There's no way a Buckeye, Wolverine, Hoosier, CornHusker, Spartan, Boilermaker, Illini, etc. would ever say that about losing to some surfer dudes!!!

Wow you learn something new every day I can't believe I missed the press conference that announced the Nebraska CORNHUSKERS joined the big 10

I am no OSU or USC fan but.... I need USC to beat the ever livin' **** out of the buckeyes for my evil master plan to fall into place.

I do not think UGA will ever be mentioned again on ESPN unless we go into the Alabama game undefeated, difficult YES , Impossible NO , but UGA has gotten no respect in the media (ESPN) and hardly any coverage during their collegiate discussions on Gameday and Sportscenter. Now if UGA loses to South Carolina then ESPN has a valid reason to ignore us, but we haven't lost yet. So if we are able to hand the ole' ball coach a whoopin and then travel west and beat ASU, then I believe we will be back in the talking points, although I believe people should be talking now.

It is not even funny how big of a monopoly ESPN has on sports coverage and if they do not favor your team you are doomed media wise.

By the way Georgia is playing the USC Trojans today in soccer although USC is ranked #3 and defending national champs, maybe the dawgs will keep it close. If not, it is the only futbol game that USC could beat the dawgs in ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Goooooooooo Dawgs beat the Cocks!

Well, it wasn't a whooping, but the Dawgs did somehow prevail. I hope there are LOTS of laps and wind sprints in store for the penalized many. I have to say that the TV coverage was lackluster. While we did get to see the "ball coach" frequently adopt the lemon look, we did not get to see a visor flop or headphone toss, both of which I was very much looking forward to.




What happened to OSU? Wow.

Keep...oh, never mind.

I will keep "talkin" Craig. USC stomped Ohio and BYU gave UCLA their worse loss in history:

USC 35 Ohio 3

BYU 59 UCLA 0

It is nice to see my USC and BYU Team win!

I repeat, USC will crush OSU. I will give you OSU +14

Oh happy day! The Buckeyes played like they were against an SEC team ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh by the way did you notice the SEC owns HALF of the top 10 spots hmmm.

"On Sunday, the SEC became the first conference to place five team among the first 10 in the AP Top 25."

Yea they are not the toughest conference. No way.

Anyhow, the Dawgs eeeeked past Spurrier in what remains a historically low scoring battle. As you remember the SC loss kept us from laying the wood to the Trojans last year for the BCS championship. So even though the win was very ugly, I believe having the South Carolina monkey off our back will help us tremendously. Now comes Arizona State, will we be able to play in 105 degree dry heat. That will be quite interesting, especially since UNLV beat them in overtime.

Well congrats to USC, they look like a well oiled machine. I just hope ASU sneaks up on you.

In one breath you can say that the media does not respect SEC, and in the next you can say that 5 of the top 10 teams are from the SEC. If the media did not respect them they would not vote them. I realize you are refering to the coaches pole. But I'm sure the AP pole will not vary much. The reason the media was talking up the big 10 and the pac 10 was they had the big matchup this week. I'm sure the attention will be focused squarely on the SEC this week with the FL Tenn. game and the LSU Auburn game coming up. As it typically goes with you SEC fans if the coverage isn't constantly on the SEC you feel disrespected. That may be because untill the last 10 years the SEC didn't really deserve the respect they garner today.
And I haven't heard any one on this thread state that the SEC was not the toughest confrence in college football, just that the other confrences are not totally worthless as you SEC fans may believe.
As for OSU they can stop talking about the national title and settle in to contending for the big10 title. That will be no easy task as Penn St. Wisconson, Iowa, and Ill. all look very tough.

ESPN is the devil of which I refer to the "media", and yes we are proud of our SEC conference. Our commisioner is not scared of a playoff system.

If you watched the OSU game you should know that ESPN/ABC is very rarely pro OSU I'm suprised I could get any comentary on the game between Mushbugers girly giggles, and snotty comments. And he must have been drinking before the national championship game last year, because I actually heard him make a few positive coments about osu during coverage. However they quickly gave him reason to go back to ripping them.
I would be in favor of a playoff system, it would have eliminated the chances of USC and UGA getting to play cake walk teams in BCS games instead of playing eachother wich clearly should have happened. Instead of our traditions causing usc to match up with a clearly outclassed BIG 10 opponent. And UGA playing a team who made it into the BCS by playing a BCS Subdivision caliber schedule.
