I would be intreested to see what kind of national respect/lack there of the SEC received in 1996 after its champion was so badly beaten in a NC game.
I don't recall a program and its entire conference ever catching so much flak over 1 goddamn game.

Call me a homer, but that 95 Husker squad was the best team I've ever seen, including both of my MNC Gator teams...
I was reduced to starting a cheer "hit her again hit her again - harder, harder!!" whenever Lawrence Philips took the field, but other than that, all I could do is drink and head to Hooters with my brother after the beat down.

Five of the 6 SEC teams are ranked.
None of the 4 Big Ten teams are ranked.
No evidence of bias here.

And the win/loss record of the OOC teams per conference respectively?? C'mon, it ain't all a plot...

I would agree that '95 team was insanely good. Regardless, that loss didn't invalidate anything you did the following year the way it seems to do for us this year.
Anyway, I'm tired of bitching about it. tsuns performance at the end of '06 and to start '07 probably have more to do with the national lack of respect than anything we've done. I still think most people(even SEC fans  ) are smart enough to realize one game does not define a program.

How about the only OOC loss by those four Big Ten teams was Illinois by 6 -
- to #7 Missouri.
The three SEC losses were to Cal, FSU and USF. The highest ranked of those teams is Cal at #24.
The SEC is getting credit for beating ranked teams - but those ranked teams are mostly other SEC teams. That works if the rankings are legit. My argument for these 10 teams is that they are not.
LSU gets credit for beating a ranked 6-3 Fllorida team. OSU gets no credit for beating an unrakned 7-3 MSU, an unranked 7-3 PSU and an unranked 7-3 Wisky (all of whom are 7-2 without those losses to OSU.
There are six teams in the top 25 with three loses. Five of those are from the SEC and the other is the aforementioned Cal
Your move.

The more I look at this it IS a freakin plot.
Purdue has lost three games - #1 OSU, #13 Michigan and 7-3 PSU.
PSU has lost three games - #1 OSU, #13 Michigan and 7-3 Illinois.
Wisky has lost three games - #1 OSU, 7-3 PSU and 7-3 Illinois.
Illinois has lost three games 0 #1 OSU, #7 Missouri, and the only loss by any of these teams to any team that isn't ranked or 7-3 - Iowa. |
