Shit! If only we had a playoff like this. Then teams that lost twice would get a chance to prove on the field they're better than a team that went undefeated. The 2-loss USC team in 2002 was screwed out of chance like this, same as 2006 LSU. And simply because they lost twice - it's so unfair!

Well, I agree with your post if by "playoff like this" you mean that we let ESPN pick 16 teams, seed em, and determine the results simply by having their esteemed staff tell us what the outcome of the game would be. I have no use for actually seeing the teams play.

Did you think my post indicated I liked a playoff system that would include 2-loss teams that didn't win their conference, such as 2002 USC and 2006 LSU? I thought that head-banging thing eliminated the need for me to use the sarcasm font.

Note about big game coaching: Need I remind you Ohio State EMBARRASSED Les Miles when he was the coach at Oklahoma State just a couple of years ago, in Ohio State's DOWN YEAR, without future Heisman winner taking the snaps too! If Tress can devise a plan with ZWICK and Ginn, taking the direct snaps, then Tress can beat him at any program in the nation right about now.

Taking things a little too serious today? :biggrin:

Of course I didnt. Did you take me to honestly mean I'd prefer to crown a champion simply by having the ESPN talking heads determine who'd win fake matchups?

Sarcasm on top of sarcasm can be confusing.

Obviously your "I have no use seeing them play" was sarcastic. But I thought you were indicating that you were in favor of an actual playoff, and when you said you'd 'agree' with me; I didn't want to be included as a playoff supporter.

So just consider me a supporter.

Herby talked about "SEC Speed" and how LSU has an advantage over scUM and the SEC usually has an advantage over the Big-10. Still wondering how slow ass Iowa took Florida to the end(in essentially a road game) last year before being screwed by the refs. Slow ass Wisconsin put a hurtin' on that speedy Auburn team last year. Same with Iowa against LSU in '04, scUM against Florida in '03(I think), yadda, yadda, yadda.

Is there anything more annoying than SEC Speed or Southern Speed? Maybe when they call a white guy "deceptively fast" but other than that, what?

Congrats LSU, on a mythical National title! You join a prestigious group that includes USC in '02.

Simple Arithmetic:

controversy = viewers = $$$$

LSU is Better than OSU = controversy = viewers = $$$$$$

If you think this kind of math doesn't drive the media to say things like, "LSU is the hot team and they take down the Buckeyes," you need to take freshman math again. Of course when you give Lou Holtz, Les Myles and Charlie Weiss a month to get ready for Ohio State...

Bingo. I think this is essentially why Holtz and May are not only still at ESPN -- but always paired together. It's a gimic act, and everyone tunes in to see what stupid bs they say next.
