Not at all....our SOS was better than OU's and USC's in '04....
It was just a media stunt to focus on one game rather than the whole season....they had their minds made up that they wanted Carroll v. Stoops in that game and there was not going to be any other scenario.

t was a point poorly made by the media who was seizing on the flimsiest of evidence to deny us a shot in the big game.
The schedule rankings that year showed that our schedule was tougher than OU's and USC's......
Tha hell? Where did you pick that nugget up at? Auburn Undercover?
The difference in schedule strength was almost negligible, but it was there...and schedule strength was a component of the BCS...so it wasn't "an excuse" that edged Auburn out.
Auburn's primary problem was their ranking in the preseason polls. I personally consider football's preseason polls to be one of the biggest shams in college sports. Teams are given the inside track to a title based on pure the speculation of a pack of sportswriters. The first baby step to getting a semi-worthy field of NC candidates is to have the first poll come out after they play three games. App State - Michigan is one of the best examples to use in demonstrating the futility of the preseason opinion.

That's embarrassing for a defending "national champion."
You act like you want to be taken seriously, then you say stupid shite like this....

I agree with this.....

IMO the first poll shouldn't come out until October.

Is it not true?
Is the "stupid shite" not the playing of a team in it's first year of playing football?
Embarrassing for a school the stature of alabama, no?

Did you feel the same way about Auburn playing UAB? Samford? Ball State?
Its the economic reality of NCAA football. What part of that do you not understand?

None of those teams were in their first year of a program.
Sorry, but this is an indefensible position for alabama.....there is already a thread on the front page about this, so I will post in that one on this subject from now on......

If GSU doesn't take on a top tier D1 team, they have no way of making money for the year. Also, playing a high-profile team, in a game that will be televised is massive for GSU, even if they are nothing but cannon fodder.

Regarding the cmparison between 04 Auburn and 09 Alabama- as has been noted, Alabama averaged the same number of points scored and given up per game. However, the competition was not the same. Alabama beat 2 top 5 teams to Auburn's 0
Alabama beat 3 top 10 teams, to Auburn's 2. Alabama beat 5 top 20 teams, to Auburn's 4. Alabama beat 10 bowl eligible teams to Auburn's 7. Also, the average rank of teams beaten (that finished ranked) was 10 as was Auburn's. Points being equal. Alabama played against the harder schedule.

I decided to deduct points from USC based on the fact that you were cheating the whole time.....
Q: Do you think USC can win without cheating?
Follow up Q: Do you think Lane K. will be anything other than a disaster at USC?

With the Pac-10's TV deal, it's hard as hell to watch USC anyway.
