| FTBL Anyone sense a Georgia Snubbing

Like you said, either should destroy OSU easily, so it shouldn't matter. Until a better system is put in place (which will never happen), more often than not, the best team teams will not be playing in the title game.

I'm sorry but the LSU team that I've seen since the Auburn game will not blow out tOSU. That is why they will probably be matched up with tOSU in the NC game: LSU and VT are the only two teams ranked in the top six that OSU would have a shot at beating.

A lot of people (media and pollsters) lost face last season with the Florida debacle over tOSU.

They don't want to see a repeat of that should tOSU be pitted against Georgia, Oklahoma, or Southern Cal.

The mighty Big 10 reputation would take another hard shot if any three of the scenarios would transpire. But it won't happen.

One thing that strikes me as interesting as well is OSU vs LSU and how it relates to Miles and UM. Granted, the coaches don't have a say in what the media wants to write about but it sure will make some headlines.

Good point. The media has a silo full of fodder to feed off of.

I won't say that UGA got snubbed, but I don't think OSU should be in the game if UGA isn't.

Ohio State got to sit back this week and watch the other teams play(lose) just like UGA.

If anything, LSU should be playing Oklahoma for the championship. It's pure BS that some conferences have to play an added top 25 team at the end of the regular season when some conferences don't.

 

[Argo]

Also, since we are rewarding the teams that play in the conference championship games, Kansas shouldn't be playing in the BCS. They didn't even make their conference championship.

If teams shouldn't be in the championship game because they didn't play in their conference championship, then the teams that were good enough to make the conference championship should be penalized for losing that game.

UGA or LSU? I feel very strongly both ways. :shock:

 

[rhinobama]

I agree with bamafreak..why did the voters think Georgia was 4th best last week and LSU 7th best. LSU was #1 TWO times this year and got beat..now they get a 3rd shot. If BAMA was #1 the week before the SEC cg and got beat..forget it !! We would never jump from 7th to 2nd. Georgia got screwed !! That's my opinion, and like A--holes..everybody's got one! Roll Tide.

After losing to UT and USC, they are not deserving!

And LSU lost to Ark and UK.....so they are not deserving..according to that logic

FWIW, the team that was snubbed IMO was Mizzou. I don't understand how KU gets a BCS game after losing to Mizzou a few weeks ago.

But, the snubs are coming from Bowl game officials in this case.

[I'm not watching the game this year. The NCAA is as corrupt as our government. Georgia is the best team from the SEC today!

Corrupt? LMAO. Yeah, it's a big conspiracy against... Wait a minute who are they out to get?

Get real man.

Georgia didn't even earn the right to play in the SEC title game.

I agree 100%. The BCS was right having Missouri ahead of Kansas in the rankings, but like you said, the Bowl Game Officials screwed Mizzou.

It may not be in the BCS rules, but if a team can't win their conference, then they shouldn't be allowed to play for the NC. As someone else said, it should be LSU and OU in the NC Game.

I believe OU went to the NC game after losing in their conference in 2003.

Yes, they did. And Nebraska went a year or so before that in the same situation as Georgia is in.

Just because it's happened before doesn't make it right.

 

[ghice]

I'm not saying it was right either, but I'm just saying to state the fact.

 

[Outlaw]

That was when the computer rankings were what they went by though I believe. The whole argument for OU was because of their strength of schedule, quality wins, etc while USC had a cakewalk schedule. They beat #6 (or 9?) Auburn first game but Auburn ended up being average with a 7-5 or 6-6 record.

After that year, human polls were weighed higher I believe. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
