Looking Ahead Bama-V-Gators

[bassin_bug]

Hey now Bassin Bug. 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.

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.....
