Well it’s official. If some Yahoo Sports writer says that the SEC sucks, then they must really suck. Someone should see if Alabama is willing to withdraw and let Ohio State take their spot.
The SEC has won the BCS Championship Bowl since 2006 until the present.
Betting line: Florida from the vaunted SEC over Louisville by 14 1/2!
It’s really quite simple. All the Fainting Irish have to do is: Join a conference in Division 1, play seven or so Top 25 teams in Division 1 during the regular season (still room for Army, Navy, Air Force, Akron and Appalachian State.......lol), and win out.
Since none of this will happen, continue to expect ZERO respect.
Your only chance against Bama is forcing them to play against the officials like South Carolina had to overcome.
When Jan 8 dawns and the SEC post season record is 6 and 3, I wonder what Mr Forde will have to say. Personally, I can’t wait for the playoff format to start just so the influence of pinhead writers like him in the ranking system is reduced.
Save your money boys. Take Bama and give the points.
Bama 48-14. And I say that as a Bama hater.
ROLL TIDE !!
This Notre Dame team is impressive in its unity and focus on this game. Both teams have some really good young men playing for them. It should be a good game.
The only advantage I see is that Alabama has been in the title game 3 of the past 4 years, so they know how to prepare for the game and many of the players are acclimated to the environment that they’ll have to play in.
Other than that it will be two storied programs battling for the right to be called National Champions.
As one famous quote goes “That’s why they play the game.”
Well, they do play the games for a reason. I’d wager that the top 75% of the BCS conference schools could beat each other on any given saturday, then throw in the occassional major upset or strong program from a sub tier conference and you have the makings of just not knowing!
That is precisely why I have lost interest in the entire college bowl season. Without a robust playoff system, there just is no way to know for certain. Add to that that the majority of the schools going to bowls lose a huge pile of cash on bowls for a program that in most of those cases are not even break even programs!
The bowl season in general has lost its way....
