what is the best college football conference?

i dont worry about his press conferences


and tell me

would anyone give two shits about FSU if bobby bowden hadn't done what he did for so long





Also, dont you go to UGA? Isnt Mark Richt (sp?) a product of bobby bowdens coaching staff and FSU?
 
yeah, but coaches have such an incestuous pool.

for example, Urban Meyer has some strong ties with OSU. I know he coached there and I also think he might have graduated there (in some form). does that mean I hate him any less? nope.

also: March Richt is a bad ass.

He reminds me of one of those politicians who cheated on his wife. But not the kind that goes on TV and confesses everything when everyone's like "shut the fuck up for your own good." The kind where the information slowly leaks out, and there's also a sex tape of you and some bitch. And you were the one who suggested taping it. Bad ass.
 
hahaha well said!

and HighonLife is the best addition to BL in recent memory, as I have already said in this forum.

Big Ten will be the conference to beat next year... I can't wait for the return to glory.
 
^^ I really appreciate the Flattery

maybe next time i go n visit the family i'll shoot you a PM or something

suppossed to be going up to Ohio this summer but i dunno if im gonna be stopping in Columbus (cousin @ OSU) i might just be visiting other family (Akron-Canton area)
 
I can't believe this question was even pondered...

I mean 9 out of 12 SEC teams went to a bowl game last year. When 3/4 of your team base is in a bowl game... well... that says that your league is over powered.
 
for the most part the SEC got owned in the bowl games this year though. they had an easy out with the Colt McCoy injury and Florida playing a lowly Cincy. for the most part, this ain't the SEC that you rednecks have grown to love in the last three years.

the South will fall again!

by the way, it's very very good to see you again Rusty Cage. how is that warm Kentucky weather treating ya down there?
 
Stanford was tight last year.

and I don't understand what you are trying to get at here. are you saying that Cincy is better than Oregon? that the Oregon victory by Ohio State is not to be celebrated? I think that the Pac 10 champion is greater than the Big East champion, and I think that we were both riding high on the quality of teams the Pac 10 fielded last year (despite having a clear cut National Title worthy-opponent like OSU for Big 10 and Bama for SEC).

Stanford really has nothing to do with it. beating Oregon in the Rose Bowl is chest-puff-worthy.

Lowly Cinci? The one who led tOSU in the polls for October thru December? The same team that at least had a player mentioned in the Heisman race, compared to say ... tOSU with none? The team with a SOS of 23, compared to tOSU's 28?

Who do you honestly think would win, if you take of the Buckeye glasses, between OSU and Cinci last year? Because Cinci was higher ranked nearly the whole damn time, with a tougher schedule and better wins. Their one loss was in their first real BCS game in forever, against a team that floated in the top 3 most of the year and was second in their conference (THE conference, btw). And tOSU's loss? Excuse me, lossES were to USCw (finished ranked ....um, 22nd? and was tied for fifth..FIFTH in the Punk10?), and .... oh yeah, UNRANKED Purdue? Let's not mention how tOSU barely beat IOWA in overtime, m'kay?

And correction, it's not 3 yrs, it's the last decade, where we owned half the NC's and the last four running. Tell me when we fall, my friend, while you keep hoping for the Big10+1 to make it back to where it thinks it belongs ;)

I wanted to dig up some stats to argue....just to argue... but there is no argument. PAC10 Champ has historically been better than the BigEasy Champ.





PS - you troll me so hard....and I fall for it.

Not for the OSU you act like you've got, just for the one that sputters every time it plays a big game (for the past few seasons).

Oregon would be a big win for UGA, a fantastic win for last season's squad. But I don't have any rose colored glasses about the dawgs. They're a front-to middle-to back of the pack team in a very tight conference.
 
Love Bandit, OSU would have beat UC last for the same reason they beat Oregon, UC has no defense. Yeah uc went 12-1 last yr, but they were giving up mounds and mounds of points to some pretty average teams (UConn comes to mind).

