The Bowls love their established brands. Once Michigan had a decent enough resume, they were in. And really, OSU needs to earn it. There's no reason to lose to OU. I'm with you on the circumstances around the ISU loss. It was a fluke and it cost you your shot, but beating OU, winning the Big 1x, and winning the Fiesta is a hell of a season

"The Eye Test" is the football equivalent of religious faith.
How can you question what someone else holds to be self-evident?
Yeah, thats some bullshit.

No. They're an elite team, Stanford's just that good
David Shaw said the same thing... Other than today, I'd say VT has just been lucky to have had their loss the earliest. They did look fantastic today...
150 yards, 3 TD, 1 Int. If he can get to 4TD's and as least 250 yards, I think Luck's all year campaign would lift him to the heisman. Given that Gerhardt was completely robbed 2 years ago, I'd be glad to have him win it over an Arkansas running back. (I actually thought Richardson was the best RB in Alabama back in 2009).
Of course, Griffen is looking fantastic, but he's been knocked out of the game...
(BTW, I love this multiple quote thing...

Man, this shit is like the Florida-Auburn game all over again. Except Florida State is worse on offense and better on defense.
But that doesn't matter. Because the Florida offense can't score on anybody.

Its the other stat you are winning that is going to win you the game
I don't count those points. They feel unearned.

Well, that was a rookie move.
Add 7 more to those unearned points. And I think I'm on my 7th jack and coke

I was about to agree with you but it doesnt matter now.
Just when the Tech boards are starting to say the game is over, their massive RB fumbles and possibly goes out of the game with a concussion.
Not going to be a pretty win if we manage to do it, with RGIII and their RB going down, but I'll take a win however we can get it at this point. Have to keep the bowl eligibility streak going.

Mother fucker.

More stupid ass picks. At least this one can be blamed on a rookie mistake though.

Yeah, it looked like he was starting to warm up and get comfortable too.

So, even with a loss in the SEC Title Game, the SEC is guaranteed at least one spot in the MNC, and frankly, my guess is the only other possible MNC spot will go to the Bedlam winner if it doesn't go to another SEC team.

Fuck the Criminoles.
It's the SEC, stop blaspheming. Once the front-runner has been anointed, they'll make sure the champ plays for the MNC.
If there's not a worthy team, they'll pool their money to find the next Cam and have an NBA-style lottery to see who gets him.
Now go sit in a corner for questioning their inherent superiority.

Vanderbilt is a legit SEC team.
They would win any other conference if they were in it.
They would kick OK State's butt.

This is embarrassing.
LSU is already in the title game even if they lose and deservedly so. They've handled an absolute monster of a schedule.
Still definitely in this game, but our margin for error has gone way down.
Down by three scores, but there's an entire quarter left and Baylor appears to have lost both their starting QB and RB. Without Ganaway I don't think the deep pass is going to be as available for Florence as it has been the rest of this half.

At least Florida doesnt lose to teams like Wake Forest.

It's also a matter of who travels well for these big bowls. I went to the 1994 Hall of Fame Bowl where Michigan played NC State. Attendance was 52,649 and I think about 80% of the crowd was Michigan fans. Michigan will put asses in the seats guaranteed which is more than some schools can say.
Nope. They lose to teams that lose to Wake Forest. Cry some more Gators!
