WTF you talking bout son.

We going to the ship and FSU needs to prep their arse.


Better pump the breaks dude. FSU has an 40+ average margin of victory and Auburn is 2 miracles away from being ranked outside the top 15.

I've noticed it has been the LSU fans counting Auburn out.

so Bama has won their division 2 out of the last 5 years and people are saying they should have a shot for a title for the 4th time in the last 5 years.

I hate the eye test, if you can't win your own division you shouldn't have a chance to play for the title.

Both would have had the same record - but only 1 would have been the SEC champ.

frick, some of you are retarded.

Mizzou would have jumped the shite out of Bama if anyone has any brains left...and usually there are some brains voting - just a few.




You know the media would have hyped it. I never said they should.

the "eye test" is nothing but an excuse to disregard empirical data in favor of introducing your own biases.

Not this year obviously, but in the playoffs? You damn sure should. If the two best teams are in the same conference, the loser of their game should be penalized for playing in that conference? If ANY conference has two of the best best teams, they should get in. If conference champions are favored the playoffs will be a joke.

Yeah, I am not predicting we win right now, but more so just expreesing how much I enjoy watching this AU team because we really just line up and run right at whoever we face.

Just a lot of fun watching the Gus Bus rely on a running game that says, "Here we fricking come, you know what is coming, prep your arse or do something to stop it".

ok I get what your saying

but

Baylor won their conference
Michigan State won their conference

same record as Bama but Bama didn't win their division both Baylor and Michigan State won their Divison and conference.

I love the SEC and all but if we continue this eye test Bama will be written in every year because the media loves bama.

No doubt they are a dangerous team. If I'm an FSU fan I might still be thinking "We want Bama".

NO shite.

You can't continue with this completely subjective...

"If the two best teams are in the same conference...yada, yada..."

How the frick do you know? That's just perception, bias, using biased history to support more bias and perception and the mother of all bullshite...

Assumptions.

Eyeball test - ESPN love fest - whatever.

Have to take all that prejudice and subjectivity out of it from pollsters and the powerful media.

Media doesn't control who wins the conference - that happens on the field.

End of story. Maybe if Bama learned how to actually win the SEC before claiming they should play for titles - they might not have this problem.

Do you think Bama didn't win their conference in all their previous titles before the BCS?

Nah, didn't think so.

I wish the BCS would do this, just to troll the LSU fans.

I honestly think Auburn fans would accept it more than LSU fans would.

Auburn may burn down Alabama's Campus if something like this happened.

This. Sounds like something a LSU fan would make up.

No one with a brain is pushing this. It's ESPN using the Paul F strategy of saying some obscure crap to get the "other" fan bases riled up and you fell for. Spit that hook out before they get you in the boat. The barn is going and that's the way it is.
