coots say they didn't get a BCS game because of their conference, and the only reason we got in was because we play in a weak conference. Correct?

So them not making a BCS game had nothing to do with losing to 2 teams who finished the season unranked?

Quit blaming your conference coots and beat the teams you should beat. Your coot brain logic is just a bunch of chicken chit

Jan 5, 2014, 12:48 PM

if you ask any Coot if they would rather be in the ACC (since its an easier path to a conference championship)they almost all say no. Yet they still argue that its not fair that they are left out because of teams in their own conference going in front of them. So you'd rather be 4th in a conference than having a shot at going to a BCS game? Clowns.

Jan 5, 2014, 12:54 PM

SC didn't go to the BCS bowl because they didn't get done what needed to be done. They didn't win the games they needed to win. Simple as that.

Just like Clemson didn't reach all of its goals this year (BCS bowl wasn't only goal) because they didn't get done what needed to be done. They didn't win the ACC Champ because they didn't take care of business vs FSU. They didn't win the instate rivalry because they didn't get it done on the field.

Pretty simple really.

a chicken brain.

If you beat both unranked teams that you lost to, you go to the SECCG undefeated and likely the #2 team in the country. Beat AU and you're in the national championship game. Lose to AU and you're probably still in a BCS game.

If you beat one of the two unranked teams you lost to, you go to the SECCG, and all you have to do is beat Auburn to be guaranteed a BCS game.

So no matter what the rules are, making a BCS game was in your hands and you didn't cash in. So don't blame the conference or the rules. You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

Sure we could have won the SEC and made a BCS Bowl. Clemson could have won the ACC.

However, the fact remains that both teams lost two games. Clemson got in ahead of USC only because of the conference limit on amount of teams.

But we made a BCS game because we won the rest of our games, including UGA, which helped propel us into the top 3 at one point.

USuCk didn't make the SECCG because you failed to beat either UGA or UT. Plain and simple. So don't blame your conference, blame yourselves. Win either of those games and you have a chance to beat AU for the championship. Win both of those games and you would've been a lock for a BCS game whether or not you beat AU.

Re: So nothing I stated was incorrect?


Jan 5, 2014, 5:06 PM [ in reply to So nothing I stated was incorrect? ]

What I don't see anyone pointing out is that Alabama was an at large selection. You only had one less loss and were BCS eligible. You missed out on the BCS because of Alabama - not Clemson. The rules limiting conference participation were designed to create matchups with a large national interest. An all SEC BCS is a bad product - regardless of how many teams you may con voters into ranking. This is proven by the Alabama / LSU national championship game being the lowest rated championship game of the entire BCS era.

Your proposition that you wouldn't have gone even if you lost to two top ten teams is erroneous. If you had lost to Clemson but beaten Tennesee you almost certainly would have been in the BCS. It is your (USC's) own fault. And it is abundantly clear that Spurrier has emphasized Clemson in a manner that he himself stated was detrimental to winning championships when he arrived at Carolina. He also stated the same thing at Florida when folks complained about losing to FSU - telling them to go live in Georgia if the didnt like it. After being embarrassed by Dabo in 2008 he has decided that championships are all but impossible at South Carolina (pretty much admits that in this interview) and is now trying to save face by focusing solely in Clemson. I'm pretty sure he'll run to retirement as soon as he drops one to Dabo too so he can rest on his rivalry record as a talking point at South Carolina. Pretty sad for a guy who was once considered one of the best ever. He'll still be viewed as a great coach - but more like a Philip Fulmer Citrus Bowl champ type coach than a Nick Saban national championship type coach.

if we would have beaten Tn and lost in the SEC title game we still would not have gotten a BCS over Bama. You went to a BCS because you were the best choice for the ACC other than FSU. Same with the SEC noone can rival Bama and their fan base. It is the same reason Missouri did not go to a BCS even though they were more deserving that USC or Bama. It is what it is you got the at large over Oregon because the Orange Bowls tie in with the ACC and nothing else. It wasnt because you deserved it more.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: We had one division loss and one conference loss


Jan 5, 2014, 5:28 PM

That's not necessarily true. What if you had gone undefeated in the SEC regular season but lost to Clemson and in the SEC championship game. Yes, they could have taken Alabama but you'd have had a much stronger argument at that point. Your only losses would be two probably top 5 teams and you would no longer have the head to head argument against Clemson going. If Alabama would be selected in that case you have only two things to be mad at - the SEC for promoting Alabama above all others and your own fanbase for being so obviously less desirable than Alabama. And for the same reason they would choose Alabama over you, you don't know that they wouldn't have taken Clemson over you anyway, if it were an option. You've been playing football a long time. Long before conference tie-ins Clemson got invited to multiple Orange Bowls, the Sugar Bowl and the Cotton Bowl. There is a reason, beside generally bad football, that South Carolna has never been given an invitation to any of those games.

Jan 5, 2014, 5:31 PM [ in reply to Re: We had one division loss and one conference loss ]

They were different. Yours were both in your division, and against teams that finished unranked.

Ours were out of conference to a top 5 team and in conference to the #1 team in the country.

Just pointing out that our losses and yours were NOT the same.

Without the established rules, I agree that you would probably have been chosen for an at large bid over us. Cry to the BCS...or the SEC...or to BAMA, but don't cry to us.

You want to help us get into the SEC? Then do, and we will happily accept the rules as written (especially now that the BCS is gone).

It will only get worse for you if the new playoff format limits participants to conference champs. SEC! SEC! SEC!

Difference is that we don't attribute our losses to anything other than our own performance, so we get take the opportunity to learn and get better.

GWP, I leave you alone for one minute and you go off the handle? :)

Think about it this way. If Duke beats FSU then Clemson doesn't go to a BCS bowl, and if Bama beats Auburn then we do go to a BCS game. Total flip flop from the actual situation and neither variable has anything to do with anything that either of our teams did, or did not, do.

That being said, I think the silly arguing between the fan bases is getting ridiculous. Heck I think we all could switch sides and make the same arguments for each team because we have all heard them so often. I can play that game, it is just boring and mind numbing.

Let's argue about which team is going to take the next step and really do something big in the world of CFB, since both seem on the verge of doing so.

I think the immediate future is a challenge for both teams. I might give a slight nod to my coots because of the experience at QB. I'm a believer that proven is better than unproven, but you never know if someone like DW is going to come in and be a transforming type player.
The SEC is always very difficult, but there doesn't appear to be a FSU type roadblock in our way like there is for Clemson in the immediate future.

to brag about the conference, and I'm sure they enjoy the extra money, media attention, and recruiting advantage.

This, however, is part of being in the SEC too. Even after the 3 best seasons in schools history they are still behind Bama, LSU, Florida, and Georgia as programs. Probably A&M too.

Lots of dogs fighting for 2 spots.

Totally agree. SEC means if you can win it you are likely playing for it all, but it is a freaking grind to do so.
We are likely to finish our 3rd straight year ranked in the top 10 in the nation, without being better than third in the conference.
It is what it is.

little bit to do with it. We thought you'd thank us for beating up on Girly and Marshall for you. Little did we know you'd still lose UGA. Oops! Wait to beat us by 13 after we give up 6 TO's! Wow! What jugerNOTS on O you guys are! Furman or Citadel may've beat us by 13 with us giving them 6 TO's.
