Fickell on the verge of tears during this press conference. feel bad for the guy, he got put in a hard situation and thrown to the wolves, and just told good luck.
Dat Eye Test.I still think Alabama is the best team in the nation.
If both sides hold up, Wisconsin/Oregon could be pretty entertaining.
Dat Eye Test.
Dem Cyclones.
Dat plane crash, short week and inexplicable sequence of fuck-ups.
Just wait, LSU will be lobbying for us too.
No way should they have to play Bama again after winning in Tuscaloosa.

Pretty sure Herbstreit at least is on record saying that he's changed his mind on that. And Virgina Tech has no business in the MNC talk. Their only role is to siphon votes away from OSU as far as I'm concerned.Should be OSU or VaTech (or Stanford if Oregon loses today).
Someone needs to dig out video of all the ESPN talking heads insisting that teams that didn't win their conference can not play for the title. Let's see how many SEC $$$ it takes to make them change their tune.

No way OSU should play LSU with that schedule.
Well Herbstreit is a hypocrite. You don't get to make broad statements and just change your mind because you feel like it.mre said:Pretty sure Herbstreit at least is on record saying that he's changed his mind on that.
Of course they change their mind if its the SEC. They'll change their mind back again next year if it is some other conference. Bunch of little bitches.
You lost to IOWA STATE. If we'd lost to Florida or lose to Auburn you wouldn't and won't hear a peep out of me about playing for a MNC game.If we beat OU, we'll be undisputed champs of the second-best conference. We deserve our shot.
I'm not looking forward to that matchup if it comes to be. Wisconsin's defense looked bad against Illinois when they were running a hurry-up offense. Illinois.
lolol
Considering how we've looked the past two weeks, I think it'll be closer than that. Not sure how good Wisky's receivers are though..? Aberdaris (sp?) is nice.
Foster is the worst kicker we've ever had in the series, so it shouldn't be all that surprising.That being Auburn's first KO return for TD in the rivalry is one of the craziest stats I've ever heard.

You can bring up the ISU argument all you want. Bama hasn't played any Big 12 teams, so you can't actually judge how good they are in comparison. Fuck the BCS, make some super conferences, have a playoff go down. Then you can say ISU beat OSU all you want because OSU is still probably the best team in the Big 12, and could easily give Bama or LSU a run for their money.
You don't lose to a bottom dweller in your conference and not get punished. OSU's punishment is sweating it out and (as it stands now) most likely being on the outside of the MNC picture. As much as you guys want it to count, winning your conference/division doesn't matter at all to the BCS. You can only hope for a voter revolt, because, short of that, the MNC game is going to be an all SEC affair.You can bring up the ISU argument all you want.

One "Game of the Century" was enough for 99% of the country.theviolenthero said:Do you wanna see the two best teams play or do you wanna see the game that looks the best on "paper"?
SEC is so overrated.
Wisconsin would pound any of the SEC teams not named LSU.
You need 25% of the second place votes and then the rest have to be third place votes. With VaTech winning (and hopefully Stanford) I like our chances.The thing is, it doesn't need to be much of a voter revolt. We need to have about 25% of the human voters put us ahead of you since we'll be undisputed #2 in the computers.
A decisive win over OU might give those voters reason to put us in.
