[Throwdown]

i'm absolutely sick of hearing about how amazing the SEC is and how pitiful the Big East is

people need to wake up and realize a few things. until thursday night, the Big East was the only conference in the country with three unbeaten teams. i realize that their shitty teams might be slightly shittier than bottom dwellers from other conferences, but who cares? to quote Colin Cowherd, you can't judge the architectural beauty of Chicago by a few crappy strip malls in the ghetto. you judge by the cream of the crop.

and i know the vaunted SEC has the history, the rivalries, the 100k capacity stadiums, etc, but i also know they have absolutely zero one loss teams. i don't care how good the conference is, if you can't get through it undefeated you have no business playing for a national championship - especially if there are undefeated teams from BCS CONFERENCES. to me, the SEC is nothing more than an above average conference with a bunch of above average teams.

if a one loss Auburn or Texas team goes to the BCS championship over an undefeated Louisville team (who, coincidentally, will have had to beat a #3 undefeated team and another undefeated team at the end of the season) i might seriously contemplate quitting college football. what horseshit. sorry Auburn, you shouldn't have gotten your asses kicked by Arkansas. sorry Texas, you shouldn't have gotten dominated by OSU on national tv. better luck next year. maybe then you might actually not lose a game and be deserving

Yeah right. The title game is all about ratings and $$$$


it will be a Ohio State/Michigan rematch. no one wants to see a shitty big east team get stomped by the big 10 juggernaut that is OSU this year. If ohio state dominates michigan, even in the title game, at least its a rivalry game which raises the unpredictability factor and allows for a tremendous amount of hype from Nov - Jan

I don't think that Pat Forde's analogy really works here.

Last year, Texas pretty much rolled through their entire schedule, beat a top five Ohio State squad on the road and demolished a top ten Texas Tech squad at home. USC didn't slice through their schedule as easily as Texas did, but they still went on the road and beat Oregon, Arizona State, Notre Dame and California.

Whereas the two most impressive wins for Louisville this year, aside from last week's, came against two mediocre to slightly above-average teams: Kansas State and Miami. West Virginia's best win is still Maryland, and the 'Eers struggled against friggin Syracuse and East Carolina.

Louisville does not deserve a shot at the National Championship over Texas, USC, a one-loss SEC team or even the loser of Michigan/Ohio State.

Are you serious? Miami and KSU blow this year.
