Way to miss the point. Insert crappy bowl eligible team in the hypothetical future, maybe Notre Dame, instead of Indiana.j_crazy;947006 wrote:Only his if scenario is plausible. Yours is not especially since Indiana is already not bowl eligible.

LSU is way too deep in talent and big time players to not beat someone bad if they play their A game. But, as I said......I think they play bad and lose. Its bound to happen sometime. If not this game, possibly vs. Ark.

Well, LSU and Bama have taken care of business on the road vs. BCS conference teams that are ranked. And it looks like a undefeated team will play the winner of these 2. Do you feel as if Ok St, Boise, Stanford, and Clemson are better than LSU or Bama? Have you watched Bama and LSU this year....no one stacks up to them.FatHobbit;946974 wrote:I tend to agree with you, but everyone thought OSU and UM were untouchable that year. They were wrong, and until the year is over I think the jury is out on Bama and LSU this year. (A long way to go until the season is over.)
Possibly Oregon, who some say can still slip into the title game.karen lotz;947042 wrote:Are any of those teams as good as Alabama?.

I think Karen was saying that the LSU/Bama game is in Nov in which you acted like the game would be bigger if it was in Nov. Unless you were talking about the SEC title game which is in Dec.j_crazy;947064 wrote:No I'm saying because of the rivalry the osu game was bigger.

I agree with you. It looks to me like LSU and Bama are the best two teams in the country right now. (I will also admit I haven't watched them play very much but they are both destroying every team on their schedule.) But there is a long way to go and it won't surprise me if one of those teams gets upset before the end of the season.cats gone wild;947051 wrote:Well, LSU and Bama have taken care of business on the road vs. BCS conference teams that are ranked.

As for 2006, OSU only beat one good team, Michigan. They beat Texas (who ended up with 3 losses) and had a close game with Illinois. Michigan didnt kill the teams they faced on their "weak" schedule. And plus, you cant compare a B1G schedule to a SEC schedule that included ranked OOC teams.
Dont know if there is a long way to go, but......yes they could slip up. LSU could get beat by Ark or in the SEC title game (in which I highly doubt it cuz the East is weak)FatHobbit;947070 wrote: But there is a long way to go and it won't surprise me if one of those teams gets upset before the end of the season.
It will be interesting to me, if the winner of this game drops a game and there is another undefeated team, say Stanford. I can't see them leaving Stanford out of the title game if they are undefeated so I'll be curious to see which 1-loss SEC team would get in.cats gone wild;947073 wrote:Dont know if there is a long way to go, but......yes they could slip up.

Bama will have the easier road after the LSU game since AUB is pretty bad.
Im hoping Stanford slips up to USC or Oregon. Hoping Ok St loses in the coming weeks (great chance of that happening). And clemson........we will see. I for one am not sold on them. Boise has no shot even if undefeated. A one loss team will get in before them. Could be a HUGE shake up in the BCS this year. Lets hope so.FatHobbit;947075 wrote:It will be interesting to me, if the winner of this game drops a game and there is another undefeated team, say Stanford.

They only beat PSU by 16. Raped everybody else. Just goes to show everybody in the SEC that isnt the top 2-3 teams is overrated every year.karen lotz;947042 wrote:Are any of those teams as good as Alabama?

I tend to agree with this.sleeper;946964 wrote:OSU/Michigan was easily a bigger game. Best rivalry in all of sports, #1 vs #2, at night, in the most historic football stadium in the country, winner was guaranteed a birth in the title game, Heisman winner Troy Smith, Big 10 title on the line, etc.
LSU/Bama is still a big game, but let's not pretend its even close to OSU/Michigan.

Score of the Bama/PSU game doesnt indicate how much of a domination it was. It wasnt as close as the score indicates. If the teams in the SEC from 3 or 4 down are so bad, then why does the SEC have such a good bowl record year in and year out?Pick6;947136 wrote:They only beat PSU by 16. Raped everybody else.

didnt they go like 1 above .500 last bowl season along with Georgia losing to an average mid major program and finish under .500 only to be ranked at the beginning of the season only to flop again? There is no doubt the rest of the SEC is helped out by the success of their top 2 teams every year.cats gone wild;947191 wrote:Score of the Bama/PSU game doesnt indicate how much of a domination it was.

Georgia is ranked in the same spot now as they were at the beginning of the season, so not really.Pick6;947243 wrote:only to be ranked at the beginning of the season only to flop again?
whatever. They still lost to the only 2 decent teams they've played. And they havent beaten anyone that justifies them being ranked again. Another example of SEC love from the voters.Mulva;947254 wrote:Georgia is ranked in the same spot now as they were at the beginning of the season, so not really.
