Who says it has to be 'fair' for the number one team? That's ridiculous-- the polls shouldn't make a national champion and in certain years, with multiple undefeated teams, why shouldn't it be decided on the field? What was Auburns reward for going undefeated 3 years ago?
Just cuz a team is number 1 doesn't mean they're the greatest-- they should have to prove it on the field, just like every other team that would be in this playoff.

I'm not sure if he's married in or not, but he played under Terry in the 80s and then coached alongside him and Tommy at Samford as well as later at Auburn where he stayed until Terry resigned. He joined LSU when Nick Saban was hired and has been there since, but he's reportedly been unhappy and has been named as one of the top candidates to replace Jeff for the past month.
Nothing's public, but with our big push in LA, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if there was some truth to it all. I'd imagine whoever is named the new OC will be first in line to replace Bobby when he does retire.

Recruiting is definitely off this year, although we did finish up #3 last year. FSU is typically a slow starter, but we've been particularly slow this year and only have 20 scholarships available. I imagine this year we'll end up somewhere in the teens, but be much improved next year after we hopefully bounce back with a more capable OC.
Meier said:
Bowden is probably the best recruiting finisher out there, even in his position now.
I think that your recruiting wouldn't be down this year if your admins would get on the ball and hire an OC already, unless they are doing what I think they are doing, and that is not only looking for an OC...but an eventual replacement for Bobby.

heh, we will certainly see how true that is in about a month.
OT:
It was 2 years ago to do the day from the BCS selection that Urban Meyer was named head coach of the Florida Gators. In literally 2 years to the day, he brings us from the Zook era to the National Championship game.
Should we win, Meyer should be coach of the year. He or Schiano.

No no .. I was saying that it was Boise St this year (which is an ideal #8 to have to play). But most other years it's going to be a second place team from the PAC/BIG10/SEC. That sucks!
For example, it was Miami FL in the #8 spot in 2005. That's not fair to make a #1 team play them, then go on and have to win two more games.
Here's how last year's mythical tournament would have shook out:
USC
Miami
Buckeyes
Oregon
Penn State
Notre Dame
Texas
Georgia
On the outside: LSU, Alabama, Auburn, V Tech, WV, TCU
2 Big Ten's, 2 Pac-10's
Every year you would have that, overrepresentation of Big 10 or Pac-10/SEC and other deserving teams getting shut out. I
Ironically, WV wound up beating Georgia head to head in their bowl game. Oregon lost to Oklahoma in their bowl game.

Don't the teams participating in the bowls get two shares?

Hah, apparently Terry wants to come back and take over the offense and would do it for free. Don't do it Bobby!

Chris Leak
Anyway...should be Darren McFadden, Ray Rice, Mike Hart, and maybe Steve Slaton and Garret Wolfe
Baby Quinn will no doubt be there, unfortunately
Calvin Johnson should be there - it's not his fault that his QB is a joke
Battlezone said:
Yeah, something like that. The money for every bowl game is seperated into 14 shares. 12 Shares go to the 12 teams, the 13th share goes to the team that went to that bowl, and the 14 share goes to the SEC front office. That's how I remember it working, for the SEC anyway.
It's pointless to have six or four when you can have eight and take the same amount of time. I'd settle for six but four isn't doing anything that you don't have now. these things need to be as inclusive as possible for the sake of having the best quality of champion.ToxicAdam said:
USC the 7th toughest? GTFO here. I agree with weighting the games played, but there's still no ****ing way USC's schedule ranks that high. The weighting is clearly biased...to the Pac10, obviously. That extra conference game shit is a copout considering it's only a two or three team conference. That extra conference game is a gimme for USC considering the composition of the conference. PEACE.Cyan said:
I can see the USC thing. When you're comparing USC's opponents, you have to remember who they played. Even teams like Stanford, which went what, 1-11?, played a full schedule of sweet teams.
With the SEC, Florida plays sweet teams, but a) Those teams don't necessarily play sweet teams, and b) The crappy teams that florida plays end up scheduling REALLY crappy teams, which hurts Florida.

At halftime in the UCLA basketball game tonight the team and Dorrell presented the Victory Bell to everyone and Dorrell gave a speech to the crowd. He was cracking cocky smiles and being generally energetic. I have not seen shit like that from this guy, ever. Who the hell kidnapped the real man and replaced him with this pod person? Because I would like to give him, her or it a medal!
Oh yeah, I'm watching the ABC broadcast of the game and y'all missed out big time during the TV timeout around the 5 minute mark of the fourth quarter when both teams got the unsportsmanlike penalties. That was probably my favorite part of the whole enchilada and it probably happened while everyone else in the country was viewing one of those ****ing "THIS IS URH COUNTRYYYYYYY" commercials. The "highlights" of it when they come back don't capture the moment at all.

6. Reggie Nelson. I love Reggie Nelson. I love his dreadlocks, his impossibly deep pass drops, and his tendency to separate tooth from jaw whenever a receiver is foolish enough to approach the Reggie Nelson Demilitarized Zone, which extends from the deep middle of the field to Pyongyang. Fear him. Love him.
:lol

Looks like the FHSAA will be investigating Lakeland (school from Central Florida that one of the top High Schools in the country) due to some comments that their star RB Chris Rainey made recently (copy of the audio interview here: http://www.miami.com/multimedia/miami/news/archive/audio/ChrisRainey.html).
It could affect his eligibility for the final and potentially for going to UF.

What a dumbass. Yeah, UF should revoke his offer just because he's not that bright.
Of course this stuff goes on in any area where high school ball is big. It's nasty, but it happens.
Either way, we don't really need widereceivers, they might get a total of 10 catches all of next year once Tebow and Harvin start lining up back there

He's actually a RB -- probably the best in the state behind Noel Devine. I'm not sure why he's listed at WR on Rivals and Scout. In the semi-finals against Daytona Mainland, he ran for 326 yards (they apparently averaged 57 allowed per game and he picked up a 72-yard TD run early on :lol).
I feel bad for the kid to a certain extent.. he's clearly an amazing talent and it's not like this doesn't always happen. I'd hate to see his whole football career go up in smoke over this. It's not like he broke the law or anything. If you listen to the audio interview, he's kind of goaded into saying stupid stuff too.

Looks like Chris Rainey will be out for the State Championship game between Lakeland and St. Thomas Aquinas. LHS has 6 players joining the Gators next year.
