The UF-UGA game was typical SEC in my eyes. UF up 35-3 with 11 to go and still throwing for the endzone. Very classy.

how is that classy? Isn't the point of the game to win? With a big division game and the way the BCS works, don't big lopsided wins against those rivals make a difference? Should they have just said "eh, 14 points is enough, we'll let you off easy"??

I think it's great they not only destroyed them, but humiliated them. I have no love for UGA fans :D

At 35-3 with 11 minutes to go and the way Florida's defense was playing, there was no need to try for a quick strike TD. Classy would have been to run the ball and try to chew up some time instead of trying to rub UGA's face in it.

Urban Meyer is a prick in that regard. By comparison LSU had the ball on South Carolina's 2 yard line 1st down with 10 seconds left and they took a knee. No way Spurrier would have done that. Meyer is of the same cloth.

It's all about style points unfortunately when you have a strong human element in the voting process. The changes in the BCS a couple of years ago were supposed to change that but it looks like it has made it worse. It's also why Southern Cal continues to stay around after losing to an unranked team.

exactly!

and having an entire team run into the endzone last year after a touchdown was not rubbing it into someones face? payback's a bitch. the only "non classy" part was the timeouts in the last 1 minute, to make UGA stay on the field, rather than ending the game. that was not cool to UGA, but it was getting them back for their classless act last year....

urban would not have done it if it didnt matter "style points" wise. look at the 06 bcs national champ game. we could have easily gone for it at the end, and likely scored again, but instead, we took a knee to run the clock out. there was nothing to get "style points" for, so they didnt do it. the UGA game NEEDED style points, cause we have to win very convincingly to look good enough to the polls to try to make a shot at the championship game....

it was an awesome game to be at, that's for freaking sure! the stadium was divided right in the middle, and at the end, all that was left was the florida half! haha. great trip, that's for sure
 
The BCS is out...wow...Texas Tech leaps to #2. Texas only dropped to 4 so they are still in the hunt. Not sure if TT win warranted dropping Penn St though. I do believe TT has a loss coming, either with Oklahoma St this weekend or at Oklahoma. As I see it Penn St will be the only BCS conference undefeated team at the end of the season. Alabama has a tough one this weekend against LSU nor can Auburn be ruled out as a loss. They will not beat Florida in the SEC CG.

If Texas wins out I see Penn St and Texas...Florida could catch them with a dominating win in the SECCG but only if they play an undefeated or 1 loss Bama team.
 
Alabama is NUMBER 1 for the first time in 28 years

Oh happy day!
Till Saturday...

Tennessee looking even worse than everybody knew they were, I didn't think that was possible. They lose to WYOMING of all people. Wyo is the 2nd worst team in the Mountain West, and they beat the Vols on their home turf.
