You mean "might have been". Unfortunately this game is over and I have a ton of crow to eat.

FLA ususally scores 40+ points per game. Not sure where you are getting your facts. Our D is young and lost the game for us. If our D was even decent we would have easily won.

USC is playing like a top 3 team. About time even though they did play Arizona State rather well.

I've never seen so many bounces go one way. I know what you mean, I have to deal with "Michigan fan" tomorrow who will be so excited that they actually won a bowl game.

The UGA/Hawaii game is starting to get one sided.

That was UM's best win of the season. That was probably the best game they played too.

Georgia's out to make a case that they belonged in the title game.

If they needed a wake up call before this game I imagine the Florida game would have done it..

Yeah, nothing went Illinois way tonight.

Their first mistake was getting off the bus

A few of those bounces go the other way and that could have been a game going into the 4th.

Watching this UGA/Hawaii game makes me wish even more that there was a UGA/USC match up, in my mind they are the two hottest teams right now and also in my mind would have been the matchup of the Bowl Season.

I agree. What a shame.


Illinois and Hawaii might have been a better match up too.

Reason it didn't happen was the BCS didn't want the championship game to be upstaged.

Why are they passing on 4th and goal when they're up 41-10?

Because they wanted to make a big statement that they deserved to play for the NC game. They had an impressive win, but I don't think running up the score helped their case.

Made them look bad if anything. Take the field goal and don't look like your running it up. It's one thing to have your second string play competative and score but don't be doing that stuff.

And you got the worst team in the BCS as your draw, what do you have to be proud about if you beat them?
Considering Hawaii was the only team 12-0 going into the game. And the fact the have a pretty good QB, that was of course until they met a team from the SEC.

I think UGA had a pretty darn good win, but hey I could be wrong.

Atlantic Coast (8) 2-5
Big 12 (8) 4-2
Big East (5) 1-2
Big Ten (8) 3-4
Conference USA (6) 1-4
Independents (FBS) (1) 0-1
Mid-American (3) 0-1
Mountain West (5) 4-1
Pacific-10 (6) 4-2
Southeastern (9) 6-2
Sun Belt (1) 1-0
Western Athletic (4) 1-3

so far, the way I see it the SEC looks pretty good as far as the bowl numbers show.

oh yeah - ROLL TIDE ROLL - we looked like we should have in the 1st quarter, 2nd, 3rd and 4th not so much but a win is a win.

p.s. - Grim if you want to stricly use the numbers then the - SUN BELT is the best confrence in the nation

Safe to say that Florida was OVERRATED.....

Michigan wins with 4 turnovers 3 in the redzone; Yea real Sec superiority in that one

That being said Big Tens not doing anything besides that game

Florida's secondary has been weak all season, I have Fl fans for friends and they even knew they were weak and inexperienced back there. Thing was FL this year was a shootout team that won by scoring a bunch of points and hoping the other team couldn't hold them or match thier point output.

Michigan played a good game and beat a good team.

The thing is you cant say your defense lost you the game when they come up with 4 turnovers; inexperienced or not

I think the minimum for the Bowl Cup is 3 games (at least it used to be), so actually it's the mountain west that has that clinched already.
