Only meatballs double post. the funny thing is this all wouldn't matter if he would have just clicked submit once

Purdue has a scholarship open, a need at guard, and apparently Dixon and Painter have a relationship from when Painter recruited him. Purdue is extremly conservative though so I doubt it happens - and I don't really think I would want it to happen. These situations are so tough though because do you condemn a kid for life for accusations? Reading the articles it sure seems like he did it, but yeah, passing judgment on a kid after reading a couple articles... idk... I don't know anything about him as a person. you don't know anything about a lot of people who are in jail, either. would you set them loose on the purdue campus? Haha, no, but they were convicted. I'm not defending the kid or saying he didn't do it. Like I said it won't happen anyway.

Brady is 11 back and no other QB has an active streak above 20.

Well that sucks, wasn't going to last forever. Probably only a matter of time until Brady catches him.

Come on Drew

I wish ND could play IU this year instead of last. Irish would probably get creamed but it would be interesting to see how they'd measure up. Already chalking up a win against Purdue? :D Haha, not at all, just would love the test of IU. The Purdue game should be a fun one. I hope so, I'm thinking ND will be a good measuring stick for Purdue. Xavier this weekend too. If we can win both maybe we make the tourney this year. Pomeroy gives Purdue a 44% chance to beat ND. I think that's high.

Well, no Rondo Saturday....

ND thumping Kentucky. Guess you don't get an Anthony Davis every year Cal. IU would've kicked their ass this year.

Obviously things change but with the current power structure, money, facilities, culture, coaching, recruiting, etc. the SEC is built to dominate college football regularly for the foreseeable future. Hell, they've won 6 in a row, and likely 7 with this year.

Yeah, I can see it's because Georgia would have an extra loss (to AL this week), but the 3rd place SEC team would fairly regularly make the playoff then while the SEC Championship game loser wouldn't make it. Right? The SEC has held 21 championship games. Both participants have been ranked in the top-4 going into the game three times (08 and 09 with Florida and Bama both times, and this year). In 08, Bama was undefeated and dropped to No. 4 in the BCS after the loss (and still made a BCS game). Florida was No. 4 going in and would not have made the playoff but would still have made a BCS game as the next best SEC team was a 9-3 Georgia. In 09, Florida lost and dropped to No. 5 but still made a BCS game. It's entirely possible they still get selected over No. 3 Cincy or No. 4 TCU in a playoff. I assume Alabama would have been in the same boat (both were undefeated) had they lost the SEC title game. The next best SEC team was 9-3 LSU. Only three other times has an SEC team ranked in the top-4 lost the SEC title game (94, 01 and 05). In 94, No. 3 Alabama lost to Florida and dropped to No. 6. Auburn was ranked in the top-10 but ineligible from postseason play. In 2001, No. 2 Tennessee lost the SEC title game to LSU and was left out of the BCS to a Florida team it beat 34-32 on the road. In 05, No. 3 LSU lost to Georgia and was left out of the BCS in favor of Notre Dame. So seeing as it's happened twice in 21 years, no, I don't think it will happen every year. Thanks, that's a lot more helpful. Every year was an exaggeration, but that makes 3 out of 5 years? That's not counting last year where Alabama and LSU couldn't play each other in the conference championship game but if LSU had lost to Georgia would they have ended up in a hypothetical Final 4 playoff? They were far enough ahead they probably would've I guess.

They put a [expletive] disclaimer in saying the selections were made under the assumption that Georgia loses this weekend. Your [expletive] committee wouldn't pick Oregon over Georgia if Georgia did not have another loss on their resume. It doesn't have to be the exact BCS rankings, in this circumstance that's what would happen.

3, if it were a 4 team playoff this year, they would have Alabama, Georgia, Florida ranked 2-4. An SEC Championship game would just reduce their championship contenders. The top 4 in the bcs don't automatically get in. That's the point of the selection committee. You appear to not be grasping this at all. Florida was in over Georgia because they were assuming a Georgia loss, also allowing Oregon in. Or are just trying to be difficult?

Wouldn't it be advantageous to the SEC to just cancel their championship game? This year they would have 3 of 4 participants. I would say based on the future setup (and the fact that the SEC gets high preseason rankings every year) the SEC would get 2 teams almost every year with an SEC championship game only reducing their chances to get a national champion each year.

Or does it just make sense to scrap conference championship games and expand the playoff? I would be more in favor of that.

Florida probably has the best resume of any sec team, Bama included Yet they lost to Georgia, at home. WLOCP is a neutral site. Florida also killed South Carolina(who killed UGA), and beat LSU and @aTM(neither of whom UGA played). Throw in a win @FSU(compared to....v. Georgia Tech I guess for UGA), and there's little question who had the better year. Georgia is in the title game because USC couldn't beat LSU and Georgia didn't have to. So should conferences start selecting championship game participants based on resume and go away from divisions?

It's stupid that Georgia beat Florida on the road and both teams have one loss yet Georgia would be the team left out. Florida is better off being in 3rd place in the SEC than 1st or 2nd. They can sit at home with a spot in the 4 team playoff already locked up while Georgia and Alabama (AHEAD OF THEM IN THE STANDINGS) have to play for one spot. How does that make sense? That's assuming Bama wins. Jesus. Don't fight the hypo. If Bama loses, GA is in the playoff. And do you think for 2 seconds Florida wouldn't gladly trade places with GA? This year they would gladly trade places. When the new rules are in effect, hell no they wouldn't.
