Read this if you can numbnuts!! CHICKEN SHIT CONFERENCES(BIG TEN AND PANSY 10)
What have I been saying Forever??????
IF YOUR SCARED SAY YOUR SCARED!!! THEY DID!!!
College football fans disagree on a myriad of subjects, from the best conference to the toughest schedule to who cheats and who doesn't.
But there seems to be one idea that those same fans are in almost universal agreement: college football needs a playoff.
Polls show a majority of football fans are in favor of a playoff, and a growing number of college coaches are coming around to that point of view, also.
Even a few of the BCS conference commissioners - most notably the Southeastern Conference's Mike Slive and the Big East's Mike Tranghese - are starting to sound more favorable toward the idea.
The problem, as it always seems to be, is the Big 10 and Pac-10 conferences.
Commissioner Jim Delaney has suggested that his conference, the Big 10, along with the Pac-10 and the Rose Bowl, would drop out of the BCS before agreeing to any form of playoff.
The independence of that triumvirate has long frustrated the other four BCS Conferences (SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big East). The Big 10, Pac-10 and Rose Bowl did not join in the original Bowl Alliance, the precursor to the BCS, because they wanted to protect their long-standing and very lucrative arrangement of a season culminating in Pasadena every year.
It took major concessions to those entities that finally enabled the current BCS system to happen. The other BCS conference agreed to waive the $6 million fee the Sugar, Orange and Fiesta pay to be part of the championship rotation; agreed that the Rose Bowl could keep its traditional New Year's Day time slot while the other bowls rotate; and allowed the Rose Bowl to negotiate its own television contract, while the other three BCS bowls are negotiated collectively.
The reason it was vital to include the Big 10 and Pac-10 is because there are only 11 conferences that make up Division I football (as opposed to 31 Division I basketball conferences), and then-SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer knew he needed a majority of conferences voting as a block to maintain control of major college football.
Delaney was quoted this week as saying the only way he sees his conference presidents considering a playoff format is "if the public walks away from our games during the regular season and walks away from television during the regular season and walks away from the bowls, (then) they're saying, `We won't support this anymore. We want something else.'"
The current Big 10 and Pac-10 contract with the Rose Bowl does not expire until 2014, giving them considerable leverage to hold off any move toward a playoff at least until then.
Unfortunately, there is no way to have a true national championship that doesn't include the Big 10 and Pac-10; that doesn't include Ohio State and USC, teams that have played in four of the last five BCS Championship Games.
Delaney is essentially saying until he sees fans so unhappy with the current process they start to lost interest in the games, he doesn't see any point in changing.
In other words, the passion that makes football fans love the college game more than ever is what may keep us from ever having a real playoff.
And, as Delaney said, "I don't see (the fans) walking away from anything." Ray Melick's column appears Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Write him at rmelick@bhamnews.com.

"Honestly, we've played a lot better teams than them," Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss said. "I could name four or five teams in the SEC that could probably compete with them and play the same type of game we did against them.
"Meyer had a word for the critics who demeaned the Gators.
"I'd like to thank all those people. Our pregame speech was easy," he said.

I understand that people have different opinions, tunnel vision, etc But some of this brilliant stuff around here is just amazing and sad to me!! So go to work convincing yourselfs your teams are great, they play a hard schedule, conference is strong, etc!! (WORKED WELL TILL YOU HAD TO PLAY SOMEONE WORTH A SHET!!) We can go a few rounds again next year unless you wise up!!

It doesn't mean shit you said you called it you bet you told everyone. Well? who did you tell? I have never seen a bigger conference fan than you. This way every year you can have a winning team:mj07: No one said the SEC wasn't strong, and who has the tunnel vision. Again stop with the name calling, what is wrong with you? by the way the NOT thing was over about 10 years ago.
I hope your kidding, I think I will call the AD at lets say air force and tell him the SEC is having tryouts this week to join the conference.

While most of the country is scratching their heads over Florida?s 41-14 demolishing of media darling Ohio State, those who watch football in the south shouldn?t have been surprised at all.
After all, this was a team from the Southeastern Conference taking on another pretender from the Big 10. The only thing that shocked me was that Ohio State actually had a touchdown drive in the game.
Though the game didn?t officially end until the confetti rained down upon Chris Leak, the outcome was actually decided the second Florida decided to step on the field instead of forfeit, like those geniuses at ESPN seemed to think they should have done. For the past month Florida, along with the rest of the SEC, had to listen to the many reasons why Overrated State University would breeze through the championship game. ESPN?s Pat Forde had 20 of them, including the fact that is wasn?t Ohio State who was overrated, but ?the speed thing,? going on to say that the Big 10 teams have all upgraded their speed to hang with the SEC.
As Lee Corso would say ?not so fast my friend.?
But you can?t blame Forde too much. After all, on Nov. 19 he had already made his mind up about who would win the national championship when he wrote a column titled ?Ohio State unparralled on the field.? The column went on to say that Ohio State would definitely be in the championship game against a ?10-point underdog to be named later.?
Well as it turned out, that was the case. But Florida was only an underdog because of all the power ESPN wields in the sports world.
In fact, today Forde wrote another column, comparing the Florida win the one of the greatest underdog performances in a national championship contest since Villanova beat Georgetown in 1985.
I guess Forde forgot about underdog Alabama railing overrated Miami in 1992. Since admitting that would have just gone to show that the SEC always embarrasses these great teams when a national championship is on the line.
Since 1992, every SEC team except Florida who has been to the national championship has walked away with the trophy. Alabama deflated the high spirits of Miami in ?92, Florida got blown out by Nebraska in ?95 but then returned and drilled Florida State 52-20 in ?96, Tennessee got by Florida State in ?98, LSU cruised by Oklahoma in 2003, and now Florida destroys Ohio State.
So, since 1990, SEC teams are 5-1 in the championship game.
Because the conference is so strong, the teams beat up on each other to the point where hardly anyone escapes without a loss. This means no SEC team in the championship, which means that ESPN has to hype inferior teams so that people will actually watch the title game.
Its been going on for years and it just makes me sick. The only solution I see is to automatically have the winner of the SEC in the national championship game every year. Kind of makes you wonder about how well Florida would have done in ?93 and ?94 or whether Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Georgia, or Auburn would have beaten Florida State, Oklahoma, Miami, Ohio State, or USC, respectively.
The SEC wouldn?t have won all of those games, but with a 5-1 record over the past 15 years, I bet it would have been interesting.
ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!! MY TEAM IS LSU 22 wins against strong competition the last 2 years and a national championship in the last 3!! I dont need any help from others!!
