		<description>Actually, thast&#039;s 6:  LOL

1)    Your point?

2)    I agree that WVU beat Georgia in the 2006 Sugar Bowl, so technically it was last year but two seasons ago

3)   OK, fair enough

4)  my apologies.  I forgot about those two teams, you are correct sir.
Illinois and Iowa are both 0-1 wich is included in your Big 11 record

		<description>AZTigerFan,

Couple of things:
1 ) LSU &amp; Georgia are in the BCS this year.
2 ) WVU beat UGA two years ago.
3 ) I miscounted UTs second appearance.  That makes 15 total SEC appearances.
4 ) Iowa and Illinois are still in the Big 10, right?  That&#039;s 7.
5 ) PSU beat UT last year in a bowl game.
6 ) i&#039;m not an OSU fan.</description>

		<description>Griffin,
    Funny that I am compared to Bobby Boucher, yet you can&#039;t even get yopur facts straight.  Let me break it down for ya.  This info was very easy to obatin on the internet sir.  Just go to:
http://www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfb/alltime

SEC BCS appearances:
LSU 3-0
Auburn 1-0
Florida (who ya&#039;ll know well)  3-1
Georgia 1-1
Tennessee 1-1
Bama 1-1

*Combined 7 appearances by LSU and UF, 6-1 record.  Georgia has 2 appearances not 3 and lost to #11 WVU last year 38-35, Georgia was not ranked


Big 11 BCS appearances:
Wisconsin 2-0
PSU 1-1
OSU 4-1
Michigan 1-3
Purdue 0-1
* Combined 11 appearanced by the BuckNuts, Wisconsin and Michigan, 5-4

Let&#039;s see that is 6 SEC Schools out of 12  = .500
and 
5 Big 11 schools out of 11  = .450

One last thing:  Overall BCS winning percentage
SEC  .692 (9-4)
Big 11    .533 (8-7)

To borrow your phrase at OSU&gt;  This is THE Southeastern Conference, the one your BucNuts have never beat in a bowl game.

Your response??????</description>

		<description>AZTigerFan,

I didn&#039;t name the conference.  Though the 11 is in the logo and there is 11 teams, it&#039;s still the Big 10.  Go figure.</description>

		<description>AZTigerFan -

I usually don&#039;t respond to trolls, but

&gt;&gt;...you bowl-winless against the SEC idiots.

BTW, &lt;strong&gt;I do respect&lt;/strong&gt; your football team and do think they are underrated.&lt;&lt;

LOL! Some respect, there.

BTW, if the Big 10 is such a bad conference, how come the SEC always loses to the Big 10 year after year? Last year alone, the Big 10 went 4-1 against the SEC. This year, the team that competed for the SEC title (and almost won it) couldn&#039;t even beat the 7th best team in the Pac 10.

Funny how some folks are talking about sample sizes in the comments section here, yet the SEC fans are using _one victory_ as the stereotypical example of their superiority, when year after year the SEC proves its overall inferiority to every other major conference.

In fact, the only thing the SEC DOES do well year after year is marketing itself.</description>

		<description>BeardGuy,

I think the sample size ( n=9 ) is far to small to try and generate meaningful stats.  You have to eyeball the stats to interpret them.  And to me, seeing more than half the games decided by 11 points or more is telling.

I like your idea for the centralized scheduling, however. 

Don&#039;t get me started on the SEC claims.  if you look back at the BCS bowl representatives that each conference has sent over the past tean years, you&#039;ll see that the SEC is far more top heavy than the Pac-10 or Big 10.  If you look at the numbers, 70% of the teams in the Pac-10 have participated in at least one BCS game.  7 out of 11 Big 10 teams ( 63% ) have participated in at least one BCS game.  Compare both of those percentages to the SEC, where only 6 ( out of 12 ) teams have participated.  Of the 14 appearances by an SEC team, 11 have been by 3 teams ( 4 - LSU 4 - UF 3 - UGA).

Is sure seems like the SEC is worse compared to the Big 10 when it comes to equality and parity.  For all of the SEC &quot;eats its own&quot; talk, there sure seem to be the same teams year after year making it to the BCS.</description>

		<description>Interesting, no really.  I love how you point out that PSU rush defense was better than LSU.  Did you gorget to to mention that PSU also plays in your weak conference and that Gle Dorsey had his KNEE taken out by Auburn virtually making him very much ineffective the rest of the season.  So LSU had the 3rd best defense in the country without thier stud DT not playing healthy, what a bunch of weak players we have...only 3rd best defense, playing in THE Souteastern Conference against real football teams.
So goa ahead and call Les Miles Red and talk about Southern football, you bowl-winless against the SEC idiots.

BTW, I do respect your football team and do think they are underrated.  I do think ya&#039;ll would have beaten Michigan by much more in better weather,  That being said, you&#039;d be in the middle tier of teams (Tenn, Bama, Kentucky) if you played in the SEC. 

Good Luck to your Bucknuts......
and GEAUX Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!

LSU  24-20</description>
