Not Afraid of Bama

Afterall Cal just fired a coach for caring about football too much. Dykes upset the administration by asking them for more money
On the other hand the boosters and administration gave Ole Miss all the money it needed to finance a semi pro football team. Buying players forced Ole Miss to fire their coach by acting like a man having sexual relations with a woman is such a bad thing.

So if Ole Miss loses to a university that does not believe football is as important as collecting nobel prizes and creating elements for the periodic table would Ole Miss be banished by the SEC.

Afterall you can't have universities that buy players and still lose to non football universities.

What if Clemson is really not that good.
What if Louisville beats Clemson 41-13 this week.
It is not like we know who Clemson is yet. Afterall they have a inexperienced QB.
So that Auburn loss may not be so good in a few days if Clemson gets blown out

This hypothetical is a Big if of course. Comparing a QB in his 2nd start to Watson doesn't work.

Pete Carroll for his short time in college football outperformed Nick Saban.

You may agree or disagree but saying that Saban at that time was better than Carroll would have been a stretch.

USC beat a better OU team the next year.
USC a year younger was still better than an OU team a year younger by 30+ points

I totally agree but for different reasons

No blue blood programs turns into a minnow and turns tail and run.
Once Nebraska ran away from the Big XII and blamed all their problems on UT and OU then their blue blood status was revoked.

Regarding the Big 8 I believe CU's ability to win in the PAC 12 disproves this now. I think last year it would have been different but CU is one of the Top 5 teams in the PAC 12 now.

Missouri winning the SEC East Title two years in a row

Sorry to burst your bubble but US News academic rankings have zero merit in the academic world

Let's just say that US News allows people to influence their decision

ARWU is the ranking in the academic world

So the BCS rule that it had to take Utah didn't have anything with Cal being left out

2 at large bids with one already taken and the #4 spot being guaranteed makes it difficult when you have UT/ Cal.

You have to look at the OOC schedule and Bowl games for instance 2000
Washington beats Miami
Washington demolishes Purdue in the Rose Bowl
Oregon St demolishes ND in the Fiesta Bowl
Oregon demolishes Texas in the Holiday Bowl

How far you are wrong.
I guess you missed the PAC 12 in the late 90's and early 2000's.
I have always said that the PAC 12 is the toughest conference because of the depth at the bottom.
Reason why all PAC 12 schools besides Cal have appeared in huge bowl games since the Bowl Alliance started in 95 I believe. Cal should have played in a BCS bowl in 2004 but because of Utah's undefeated season was pushed out.

The Big XII was top heavy and games against KU, BU and Iowa St were pretty much easy wins.

The PAC 12 in the late 90's and early 2000's and then the SEC from 2006-2011 were clearly the best conferences.
There may have been a few years when the Big XII was on top but never consecutive years.

What Defense is good and what Defense is not good is only based on your perspective
I may be wrong with you but I have noticed not many people on here watch football outside of the SEC.
You have no idea what Defense's are good and what defense's are not.
Of course you are going to say Bama, LSU and Auburn.

That is blasphemy on SECRant

Bama is the greatest and when Bama doesn't feel like winning anymore than Auburn and LSU wins.

But those three are the Holy Trinity of SEC Rant and they and they alone can bad mouth each other.

Don't you know the worst team in the SEC could beat the conference champions of every other power 5 conference.
