Should have kept UF in the sugar and replaced Wisconsin (8-5) with UGA in the Rose

I mean, his little scenario had 3 SEC teams, and if you're gonna use BCS rankings for BCS bowls, there are 3 SEC teams ranked ahead of LSU.

This doesn't mean I think Georgia is better than LSU.

No, because there should be some sort of reward for winning our division and playing for the SEC. We beat UF head to head, and both teams ended the regular season 11-1. Why should UF get rewarded with a Sugar Bowl and us with the capital one simply because we had a better season?

Of course you would think that way. Just like Arky earned that arse whoopin from Ohio State in the sugar bowl. That's what the current format rewards fans with.

There was....the SECCG. You win that you could have played for the BCS Championship.

You DIDN'T have the better season. You said yourself we both ended 11-1.

And these hypothetical bowls are based on BCS rank, of which UF is higher than UGA. So UF goes to a BCS bowl...which we do, and UGA watches us from their couch....which you can, if you want.

How so? We finished the regular season with a better record, and finished the whole season with an equal record yet we won our division. The only possible, conceivable way you could say LSU had a better season was because they had a "better" loss than us, which is a stupid way of determining who had a better season.

Yeah I remember when Arky fans were puffing out there chests for 3 rd place in the west and 5th place overall in the SEC. Congrats on being the new Arky.

What? Having a better loss is the only reason Bama played in the BCSCG last year.

No it's not. We beat you at A&M. You lost to 2/3 of the good teams you played.

LSU was 2nd in the West. A&m 3rd. Last I checked 2nd is better than 3rd. Just because LSU fans are disappointed in 2nd and A&M fans are ecstatic with 3rd does not mean A&M had a better year. You also needed a heisman winner to come in 3rd place in the West, 5th overall in the SEC. Think about that for a little while when you think your season was so great.

Gee, all the other conferences would not get a fair chance to play in a big time bowl.

Screw that. This would be great for CFB. Change the 2 BCS per conference limit to no limit. The only rule I would have is for teams that played during the year couldn't play each other in a BCS bowl unless it's for the NC of course.

Wrong. What time you lose clearly doesn't matter anymore.