Well maybe early in the year UC would have had a chance to beat OSU, but not by November.
 
it's difficult to speculate how UC and OSU would have turned out, because they didn't play, but I have a difficult time thinking that UC could have won. I just don't see the Bearcats playing good enough defense and also I could see OSU running the ball too easily. if OSU runs the ball with ease, you can pretty much count them in for the win.

and I can't believe you are stating that UC probably would have won because they had more Heisman contenders? I'm sure you know the stat of how the Heisman winners do in the National Championship, but you are even talking about Heisman contenders - not even winners.

the USC loss was bad, but early in the season the Buckeys weren't looking like the National Title contenders we all know them to be. the Purdue loss almost made me rip my eyeballs out, but it was what the team needed to get their head straight (it's not like they were making it to the NC at that point). you can't fault the near Iowa loss because, well, OSU won and Iowa went on to show the world that Georgia Tech still sucks.

I have a hard time thinking that UC would have won. they would have played at Ohio Stadium and I don't think any team laden with Ohio recruits wants to do that as a visitor.

but TLB - if it deludes you into thinking that Cinci deserved to be there and it was a quality win - go ahead.

no offense, but calling Georgia a front-to-middle of the pack SEC team might be a little bit unrealistic last year and most likely this year. and you know I like them Dawgs too.

This decade they've been conference champs, or lost their division to the national champ a couple of times. That I was talking about their recent track record was implicit, since you can't be front, middle, and back of the same pack over a single season. ;)

I think the Colt McCoy injury was kinda moot. That's like saying that OSU's Running back that got injured caused them the kind of embarrassing loss they got handed from Florida, or was it LSU.... I don't remember but OSU was embarrassed by both.

And yeah, you're right the SEC was kinda down this year, didn't win all the bowl games it shoulda won... But it did win the most important one... :P. And in a down year the SEC sends 9 of 12...

The SEC is still top dawg. Kentucky ( arguably one of the worst teams, if not the worst team int he SEC ) just went to it's fourth straight bowl game... that's never EVER happened before.

And the weather is great! We got a Great Wall this basketball season, and one hell of a cousin.

And it's good to see you're still around here... You n' GP are about the only two I recognize.

Heh-heh-heh......well, yes, thank you for some substance to the argument. And while anyone dangling a buckeye in front of me knows I'll bite, truth be told I'm talking shit out of my ass, and you are more right in your words than I think I am in mine ;). I agree, Cinci had little to no defense, but they didn't need it when scoring 30+ most of their games. Tressel ball rarely scores above 30 :\ So, it comes down to exactly what you say - can tOSU run the ball and keep Cinci's scoring down to where tOSU wins? Or does Cinci score a few quick ones and force tOSU into a catch up game - something they aren't accustomed to doing, even against a weak defense? We may never know...as I strongly suspect Cinci is more of a 2-3 year flash in the pan, wheres tOSU remains among the top 2-3 in the Big10+1 every year (until TX comes along, and Rich-Rod gets his act together ;) ). If I had to put money on it, I'd probably go with my heart (rather than my head that has to nod to what you say) and say Cinci's offense would have pulled ahead and stayed ahead in such a match up - but it will remain an unanswerable, since they don't play eachother.

troll bait taken, score one for me ;) Heisman winners is a weak argument for wannabe's. Heisman contenders is a shit argument for never-will-be's. Glad to see we agree that argument I made is bullshit :D

the USC loss was bad, but early in the season the Buckeys weren't looking like the National Title contenders we all know them to be tOSU faithful wish they were

fixed. nobody else thinks they were last year, at any point of the season.

Seriously, how can anyone argue with this awesome SEC logic? =D

But I'll also admit I got a bit sick in knowing we (SEC) had 9 teams in bowl games. Yes, it says we can fill seats with our 9th best team, and most other conferences can't get seats filled with more than their 4-5th best team. But it doesn't say our 9th best team belongs there, as proven by how well they do in the matchups :\ I want to 'puff up my SEC chest' for having so many teams in bowl games, but I quickly stifled it when watching so many of those teams lose. Meh, I'm heading down a path of the bowl situation, affiliations, and crap bowl games....not a place I want to go, because that doesn't even have the fun of teasing tOSU fans about a mythical game against Cinci. There is no enjoyment to be had with our bowl system. We need playoffs. Period.

I want to go get in the March Madness thread, but if the SEC gets more than 3-4 teams in the tournament, I'll vomit. We don't deserve it, and we'll get our asses pounded like we deserve (other than UK (Final 4), TN (Elite 8), and Vandy (Sweet 16)).
