SEC RUNS ROUGHSHOD OVER BCS BOWLS
BCS Championship GameFlorida 41
Ohio St. 14
Sugar Bowl
LSU 41
Notre Dame 14
Florida finished ranked #1 by the AP Top 25 poll. LSU finishes #3, Auburn #9, Arkansas #15, and Georgia #23. No other Conference has five teams n the AP Top 25. That is a testament to the power of the SEC.
Boise State finished 13-0 at #5 in the AP poll. I was arguing last night with Darin from All Prep and No H about WHY Boise State shouldn't finish at #2. As Whitney Houston would say, the WAC is WHACK! Just because Boise State has gone undefeated, does not mean they deserve to be #2. It is all about strength of schedule. Look at their schedule:
DATE OPPONENT RESULT/TIME
08/31 Sac St W 45-0
09/07 Oregon St W 42-14
09/16 at Wyoming W 17-10
09/23 Hawaii W 41-34
09/30 at Utah W 36-3
10/07 La Tech W 55-14
10/15 at New Mexico St W 40-28
10/21 at Idaho W 42-26
11/01 Fresno St W 45-21
11/11 at San Jose St W 23-20
11/18 Utah St W 49-10
11/25 at Nevada W 38-7
01/01 vs #11 Oklahoma W 43-42
Sure, beating #11 Oklahoma was great, but the Sooners are not quite the team they used to be. If you want the recognition, then you have to schedule some BIG BOYS in the future. Why not schedule an SEC team? Hmmm? Why not leave the powder puff WAC and join another conference? There are options to avoid this in the future! If the NCAA had a football playoff, I think Boise St. would have been eliminated in the second round. Just my honest opinion.

The SEC ROCKS!
I'm SO glad Florida won last night!
GEAUX TIGERS!
(a fellow fan from tigerland!)
Don't even get me started on USC and their standing and their weak schedules for the past 4 years!
Grrrrrr - Tigers!
And we all know how much you know about football outside of the SEC...
I might be mistaken, but four of the teams from Boise's schedule won their bowl games too....
OSU played so bad last night you would've thought they were 4th ranked LSU instead of the NUMBER ONE RANKING THEY STILL HAVE.

That's it Brett...work it! Work it boy! Will see where they stand next year. HEHEHE!
Someday all these schools will have universities that their football teams can be proud of.
Actually there are SIX SEC teams in the Top 25. Tennessee comes in at #25. (23 in the Coaches Poll which Georgia did not make.)
I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I mean - after seeing how Ohio played in that game - do they really deserve #2?
Not in my opinion.
And the coaches poll? Please - that just the boys taking care of the boys.
If you check out the CBS standings - LSU came in 5th and BSU came in 3rd.
All matters of opinions.
Go Broncos!
