Don Richard Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Auburn is now the BCS national champion, making this five in a row for the Super Excellent Conference. Oregon was impressive, a very fast team. LSU opens with Oregon next year, with the Mad Hatter Les Miles returning to LSU as coach. This one should be like a Bowl game in September. Congrats to Auburn, go SEC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCliff Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Great game enjoyed watching it, I too was pulling for Auburn. You are correct though that Oregon team could fly and some really gutsy calls by their coach. Now back to pro football for a few more weeks.

oldtimer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yawn. The big story is Texas Christian wins the Rose Bowl! And everyone knows it. How 'bout those Horned Frogs! What did the sec do in bowl games this season? 5-5? [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Auburn did beat 5 top 10 teams this year IIRC. So all TCU has to do is beat 5 top 10 teams next year for a championship chance. No wait, first they much SCHEDULE 5 top 10 teams. It is these weaker schedules that hurt the non auto qualifiers though, no doubt about it. Nick Fairley, what a beast. Literally OWNED the Oregon offense. Chip Kelley called him the best player in college football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Oh well I guess the wink smilie doesn't register these days. TCU did beat two teams in the top 5 this season (more than Oregon can say), and also some top 25 teams. I don't begrudge Auburn their no 1 ranking and I am not disappointed with TCU's no 2. Congrats to Auburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I still want a playoff system somehow or at least a +1 which would have TCU vs. Auburn this weekend. How bout that idea? Horned Frogs had a great year. No doubt about that and my hat's off to em too! Will there be many returning starters next year? With Fairley going and probably Cam too (+ many other great players) I suspect Auburn will be out of the top rankings for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Likewise, this was TCU's year. Probably close to half the team was seniors, and unlike many schools, most of them will graduate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other sport in Division I has a playoff, but big business and sponsors of bowls are keeping that from happening. There is way more then enough time to do it, at least a 10 to 6 team playoff, with maybe a bye for the #1 and #2 teams. Just like everything else in this country, BIG CORPORATIONS run us and everything else, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that was full ride back then but they were certainly poor compared to their status today.[]Hey i'm a true hog fan (and SEC); but after seeing TCU's campus and what they have built with Patterson; I respect them & wish them well in the Big East.
