November 8, 200916 yr Uh what do you do w/ Florida? They beat LSU at LSU. If LSU would have won that game in ugly fashion it would have been interesting. LSU would jump them IMO. If that had happened one of them, if not both, would have been ahead of UC.

November 8, 200916 yr Author I think it is fixed, as in there is cheating going on. I know that's a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it's really bad. I don't understand how replay officials are missing these calls in Florida and Bama games. :ohbrother:
November 8, 200916 yr Somebody please tell me that the officials didn't help Alabama in this one in a major way. If there's a way to get the Tide and the Gators both to the BCS Champioship game, this looks like the year.
November 8, 200916 yr I agree that it's impossible to get all of the calls right on the field. It's very tough. Watching the replay however gives you a chacne to correct the call. The interception in the LSU game yesterday was a terrible call. I'm not even sure terrible describes it. He got in both feet and migh have had one foot in two different times b/c he made sure to drag it before he went out of bounds. In the Florida/Arkansas game people can say what they want but when Florida had to get a TD to tie it they got very single call including two calls that were made up. I'm not saying it's fixed per say, but I think they are trending towards giving those two teams calls. That is bad IMO. The Iowa/Indiana game was even worse. The B10 stood to gain a lot if Iowa ran the table. They got every call and then some on replay. To say there's cheating going on may be a bit much, but something is not right. I'm not great at using spell check either.
November 8, 200916 yr Only time folks don't like is when they don't get it. That one point had little to do with the end. I agree with you. The "sheet" will say go for two in that situation. Going for 1 wouldn't have hurt either, but I don't think he can get criticized for going for it, IMO. Had no effect on the outcome of the game. Miles, IMO, was trying to get all the points he could get, and at the time, Bama hadn't shown the ability to put the ball in the endzone to that point. I think it is fixed, as in there is cheating going on. I know that's a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it's really bad. I don't understand how replay officials are missing these calls in Florida and Bama games. Fixed? Yes it does. They wouldn't be guaranteed a spot in the title game if LSU beats Bama and Florida. In fact they probably don't get a team in the title game under that scenario if UC runs the table. Had LSU beat Bama, and went on to beat UF while winning their other games, they would have been at worst #2 in the BCS IMO. Cincy is good, but LSU would have a great resume.
November 8, 200916 yr Your tv's must have had a different angle than mine, because I couldn't tell if he had a foot in or not. Hard to believe they didn't have a camera down that sideline.
November 9, 200916 yr I agree with you. The "sheet" will say go for two in that situation. Going for 1 wouldn't have hurt either, but I don't think he can get criticized for going for it, IMO.

So if Bama struggles to score TD's shouldn't you get the point so two FG's don't beat you? Yes. Probably, but it isn't guarenteed like it is if Bama meets Florida. Florida would have a very good argument if they were to lose to LSU in the SEC title game. Why do people ignore that part of the argument?
November 9, 200916 yr I can't wait for the SEC Championship for the rematch. I look forward to seeing what two of the best defenses of the decade do against each other.

November 9, 200916 yr Miami (FL) from early 2000s may have something to say about that. I said 2 of the best; not the 2 best.

Florida would have a very good argument if they were to lose to LSU in the SEC title game. Why do people ignore that part of the argument? True, but I think that it's really up to the coach. It's not a bad call to go for 2 or not to go for two in that situation. I'm a fan of conspiracy theories but come on. So in theory a 1 loss SEC champ LSU would get jumped by a 1 loss SEC runner-up in UF?

So in theory a 1 loss SEC champ LSU would get jumped by a 1 loss SEC runner-up in UF? I hate it, but I can live w/ the decision. I'm not making millions to coach. I'm not a fan of them, but how hard is it to get a replay called correctly? It's just weird that Florida and Bama win all the replays. I'm not sure what would happen. I'm positive that if both teams are unbeaten the winner plays for the title. That is my point.
November 9, 200916 yr Another bang up job by the replay refs too. The LSU defender had both feet in on the late interception. Maybe they should just let Florida and Bama play now so teams can quit getting cheated. Can I ask you a question? Do you really think Florida would have lost to either Mississippi State or Arkansas? Do you think Tim Tebow wouldn't have delivered on the last drives against Arkansas? And do you really think that LSU could have won the game with Jarrett Lee playing quarterback? Did you see him last season? He is one of the worst Division One Quarterbacks of all time. All-Time.
