I know breathless lobbying about the BCS title game is a college tradition, but this is a little over the top, methinks.
“It’s already happened in 2004, and it would be a disservice to the nation if we got left out,” Jacobs said.
“A disservice to the nation”… weak sauce, bro.
Besides, he’s a little premature with the rhetoric, isn’t he? With the way Auburn’s season has gone, just wait another week. We’re probably about to witness Auburn winning the SECCG on another fluke play and, hell, Duke upsetting FSU in the ACC championship. It’s been that kind of year.

How amusing that Mizzou gets to ATL before A@M after all the JFF hype and such. And damn, what if Spurrier had beat them Dawgs? Nice to have been a fly in his ointment.

Really would be BS if Mizzou is not in the game if they win. OSU has played no one that is decent all year and Mizzou has several quality wins and their lone loss was in double overtime to a top ten team.
The Barn on the other hand has won by smoke and mirrors and got beaten soundly by LSU.

OK, OK. Since everybody else is dancing all around it I’ll say it–Georgia’s lucky season was….2012. That is the year we were supposed to win it all. Destined after the Sean CALLOUT–played like champs the rest of the season. We had Bama dead to rights in the SECCG and once again, like always, Bobo (he’s really the one who did it) and CMR blow the game at the end. Their strategy of not spiking the ball would have been fine if CMR hadn’t frittered away the TOs earlier. But with no TOs left, you simply cannot do what they did. Our all-world QB was signalling for a spike and they over-ruled him-and look what happened. 2012 was UGA’s year. It was pissed away by the same kind of end of game screw-ups that we have all come to expect from CMR and Bobo. Lose one for the Gipper! That’s Richt’s motto. UGA will never win another SEC Championship or a National Championship as long as CMR is HC. As long as he stays–Dawgnation, get used to disappointment.

Should be a great game, from a purely intellectual, “I like college football” point of view…Both coaches are pretty good, both teams are pretty good, both defenses see similar offenses every day.
I thought Mizzou was going to be pretty good, had no idea about Awbun.

Of course we could expect no less from the head of the SEC’s premier rogue program. But if Mizzou beats Auburn and the urbster’s buck nuts lose to as party, I can almost hear the same thing coming out of Saban.

One of those (FSU) would be a monumental upset, the other game looks like a near toss-up to me. Can’t decide if I want Ohio to win and get humiliated in the BCS game, or humiliated in some other bowl. Hate that I will have to vote them in the Top 10 in the Mumme Poll this week, I really don’t think they belong that high so I may not. How can they struggle with Michigan in a game they need to look impressive in?
Rivalry week really had some teeth this year. All year the favorites were taking care of business but there were several upsets, or near upsets, the past three days. I don’t recall a year where the rivalry cliché of “throw out the records” was appropriate in so many games.

As a true fan of the SEC, and a Georgia partisan, I can honestly say that I’ll be thrilled to see Auburn sitting out on the bleachers while Ohio State and Florida State play.
