i don't want to hear well 'bama lost to utah cuse they didn't have their left tackle - if the sec and bama are dominant they s/b able to dominate utah and the game shouldn't even be close with or without 1 starting OL out

they were average at best

has everyone forgot the beavers got CRUSHED by PSU in happy valley.
IF there were a 4 or 8 team playoff, usc would not string together 2-3 blowouts against Good defenses and teams that would punch back.

Bama does not have the depth (right now) of usc, fla and texas. sure Bama can lose tonight. IF Bama plays the the way they played clemson, uga, auburn, it shouldn't be close.... if they play like they did against ole miss. it will be close.

gales0678 01-02-2009 11:11 AM

listen - if OSU is not that good then this s/b a big win tonight for 'bama no?

osu lost by 3 at Utah

utah has to come cross country to the sugar bowl - which is almost a home game for any sec team , and they should hammer them - no excuses , we shall see tonight

tide - what do you think was 'bama's best win this season ???

that's fine - tell me why bama shouldn't beat utah big tonight

OSU stinks according to everyone here just about and they lost to Utah by 3 in utah , on that 1 game alone shouldn't 'bama roll tonight ???

on my confidence sheets I've got a minimum of 29 on 'bama (2 sheets with 34). Utah's only game against a decent defense was tcu, which they should have lost at home. Bama's defense is better than tcu's and their offense is alot better than tcu.

first off, OSU does not stink. Anyone on here who said that was wrong.

Stop doing this "well this team beat that team who beat that team so they must be better" junk cause its meaningless in college football!!!!!!

let me have a score shouldn't they roll by 20 here if they are a powerhouse and utah is from the MVC ??

not at all. i'm stating a fact. Bama had NO business being 12-0 this year, 8-4 tops. they beat clemson in atlanta, uga in athens, ut in knoxville and lsu in BR. they were 10 underdogs to fla and left the game slip away. they got some Good upper classmen leadership this year and pulled the team together. 9 senoirs but 3 are OL. the defense is mostly fresh. and sophs.
the 2 games they played without AS, they struggled. i'm hoping that, these guys came to far this season to allow it to end with a loss.

Would be hilarious if yutes can spring the upset tonite...

The 'national champion' can't be considered legit (again) this season without a victory against USC ... or victory in a playoff in which USC competed.



USC is simply WAY too good to ignore.





I feel bad for the UF (or OU) kids. They deserved better...

I'm not arguing about Florida.

What I am saying is, if you lose a game, any game, against any opponent, you leave it up to the polls and computers. It is the current system that they are playing under.

Plain and simple. Win 'em all. It's not about OSU or UM.

In the last 3 years the big 10 champion has been pummeled equally by 2 sec schools and now USC

The rose bowl was over by halftime , just like the last 2 bcs games.

For anyone to think that USC is not in the same class as any of the top SEC schools or top big 12 schools they are just kidding themselves

They could beat any of the teams that are left playing including Florida and Oklahoma

You don't think that playing at home helped?

fair eneough , but don't forget a 2 loss team got to play a home game for the bcs title last year - and don't tell me about the ot stories that was a great sell by the tigers last year

there was a team from the big 12 that had only 1 loss and could have gone over LSU

Sorry, SO....the rightful teams are in the title game. This is the system we have , and the Trojans shot themselves at Beavers Stadium. The Trojans are really playing well now..hopefully this will motivate them to NOT play down to the competition. But it would've been a great game either way.

exactly what was UF doing when they lost to Miss?

and how is OSU not consider a good team right now - they got beat by OU without their best player other than that they won all their games at the end of the season

all OSU does every year is win bowl games

the bcs computers don't kick in for several weeks, and the rankings are based on the year; ole miss in total actually turned out to be a good team this year.
i hadn't been back here since before the ole miss/tt game, which only served to reinforce why fla got in.
i really expected texas tech to win...ooops.

But how can anyone say Ol Miss is better than Oregon State? Oregon State has already won its bowl game (granted maybe the most boring bowl game ever played) and OSU had a terrific season, just as good as Ol Miss.

I dont think anyone can say Ol' Miss is better than OSU.

i think after todays bowl, you can say ole miss is better than osu.

lol yeah, i'm sure that oklahoma or florida will lose sleep over their tainted title. maybe one of these years, usc will live up to the hype and actually make it back to the title game. instead of losing once again to osu or stanford and costing us all the chance to see true greatness in action. :rolleyes:
