And I agree. We lost, but we didn't get nationally undressed like clemson did. We went to 3OT with the big 10's second best team. Yeah we should have won, yeah we fricked up, but it's not like we lost by 30. And on top of that, we have done well in bowls under Richt. He's won 2 BCS bowls including a complete beatdown.

Exactly. Everyone seemed to be under the impression that Bama, LSU, Arky, and SC were better than us, so would it really be a surprise for the 5th best SEC team to lose to the big 10's second best team, in 3OT no less?

Good post. I was about to reply on the "What does it say that WVU..." thread when it immediately slipped into an Arkansas bashing exercise.
Look, we fricked the whole deal up last year against tOSU. We lost obviously, no matter what the records books say. And trust me, no one feels worse about it than Hog fans. If you're under the delusion that we're not SICK about losing that game you're grossly mistaken. We're weren't just happy we got there and we understood/appreciated the importance of representing our conference.
Unfortunately we friggin lost. Our WRs played their worst game of the season and Mallett threw one of the worst interceptions (if not THE worst) of his career or we would have had em.
Long story short (too late) i'm thankful that a cease fire has been issued. We'll do our best not to frick the next one up tomorrow night.

And this is fact that frequently goes unnoticed. When a conference puts a team in the National Championship Game, all the other teams in that Conference get elevated to a better bowl and a higher ranked opponent than they would normally play. And in the SEC teams are usually “playing up” but still manages to do very, very well.
This year the SEC is playing two up.
