I dunno why, but I just can't get into the "big" rivalry of Alabama/Auburn

 

It's not because I'm not a big SEC guy, since I can get into other rivalries from there (e.g. Tenn/Florida), but I just don't feel this one at all

People are making a bigger deal out of it this year b/c of the BCS implications. Last year they didn't make near the deal.

I'm not just talking about the recent history of the rivalry. Alabama/Auburn is always mentioned as one of the top rivalries in all of college football (usually with Michigan/OSU and OU/Nebraska) and as I said, I just don't feel it

O well Michigan lost

Losing to our biggest rival is hardly an "oh well" loss, IMO

 

Though a trip to the Rose Bowl anyway (come on Iowa) would soothe the pain enough

The Michigan loss really ruined the night for the BCS. In a game that if Michigan wins, the voters may have jumped the Wolverines over Utah and knocked Utah out of the hunt.

 

Now IF Utah wins, the BCS has no choice but to include them in the selection process. Course, they can still leave them out for Texas, which I still 100% expect them to do anyway.

As long as Utah is in the Top 6 they are automatically in the BCS. There was little chance of Michigan making up the ground even if they won today. As long as Utah doesn't completely lay an egg today, they are going to the Fiesta Bowl.

 

Kyle Orton threw for 522 yards today and six touchdowns against Indiana. He had 401 yards passing the first half.

Yeah I think Orton wanted to get himself back into the Heisman hunt.

It'll still help them because Alabama is a much better team than Baylor is.

Tennessee and Georgia are better than any of those teams. LSU as well. And Alabama is on the same level as the current A&M team.

Pennington has his moments of brilliance. It's just after sucking the meat missle the other 90% of the game.

If Alabama had a competent coach they'd probably be winning this game.

 

A good quarterback wouldn't hurt. Pennington is just horrid.

He's not improving. That's the coaching staffs fault. Either Pennington shouldn't start, or they aren't getting the best out of him.

Two touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight games doesn't fill me with hope.

Sorry I meant 95% of the game. I'd blame the coaching staff for his overall suckiness. They either aren't running the offense to his strengths or not coaching the guy.

These announcers are enough to make me sick. They sound like they're going to jump out of their seats and celebrate everytime Auburn scores. And they sounded like someone had killed there dogs during the first half when Alabama was dominating.

Assuming Iowa holds on here's how the Big Ten bowl bids will probably go and who they will likely play as things stand at the moment:

 

Rose: Michigan vs. California

Capital One: Iowa vs. Tennessee

Outback: Wisconsin vs. Georgia

Alamo: Ohio State vs. Oklahoma State

Sun: Purdue vs. UCLA

Music City: Northwestern vs. South Carolina

Motor City: Minnesota vs. Miami of Ohio

It's called SEC commentators cheering for the greater good of the conference and having a member of the conference potentially play for the national title.
