I almost ruptured my spleen laughing. The fact that they lost to another team that ALSO has no business being ranked was even better.

Should be no questions as to whether or not a mid major conference belongs in the championship. NO is the resounding answer. Compare that then the Auburn vs. Bama game. There are 2 different leagues of play.

10:20 IS exactly RIGHT. Put either of their asses in the SEC and OUCH.

GO TCU!

SEC would have a tough time playing in Texas. Always have, always will.

Yeah, the SEC would have a tough time playing in Texas, but we would have a better idea of how hard if a Texas team would not have JUST LOST LAST YEAR to Alabama in the BCS Championship Game. Geez.

By the way, Texas is 1-1 in the BCS, no other Texas team has gone. The SEC is 6-0, won the last four years straight, with three different teams in that run. Tennessee also won the first one. God willing, Auburn will be the fifth SEC team to win a Championship, and that will make five years straight, with four different teams.

Think before you hit "Publish."

TCU paul, not Texas. I can't bring myself to make the next comment.

And paul, did you ever consider it is a much more competitive situation and losing one game in that league is much akin to a MS team even showing up in contention?

And for the record, after the ass-whoopin' over Alabama...

GO WAR EAGLES...

Would love to see TCU - AUBURN....

Did you not say that the SEC would have a tough time playing in Texas?

Sorry, when I think of Texas, I think of the major conference with the four year colleges, I never even consider the Mountain West Community Colleges.

When I said Texas, yes I was thinking of Texas in general. Far better football in TX IMO, I consider it equivalent to FL, even though they are having difficulties lately - Tebo missing? I'm just saying lets bring in TCU. They are for real. The SEC loves to brag, but they do it under the obvious argument "we are better" because we are the SEC. History as you reference is just that, the past, ask Alabama after yesterday.

Yes its me.

Only problem is I remember this same crap from TCU a few years ago and then USM beat the shit out of them.

TCU wants respect? Follow the path taken by FSU and Miami: play good teams even if on the road and actually beat them. Doesn't help when a team like Hawaii loses only once and then gets destroyed in the Sugar Bowl either.

Same shit paul brings up, it was years ago...

If they showed up and beat 'em, I'm right, if not, I'm sold on your analysis.

It is hard to argue against the SEC being superior to all the other conferences, especially when you use the BCS as your gauge.

By the way, it is my opinion that the National Championship Game should be the Big 12-South v. the SEC Champ, every year. That way we would be assured of the best game possible.

A humongous sports blogger broke down the BCS earlier this year. I read his stuff all the time because he is a stinking genius when it comes to college footbaw. Here is the professional breakdown by a person that obviously makes a huge salary talking college footbaw.

She is cute paul, oh, and the analysis, excellent link, fantastic anchor text and...new calling?

KK, if I could get paid for talking about college footbaw, I would be the happiest guy in the world.

Boise State: funniest upset I've seen since the Longwitz-Ratcliff runoff.

Even funnier is LSU losing to the Hawgs!
LSU to Liberty bowl!!!

Utah wiped the floor with Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

TCU would destroy Auburn.

31-17 is wiping the floor?

Wasn't that was the year that Number 1 Alabama played Number 2 Florida for the National Championship in Atlanta right? Alabama lost and had to play Utah in the silly season. I have that right, don't I?

Funny. Many love the Carel that is the BCS. However, if that is the case, just stop the chrade and and only let teams from the SEC, Big 10 (11) and Pac-10 play football. The BCS is a failure and is set up only to allow programs with "BCS status" get access.

Just because BSU lost one game does not mean they are any worse then Auburn. BSU has already proven themselves as a program (see Fiesta Bowl).

A playoff would solve this dispute.

Remember, the SEC has shitty teams too, just look at Vandy and Old Mess. Conference affiliation has NOTHING to do with how good a team is. Being the worst team in the SEC isn't saying much...

4:10- Auburn is the Tigers or Plainsmen, never the War Eagles. "War Eagle" is a chant or cry.

Anon 2:52, Mississippi State is historically the worst team in the SEC with an average win total of 4.5 a season.

As far as the playoff is concerned, there are two conferences that diametrically opposed to it and they are the PAC-10 (3 bowl eligible teams this year) and the Big 10(11)(12) (8 bowl eligible teams this year).

I suggest that the MWC, the PAC-10, and the WAC get together and play a championship. The Big 12 South and the SEC get together and play a championship. The winner of the latter will get to play the All-Stars from the former. That might be a good game, but probably not.

Anon 2:53, War Eagle is also a Tramp Stamp: http://media.ks1075.com/AM%20SHOW%20AUGUST%202010/lowerbacktatt.jpg

Being the worst team in the SEC isn't saying much...

So true...

I love it, "we suck less"(tm) seems to be the mantra of teams lately.

paul, really a dude tramp stamp... huh?

That says it all, JDBerry.

It is impossible for a non-AQ team to play an SEC schedule because the SEC will not let them in. The non-AQ can only play the schedule they have. SO it is complete BS to not let the non-AQ join a BCS conference, then punish them for not playing that schedule.

The circular argument is amusing. They could join the PAC-10 or the Big 10(11)(12) if those conferences wanted to play a championship.

Or, the Boise States and the Utahs could maybe schedule GOOD teams and take the money hit.

But, they won't do it and they will fade away just like Rutgers, IF the sportscasters that all went to SoCal or THE Ohio State would shut up about them.

Perspective, Boise State lost to Nevada. Yes, I realize that Nevada is ranked, but not because they are good, but to prop up Boise State. Utah? Same thing.

Two games caused the mid major conference teams to even get into the discussion - Boise State's victory over Oklahoma and Utah's stomping of Alabama. Take those away and no one in their right mind would think that ANY mid major team could stay in the stadium with the top SEC and Big 12teams.

The SEC and Big 12 clearly produce the best teams, and despite my Oklahoma upbringing and longtime Texas residence, I have to admit that the SEC is the king. Yes, Vandy and Ole Miss aren't very good this year, but I think they're the only two teams in the conference that aren't bowl-eligible. I think Auburn/Oregon is in our future, although I won't be sad to see Oregon State win this weekend and set up a TCU/Auburn title game. BB

Hey Paul,

The SEC really showed a "close" game tonight. Isn't this a championship game?

Go TCU.

KK

Yes, KK, the Auburn Tigers won the World Championship Game today.

Now, on to the silly season and fun times, the work is over.
