My argument still stands. Not as hard for a PAC 12 team to make a BCS game as compared to an LSU team. Parity has nothing to do with it. The six SEC teams in the top 10 of BCS are all beating each other. And only two can go to a BCS game.


In general the PAC-12 beats up on themselves far more than the SEC does. None of the bottom 8 teams in the SEC beat any of the top 6 teams. In the PAC-12 you have Washington beating Stanford, beating Oregon, beating Washington. Cal inexplicably beating UCLA. USC beating Arizona State, who beats Arizona, who beats USC. Washington State beating Washington.

Of course, you can say that this is because the PAC-12 is just bad, but that's a pretty simplistic approach. Oregon and Stanford have proven to be good teams on the national level and the conference as a whole has some good OOC wins over teams like Nebraska and Okie State.

The SEC has a sharp division between top and bottom lately, which inflates records. Not that the top SEC teams aren't good, because they are, but going 10-2 when you play 8 or 9 badly over-matched teams doesn't prove it.

This is probably the dumbest statement ever.

If a bad season is one where your team is 10-2, then I say you have a great problem.

Saban is not stealing shite. FACT, as yall like to say, some student athletes just want to go play somewhere else. See Sam Montgomery for example.

The coaches know a lot more about this than anyone on this board. FACT.

He's over-stating his case a little, but no one is going to fondly reminisce about that year we went 10-2 and played in the Peach Bowl, or whatever, especially if a team from our division wins it all.

Tiger4ever- it is funny how they won't even listen to the coach that they think hung the moon. He was right and they prove it every game.

Marlinman - I will say this to you. You want it changed, put up the money and change it big boy. You seem to be perfect so you must be a gagillionare, buy out the coaches you don't want and hire the ones you do want. TAF listens to the ones with money, so take yours and run the show.

If not STFU and enjoy something in life.

Yep. Luckily he's shown he can do that.

I didn't see it that way. I don't believe unmet expectations are the same as bad season. It was a good season, just not great.

Lacour and Roger - I recognize you two as usually reasonable posters so I'l direct these to you: what teams would you take over the Tigers lock, stock and barrel? From the coaches to the players to the water boy? Only thing that would be kept the uniforms and the stadium.

He's making personal attacks at people for being glad that we've got a 10-2 season.


Win everything or the season's a failure. That's what I got out of it.

That or he's trolling everyone on the rant hard.

Then what is the issue? Would a 10-2 season be unacceptable at any other college program to where a coaching change would be necessary?
