College Football - Week of 9/27

[Mephistopheles]

Im pretty sure after the Michigan game everyone still thought Florida was better.

a tebow run here to determine this game

[SouthSideRyan]

Even if Florida should lose today, any SEC team will have multiple chances to get back into national title contention by the end of the year. Heck, 2 losses isn't out of the question.

 

Which would beg the question: Is a two loss SEC team better then a 1 loss Non-Sec team?

 

Anybody who knows my conference loyalty knows the answer to that question. But I will say it would also depend on who the non-Sec team is. But if LSU proved last yr is that a 2 loss SEC team was better clearly better then what the Big 10 had to offer (and Michigan had to hang on against Florida).

 

Right now the NT game would be Oklahoma and........whoever survives at the end of the season. But we know things should and will change between now and Jan.

 

What a ridiculous all-encompassing question. Love that Michigan had to "hang on" against Florida. Nevermind, that EVERYONE said Florida was clearly superior to Michigan. And then they lost.

 

But I'm sure this game is just proof of the SEC's superiority that even your bad teams are top 20 caliber. Not that Florida is being taken to the wire against a mediocre team.

 

I think the real question is should an 8 loss Mississippi St. Team get a BCS bid instead of another conference winner?

[Guest]

Didn't get it.

 

Florida is going to lose.

a tebow run here to determine this game

 

TEBOW IS STOPPED!!

[Mephistopheles]

haha. poor playcalling on the last four plays.

 

 

1. Lob it up for a TD - miss

2. Lob it up for a TD - miss

3. 3rd and ten run an option with one timeout.

4. Run Tebow right behind your third string offensive guard on 4th and 2.

Im pretty sure after the Michigan game everyone still thought Florida was better.

 

I'm pretty sure after the 2006 World Series nobody thought the Cardinals were the best team in baseball. But they're still hanging the banner.

 

I'm pretty sure after the Michigan game that Michigan were the winners and Florida were the losers. No matter how many times Florida wins if the game was replayed it doesn't matter, Michigan won.

[hotshot13422]

if ole miss had won all their games, how high would they be ranked?

[Mephistopheles]

After today, oh 20 or so.

Did I ever say that wasn't true? Florida ought to fall to around 12 or so. Behind USC and ahead of OSU, I think. Probably behind Auburn too. Either way, they win out, they'll still be in the title game. That being said, they're not a very good chance to win out against their schedule. They still control their own destiny. As a 1 loss team they'd get in over every other 1 loss team. But, with the way the offense has spurted around the first four games, they won't beat LSU and probably won't beat Georgia, much less beating LSU twice or LSU and Alabama or Auburn.

I'm not ready to put OU in the NC game just yet. Mizzou has a really good offense, and games at Oklahoma State are always tough for Oklahoma.

Well what's the point of saying Florida is better. Bama boy went on his standard rant and made a ridiculous remark about a Michigan team that beat Florida last year, and you follow it up saying Florida was the better team. What are you getting at?

I don't appreciate the mocking SSR so cool it. I was asking a question based on what bukie said about the SEC. That is not a question I would ask out the blue. (Because I know Big 10 homers would not like the answer but in their hearts know it to be true) I was asking a simple question in reference to a previous post.

 

And the answer still holds true...Michigan last yr while a good team, still barely hung on and beat the Gators regardless of what Big 10 homers say. And my opinion still is...a 2 loss SEC team is better then 90% 1 loss no SEC teams. If you can't deal with it, that's your problem. I would take Alabama/Georgia/LSU/Florida against other conferences best teams anyday of the week.

 

So save your mocking for your fellow Big 10 fans, or whichever conference holds your loyalty.

who is bama boy? is redflash a bama fan?

[Derwood]

well at this point, Penn State is a lock for the Top 10 with a win tonight.

 

most predictable call ever on 4th down for Florida there. The entire universe knew Tebow was keeping it

[Mephistopheles]

penn state would have jumped in with a win even if usc and uf won.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

A 4 loss Michigan team beat Florida in Orlando. There is no way to spin that as being a positive thing for the SEC.

[Derwood]

penn state would have jumped in with a win even if usc and uf won.

 

i think so too, but now there's no doubt

[SouthSideRyan]

Even if it's predictable, it usually works. It's the right call IMO.

[Guest]

UCLA scored a touchdown on offense for the first time since the fourth quarter against Tennessee. :shock:

[Mephistopheles]

they hadnt been able to win up front all game long. they had been very successful with the option with harvin.

[Sammys Boombox]

Last Week: Mizzou wins and drops a spot.

This Week: Mizzou doesn't play and most likely gains two spots.

[SouthSideRyan]

I only started watching when I found it on Yahoo for the 4th quarter, so I'll take your word for it. I just hate long developing plays on 4th and short. If not Tebow up the middle, one of his jump passes might not have been terrible, especially considering how awful you say the kicking game is.

I said Michigan won the game, but you keep eyeing in on the word "barely." So what. Michigan won the game, Florida didn't so be it. But it doesn't change the fact that Florida was better team, they didn't play like it. I congradulated Michigan fans when the game was over, and I didn't hold anything on Michigan.

 

So whatever this "rant" you are talking about SSR is only in your mind, my friend. I never said the better team should have won the game, I said Michigan barely won the game, and looking at the score of the game (41-35) maybe barely is too strong of a word, but Michigan had to hold onto the game. So whatever problem you have with me, just dropped it. Michigan won despite being the 2nd best team on the field. So, move on SSR.......OR don't. I don't care. Just stop dragging my name though the mud.

I don't think there is a single Big Ten fan on here who believes the league is as good as the SEC. It's clearly not. I've yet to see anyone argue it is.

 

However, Michigan beat Florida last year. They were supposed to get blown out. They didn't; they won the game. Who cares if they "barely hung on"? I fail to see what point you are trying to argue here.
