You gotta love the fact that the Big12 championship is between #8 and #19 (I hate NEB too much to root for the upset), but it isn't as good as the ACC championship between #16 and #23 - goes to show how freaking weak the ACC is this year

As much as I love the SEC and muh Gators, I'd have to got with the idea that we saw the best two teams play already - OU and MI. And, tbh, I wouldn't want to face either one in a bowl. I think just about
anyone is gonna lose to them, though the idear of a Rose Bowl w/ MI vs LSU does sound intriguing
Back to conferences...I'd agree the SEC was over-rated, I mean look at Auburn, TEN, and UGAly that all cracked the top 10...and where are they now? Beating eachother up is one thing, but just falling for your own hype and then not showing up on game day...shameful.
Though, I peek a gander over at the Big10+1 and what do I see? Two kick ass teams and....a badger? A badger that worked its way into the top 10 by NOT playing one of the two good teams in the conference? And lord, how these Ohio people clammored when they played their 'other' big conference game at Iowa...who is where these days? Uh, yeah. And lord, how these big 10 people clammored when they got a third team back in the polls....and the SEC has been averaging 4-5 teams in the top 25 all season long
Overrated SEC, yes, but still considered better than the non-top teams of the ACC and Big10...and I'd put the middle of our conference against anyone else's. I mean ANYONE.
Take the top 2 or 3 out of any conference, then toss out the bottom dwelling 2 or 3. So, the every major conference except the SEC has just lost their ranked teams from consideration...and we don't even need to waste time comparing who's got the worst bottom feeders 8) Gimme a playoff between the middle of the pack, and I'd bet money on nearly every game played that the SEC would win the matchups. I'd like to see how it shakes out in the bowls, but then again, conference ties and regional biases tend to skew a good matchup into something lopsided
Eh, I could jump in the debate about why UF should get ahead of USC if we beat Arkansas, even with the whipping USC put on ND (who is the king of overrated...don't even get me started about the NotredameBroadcastingChannel :x ). But even if I think UF
deserves a shot at OSU more than USC, I can't say we'd perform any better than they could - tbh, I'd expect us to get out doors blown off since we've not been to our own conference championship in so long, our players wouldn't have a clue how to handle a big stage like the BCS championship
At least USC has been there, they players know what's involved - and THAT is why I think they ought to go. MI? They had their chance - didn't get it done. I know, I know, OSU was at home and it was by only 3 points, but the fact is YOU HAD YOUR SHOT. Next.....
