Those people are what we like to call dumbasses.

And I don't know about you all, but I'd LOVE to see Northern Iowa destroy Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

Northern Illinois dipshit.

God I hope we kick FSU's ass. We were less than 2 minutes away from being undefeated this year, and ESPN thinks we don't belong in a BCS game. It'll take a miracle, but I really hope I can afford to go.

You don't.

I'm sorry if that sounds dickish, but it's the truth. The top bowls are supposedly the best college football has to offer. Do you really mean to tell me you believe your squad is more worthy than LSU, A&M, UGA, fuck even Clemson?


Oh, and let me make this clear right here, if you're a fan of Wisconsin and Louisville, this applies to you, too.

How is a 1 loss team not the best? Save the easy schedule argument, because we were far and away better than all but one team in our conference. Our first string offense played in one 2 or 3 4th quarters this year because we were beating teams so easily.

Do you honestly believe that one loss in the MAC is tantamount to two losses in the SEC?

Look, I get it, you can only play who you play; that doesn't mean you go to the best bowls in college football, because you beat up on some pretty shitty teams.

Your one loss was to Iowa. Fine, everyone slips up. Now, convince me of this; why should I believe your team should even have a prayer against Florida St, if it can't beat a middling Big Ten team?

It was the first game of the season with a new quarterback at a neutral field. Georgia's loss outside of this weekend was a blowout and none of their wins were overly impressive. LSU's losses were closer, but again, they weren't overly impressive in their wins. The only 2 games we struggled were against Iowa where we lost in the last minute and the MAC Championship against a really good Kent State team where we won.

You don't consider it a struggle when Army loses you by one point?

How about when Kansas loses to you by one touchdown?

You've still yet to answer the questions; do you really believe your team is any better than any of the teams I've mentioned? For that matter, I'll even add Oklahoma and Oregon State, all of whom I argue deserve a BCS bowl more than you? And if your team is more deserving and better.... Why are all of those teams higher ranked than yours, still

The voters and computers favor AQ schools. I really think we are that good and are deserving of the spot. I understand why a lot of people don't, so hopefully we get a chance to prove that we belong in a couple weeks.

Spare me. Six SEC teams in the BCS isn't because of bias, it's because those teams are flat out better.

Fine, you get the chance to prove me, and the world, wrong.... But what happens when (not if, when) you don't, and we're left with a shitty game, that no one attends at all, and Northern Illinois loses more money than it gains?

I promise you, for every Boise State, there's about three UConn's from last year.

UConn's an AQ team, nice try though. If these teams were as good as you claim they are, then they wouldn't have needed to watch ESPN tonight and hope that we finished outside of the top 16. They didn't do what they needed to do, even with the added benefit of being ranked in the ******ed preseason polls while we weren't.

 

[Con T.]

Pretty big assumption I was just talking about AQ teams there, Jack.

I meant more teams we thought didn't deserve a shot at the BCS. And believe me, just as many come from the AQs. Cincinnati for two years, Wake Forest at one point, UConn, need I go on?

Though don't get me wrong, no one believes you deserve to go, partially because you're a non-AQ team. But, it's more when you face AQ teams, even this year, you struggled. And we aren't talking great AQ teams, we're actually talking mediocre to miserable teams.

Tell you what, why don't we just have a little wager about this; I'll spot your team twenty points. You win, I change my name to Northern Illinois' bitch (See, because it's a dog mascot).

If I win the bet
Well, you have to post like this
For two months, brother.

Oh come now, Thriller
I'll even sweeten the deal
I'll give you thirty

If this was 2014 Northern Illinois would have been in the playoff to be in the National Championship

 

[Stormtrooper]

Northern Illinois dipshit.

Yeah, sorry about that. Brain fart and all. Typing fast and not paying attention.

God I hope we kick FSU's ass. We were less than 2 minutes away from being undefeated this year, and ESPN thinks we don't belong in a BCS game. It'll take a miracle, but I really hope I can afford to go.

To be fair though, they didn't play many "tough opponents" and the one SEC school they played they lost to, and that was Kentucky who wasn't good.

Northern ILLINOIS (again, my bad for before) is not a top 10 team, but they are just as deserving of a game in the national spotlight as the Big East Champion, ACC Champion, and the Big 10 Champion (and to me all the other Conference Champions too).

If this was 2014 Northern Illinois would have been in the playoff to be in the National Championship

I'm sorry, but no way in hell. Northern Iowa would never have been in the top 4. ND, Bama, Florida, Oregon. MAYBE Georgia would sneak in instead of Florida. Then teams like K-State, Stanford, Oklahoma, and the other SEC teams would all get in before Northern Illinois.

