If Alabama loses to Auburn then beats Florida it would be a Big 12 vs Big 12 match up. Alabama would be below the Texas Tech vs Oklahoma winner and Texas.

What if this, how 'bout that...

This scenario, that scenario...

I know this is a comment that has been hashed out by many, loved by us that want change, and hated by those that are traditionalists....but DAMN....

PLAYOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the only sport that does guesswork on it's champion, and unfortunately the one that I love the most. Guess it's like loving a chick who cheats on you, tells you that she is & you still accept it...

Oh well.... Come on home, baby!!!!

Go Blue!!!

Bama and LSU are not in the same classs as the Gators. Gators will make hash out of Bama in Atlanta. They will probably run Saban off after that game. The day when Alabama controlled this conference is over. Get used to it. Gators will rule.

Are you telling Bob Stoops how to coach? I think those guys can come up with a scheme on their own, and I can't imagine there's anyone here close enough to the program to convey your message. Sorry.

Thanks! I guess one of the virtues of being a fan of multiple teams is the increased likelihood that (at least) one of them will be playing well. Right, Regan? ;-)

Thanks - I'm a big fan of CPJ. It's a nice change for me as I was never a fan of George O'Leary or Chan Gailey. Rich Rod is a good coach and I'm certain he will turn it around in Ann Arbor.

I have to agree about Stafford in the middle distance passes. MoMass is looking hot and AJ Green is flat out awesome. Stafford does need to resist the urge to throw long, especially when under pressure.

I wish I were more optimistic about the UGA/GT game. I'd have to put my money on UGA in that game. Wish we weren't looking at 8 straight losses in this series, but I don't see it playing out any other way. Next year looks like a possible win for GT, depending largely on the NFL aspirations of UGA's skill players.

For once I beat the GURU with Penn State.

We both missed Ball State and I missed Michigan State, though I had said they could be in the mix.

"i thought it was a beautiful game."

I agree. It was definitely a game in which, no matter who won, will be a classic and will be talked about for a long, long time.

"look what grinding out the clock earned you against illinois last year. ur lucky we didnt do the same in 06."

You're out of your mind. Illinois had control of last year's game throughout, so OSU didn't "grind clock". And yes, "grinding clock" and "letting off the throttle" are one and the same. Again, you were 2 scores down very late in '06 and had no chance of winning. Luck had nothing to do with it. That's the bottom line.

MAYDAY13 — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 16:30:52 -0000

grinding out the clock and "letting off the throttle" are two different things. when u choose to run out the clock u take the chance of the other team getting the ball back and scoring. which is shat we did. the final was 42-39 thats close bottomline. look what grinding out the clock earned you against illinois last year. ur lucky we didnt do the same in 06.

You must've been watching a different game. Your team was down 2 scores and Tressel went into "run the clock" mode. That's a fact. Your team got a late TD and then had to employ an onside kick in order to have any prayer of tying or winning. Any time a team employs an onside kick, the game really isn't in doubt, nor is it close. You keep dreamin', though.

Now Now tressel does not "let off the throttle" against michigan. Im not playing what if just stating a a fact. I accept we lost that game. But we played hard. Ha we were not getting spanked that game was close all along.

Late season losses are killers - just ask Penn State.

"Just a personal foul away from a win for the Wolvies."

I can play that what-if game, too. Your team was getting spanked. The score was much closer than the game really was, due to Tressel letting off the accelerator late in the game.

Then both teams got throttled in the bowl games, so it seems they weren't actually the #1 and #2 teams that year.

Ahh like back in '06. that was beautiful. Just a personal foul away from a win for the Wolvies. I do think that there should have been a rematch for the Championship. If the #2 loses to the #1 by a field goal those are appropriate rankings. Who else should be #2 other than the team who loses to the #1 by 3. And the game was in the "shoe".

"Rich Rod's record his first year at WVU was 3-8. the next year it was 9-3. so please dont get exicited."

I certainly hope Michigan will be much better next year. I think you're mistaking my optimism for the Buckeyes chances this year as a hope that Michigan will never be a force to reckon with again. On the contrary, a strong Michigan program and a strong OSU program fuels the rivalry and is great for college football.

If OSU doesn't bring their A game to either game it'll definitely be a struggle.

GO BUCKS!!!

The only way the Big 12 champ does not get in is if Missouri upsets someone in the championship game.
