Whoa, whoa, whoa. That would mean there's a strong possibility a non-conference champion could sneak into the big 4. I'm sure Armageddon would soon follow.

And in your system, losers like the Bayou Bengals get rewarded more than the teams that beat them.

this is now just funny. I wish it was my system first and foremost, i'd be doing something a lot different today i can tell you that.

secondly, if memory serves, LSU won the title game. FL didn't make it to the title game.

so, like my dad used to tell me when i was little, when i didn't agree with him "tough toe nails, deal with it".

it is what it is.

Boy that's wrong. The odds that a non-champ would get in are huge. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened the first year they went to that system.

and i'm sure you'd have a resume ready to tout all the reasons why they would be "more deserving" according to you. none of which would over come the fact that someone else in their own conf. would be looking down on them chanting "we're number one".

you know, the more i think about it, we should just scrap the whole conf. title thing, and at the end of the year, everyone gets a co championship. that way everyone gets the warm fuzzies and banners and rings. college football socialism...healthcare soon to follow.........:thumbsup:

Well, when you don't have decent argument I guess the best defense is to just go with facetious drivel.

I've brought facts and examples and even some theoretical situations. You've brought warm fuzzies, "the scoreboard doesn't lie", and "because you say so".

i can see it now, no more SEC divisions or title games, everyone gets to keep their job because we simply don't care who wins the conf. anymore.

short of that, far be it for TN to get in to the title game as the underdog and heaven forbid win the thing. i'd feel guilty, like we robbed some other team of their right to play for and win the title.

in fact, i almost feel like apologizing to FL for the 01 game, since it's so apparent they were more deserving than us and LSU.

gimmie a break........

LOL.......what fact?

FL was more deserving than LSU.

wrong. FL LOST LSU WON. those are facts..

LSU was 3rd best/place, whatever you want to call it......wrong, they were 1st, best, champion, because the won the game. that is a fact.

anything else is pure speculation and conjecture on your part. you have tried to rip all those games up as much as possible, yet none of it removes the fact that TN beat FL to win the EASt. LSU won the WEst. and LSU won the title.

so, keep making lists of who's "deserving" based on whatever criteria you've made up, and i'll stick to who wins and loses, and we'll be just fine.

you are correct, it would be a yawn, but from what you have been saying all day, this is basically what it boils down to for you.

so you should be happy and excited.

Wow, you posted something of substance. I guess one of out three isn't bad. You mention the who beat who scenarios, but you left out that LSU lost to three SEC teams, one of which was Florida. LSU = SEC champs. They deserved it. They deserved it based on the way the SEC is set up. The NCAA is not set up the same way. Thus, they don't deserve a shot at the national title more than Florida.

As for making up criteria... you yourself said the scoreboard doesn't lie. LSU-UF: 44-15, Gators.

where exactly did i mis interpret you?

you've already said the FL was more deserving of the SEC Title that year than both TN and LSU, hence the apology from TN fans everywhere for preventing what they so dserved so sayith kptvol.

i don't see the problem?

LSU did what they had to do to win the title, Florida didn't. Based on the way the SEC has been set up they accomplished what they had to do to win the championship.

Okay. I usually read through the history of a thread, but in this case, since I had already read most of this thread previously, I just jumped in toward the end of the thread.

So settling it on the field only applies in the SEC championship game? Also, I never claimed that LSU wasn't SEC champs, but they weren't the best SEC team that year. If any SEC team deserved a shot at the title that year, it was Florida.

They should do what they already do. That is, consider teams other than conference champions.

BZZZ. Wrong answer. In order to be considered for the National Championship game, you should be required to be the recognized champion of your conference. How can you be the National Champion without being the conference champion? This has already proved to be the only correct answer, as the only time a non-conference champion was included in the National Championship Game, they received one of the greatest bowl game beat downs of all time.
