1 - 17-23 (Alabama) is not better than 17-23 (South Carolina.) Last I checked, 17 = 17 and 23 = 23.

2 - Five years ago, Ole Miss was 7-1. Since then they are a whopping 6-26. Going by just the last four years, the bottom three look like this:

South Carolina 15-17
Kentucky 10-22
Vanderbilt 7-25

Alabama 15-17
Miss State 8-24
Ole Miss 6-26

Doesn't look as good for the West any more, does it?

And anyway, going by the bottom teams is a load of crap to begin with. As I said: Three excellent teams in the East, two in the West. Really not any harder than that.

and yet Ole Miss gave UF all they wanted and should have beat them on the Last play of the game.

according to you guys UF is great. well.............2 of their 3 losses came from the west this year. Lowly LSU and pitiful Auburn.

Don't know if this is relevant, but it looks like UF lost those games very close and actually lost the turnover battle to both of those teams. They actually dominated the turnovers today against a subpar Michigan team and still got beat. In other words, if LSU or Auburn had given them 4 turnovers, UF might have been able to make up the 3 or 4 points they lost by in each of those games.

Cheers

just saying. I believe turnovers are earned not given. 95% of the time.

Giving them all they wanted....close game.....that ought to sound familiar to an LSU fan, right?

FOURTH QUARTER FLA LSU

24 21
TD 10:15 Demetrius Byrd 4 Yd Pass From Matt Flynn (Colt David Kick)
Drive: 5 plays, 27 yds, 1:50

24 28
TD 01:09 Jacob Hester 2 Yd Run (Colt David Kick)
Drive: 15 plays, 60 yds, 8:11

I guess the best way that I can put it is I hate UF.

That explains things quite a bit, actually.

First, you can take me out of the "you guys" group.

I could give two shits about UF or any other team in the SEC and I don't care who beat UF or what division of the SEC they were in.

Thanks

Oh yes, UF, with Superman at QB, is not considered down South to be a great team in the SEC. Yeah, right. They were incredibly close from beating Auburn and LSU, and in their game against Georgia, they weren't 100% in terms of health.

Not an SEC powerhouse? They won the BCS Championship Game last year.

not even on 1-07-08?

I guess I shouldn't have said "given". Nonetheless, I would bet that had UF received that many turnovers from either of those teams the outcomes may likely have been different. Pointless to argue about? Yes. Just saying.

 

[cjmik_75]

no I won't be suiting up for the game so i could give two shits about any SEC team. All that matters on 1/7/08 is The Ohio State University and bringing home the title.

I think home is about 90 miles down the road... will the buckeyes be dropping that thing off in Baton Rouge?

Great game... just got back from the bar...

scUM just couldn't handle that southern speed... err, I mean... uh, well...

:tongue2:They should ban you for posting those pics.:tongue2: The 1 handed catch on the winning TD drive was awesome.

 

[buckeysensation]

Hi I registered this new handle just so I could be a classless moron and harass the LSU fans who haven't done a damn thing wrong. I know one of the mods will ban this handle and if I register another one for such stupid shit, I will probably have my entire account banned.

Go Bucks!
