re: Do you think a one loss SEC team can get in the title game ahead of

Sucess begets sucess Alabama's rich football tradition puts them on prime time nationwide, a case of out of sight out mind type thing, again put Arkansas in Alabama's postion and they do not get the nod because voters do not see them cross country. Last year the whole country saw the Iron bowl, the game of the century, and Penn State/Bama

So your point that the South vote is what carried Bama is not entirely true.

No where did I type that the southern vote put Bama in, infact my point was the non south will vote Bama, I am not sure the non south will vote Arkansas under the exact same set of circumstances

No one cares about Arkansas they were not the marquee televised CBS game nationwide other than black friday vs LSU....who cares if they are on the ocho with chitty annoucers, or jefferson pilot for that matter,

Alabama's schedule was laughable last season. Nobody except Alabama gets the treatment they did after losing to LSU.

I've said it countless times... If LSU would have lost to Alabama on November 5th, there's no way in hell we'd have gotten a 2nd chance in January, even though the first game was in Tuscaloosa and we played a tougher schedule.

After all, if Alabama would have won, then the better team would have won the game. No big deal. Better luck next year LSU.

But everyone had been raving all season about how this Alabama defense was one of the best of all-time. How Trent Richardson was the best player on the best team in the country. And since 80% of analysts picked Alabama to win on November 5th, they needed to find a way to justify the loss. So all it took was them saying that Alabama outplayed LSU (which is true if you only care about 1st quarters). That Alabama is still the better team. That they'd win if they played again (and they did, but that's irrelevant).

Problem solved.

The SEC thing breaks ties only. When 2 teams are equal record wise, the SEC team right now will carry the day, as they should. But to say that a 1 loss SEC team gets in over an undefeated team from a major conference would absolutely destroy the regular season.

It's funny how SEC fans always seem to think that an undeserving school from a weaker conference like the ACC or Big East will go undefeated every year yet it's only happened once since 2002. Even in the weaker BCS conferences, it's extremely difficult to go undefeated. FSU will have a slip-up somewhere along the way. Boise likely will lose some games in the Big East as well.

FSU will under preform as like normal and it wont be an issue.
