Operation Chaos mode - BCS Title game contenders

I never said Bama is no good. I just think it's short sighted to think any team is untouchable in week 6. If there was 2 games left then ok. Especially with how the Flu has been this year. Crap half a team could go down in one swoop then they lose and it's boo hoo. We almost lost 4 lineman in one week. If it would have happened things could have been closer today. Wisky had 40 guys fighting it 3-4 weeks ago. A SEC team already had documented 20 guys being out one week earlier in the season. That's a dangerous thought. And last year didn't Florida(the untouchables) lose to a unforseen opponent. That's why I am not saying "NO DOUBT".

I can go with that explanation. :)

If you don't think UT loses, fine. But you don't have to root against the Buckeyes's title chances just so McCoy can win the Heisman. You root against the Buckeyes' chances for a title in favor of some player's chance of a Heisman, sorry, you are not a true fan.
This isn't rooting for the title. This is for an APPEARANCE in the TITLE GAME. Big difference. I doubt we win against Florida or Bama in the title game. I want to see a bowl win this year. Not another bowl game where we are overmatched. I'm rooting for USC (Rose) or OU (Fiesta). But preferably against a SEC team, BCS or non-BCS, but I don't think that'll happen.

You are one hell of a fan.

Just because you don't think it's possible for your team to win, you are going to start rooting for some of the other teams.

I guess you were sitting home busy rooting for UT to get into the national title game this time last year because they would crush us for sure.

Sorry but this stuff is sickening.

This is the same Bama team that went undefeated in regular season SEC play last season and lost to UF by a toenail in the SECCG. Simply claiming that VT and Ole Miss are overrated doesn't prove that Bama is no good. Do you really see LSU beating Bama on the road?

It's true that they looked and played well last year just as they are now but how did they finish? Each game holds the possibility of a loss... just refer to their last bowl game.

As soon as you see someone project two non-BCS teams (ND excluded) in the BCS games you can pretty much write them off as being clueless and discount any further projections (Bruce Feldman in this case). It will be damn near impossible to come up with a top 14 where two of the B10, B12, P10, ACC and maybe even the BE do not have two teams in it.