Northern Illinois would get in if it was a 16 team tourney. They would be a 16 seed and play the 1 seed (Notre Dame), who would destroy them.

 

[Con T.]

It doesn't help though
When none of these teams deserve
This BCS match

No one has yet to explain to me why Northern Illinois deserves it more than the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh ranked team in the country

Those teams had a worse record. They all had 2 lossed, Northern Illinois had one.

One loss is better then two losses.

And again, we're back to this; why should I believe one loss in the MAC is tantamount to two in the SEC?

I get the popular thing is to hate on the SEC, but the truth is, they have the six best teams in the country. They are that much better than anyone else in the country.

Just the way it is
The SEC should have more
If they are that good

To be fair, ND is just as good as the SEC teams this year. Bama included. And I actually kinda agree with the top 10.

Top 10:
Irish v Bama
Gators, Ducks, Dawgs, Cats, Cardinal
Sooners/SEC


And I agree Northern Illinois aren't as good, but record does mean something. And I was merely making an argument. Hence why I said they would be #16 in a 16 team tournament and lose in the 1st round.

Ding Ding Ding! Do you hear that? That's Slyfox's Bullshit Meter going off at an alarming rate.

Notre Dame, Stanford, Oregon, and Kansas State are all clearly better than every team but Alabama and Georgia, and I think they are all better than Georgia too. Florida has definitely played a tough schedule, no doubt, but Florida has not impressed me once this season. South Carolina is overrated, Oregon, Notre Dame and Stanford would all take Texas A&M to town, LSU is hit or miss and Mississippi State is just laughable.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

To Haiku:

Florida has a good defense but their offense is awful. South Carolina is mediocre as they have always been. Georgia beat one good team in Florida 17-9 and got blown out by South Carolina and had a soft schedule. Other than Alabama, what is the next best win on Texas A&M's schedule? A Mississippi State who got their shit blown out by them, Alabama, LSU, and my Rebels. I'll take Notre Dame, Oregon, Kansas State, and Stanford over any SEC team that's not named Alabama. Hell, Notre Dame has a shot against Alabama because Bama's defense isn't what it was last year.

Just have to face it
The SEC is average
as it always is

Question: How many Florida State games have you watched this season?

I've watched 8 or 9 of them and I wouldn't be shocked one damn bit if Northern Illinois beats them by a couple of touchdowns. I even expect Northern Illinois to win because Florida St. sucks. They have one and only one good win against Clemson and couldn't score a fucking point in the second against NC State and almost lost a championship game to a 6-6 Georgia Tech team that was only there because Miami and North Carolina were ineligible.

Also, that Clemson team's two best wins were against NC State and Ball State.

The ACC sucks
pretty much every damn year
just the status quo

 

[AndThat'sTheBottomLine]

The SEC is average huh? So that's why the SEC has won the last 6 national championships isn't it?

Sorry, went to bed. Not interested. I have zero doubts that I would win this, but I want to sit and enjoy the game for what it is: my alma mater getting to play in a BCS game.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

The SEC is average huh? So that's why the SEC has won the last 6 national championships isn't it?

Just because they won the last six national championships doesn't mean that the SEC is great from top to bottom. The SEC has one or two great teams a year and everyone else is average. Since you're a SEC historian, tell me who was a good team last year other than Alabama or LSU?

Just because they won the last six national championships doesn't mean that the SEC is great from top to bottom. The SEC has one or two great teams a year and everyone else is average. Since you're a SEC historian, tell me who was a good team last year other than Alabama or LSU?

Never said I was a historian. I was simply stating that since the SEC has won the last 6 National titles that makes them the best conference until someone knocks them off. I'm a Gator fan first, SEC second. SEC definitely isn't great top to bottom. Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Miss State, Mizzouri,, are all teams that aren't that good, at all. LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M are pretty good. You say Florida wasn't that good and yet we beat 4 top 13 teams. The only team that can say the same is Notre Dame. Alabama and Georgia are both overrated this year but that doesn't mean that Notre Dame is going to lose to Alabama.

I see it being a close game even though Notre Dame's offense isn't all that great I see their Defense holding Bama. Not sure who'll win this one. If Notre Dame wins, SEC is no longer the best. Notre Dame loses, SEC is still the best for the 7th year in a row.

 

[AndThat'sTheBottomLine]

Oh and to answer your question, LSU and Alabama were the best the SEC had to offer considering they were both in the National Championship game. Georgia was overrated but still a good team. Florida had a horrible year yet they still beat the always overrated Ohio State.
