thespleenenator Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Tell that to Oregon.You're not allowed to say that when your school is under NCAA investigation for serious recruiting violations.Yeah, the second I posted that I knew someone was going to say that. Deleting now. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cola Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Reading rumors that Florida State (big time talk going on there), Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and South Florida.I don't know how I feel about the situation. I have never disliked Texas A&M, and I like the whole "12th man" tradition...fits in line with our other strong SEC traditions I suppose.Having a Texas school in the SEC is going to shake up recruiting for sure. No longer can we lure players out of Texas with the "you can play in the SEC" speech. I think Texas A&M can be competitive as well and are at least striking in while their own iron is pretty hot...but they will certainly have to earn it.Ummm....outside of LSU and Arkansas, that argument wasn't doing SEC teams a lot of good on the recruiting trail. If anything, the conventional wisdom is that this would open Texas up to widespread SEC recruitment.It seems to have been increasing over the past couple of seasons as the dominance has really set in. While we personally haven't signed many out of Texas, we certainly got a lot more attention from them over the past few seasons- and I know if we have, others probably as well. Texas is simply hard to recruit from outside. Fortunately, Florida exists.Well that was a stupid thing to say.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Well, another year dawns on the 116 teams in FBS conferences. Two of them will meet for a national title, but which two?I'm predicting nobody in an FBS conference goes unbeaten and we get a title game between 12-1 Stanford and 12-1 Michigan. Oh, what a game that would be!Meanwhile, the NCAA has implemented a potentially-perceived-as-racist policy that says that schhols that can't graduate 50% of their athletes will get postseason bans.

twi Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I thought there were 120 teams?How the heck is a graduation rate rule racist? I havnt seen that argument. Wouldn't believing the rule is racist suggest that you're of the mindset that not all races are equally intelligent, and that's where the racism enters?

Wouldn't believing the rule is racist suggest that you're of the mindset that not all races are equally intelligent, and that's where the racism enters?I've heard arguments that because it affects most of the schools in the MEAC and SWAC that it's racist. Oh, and no, there are only 116 teams in FBS conferences. There are four independent teams that are FBS, but let's face it, none of them are relevant on the national stage. So we can safely discount them from the national title race. Besides, the BCS anymore only invites conference champions to their title game.

FiddySicks Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Not a chance that happens, though. If they get anything more than I think 10 wins their guaranteed a BCS bowl bid, which is nonsense IMO.

WJMorris3 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm sure if Notre Dame went undefeated they'd be getting very serious attention for a national title bid...Not with that weak schedule. I'm sorry, only one ranked team? Why not go to Alabama or to LSU or to Florida State? Oh, that's right, because they'd rather host South Florida or play neutral to Army.Tell me, would you rather have a 12-1 and Big Ten champ Michigan or a 12-0 not champ of anything Notre Dame?

I'm not really sure how to respond to this one.So what, Arizona vs Alabama, with Arizona winning 117-0?It's never preseason 1 vs 2. Oklahoma is going to screw up somewhere. Alabama is a young team, and I think they lose to South Carolina. They, along with Wisconsin, could also go the the "natty" however. Why you make fun of me?
