MICH/ILLI game was fun to watch. It was my don't-give-a-shit game and turned out to be nice, from an offensive perspective of course.

TCU is pretty good. They have a strong argument for being in the title game, unlike Boise.
Edit: Is it just me, or has Saban developed an interesting faux Southern accent?

I expected more out of Utah.  Also, Les Miles is awesome. Who else would run a reverse on 4th and 1 at the 50 yard line? |

TCU / Utah is probably going to be a pretty exciting game

This puts a bit of a damper on my trip to South Bend next week.

Just the lost opportunity of it all. Things were set up for us to make a real charge. It will still be fun to go stomp on Notre Dame but the buzz won't quite be the same.

The Utah game was ugly on a level I haven't seen in a while. Lose by 40? WTF?
The Michigan was awesome in a ridiculous way I haven't seen in a while. 67-65 in the Big Ten? This was a basketball score!
The LSU game was fantastic because I loved how the Hat actually out-coached Saban for one day instead of falling into his normal retarded way of winning.

Who were those people on the field and where did the real Utah football team go? Way more lopsided than I ever would have imagined.
Still not going to be enough to push ahead of Oregon or Auburn, though. Come on Bama, get your shit together for that last game of the season, I'm counting on you.

So, I went to ESPN.com to see some scores....saw that Joe Paterno won his 400th game today. Decided to read his bio on wikipedia as I know the dude is ancient and all. One tidbit I found that was  : ...Paterno has been on Penn State's coaching staff for 682 of their 1,204 games, 56.6% of all games played by the program dating back to its inception in 1887. |

Nevada is beating the shit out of Idaho. They very likely could give Boise a tough time this year as the game is in Reno.

I watched the Nevada-Cal game earlier this year and Nevada is a very solid team, despite the road loss to Hawaii (it kind of sucks to play on the road at Hawaii, though). I can't believe we didn't recruit their QB, he is very very good.

Texas may be in the biggest free-fall I've ever seen from a team who was in the National Championship Game the year before. Down 39-0 to Kansas State, and at one point Texas blocked the extra point on one of K State's TDs, only to have the kicker pick it up and run it in for 2 points instead of 1.  |

Yep. Front Runners for the Big 12 Championship are Oklahoma State and Nebraska. |

As far as I'm concerned it was a global bye week. |

WTF BAMA? Out coached, out played, 3 defensive breakdowns at the most inopportune times, two stud runningbacks that seem to be playing not to get hurt, a terribad qb, an OL that has failed to live up to expectations, an OC who is married to call about 4 plays out of the about 5 formations (which took defensive coordinators 2 years to figure out, but they finally did), a DC that is very distracted by discreet job HC job offers from several SEC schools, and finally - terribad special teams. That is, if a game actually took place last night. |

Sooo, hypothetically, what happens if LSU wins out, Auburn loses to Bama and then goes and loses the SEC championship to whoever the fuck is still breathing in the east? More yardage, Les Miles.  |

Auburn still goes by virtue of a tie breaker by beating LSU earlier in the year. For LSU to go, Auburn would have to lose to Georgia and Bama.
e: Ah nevermind. I thought you were asking who went to the SEC CG if Bama beat Auburn.

Assuming Auburn beats UGA, they go to the SEC Championship no matter what else happens. If they lose to the SC/Florida winner, or Bama before they get to the Championship, they get knocked out of the running. For LSU to go, UGA has to come up with a miracle win against Auburn and Bama has to win. In those scenarios, your NCG would be Oregon v. TCU |

Texas really needs to replace Greg Davis. He was carried by Colt McCoy and Vince Young. The guy is a joke as an OC.

For LSU to go, UGA has to come up with a miracle win against Auburn and Bama has to win. I get my LSU tigers are out of the running unless UGA somehow gets away with sacrificing a goat and Bama goes back to being Bama. My point is, once Auburn gets into the SEC championship game, assuming a loss to Bama, if Auburn loses to whomever they are playing, the SEC would have at least a 3 loss champion. I find that hilarious and sad and would love to know where teams would drop into which bowls. Theoretically, a 4 loss South Carolina team could actually win the SEC since they may win against FL but will fuck up the Clemson game. |

The SEC champion defaults to the Sugar Bowl if they don't play in the NCG. As for the rest, Wikipedia says: Under SEC guidelines, unless the Sugar Bowl selects the SEC runner-up, the Capital One Bowl must then pick the SEC runner-up if that team has won two or more games than the next team in the selection order. The SEC runner-up has not played in the Capital One Bowl since Arkansas following the 2006 season.
After those selections, the Outback Bowl has the first choice of the remaining teams in the SEC East, and the Cotton Bowl Classic has the first choice of those left in the SEC West.
The Chick-fil-A Bowl and Gator Bowl pick afterwards.
The Liberty Bowl and Music City Bowl work together, along with the SEC office, to determine the seventh and eighth picks.
The Birmingham Bowl picks last. In the case that the SEC does not have nine bowl-eligible teams, a team from the Sun Belt will be selected instead. |

So what you are saying is that the system is rigged to make the SEC > everyone else?

Actually, the conference more equal then the others is the Big Ten (or next year, the Big 12-2). Both (will) have eight automatic bowl berths for a ten school conference. On the other end of the spectrum, the Pac-12 will have six berths and an expanded Big East would be in the same boat. |
