Thanks for the heads up! I'm not scared, althouth I'm not sure he's doing that well handling an opinionated and somewhat intelligent FEMALE Tennessee fan... time will tell I guess, cause I'm not going anywhere!

Thanks again!! :-)

1991 1991 NFL NFC West 1st 11 5 0 Lost Wild Card Playoffs (Falcons) 27-20
1992 1992 NFL NFC West 2nd 12 4 0 Lost Wild Card Playoffs (Eagles) 36-20

hey michael,

I just wanted to tell you that I read both your BCS articles, and that I loved both of them. I think it is plainly obvious that the NCAA must do something to change this system, whether they just improve it or scrap it. I myself am writing an article now about a college playoff that would keep most of the bowls intact, yet still let the champion be decided in a single game elimination tourney. I'll send you the link when i finish it up.

If the SEC is not the best...than who is?

The BIG-12 went out the window with the ever-so-powerful BIG-12 south's performance....
Ole miss and UF hold TT and OU to WELL under there averages..oh yea and they outscored them too..
Texas would have lost that game if it weren't for Beanie not playing the 2nd....

So clearly, just considering the heads up battles, the SEC proves superior to the BIG-12.....

so who's better than the SEC?

Utah proved to be a better team than Bama.....but do you honestly think they are better than UF?
Just ask yourself: If they were playing tomorrow, with a large sum of money on the line(or whatever), would you really take Utah straight up?...I don't think you would....

Just wondering?

Just pointing out that there is a code within a conference not to help outside the conference. Urban Meyer broke that code.

Michael, For those of you that defended Urban Meyer for helping Utah here is something that will show you it is not done...

Some of you said that Saban would do the same thing if asked, well you were wrong and here is proof.

Here is the important part, a quote from Saban's coach...

Smart, however, said there was a limit on what was exchanged simply because of conference loyalty.

“We intentionally don’t talk about it because that’s an SEC deal,” Smart said. “We’re obviously SEC people.”

I guess the Urban Meyer doesn't see it the same as everyone else does.
