Stupid statement that you decide to hitch your smartass comment to. Tell me why Florida would need to schedule OOC games out of state when they play FSU every year, which with the excpetion of the last 3 years has probably been the most dominant program in the nation the last 15 years (and an occasional hone at hone with Miami)? How many tough OOC games in state does OSU have to show for? Akron? Ohio? How about Michigan? Maybe they have to go out of state to give their schedule some legitimacy when Florida does not.
I have no problem with people voicing their opinion as to whether Florida deserves to be in the NCTG. OSU has every right to be a TD fav. But those who think FLorida is going to get punked need a shot of reality. Go check out Cowherd's comments about how LSU was 'going to kick FLorida's teeth in'. Didn't happen. What about UT's passign game (probably the best combo in the NCAA) hanging 50 on Florida? Sorry. The facts are that FLorida can get physical with physical teams and can match the skill of skilled teams.
If anyone could appreciate what Florida's done this year, I would figure it would be OSU backers who were in a similar position against Miami a few years back - they JUST WON.

Just reread CWood's post. If you want to be considered the best in the country, you should play team's outside of the deep south....something Florida never does.
no kidding
here's the new measuring stick
if it only takes one tank of gas in your rv to get to a road game, it's not really a road game.
if the drive in your rv is only requires 1 waffle house pit stop, then it's not really a road game
if in 30+ years you've never been outside your region, you really dont play and road games.
hop on a plane, travel 2-3 hours, leave your timezone, have limited fans that make that trip and win those games all the time.......then tell me you're the greatest conf ever, hands down.
until then, your conf dominates its region and is basically on par with the other top conf in the country in any given year.

Michigan deserves what it got
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
Cry me a river for the Michigan Wolverines. Send me the time and place for their pity party and I'll be there in tux and tails -- all black in honor of their state of mourning. Let's all kick and scream and threaten to secede from the Union or the BCS because the Wolverines were snubbed.
But the Wolverines really had a simple way to avoid this feeding frenzy. It was so easy and simple that I can't believe Lloyd Carr never thought of it.
Lloyd, listen, do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh? Let me whisper in your ear.
Go undefeated and try winning your own league!
That's all and you bury the Urban Legend that you don't deserve a shot at the national title.
But you blew it. You lost a game at Ohio State and you can bury your tears during the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena.
I don't like the BCS any more than the next guy. However, you have to admit the last weekend of college football was about as riveting as anything we've seen in a long time. And Sunday was a nailbiter of epic proportions. It was like staying up late in 2000 watching the results of Bush-Gore. First, (ironically), the networks called Florida for Gore. Then, for Bush. Then, they didn't know any longer.
Most woke up Sunday thinking it was Michigan and then the pendulum shifted toward Florida. Then, you really didn't have a clue so you were glued to the tube. It was like the final night of American Idol.
Michigan is a very good football team. One of the best in the land. Yet it barely beat Ball State and it played in the backward Big Ten Conference.
Some Big Ten zealots say Michigan would have gone undefeated in the SEC. Think again. Try a few road trips like the Swamp or Auburn, Deaf Valley or Fayetteville or Knoxville. Little tougher than Purdue and Northwestern.
I don't have anything against Michigan. Sure, Carr is about as cantankerous as any person I've ever interviewed in college football. You could catch a cold sitting next to this guy.
But this isn't personal. The Wolverines felt they earned the spot because they beat Notre Dame. Florida beat Tennessee, LSU and Arkansas.
After a grueling schedule, which included a season ender against rival FSU (on the road), it had to beat Arkansas in its 13th game of the season. Meanwhile, UM was at home, chomping on popcorn.
Michigan claims it only lost to Ohio State. Yes, but it didn't have to contend with a play-in game like Florida. Oh, I'm sorry, that didn't happen because the antediluvian Big Ten doesn't have a championship game. Not my problem that they're stuck in the '50s up there in the Rust Belt.
Some credit Mike Slive for turning the tide in favor of the Gators. Who knows? But can you imagine the angst in college football if the SEC was denied BCS entrance two of the last three years?
Auburn deserved sympathy two years ago. It went undefeated. It was simply dominating. Florida isn't in the league of the 2004 Auburn team. The loss at Auburn hurt Florida in October but the Gators bounced back.
The bottom line is this: The Wolverines could have ended this sniveling debate by knocking off Ohio State. But you see, Carr can't beat Jim Tressel. Mr. Sweater Vest continues to abuse Carr like a rented mule. If that explanation doesn't compute, look up Tommy Tuberville vs. Mike Shula in the dictionary.
At the end of the day, the Gators may regret this elevation because now -- after the celebrating is done -- they will have to play the best team in the land.
Regardless of the outcome, they deserved the shot. They won the best league in football. Michigan didn't even win its own conference. So, Wolverine fans, quit the crying game. Jump on the jumbo jet and head out to California, where you likely will get spanked again, this time in the Rose Bowl by USC.
I don't really care, though. I'll be watching the bowl game that matters -- Florida vs. Ohio State in the national championship game. The system may continue to be flawed. But this year, they got the two best teams for the right reasons, playing for all the marbles.

Pac10 & Big10 cheerleaders getting together to form the same SEC/Penis Envy pyramid......
If USC hadn't lost they'd be at each other's throats like high school girls about who is #2.....

bcs title game: fla-lsu
rose bowl: tenn-aub
fiesta bowl: ark-uga
sugar bowl: kentucky-s carolina
orange bowl: bama-vandy
damn bowl comittees got it all wrong.
"SEC fan: Keep banging on ND. The only reason we now know they suck is because two great teams handed them their ass. Thanks a lot for doing your part and chattering from the deep south."
you guys and your SEC obsession are really getting tiresome. And btw you little wanker, ND is about to get their ass handed to them again by a team that didn't even play in the SEC championship. The SEC champion will be in the BCS title game. Get over it and
:stfu:
