LSU vs FL

Ohio
Who else here is giving up their saturday night SC visits to watch this game? Or better yet who went to a SC to watch the game. This is probably going to be the most important college football game this season (except for the bowl games)
I would have gone to a SC to watch this but none of the SC around here take watching sports serious except for local sport games. Too much loud music and too crowded on saturday nights for me to enjoy watching at the SC.

The SEC also has the greatest basketball program of all time: Kentucky.
watching it now. i've lived most of my life in ohio, but i did live in florida in the 80s. root for UF xcept when they play buckeyes. lot of good that's done!
don't know how long i'll watch. thought i'd go out and celebrate brett favre's 40th bday for him!
Anyway, he did not believe this, so I went and looked up last season's results for the SEC teams. The above still true. They lost more than they won in games against good teams. These are not the typical teams that they paly outside the SEC. Like uf playing Charleston Southern and Troy this season.
Don't believe it, look it up. Doesn't take that long.
My research included championship games, as they would be by their very nature against good teams.
Now there you go, using those dastardly conservative tricks. Facts and true statistics.
Most wins: UK
Best winning percentage: UK
Most major conference championships: UK
Most major conference tournament championships: UK
Most trips to NCAA tourney: UK
etc.
All records for entire history of the sport.
ESPN commissioned a study to rank the best basketball programs of all time. #1 = UK; not close.
UCLA did have the ultimate dynasty for about a dozen years. But that does not trump the rest of the century+ history of the sport.
I doubt it. BTW, LSU lost...ho-hum...
"The SEC rules football. No question."
I personally think that my alma mater PSU has had a lot rougher time of it since joining the Big 10. I do miss the days gone by when being an independent allowed PSU to pick & choose which "hot" teams to add to their schedule, but I'd stack up a Big 10 schedule against just about any other conference...Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and sometimes Iowa & Northwestern are all pretty solid teams from year to year IMHO.
The SEC...Alabama, FL, GA, & TN can field decent teams as well. I remember losing a heart-breaker to the Tide at PSU one time...ugh...
The Big 12...OU & TX are great teams usually (although I think that OU is over-rated most of the time), but basically nobody else in that conference has a chance of winning much of anything IMO.
The ACC...FL State, GA Tech, & Miami have had some decent teams, but PSU used to completely own MD & VA every time we played them. BC has been out of it for a loooong time as well.
The Pac 10...UC Berkley & USC are worthy teams usually...otherwise that conference is a complete & utter joke IMO.
The Big East...Notre Dame used to be decent. PSU used to destroy Pitt every year at Thanksgiving...lol...I can't repeat the chant that we used to yell in the parking lot beforehand. Cincinnati, Syracuse, and Rutgers are more joke teams.
The MWC & WAC...both complete & total joke conferences IMO.
The thing that really bugs me about the NCAA ranking system is that they don't fully take into account the difficulty of a team's schedule, whether they win a lot of games or not. Winning against a bunch of scrub teams means nothing IMO. Case in point...Boise State is playing a bunch of nobodies this year...just like last year & the year before...ugh...
"Clubber, just look up who has won the most championships. Not close. (And those are 'big games.')"
Without a true playoff system in the NCAA, these kind of stats really mean nothing. Heck, *Princeton & Yale* have won the most championships, and Independents (including Notre Dame, Miami, Army, Pitt, PSU, and Syracuse) have won more championships than the SEC.
Of couse, as a Buckeye fan, I'm rooting for the letdown. Still bitter. ;)
As I recall the Buckeyes got quite a gift a few years ago in a championship game. No need to be bitter, but I agree, I'd enjoy THAT gator "flop"!
The PAC 10 and UCLA have much better stats and traditionally play tougher schedules.
Although UK does well in its league, UCLA has been to the Final Four 18 times versus 13 for UK and they have won it 4 more times. Duke and NC have also gone to the Final Four more often than UK.
Back to the PAC 10 vs SEC, UCLA, Stanford and USC have the most NCAA championships for all sports. In 2008-9, the PAC 10 had 11 championships and the SEC only 4.
Do you have any idea of the gator "flop" I mentioned?
You are correct, but I've not typed flop, only "flop".
I just found out that the Texas/Oklahoma game is on at noon (must be a time zone thing?). Also the fact that the Ohio State football game is an away game so the traffic in Columbus will be lighter than an usual football saturday. I might have time tonight to go out SCing. Too bad tuscl_bro's jackjoint is closed on weekends because that was the club I have been wanting to go to.
