So much Bama butthurt in this thread. I love it. Saban looked like a buffoon. Great coaches are in the NFL, not in Tuscaloosa. Even goofy-arse Miles could not have come up with a more epic way to lose a game. Face it Bama, yall got a mulligan against LSU, a layup against ND, and the luck finally ran out. The most epic defeat in modern CFB is now owned by Bama.

They are superior to Bama on offense and so vastly superior on special teams I don't see how it isn't 100% obvious they are the better team.

Auburn is not vastly superior than Alabama on Special Teams. Alabama's defense isn't elite or great by recent standards, but it's still miles better than Auburn's.

Yeah, Alabama's offense did little in the second half. However, Alabama's first half touchdowns were all in the red zone, so you can quit the red zone defense crap. Furthermore, Alabama had a drop in the end zone, failed to convert 4th downs, and missed 3 reasonable field goals. Both teams left points on the field.

The argument for Alabama being a better team examines the entire season instead of one game. Over the course of the season, Alabama did better versus common opponents. Auburn has a great running game, but the team as a whole hasn't been dominant versus good competition outside of the Missouri game.

Isn't it a bannable offense to link bleacher report?

Is that so? This is my first offense, and I posted the article in humor. Don't think I actually buy this garbage. I've made good posts in the past too, but alas I'm not liked much and prefer reading the posts here. Eliminate me if you must. Farewell. This place is legit. :cheers:

Conference championships shouldn't be a major provision. The conferences are unbalanced. Every conference has their Big 2, but the SEC annually has at least 4 teams that compete with other conferences ' Big 2's. Including a conference championship provision would help the weaker leagues. I'd be more in favor of getting rid of conference championships; they're not an honest play-in because the championship games rarely feature a conference's two best teams.

I did a search of threads regarding Spring Games, and nothing like this appeared. It's a YouTube channel. Check it out.

No. I'd say the 2011 Linebackers were arguably the best in SEC history. I think LSU had the edge in secondary in 2011

---

So you're basically claiming that the 2011 LSU Defense was greater than the 2011 Alabama defense?

Regarding the 2011 Alabama defense, why no love for DeQuan Menzie? How'd he wind up a 5th round draft pick? No one ever talks about him. Why?

2012 USCe was a very good team, but let's get a reality check. 2012 A&M lost two very close games to LSU and Florida, two teams that in a normal year would be in BCS games. They beat Alabama IN Tuscaloosa and crushed a good Oklahoma team in the bowl game.

USCe did crush UGA, but they weren't that close in either of their losses and they squeaked out a win by the seat of their pants against Michigan in the bowl game. These two teams weren't the same.

And 2011 LSU dwarfs all. They had a better resume going into the BCS title game than most national champions in other years.

Alright, we've heard that South Carolina had the flu the week that they played Florida. Also, while Florida did blowout South Carolina, it's a stretch to say that South Carolina was dominated.

Now, I watch the big games when I can and do a lot of reading online to gain a perspective on things I may have missed or just didn't know. I want to know why no one has mentioned South Carolina's struggle versus Tennessee. I know Marcus Lattimore went down and that Clowney was playing off of one foot; however, Richardson held his own against Clowney until that one play that cost Tennessee the game. South Carolina couldn't hang with Bobby Petrino's passing attack and they struggled against Tennessee's. South Carolina still has the one WTF game each year and struggles against the run. I may be wrong, but they also seem to have a problem against team's with a good offensive line and passing attack.
South Carolina is not elite, and they aren't ready. While they could have held their own and beaten Notre Dame, that wouldn't have made them the best team in the country. Keep in mind that my post takes into account things that I've read and/or seen.

his dumbass decision to not let Murray spike the ball directly caused us to lose to Bama and not go to the national title game.

---

Everyone blames Richt or Murray for not spiking the ball. Why didn't Georgia go for 2 on their last touchdown? If they failed, they still would have needed a touchdown to win the game. Also, let's not forget Georgia's defensive performance and Alabama's gifts. Saban mismanaged the clock before halftime, there was the back shoulder pass intercepted in the end zone, there was a PI flag thrown that was overturned because the ball was considered tipped. After that PI call didn't go through, Georgia blocked a long range field goal, caught it, and returned it for a touchdown.

tl;dr Georgia only scored 21 on the Alabama defense. Alabama put 32 on yours and left a few more on the field.

No No No!
I have not read any other posts, but this is bad idea. If there's an 8-team playoff, it will likely be implemented for revenue purposes not just to the appease uneducated fans.

Football is the most physical sport I know. At this point in the season, teams have lost some significant depth. Increasing the size of a playoff only increases the likelihood of injuries. Also, teams won't be able to get as healthy since they'll have less time to rest. How much would it suck to lost your starting quarterback, left tackle, middle linebacker, etc. in the first game of an 8-team playoff? Those are very important positions, that can be difficult to replace so late in the season.
