Rutgers never played against KSU.

Oops, sorry. Louisville beat Kansas St. then RUTGERS beat Louisville. My point is still valid.

A one-loss Rutgers deserves a shot before any two-loss teams.

Yeah, that's the price for having a competive league.

Every win in the SEC is a big win.

Every loss is a devastating loss.

BTW, does the SEC Championship game tonite remind anyone else of the OSU-UM game a few weeks ago?

You're not thinking clearly. Perhaps today's loss has clouded your judgment...OSU or Michigan would utterly dominate USC.

Uh-huh, just like USC would utterly dominate 6-5 UCLA, just like Texas would utterly dominate K. State, just like OSU would utterly dominate Illinois, just like last year USC would utterly dominated Texas in going for their 3rd national championship in a row(team of the century, donchaknow), just like Miami was going to utterly dominate OSU a few years ago and Penn St. a few years before that. I would think Big 10 (sic) fans might learn from the game in the Rose Bowl a few hours ago not to get the overconfident big head. The Big 10 (sic) has the lowest percent of bowl-eligible teams than any of the major conferences, including the Big Least. They may have the 2 best teams in the country, but without a playoff there is no way to say for certain.

I agree the season would have to be cut back to 10 games for a play off of any kind. There'd have to be other changes too.

but hey, after Iowa's year ::: sigh ::: I got no dog in this fight - I'm just enjoying College football for a few weeks when Iowa isn't finding a new way to lose.

The reason the Gators will-if they somehow win tonight vs ARK-be screwed by the BCS is one man: EX Gators Head Coach Steve Spurrier and his game-playing with the other SEC teams(running up the score) and the refs......

As bad as the third period was, the 4th period is making up for it.

But, Florida threw away any chance of jumping Mich in that pathitic third period.

Florida - FSU in 1996 rematch didn't cause the demise of the poll base championship.

I am not opposed to a playoff, but a playoff in college can only be done on paper and really would not be practical unless they would adopt an NFL 14-game schedule system.

It would be seven teams and Notre Dame each year in the sportswriters had anything to say about it..

No. They're playing better defense tonight than OSU-UM played.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I'd almost think you didn't like us Big Ten peoples.

This game is too close. Can't believe it, but I'm rooting for GA. I want Big Ten NC game.

I dunno, the pro's play up to 25 games each year (depending on how far they go in the playoffs.)

BTW, for full disclosure, Michigan is my second team after Texas, and I do hope they win it all next month. But I'm afraid that FL will jump them in the BCS, if they hold on and win.

Agreed. The media will act as though it's in doubt but I'm sure Tressel is already reviewing the game film from the Michigan game.
