3-point stance: SEC in new BCS standings
November, 12, 2012
By
Ivan Maisel | ESPN.com1. Two points leap out from the new BCS standings: first, in a four-team
playoff, Alabama would still be in the field despite its loss Saturday.
The Crimson Tide’s penalty for losing would have been minimized further
because there is no home-field advantage at stake. Instead of it being
No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Notre Dame, it would be No. 1 Kansas State vs.
No. 4 Alabama. So maybe every game won’t count under the new system.
2. Second, six SEC teams are ranked from No. 4 through No. 9. That is as much a reflection of the SEC’s lack of balance as anything. Three SEC teams -- Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee -- are winless in league play. Of the six ranked teams, No. 4 Alabama, No. 7 LSU and No. 8 Texas A&M have a victory over a ranked nonconference team. No. 6 Florida and No. 9 South Carolina have ranked nonconference opponents awaiting them. Only No. 5 Georgia will avoid playing a ranked team outside the SEC.
3. All hail signing day 2011. The SEC and the Pac-12 likely will a have redshirt freshmen quarterback -- Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M and Marcus Mariota of Oregon, respectively -- on their all-conference teams. The Big East and the Big Ten likely will have sophomores Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville and Braxton Miller of Ohio State, respectively. The evolution of the high school passing game and 7-on-7 competition must be responsible. Kids arrive at college with skills more highly developed than ever before.

SEC bowl projections: Week 12
November, 11, 2012By Edward Aschoff | ESPN.com
SEC enthusiasts had to have a bittersweet feeling inside when they saw Texas A&M possibly ruin things for the conference. The league was so nice to bring the Aggies in, and this is how they repay it? Still, what a game and what a team Kevin Sumlin has over in College Station. This team should be good for quit some time.
But the SEC won't get shut out of the BCS. It'll likely still send two teams to BCS bowls, which would be two pretty big wins for the conference. Read more...http://espn.go.com/

Nick
Saban should be ashamed of the job he did in the Texas A&M game.
dropping the lost to a lesser football team. Everybody knows what kind
of a rip off the BCS is about Notre Dame EST.. shame on you Nick Saban.
The best team might get shut out because of you?
