Good thing Michigan is playing VT tonight, Michigan should win pretty easy and give the Big 10 a little hope.
You're talking two separate issues.
1. Michigan in a BCS game, MSU not. Michigan is a bigger name, has a bigger name QB, thus it pulls much greater interest and money. The Conference Championship games should have no bearing on final standing in the BCS other than the winner should AQ.
2. Georgia is not the second best team in the SEC. In the division of the SEC, it beat the worst division, but the second best team was definitely not GA. As stated by everyone in this thread, GA was at best, 4th best team in the SEC. You're banking your entire theory on the conference division which has absolutely no bearing on who the second best team is.
I'll agree to the above with the exception of Denard Robinson. He'll never play a down in the NFL. I'll be surprised if he's drafted. A team's QB has no part in the selection process. There needs to be a 8 team playoff. The rest of this crap really doesn't matter much.
The UA all american game is on this week, 10 Texas commits are playing. Should be a good preview of the new talent.
And last year they had 10, and the year before they had 10, and the year before....
This has just made my day!!! All the Michigan slappies calling calling into Valenti & Foster crying about MSU's win and the fact MSU has won back-to-back 11 games two years in a row. Michigan hasn't done this since Teddy Roosevelt was President. Bwahahaha!!! Whiners....
Two 11 win seasons, How many BCS bowl wins? How many Big 10 championships? How many National Championships? Its not that hard to win 11 games playing in the Pathetic 10 confrence.
Those seasons dont mean shit without BCS bowl games, plain and simple.
Ross, MSU isn't National Championship worthy, at least not yet. Considering the last 40 years, I'll take them playing for a Big Ten Championship 3 out of the last 4 years. 1 Big Ten Championship out of 3. Other than OSU, who's won 11 games back-to-back while wearing something other than a leather helmet?
I hate when bowls drop their old bowl name completely and only go by a corporate sponsor name. The Outback Bowl is tough though, it has a lame name that didn't follow the stadium it was in to start with.
since 2001 Texas has done it 3 times.
and by done it, I mean gone back to back 11 or greater win seasons.
Teams that have won 11 games in each of the last two years...
ACC
Virginia Tech
Big 12
Oklahoma State
Big Ten
Michigan State
Wisconsin
Mountain West/WAC
Texas Christian
Boise State
PAC-12
Oregon
Stanford
SEC
LSU
That's 9 teams out of 120. And yes, talent wise, MSU is probably in the lower third of that list. But with MSU's defense I think they could easily compete with Wisconsin, VaTech, BSU and TCU.
In the Pathetic 10? No Idea, but Im pretty sure USC and Texas have both had back to back 11 win seasons this decade. Thats just off the top of my head, Maybe Florida too? OU? Oregon?
