NCAA / BCS Bowl Games 2011-2012

Alabama's defensive numbers- all-time epic, or product of facing weak offenses?

 

[SabresRule]

Alabama proved that defense wins championships... IF YOU DON'T PLAY ANYBODY WITH AN OFFENSIVE PULSE!

Arkansas was the only team with a real offense Bama played. They beat up on weak-offense team's that don't move the ball.

Soft schedule, weak resume, one good win, didn't win their division and conference, got the nod over an OUTRIGHT conference champion- can't believe the voters chose them over Okie State.

The voters showed their SEC bias- they chose Alabama not on what they did, but who they are and where they play.

Lol. Well, thank goodness it's Bama and not SMU. Now that would be embarassing.

I know Pitt sucks, don't have to remind me.

 

[cybok0]

The Smug Ego Conference rides again!

Embrace it, you'll feel better.

 

[Derwin0]

Like they always say, Defenses win Championships.

 

[SabresRule]

Embrace it, you'll feel better.

Smug Ego Conference was an acronym I've actually embraced. It's not Like, say, Leastleftovers.

Jordan Jefferson the next Jamarcus Russell?

PS. If this game was between two Big Ten teams, our conference would be crucified. What a snoozer.

Well, like it or hate it, it is done.
Bama put on as dominating a defensive performance as I have seen in a very long time, and Saban had the gameplan to move the ball not using Richardson as much.
McCarron did very well, made the passes that were asked of him, and ultimately put them in the position to win this one.
Kudos to the LSU defense for stiffening up when needed. We moved the ball pretty much as we wanted, but until the end just couldnt punch it in.

All in all, I am VERY pleased with the effort. It has been shown, once again, that defense wins championships, and....

SEC! SEC! SEC!

Roll Tide Roll!!!
See ya next year LSU, should be another good one.

No doubt about Alabama: Tide is No. 1 in AP poll - College Football - Rivals.com

Three SEC (West) teams in the final top 5.

Hey A&M, you think playing 2nd fiddle to Texas was bad, guess what!

Alabama did look like a world beater yesterday. One of the best defensive efforts I've ever seen.

And they will be entering the division with a new coaching staff. Gonna be interesting.

 

[Ronnie-]

Yes, very interesting.
With that, and probably BCS changes, plus likely more expansion in the near future.

This I hope not, but probably will happen anyway.

 

[Ronnie-]

This I hope not, but probably will happen anyway.

I dont want it either, but they are not stopping at 14 would be my bet.

 

[Ramy]

Who is the 14th?

 

[mdonnelly]

Who is the 14th?

Missouri.

 

[Ronnie-]

Who is the 14th?

Missouri, and they are in the Eastern Division for now, which is another reason I dont think it stays at 14. From what I have read, putting them in the East was a temporary measure.

 

[Ramy]

When were they officially announced? I never saw it.

Missouri Tigers' move to SEC official, but Big 12 hurdles remain - ESPN

1st week of November

Well ya the game was boring. Unless you had something to gain/lose from the outcome. its what happens when you have the two best defenses in college go head to head..

And dont feed us this BS about oh LSUs offense sucks blah blah blah.. they went toe to toe with the Rose Bowl champion Oregon ducks and out scored them 40 to 27. They went toe to toe with the Orange Bowl Champion WVU who scored 70 points against clemson in that game. And beat them 47 to 21.. No doubt about LSU being a great team all around. Beating 2 BCS Bowl Champions.



All and all an outstanding year for the SEC as a whole. Winning record in OOC games, winning record in bowl games, and another national title.



The only problem I notice is that LSU seems to be still hanging out in the Super dome.. Rumour has it the only open exit is on the other side of the 50 yard line and well, LSU cant seem to cross it. ZINGGG
