NCAA 2009-2010 The Bowls

It still makes my point that the SEC is overrated, that is why they get in the BCS game.

Lol, by winning? What else could Alabama do this year? The started the season by playing a huge OOC game against the current #12 team in the nation, and won in convincing fashion. Then played a tough SEC schedule against several then top 25 ranked teams, and decisively beat the then #1 team in the nation. So if they shouldnt be there, who should? TCU? Boise?

Same last year with Florida?

Then look at bowl records as well. If they ARE overrated, it does not speak kindly for the other conferences out there based on those facts.

Alabama is not overrated. It's teams like Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, and Ole Miss that are overrated. They all act like they are just as good as Alabama, yet somehow wind up 7-5, but they wouldn't drop a game to anyone OOC EVER. That's where the SEC gets the overrated reputation.

Well Georgia did beat the ACC champ in an OOC game

Then why is it they win?

Because all the bowls are like home games for the SEC, have you not been paying attention?

There you go again. Need I remind you there are, count them 6, BCS conferences, not 2. So what, Georgia beat GT. GT also beat 2 SEC teams. Whoops. And Oklahoma St beat Georgia. Forgot about the Big XII. I'm sure Tennessee would like to forget about the Pac 10 since they lost to UCLA.

I am not disputing those losses.

Here is the total OOC record for the BCS conferences. With the record against other BCS conferences second

Here's the final chart entering bowl competition:
SEC 42-6 (.875) 10-4
Big East 32-8 (.800) 9-7
Pac-10 21-10 (.677) 8-7
ACC 30-18 (.625) 9-11

OK, there you go. Cincinnati should be playing Alabama.

BCS is crap.

I would be fine with Cincy in the game, but I think Texas is the better team between those two.

 

[The Insider]

If FLA beats Cincinnati would the BCS then of gotten it "right" ?

 

[The Insider]

If bama wins and FLA wins.. There is no reason why those two will not be ranked #1 and #2 in the final rankings.

 

[Ronnie-]

Only if Texas wins! The SEC must go down!

 

[Curtis0620]

NO, they screwed TCU and Boise.

 

[The Insider]

So why does Cincinnati deserve it more then TCU or Boise or Texas or bama?

 

[Curtis0620]

They don't

That is the point.

Each has a case to be #1.

Will never be a national Champion without a playoff.

 

[The Insider]

Well that we can agree on..

 

[Ronnie-]

That is true. There will just be a BCS champion. And while most of us would agree that we would much rather have a playoff, this is sadly what we are stuck with right now.

It has flaws, but lets not forget it is still much better than it was before. At least IMO. For the life of me though, I cant understand why they did not do a top four mini playoff with the BCS instead of this extra game BS. This is basically no different than it was a couple of years ago except now you have two more teams sharing in the wealth. It really did not clear it up at all.

But what if Cincinnati beats Florida, same as Utah did to Alabama last year?

I'm sure Auburn has something to say about how fair the BCS is at picking a champion.

Personally I think the SEC is the best football conference, but I think the BCS is the worst possible way to pick a champion. For all we know, Utah would have beaten Florida last year in a playoff, after all, they beat Alabama worse than Florida did.

Without a real playoff, we'll never know who is truly the champion.

Yes Auburn got hosed, but do you really think the BCS is better than it was before the BCS? Not saying that it is the best, or even good, but before was even more random.

All the BcS cares about is the top 2 teams, the rest is just window dressing, they mean absolutely nothing.
