and the fact that they were committee selections and didn't require you to win your conference to go to one.

What does that have to do with the fact that you can play your way into a BCS/NY6 bowl?

There are certainly politics when it comes to BCS/NY6 bowls. That is simply a fact.

When you say "play your way in", that suggests that if you win a certain amount of games, you will get a NY6 bowl. That is not the case. Ole Miss went 9-3 and got a NY6 bowl. Mizzou went 10-2 and didn't. They were both in the SEC.

But because of the various divisions and selection committee's Ole Miss got a better bowl bid.

That is what I call "subjective." I would almost say that it is indeed a "fact", because it is.

yea,, ones that say "championship" on it too..

it's cool though, I like the space you save in your basketball arena, for the CC-NC that you haven't won yet, shows you know what you need to do.



I bet you like our Final 4 banner too.. Does Mizzou have one of those??

or you can "buy" your way in, like in the BCS, when a certain team that wears a retarded make believe bird bought their way into the Orange bowl, they did it by guaranteeing a sellout, that's not winning your way, it's buying your way.

It's fine to be proud of it when you don't have anything else, like South Carolina or Mizzou.

It still has that asterisk "you still lost in the championship" feel though so it's bittersweet.

Apparently they are all liberal with the use of "championship" with regard to a division title.

Poor Pinkel. He can't even stand out from the crowd on that either.

certainly Pinkel isn't the only one.

"All those championships" being won at Mizzou,, great great news, glad to hear about it.

as much a fact as anything when somebody who guilty admits it, that's usually good enough evidence for most people, if you're a beaker lover, well that's your problem.

Not unless the division is high caliber,and our team as well.

1 of our 3 I thought we should have won it all.

But fish flop sometimes...

I want to go back when we are the favorites,not because the conference is down,but because we're kickin butt...
