i've been thinking about this recently, but the more i think about it, it seems like this would only prove the conference's strength: that every team in the SEC is good enough to have a shot at another SEC team on any given Saturday (with the exception of ole piss, ldo)
but i can see how the argument could swing the other way, too, about how there's no clear winner, especially in the east.

11 out of 12 teams may end up going to bowls. Sick.

I don't think that's possible, is it? I understand that 11 might be eligible, but there aren't enough bowls.

EDIT: I'm dumb.

At most, I think nine teams could make it.

is it ok for me to know longer be known as a Gator hater, but just a guy who got pretty lucky seeing how things would turn out

MT2R, you'll always be a gator hater in my eyes, but I respect.

I keep hearing this rumor from non LSU fans and then LSU homers tell me its not true.

Theres like a 10% chance. The very few people I knew at AU are gone and Im cheap. I also live ~600 mi away.

Since Bama beat Tenn Ive been thinking that the iron bowl could decide who gets a freeroll in a bowl game. The problem after this weekend is that it now looks like State and UGA can easily beat Bama and Auburn. Im not predicting that it happens, but before this weekend I was pretty confident that Bama and Auburn would win those games.

There was an "incident."

There were NO arrests. Thank you BRPD.

Perrilloux might be in trouble again. Too early to say. Speculation: a suspension.

I never doubted your prediction & I had said 3 losses from the beginning. UGA is a good football team when they don't have their heads up their asses.

Some people are just born morons I guess.

Didn't read that monster of an NCAA thread, looks too big. That UGA game was a bit depressing. All I can keep telling myself is to look foward to next year. Some problems I saw for UF-

-Banged up. yeah, many of our starters were hurt for this game, especially on defense. our DL did not see that push that we first saw in the UK game, a shame because I thought they were really coming together. but as stated, many starters were hurt and yuck.

spikes is still overpersuing. He's fast as hell, but he gets out of position too often and misses some tackles. I think that our LB core will be great next year though after the trio gets more experience.

our DBs. yeah, Wondy got a pick six. He's still not very good though. out of position every time, etc. Don't even get me started on kyle jackson either (our FS), who got pulled for D. Munroe. I can't wait until M. Anderson and M. wright are back to full strength, they will help our DBs immensely. really miss reggie nelson/ryan smith right now.

our offense, obviously tebow's shoulder hampered him. you could see it yesterday when he ran. he ran much more carefully than we are used to seeing, instead of smashmouth right into you. I think that CI is underused, he's so clutch generally (though i saw he dropped a nice one in the third?). Kheston moore also fumbled twice in the first half, definitely a problem he's had in the past.

I think once we get a solid RB we'll be in better shape. our OL got destroyed as well, part of the reason i think was tebow's shoulder.

well...there is always next year. i told myself that i was prepared to lose 3-4 games this year and hopefully no more. i think that the future is very very bright for this team and once they get through their growing pains, we will have a championship caliber D.

Let this whole thing be a lesson that when you assume, you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me."

It appears that Ryan was the victim of an assault.

Orange, pretty accurate but I thought the RB spot did well outside of Moore. Harvin & James were very effective. Obviously we can't wait for Mon Williams to heal up for next year & then Moody to be in the mix along with Chevy Walker.
I think Wondy has been decent considering he just started playing football 2 years ago really. He was in position on that TD & just didn't get his hands up. He's just lacking the experience & mental play for the position.

LB & DL play has been horrific considering how much speed & talent we have. That's what I am most concerned about because obviously every freaking safety we have is horrible except for Major & he is hurt. More disconcerting that the young guys have not cracked the lineup.

We played way too badly to blame the loss to Mississippi State on the officials, but they clearly blew it on what turned out to be a backbreaking play for us.

This play occurred in the 4th quarter with UK driving in its own territory, down by 10, and was ruled a fumble:



The play was reviewed and the call on the field was upheld. Mississippi State scored two plays later to put the game out of reach.

The caption under the picture on the UK Athletics site reads, "Jacob Tamme gets tackled before he fumbles." LOL

BTW, is it just me, or has SEC officiating been pretty awful in general this year?

Bad, but in line with previous years' awfulness. Not as bad as big east crews LDO.

Great win for Georgia. They outplayed and outcoached Florida.

Games like this prove the SEC is the toughest league and makes a case for putting the SEC champ automatically in the BCS championship game.

Edit: The reason I posted this I am curious to how you guys will react to reading this. Was he right? or was he wrong?

I dunno, there is some interesting stuff in the Alligator, UF's student newspaper.

"...not only did the Bulldogs inject life into a dying rivalry by besing their biggest foe for just the third time in 18 years (ed. this phrase is true and repeated 1,000,000 times in the paper today), but they managed to piss off the Gators in a big way."

"Richt wouldn't admit he was advocating and out and out sign of disrespect for the Gators, but that's precisely what he was doing."

"UF linebacker Brandon Spikes dubbed the move 'classless and disrespectful' - which it was, and intentionally so..."

I think the move was maybe questionable from a sportsmanship point of view, Richt clearly didn't "order the team onto the field" but he did open the door. Overall though, I think it was a brilliant piece of coaching. UGA has been flat footed in previous meetings with Richt as the head coach and they have been lackluster vs USC and UT this season where there didn't seem to be any spark to the team. That certainly didn't happen on Sat. and it was nice to see Richt get some emotion going in himself and the team.

A note on the 3/18 thing. I think a lot of UF fans have come to expect to win and aren't used to being on the other side (with good reason). Talk about flags flying, fan taunting etc, I have endured 15/18 years so I'd just say get over it.

For Orange and others looking forward to next year - it will be a hell of a game. Don't forget, UGA is actually a younger team than UF (defensively, 3 true freshmen on the O line, stafford is a soph like tebow and moreno is a freshmen). The next 3 years are gonna be awesome!

I like the idea, but hate the execution. I don't know why it couldn't have been just as effective to have a huge celebration on their sideline that didn't cost 22.5 yards of field position. I think the motivation would have came across just fine. Pick up a 5 yard delay of game due to celebrating on the sideline for too long....I think they gave up too much.

Personally I think the idea that celebrating a 1Q TD "lighting a fire" and "leading UGA to the win" is ridiculously asinine. I guess if UF wins, Richt is a moron for giving UF 1/4th of the field on the next possession. There are plenty of reasons why UGA won the game, and none of them are "team celebrating a TD on the field".

It's a really bad idea because there is just so much for potential a fight breaking out especially in such a rivalry game. I also think it sends a very mixed message to his team because later in the game, they got called for another penalty for doing the chomp, yet continued to do it all game and could easily have been called for it. In fact, UF & UGA players were ON the field at different points during timeouts barking across the field & could have been easily called a penalty both ways. It seems like the refs decided they had called enough for 1 game. Also, I think you set a really bad precedent for future games if you have to do that to motivate your team in a huge rivalry game. It could easily backfire on them the rest of the season & if they lose to Auburn & KY, even this "gigantic" win will be for nothing.

Other than that, the consequences of penalties & such are fair & were costly and could have been even more so. His mock apology today didn't do anything for me though.

The game had stopped being a rivalry for UF until UGA rushed the field. Overall, I liked it if only for the fact that Richt got his game on.

Two come to mind:

Arkansas 38
Bama 41

Auburn 9
Arkansas 7

You forgot

UGA/Bama

and Auburn/LSU (not last play but 2nd to last)

and SCar/Tenn
