Re: Not to put any added pressure on Louisville but...
[QUOTE=Devils Horse;484208]Late season loss to Iowa St. or they probably would have been playing LSU...and getting beat.
I can't find a computer based ranking system that had them ahead of Alabama.[/QUOTE]
The game they lost was the same day the Lady's Basketball coach and an assistant were killed in a car wreck. Plus, one SEC coach had OSU ranked #5 in his final poll. If they had made them #4 or higher then they would have had a higher overall computer average and would have played LSU. Would have liked to see Oklahoma State's high octane offense against the LSU defense.

Wasn't aware of the deaths at Ok St.
And it would've been fun to see their O against the LSU D, I'll give you that. LSU would be the BCS champions right now. Things change considerably when a high octane offense gets smashed in the mouth by a big, fast, hard hitting SEC defense.
I still stand by my admittedly biased opinion, the '11 BCS game featured the 2 best teams when you add up both offense and defense.

I agree with you man......and SEC football has been the standard over the last several years. They just have a much better group of cornfed collard green eating boys to pick from in recruiting! :)

You know Don, I bet a lot of people would be glad to see us SEC fans eat a some crow. I don't blame them, there is no doubt we are obnoxious. Sure hope I ain't pickin feathers out of teeth any time soon, because I love me some SEC football.
They say if you cut a UK fan he bleeds blue. Well heck everybody bleeds red, does that make them Alabama fans?
I got a tall one the brand of your choosing that says Bama goes further than Florida in the NCAA BB tournament. Maybe some of these days we'll wet a hook and the winner can collect. Don't see a loser anywhere in that deal.
