Having three teams from the same conference, let alone the same division, in the probable top 3 of the BCS is crazy no matter how you cut it.

![]() Honestly, for many of the past 5 or 6 years, the SEC Title game has been more competitive than the National Title game. Last year was one of the few exceptions. That said, I would love to see LSU vs. Houston. It could easily be comparable to the '07 Fiesta Bowl, which was a great game where the small school won with great playing and some trickery. Unfortunately, it could also be like the '08 Sugar Bowl, where the small school was dominated with better talent and better coaching. Either way, I say let it happen. |

I can understand how people are talking about Houston v.s. LSU, but even if Houston goes undefeated don't expect this matchup to happen. If you are not favored by the BCS, to be in the top 3, your chances of a BCS title birth is slim to none. And that is why I can't stand this BCS system!
I do have a feeling that the next two weeks we will see a shakeup. LSU v.s. Arkansas will be an important game for both teams. A rival game with Alabama v.s. Auburn. I wouldn't be suprised if LSU and Alabama choke. |

The SEC are a dominate conference. I knew it was only a matter of time we would see SEC teams in the top 3.

Cracks me up that the BCS has been rigged to get Bama vs Lsu in the championship game. Sad really. Lol Bama gunna be chearing for LSU to take them to the title. What a joke of a system. This is going to be a big story this week.
I'm rooting for the Razorbacks. |

Would I like to see Houston beat the odds and make the title game? Ofcourse. But we've seen this before. Even if they win out and everyone ahead of them lose, they won't get in that game.

Yes, but we still really need that win @ N’Western this Saturday so we can get to two straight seasons of 10+ Spartan wins. We do that and take care of whoever wins between PSU and Wisconsin Sat. (as that team will represent the Big 10 Leaders division), and it's 11-2 and headed for the Rose Bowl for the first time in forever. How magnificent that would be.

He clearly can't run a clean program, but his system is a great fit for the PAC 12 especially since its a defense-optional conference. I wonder how much longer Mike Leach will be out of a coaching job. |

Without a doubt. And that is what is really the fustrating part about this system. But we all know it's all about the $$$. Which is why BCS is creaming in their pants for this LSU v.s. Alabama rematch. I will bet that if LSU loses to Arkansas and falls to number 3, Les Miles will pull politic shenanigans like he did four years ago when they were number 3 and get in the national title game.

Rofl at Clemson, top 10 teams falling over the place would have put them at like #4 with games against top 10 SC and VA Tech to "prove their worth" and they got beat the fuck up by NC State beforehand. Classic Clemson football move

So uh, you think Urban Meyer is gonna take THE Ohio State job? Or is it all a bunch of bullshit?
Meyer said he's gotten no offer from them yet. |

I think either ESPN hinted or Meyer himself said he wants to wait till the full scope of the punishments by the NCAA are done since the school still has some investigations left.
He won't join if the NCAA has further punishments which could hurt his coaching value if he doesn't win right away (or beat Michigan). |

So true about ESPN/ABC saying that recently the SEC Championship has almost been like a National Semifinal game.
Anyways, Sparty wins in a game that you could argue was meaningless but I think they needed it to show that they weren't going to lose focus as they head to Indy to play on FOX in primetime this Saturday vs. Wisc. Also agree with the commentators that this game definitely should be played "in the elements" instead of a domed arena. Hopefully they don't pussy out at the first sign of bad weather and decide to close/leave closed the dome...would really like to see as much of an "outdoors atmosphere" as they can provide. |

I like the idea of championship games and bowls in domes or warm places. Let the game be won by the talent on the field, not by the weather.

Thought the Arizona hire was pretty interesting for the mere fact that the AD announced it VIA twitter. Worked for the current AD @ Zona and he's a social media fanatic. The guy who took his place @ MSU is as well. They had #HailState in their endzone for their rivalry game with Ole Miss. |

Need MSU to win this week so that Michigan gets a BCS bid, which would give Purdue a nice bowl game.

Still don't see why they can't just do an 8 team playoff. They can still hold the Bowl Games, so they wouldn't lose money on it. The lesser bowls can be played on the side by the teams that don't make it, and the bigger bowls can happen as teams get knocked off (Rose Bowl can be between the two teams that get knocked off in the semi-finals, for instance).
