Week XIII

[BoylenOver]

Nice return for Milliner. Ball game.

Also, awesome two-point conversion.

[BoylenOver]

Almost no close games today -- tOSU losing to Michigan was the only notable game that was close at the end.

Kentucky-Tennessee was close.

[CardiacCoug]

Kentucky-Tennessee was close.

Forgot about that one -- no bowl game for Tennessee. Shows that it's tough for even elite programs to avoid downturns.

[BoylenOver]

Rematch in New Orleans.

As a Bama sympathizer, I feel bad for LSU, and had Oklahoma St or even Oregon made it through November undefeated they're probably more deserving, but it's almost impossible to argue for another team.

Not much has changed in four weeks. LSU's special teams gives them the edge, IMO.

Why would you feel bad for LSU?

Why would you feel bad for LSU?

Rematches are rare in a CFB season, and they generally favor the team that lost the first game. LSU should benefit from being able to play in a very favorable neutral site, though.

Okay. I guess I understand, but not really. I never feel bad for any team from the SEC.

Even when they play another SEC team?

Especially when they play another SEC team. That conference thinks so highly of itself, that it deserves anything that may be considered bad to any of its teams.

LSU may have to play Alabama for the fake championship. Boo hoo.

They'll win 6 consecutive BCS titles after this year. Pretty sure they've earned the ability to think highly of themselves.

Six consecutive fake titles. Big deal. It's not hard to win those titles when those who feed data into the computers are told which teams are considered the best by people from a group that has already decided which teams are best before the season starts.

But getting back on topic, I never feel bad for any SEC team. There is no reason to ever feel bad for any of them.

[BoylenOver]

Jeff Brantley is playing "500". Holy cow he looks bad.

The system for determining a champion in CFB isn't perfect, but the SEC has proven it's the best conference. The Big XII, Big Ten, and PAC have all had ample opportunity under the same system to unseat the SEC, but didn't capitalize.

I'm not saying that the SEC teams wouldn't have done it in a playoff, but I give them no credit especially because the top teams refuse to play non-conference games outside of their state boundaries. Hey, LSU, Alabama, Forida - go to Boise and play the Broncos or to Ann Arbor to play the Wolverines. Hell, go to Logan and play the Aggies. If you're so much better than everyone else, what are you afraid of?

Also, the BCS is so flawed that there's no reason for me to be impressed too much by those teams that play for it's fake championship. Until there is a playoff in which every Division I team has an opportunity to play for the title, I'll mock the system and it's winners.

You haven't paid attention to LSU's schedule this year have you?

(I'm not a BCS fan, btw.)
