How else to explain this?
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
The Cyclones under Rhoads have been giant killers from time to time. OSU didn’t have the defense. Time for Pawl to plead Bama’s case again

Iowa State in the last 2 years has beaten OSU, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, & Texas Tech. The SEC could have 3 BCS teams if Georgia can win the SECCG.

That is right Tennessee Dawg. Most folks don’t know about that one caveat to the BCS rule of two teams per conference. IF, in the final BCS standings, a conference has the #1 and #2 teams AND neither has won their conference championship, that conference will have 3 teams in BCS bowls. LSU is unbeaten and loses a close one to UGA. Bama and LSU play in New Orleans a week after Georgia plays in the Sugar. How wierd…and frustrating will that be?

Or if UGA loses today, a loss as unlikely as OkSt’s loss, they won’t go to the SECCG. All the game did last night was scare me. Ok St looked at the game as a formality which UGA has tended to do with UK. I just hope the Dawgs are all business just like last week.

I agree that Okie Lite took Iowa State lightly.
Let me also add that the tragic plane crash earlier in the day that killed the women’s basketball coaching staff 10 years after the tragedy that killed much of the men’s program HAD to weigh heavily on the players’ minds as well. How much more should one athletic program endure?

Chizik really built a program over there at Iowa St.
Also, if there has to be a rematch, why shouldn’t it be Oregon/LSU? They at least won their conference. (The Senator may have made that point already).

Seems I remember after the 2006-07 season they were saying Georgia couldn’t go to the National Championship game because ” they didn’t even play in the conference championship game!” Would this not also apply to Alabama or LSU???

Depends on which day you ask Gumby, I mean Herby. Actually, it isn’t which day, it is which teams are involved. What a crock the end of CFB has become. At least prior to the BCS everyone knew we had no NCs, now some think we have rectified it. Nay, nay, we have only put a little lipstick on that ugly pig and given the sheep a system to believe in and proclaim greatness if the computer geeks and talking heads annoit them.

I can see it now … LSU-Alabama rematch for the BCS championship. Alabama wins by a field goal in overtime. LSU insists that they share the title. Nick Saban declares his undying love for NCAA overtime rules. Herbstreit assures us that he’s always believed the two best teams in the country should play for the national title, no matter if they won a conference title. And I drink, and I drink, and I drink.
How awful. Just please, God, don’t let Georgia somehow get screwed by all of this.

Yeah, I’m in essentially the same boat. Just as long as this BCS madness doesn’t affect Georgia’s bowl berth in any kind of negative way. Granted, I don’t know nearly enough about the bowl selection process to have any clear ideas of how it could, but I can’t help but think that if there IS a way for Georgia to get screwed, it’ll happen.

Not I, and I am a staunch believer in the “any given Saturday” philosophy. Didn’t see that coming, shame it was on a Friday night. Would have been much more drama with that score coming across PA systems and TV broadcasts across the country on Saturday.

Armageddon is upon the BCS and Herbstreit. UGA will be part of the BCSCG, and Herbie cannot do anything about it except yak. I just wish this can happen. But a fan like me can be delusional. And it is actually a lot of fun to let your delusions run their coarse.
