Roll Tide

I think we are all happy to see AL lose because of the SEC dominance talk over the past years

Not all.

[TR21HP]

I had nothing against the SEC until ESPN, along with their partnership with the SEC, started to shove the SEC down our throats with their over coverage and self promotion of the conference. Alabama had a nice team this year they just got beat by Ohio State.

This is when it got really bad. I heard an ESPn broadcaster say "Michigan State has been doing so well because they play like an SEC team." No, you couldn't be more wrong. The Spartans play about as traditional of Big Ten football as there is, they do nothing of the sort.

What would you say is the difference between a traditional Big 10 style and SEC style?

[fishersofmen]

The Big 10 style is a tough guy style.....

The pay for the players and illegalitys are better in the SEC.

The pay for the players and illegalitys are better in the SEC.

Not to mention the near complete lack of academic standards

[TR21HP]

The SEC runs a lot more spread offense and the Big 10 runs more pro set although the difference is getting closer with more Big 10 teams running versions of the spread.

Never let facts get in the way of your butthurt for the SEC.

So that may explain the response of a member of the Vikings that went to a certain SEC conference school when asked about fan mail. His response stated that he gets a kick out of people sending him handwritten letters because he can't read cursive, " I speak English man!" was his response.

If it makes you feel better to think that the only way a college could possibly have a better football program than Minnesota is because they are all a bunch of dumb, toothless, backwoods, rednecks who cheat, then by all means don't worry about facts.

I hate to tell you but there are dumb people in every college.

No matter how intense the disappointment Dave, its best to not respond to the detractors.

Looks like they have their teeth though.

Nice! Taking recruiting propaganda right off the U of A HSOforum.

[fishersofmen]

Looks like they have their teeth though.

Some good lookin teeth too.

[Slabasaurus]

Joking aside, y'all need to go down check out some of the girls on the Auburn campus... or check out some of the cart gals they have on the RTJ golf courses down there...

They are not ugly. Not one bit.

Now for the tide gals, yeah. They're ugly, but mostly just on the inside. The outsides still look purdy - not that I'd admit it to any of their faces... Hot chick in a 'bama shirt is an auto reduction of 8 pts on the 10 pts scale of looks.

[hawgchaser]

Congratulations, Buckeyes!!! You've discredited Alabama's glass trophies; proven the need to open the championship up to competition rather than an appointment game and shown the foible of using rankings rather than competition to arrive at a national finals game. And to think...by the ranking criteria, you "shouldn't" have even been in the top four. I think there may be some changes in some of the HS senior prep stars' college plans???

[Bryce]

Anyone ever have a boss that graduated from an SEC school?

[JBMasterAngler]

Ohio State could easily have routed the ducks by ALOT more if they wouldn't have turned the ball over so many times! I picked OSU to win, but wow Wasn't expecting domination like that!

How do you figure Alabama shouldn't have been in the top 4? If anyone it was Oregon and Florida state that didn't belong.

[CaptainMusky]

How do you figure Alabama shouldn't have been in the top 4? If anyone it was Oregon and Florida state that didn't belong.

Gotta love this, so Alabama deserved to be in consideration over the undefeated FSU? Pretty much supporting the whole playoff then right? Prior years Ohio State wouldnt have been in the championship game and it would have been gifted to either FSU or Alabama. Now they have a playoff and you dont believe the team with the best record doesnt even deserve to be in the playoff?

You cannot have it both ways BigDave. You either live by the record and how the committee votes or agree with the playoff system.
