Title: Only SEC can stop itself from winning another BCS title Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on August 04, 2011, 10:13:01 AM link (http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20110804/COLUMNISTS/110809813?)
The cover of the conference's media guide this year is simply a big number. 5. Five straight national titles by four different teams. It's an unprecedented run with no end in sight. Because the SEC has never been better. And once you get through the rigors of this conference and the best conference championship game atmosphere in college sports, playing for a national title is almost a formality. That's why I'm convinced there's only one thing that can stop the SEC from making it six straight titles. The SEC. That's right. It won't be Oklahoma or Nebraska or, hee-hee, Ohio State. If the league is going to see its streak end, it will because the conference champion won't get the chance to win one. And isn't it about time it happened? At the Big 12 Media Days, Oklahoma coach Bobby Stoops said it was “up to the other conferences” to stop the SEC. Good luck. How many other conferences have four teams you can see winning the national title? I'll take Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and South Carolina and give you the field. All of those teams have flaws, but they also have enough star power to slap Band-Aids on those open wounds. 8) Title: Re: Only SEC can stop itself from winning another BCS title Post by: 2Stater on August 04, 2011, 10:15:36 AM Quote How many other conferences have four teams you can see winning the national title?

BRING IT ON!!! Title: Re: Only SEC can stop itself from winning another BCS title Post by: ricky023 on August 04, 2011, 10:29:59 AM Well I do think that we have a great chance to win it all if injuries or actions off the field doesn't stop us. However, we have LSU, or Arkansas, yes Coach Petrino has these guys better than ever. LSU is always tough and then the rest of the SEC. So if I had my best pick to win it all, will be settled when we play LSU. ??? RTR!

Not so fast. This is becoming an 'age old' argument that if reasonably ranked, an upset in the SECCG would simply produce another name for the NCG marquee. Say USCe had been ranked 5,6,7, and beaten the barn last year, they should've stepped in to play Oregon, instead of a non-BCS conference team.Title: Re: Only SEC can stop itself from winning another BCS title Post by: ricky023 on August 04, 2011, 12:23:35 PM All it takes is a big upset in the Conference Championship Game to knock the SEC out of the BCS title game.

RTR! Title: Re: Only SEC can stop itself from winning another BCS title Post by: KoKoPuf on August 04, 2011, 12:53:06 PM But if USC had beaten AU in the SEC Championship Game, in all likelyhood, TCU would have played Oregon in the BCS.

I agree that there are teams with easier schedules who could go undefeated and make it to the championship game ahead of a 1-loss SEC team. |
