FBC week 13 running thread

My example was not about logic. It's about perception of the two most recent championship games and their reflection upon the champion of the Big Ten. Talking about OU you have to go back several more years to a totally different college football landscape than the one we're currently witnessing.

 

No, it's a more fresh and relevant example of one Big Ten team not being on par with the past two SEC champions.

If another Big Ten team gets blown out in the championship game this year, then maybe we can start thinking about an indictment of the entire conference. But right now, it's only an indictment on the last two Ohio State teams.

And if you really want to indict the conference, then why are you discounting Michigan's win over Florida just last year? That's about as relevant -- and only six days less fresh! -- as the Ohio State game.

 

That makes much more sense, using the head-to-head. But I thought the first tie-breaker in the divisions was BCS standings. So does that mean BCS standings is tie breaker No. 2?

 

Florida's gonna beat Bama by 3 scores +. They'll play whatever Big 12 South team wins the B12CG. Bama will get the Sugar. Conference champions will go where they will. Utah gets the chump automatic. Another Big 12 South team will get an at-large. If Oregon State wins the Civil War, USC will get an at-large. If not, then Ohio State will get the at-large.

It's not really a mess. Not even close to last year, or 2004, or 2003, or 1998 really.

 

Because we're talking about teams capable of winning the national championship. Florida 2007 was almost as incapable of winning the title as LSU 2008. You're trying to drag me into the same old argument that gets spun here every week, and all I was doing was addressing waterytart's point.

 

If two teams tie, it's broken by head to head.
If three teams are tied, BCS breaks it.

 

No, it would have just been the next one in line because common opponents would have all been the same. But since it would be down to 2 teams, it would go to head-to-head.

 

Georgia's west teams 2007: Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn
Tennessee's west teams 2007: Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi State
LSU's east teams 2007: South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky

Grasping at straws, dude.

 

BCS was the tiebreaker for a three-way mess. But if Oklahoma loses next week, then it's only Texas and Texas Tech atop the Big 12 South, so it reverts back to head-to-head.

 

LSU still has a chance of finishing 5th in the SEC. Which is where Florida finished last year.

 

If Saban had bowl-preparation time to draw something up for Florida, I'd give Alabama more of a fighting chance. I knew people who thought LSU wouldn't be able to stay on the field with Oklahoma's offense in the 2003 title game, and look what happened.

Saban won't have that kind of time to prepare for Florida.

 

Yep. And Florida had a Heisman Trophy winner at QB. LSU has no QB.
