Roll Tide!

That is all.

That was the wost title game we've had so far and even before that it was a farce of a game. BCS just continues to prove that it is the wrong thing for college football.

 

[Herschel]

Exactly. It was battle of the inept offenses as much as battle of the good defenses. Oregon, Wisconsin, Stanford or Oklahoma State would have at least been interesting as those teams can actually run AND pass the ball.

And they would have likely been shutout by either Lsu or Bama. Face it. The Sec is just a higher league.

 

[Crothian]

No, it was top heavy. According to computer rankings Big 12 was the strongest league this year. SEC has the reputation and the talking heads promote that over anything else. You can tell when the "eye test" is the best evidence they can provide. And LSU couldn't shut down bama, what would make anyone think they could shut down a real offense?

SEC had to drop one bowl because of Bama and LSU - while I would have liked to see more games between the Big-12 and SEC, I am happy...GO GAMECOCKS!!! A real defense shutting down a real offense.

Note: I can say that because Gamecocks winning is like the Spanish Inquisition...no one expects it! Bring out the comfy chair!

 

[Crothian]

I think everyone was expecting the Gamecocks to win, they were favored in that game. Bowl records show something but it needs to somehow factor in how many of those wins were favored as it's all about the match ups.

darnnit.. I was hoping for a thread about bioluminescent dinoflagellates.

I just heard from a relative of mine in New Orleans: today, the LSU Tigers got all the way to the Tide's 18 yard line but were unable to convert on 4th & 1.
