I agree with most of your all's thinking...Except for the fact that two undefeated teams will most likely not get into a BCS game. Cincinnati gets to go to a BCS game with 2 loss's, due to them being in a Conference with 12 teams.... Big Deal.... But two undefeated teams like Ball State and Boise State get crapped on by the miserable College System. Sorry but an undefeated team should get precedence over a team with two loss's.:(
[QUOTE=MrSplitshot;346552]I've doubted Bama all year, especially after they narrowly escaping getting beat by a crappy team called KENTUCKY on their home field. But, they keep proving me wrong by winning. They're on a mission.
Florida is like a Category 7 hurricane destroying everything in its path right now, but there's a part of me that thinks Bama will find a way to win this game.
It's going to be a barn burner, fo sho!
So I have a BCS Question.
Right now the BCS Standings are -
1. Alabama 12-0 (.9713) Next Game vs Florida
2. Oklahoma 11-1 (.9351) Next Game vs Missouri
3. Texas 11-1 (.9223)
4. Florida 11-1 (.8851) Next Game vs Alabama
Let's say Oklahoma takes care of Mizzou, and lets say Florida takes care of Alabama...Oklahoma moves to #1 in the BCS Standings at 12-1 with their new BCS Average, but would Florida at 12-1 rise above Texas at 11-1 for the #2 slot?
What if it ended up #1 Oklahoma, #2 Texas?[/QUOTE]

Here's a little bit of news to chew on as you ponder the Alabama vs Florida game.
No.2 Florida could be without TWO defensive linemen against top-ranked Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday. Matt Patchan has a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee, defensive line coach Dan McCarney said Sunday night, and the freshman won't play again this season. Defensive tackle Brandon Antwine sprained a knee in the second half Saturday at Florida State. Coach Urban Meyer said Antwine is "probably doubtful" against the Crimson Tide.
You must know that 'narrowly escaped' is the same as winning. lol Please show some respect for Kentucky; they taught Bama a valuable lesson and it was, "Don't under estimate your opponent." I thought they learned very well.

I'm concerned about Harvin as well his sprained ankle might slow him down some if he plays at all.
I look for Florida to pull out a close one. The injuries to the two DT's will hurt some, but if Harvin is unable to go for the Gators that could be trouble.
I also hope Mizzou beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game so that Texas will get the national title game and face the winner of the SEC title game. Texas got hosed big time to me. They lost to Texas Tech on Tech's home field, but they beat Oklahoma on a nuetral field and of course OU beat Tech on the Sooners home field. IMHO a nuetral field victory should have more weight than a home victory.

Hey now Bassin Bug. :D I'm true blue...love my Wildcats...and I'm proud of the way the defense stood tall against Alabama and respect that. Unfortunately, the offense (or lack thereof) handed Bama the game.
That said, let's face facts that 6-6 overall record, 2-6 in conference, is NOT a very good football team. If narrowly escaping counts as the same as winning, then narrowly not escaping counts as the same as loosing...and Kentucky narrowly not escaped in several games. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, as my Dad calls it. LOL With everything we lost to graduation last year, and everything we lost to injury this year, wrapping it up at 6-6 and a bowl berth is nothing short of a miracle. I respect that they got it done, but it's on the wings of beating 1 Louisville, 3 cupcakes, and 2 SEC foes having down years (Arky and MSU). I can respect their effort without thinking they are a good team this year. Maybe calling them crappy was a little harsh, but the point was that I don't think they're a good football team this year.
Mhall, I agree that the BCS is whacked and that Texas is a bit hosed.
I don't necessarily agree that just because a team is undefeated that they should be in a BCS game though, because of strength of schedule. An undefeated Boise State shouldn't be ranked equal to a 1 loss Florida, when Florida plays much tougher opponents on a weekly basis than they do.
Which again, all points to a PLAYOFF SYSTEM if you ask me. :cool:

Okay, I'll take my spanking but don't try to beat the BAMA out of me.
My Pastor is a great Kentucky guy. A couple of years ago, one of the deacons was to give announcements of upcoming church events. The first was that the toothbrush was invented in Kentucky. He looked at Pastor and asked, "Why didn't they name it TEETHbrush?" The second was that Kentucky played horseshoes during the football game. He wanted to know if they needed that many horseshoes for good luck.
I agree with you Brian that a undefeated team playing lesser comp than a one loss team playing giants every week is not comparable. All that being said though I would love to see a playoff system where the little guy at least has a chance. I go back to that Boise / Oklahoma game. According to The taking heads the Sooners were going to beat the last breath out of BS, well you know what happened, NOT. Give the little guy a chance and if he doesn't get it done, then so be it, but what IF????

Agreed. I think a playoff system would be awesome. That's what I like so much about March Madness - Even the #16 Seed has a chance. It's a longshot, but it's still a shot.
That Boise State vs Oklahoma game was GREAT. I loved every minute of it.
Instead of playing 12 games, drop it down to either 10 or 11 and a playoff system would work perfectly.....No one said College Football has to have even close to the amount of games the Pro's have......Next thing you'll see is the College Basketball Coaches crying for 40 to 50 games a year.....Because the Pro's play 82...they want to help beef up the College kids so they can play at that level when they get to the pro's.... Get my idea here.....

Brandon Antwine has "improved" remarkably with only 5 days of therapy and may be able to play, according to his coach.
Bama believes that Harvin's injury was faked to throw them off in the upcoming game. Because they are unsure, Bama has devised 2 separate game plans to take care of the problem.
"Ala-bam-a, Ala-bam-a, we will ayeee be true to thee."
I feel the goosebumps rising...............
