What about them? You play all season to get in the best bowl possible, then play a meaningless game over New Year. Outside of the Championship Game, the rest of the match-ups are a bunch of exhibitions…thus the fundamental problem with the college football postseason. If you have a pulse, you’re in. 6-5? Come on down. Lost two games by more than 25 points this year? You can still play a great post season bowl no one has ever heard of. Haven’t beaten a team with a winning record this season? Think nothing of it. We will gladly have you fans in town to blow their hard earned money.
Auburn got hosed this season, but those are the rules. Everyone is complaining that Auburn should be ranked ahead of Oklahoma and USC. This is the wrong argument. Fans should be saying, “this system blows and we need to blow it up.” I like the four team playoff idea. Only one extra game. I would rather have the 5th place team yelling than a worthy 3rd place team.
Who does Ole Piss think they are fooling? You can throw as much money at a guy as you want, you are not going to play with the big boys every season. Recruiting Mississippi is tough with Ole Piss, Southern Miss and MSU all competeing for the same players. Firing Cutcliff was a HUGE mistake. Mark it down, the Rebels will be looking for a new head man following the 2007 season.
What happened to Miami? Lose a Championship game to Virginia Tech? At home?
Notre Shame is not a great job. The Irsih don’t have a natural geographical recruiting base advantage (think the Florida schools, OU and Texas, LSU, Michigan Ohio State or USC). Everyone is on TV now, so ND’s special deal with NBC isn’t all that special. The fan’s are unrealistic and the academic standards can create recruiting issues. Plus they try and low ball “THE MAN” (Urban Meyer) after they gunned Willingham. If I have to pick between making 1 million a year or DOUBLE that amount, the decision is made much easier.
I like Oklahoma in the National Championship game. No one is going to pick them, a la the 2001 Orange Bowl when the Sooners spanked the Criminoles. I picked the Sooners to win it all back on August 25, so I am sticking with them now.
