Pft....Florida won't even be in it. :thumb:

 

Well he does have Alabama 9-3. Waka Waka

 

A fair pick. I hope to see either Tenn or UGA in the title game, as it is hard to beat the same team twice in a season.

 

You know everyone always says this but I've never seen any empirical evidence that suggests it and I don't think anyone has. If you have it I would love to see it.

 

It has really only been an issue in college football since the champ games came into being. Seems like the data would be out there but it probably hasn't occurred that much.

 

Rematches have happened in the SEC CG 5 times since '92. 4 times, the regular season winner won the rematch as well (Bama-'99, Florida-'00, LSU-'03, Aubie-'04). The only split was '01 (Tenn/LSU).

Only other rematch I remember off the top of my head, is UF/FSU in '96. FSU pretty much pushed Florida around in the regular season, but UF returned the favor in the Sugar Bowl.

 

I agree. I have evidence to the contrary. Remember UGA in '03? We beat'em by 3 in regular season and destroyed them in the SECCG.

 

LSU has played a team twice in one season several times throughout history, and has won both ONCE- 2003.

(I think...)

 

Not a big data pool as I thought but hardly shows that it is 'tough to beat a team twice.' Sort of surpises me how wrong that is. Thanks for the info.
