is a huge if, we could see the BCS in turmoil. Perhaps even turn on itself and devour all of the data which would leave Slippery Rock on top to play Houston for the national title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
