First LSU, Now Virginia Tech...Seasons Ruined by Conference Championship Games

Sure proved that tonight. :thumb:

We beat UGA. :lol:

 

and we beat you

 

UGA > LSU > Auburn > Alabama > The Rest

 

I'm just saying that I think LSU was clearly the best team in the SEC this year because of their conference record. You should've just taken that record and went to Atlanta to play in the Sugar Bowl as the SEC representative, instead of trying to justify your record by playing a team that lost twice as many conference games as you did.

LSU is a great football team this year and it is such a shame for you guys to go to the Peach Bowl or the Cotton Bowl, when teams like Georgia, Notre Dame, and Florida State will be going to BCS bowls.

Your only downfalls this year was against Tennessee after Hurricane Katrina and Rita, and in a conference title game that you played after having to play something like 11 games in a row after the hurricanes effected your season.

 

Twice as many?? Nice way to spin the truth. UGA was a top 15 team with 2 losses. You're not fooling anybody. UGA dominated Lsu.

This is the SEC dude, you're clearly confused. If you're the best team in the league, you'll prove it on the field in a championship game....not point to your record like a big 10 team.

 

Both the Big 10 and Pac 10 should be welcomed into the new era of college football and add championship games. Is it fair in college basketball that you can run the table all year, but still have a conference tournament to endure as well? Is it fair in college baseball that you can run the table and still have your regionals to endure? Absolutely it is. And college football should be no different. Maybe soon the NCAA will grow the balls for the Big 10 and Pac 10 and force them to add championship games. Tonights game did not ruin LSU's season. It gave them a chance to be showcased in front of the nation and prove that they were the best. But they were not the best. Without the championship game, LSU would still be at #3 and Georgia at #13. But Georgia is much better than that ranking. And LSU seemed to be ranked a bit too high. And the championship game answered the questions for any doubters.

Get with the program Big 10. :cuss:

 

Shouldn't play a CG? that's the kind of thinking from college football neanderthals that keeps us from getting a playoff system. We certainly don't want to prove which team is the best by deciding it on the field. That would be wrong?

From what I've seen though, only the SEC can pull off a conference championship game. The Big 12 game has been poorly attended at times. CU sent back 5000 tickets this year. I saw a lot of empty seat green on the aeriel shots during the ACC game last night. The SECCG is an event regardless of who is playing.

 

Buckeye fan, I hope you don't think you're speaking for the rest of the Big Ten, as there are many who would like 12 teams, two divisions, and the money a CG would generate... or at least in those years where teams tie for the championship.

 

Good job on representing there, Hawkeye! :thumb:

And since Ohio State and Penn State wound up tied this year, that would've made an excellent rematch in a championship game yesterday. And I think Ohio State would've slapped 'em silly this time around.

 

well...Buckeye fans everywhere are happy that Va Tech and LSU lost, since that will move them into the BCS #4, and finalize their birth in the Feista Bowl against ND per BCS guidelines. so no CCG works well for them this year.
