Is it against NCAA rules to practice (like basketball already does) against other teams in football.

With the PAC 12 potent offense and a SEC closing defense, it would be cool during the summer if, say 'Bama and Oregon could do a mini-camp for two weeks and find a few ideas.

On the other hand, maybe everything can be done on tape.

Oregon, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State all lose.
Looks like the "rematch" is all but in the bag now. The only way that this won't happen is if Auburn beats Alabama next week.

I dont think Bama is going to be in the Title game. OKst can still make it if they finish off their season with W's. And if not them, then VT will be in it, if they win out.

It could possibly be the year a non aq makes it

HO-LEE-SHIT! USC was killing me in that second half. What the hell happened to our defense? We barely squeaked by, but a win is a win. It feels good to be a spoiler.

Our defense got tired. But they did play very well for the most part of the game. Actually, we played pretty damn well on all phases of the games.

The offense took off fast and gave the defense a huge cushion to work with. The Ducks rally was expected from the beginning. They always explode in the second half.

Anyway, it's great to see Barkley pull off a huge win to cap his career. I think he should just go to NFL after this season. As much as I want him to come back to lead us to a great season next year, he should take the opportunity and go to NFL. He should be a top-10 pick for sure.

No doubt the D had problems keeping up with the Ducks' tempo in the second half and luckily that cushion was there or it wouldn't have ended well for the Trojans.

While I think Barkley will enter the draft next season, I certainly hope he doesn't. One more season at USC can be beneficial for him, it will give him some more time to perfect his QB skills and leadership qualities. Plus if he stays another season, he has the potential of drafting higher in 2013 (provided he doesn't get hurt or completely bomb on his stats). I guess we'll just have to wait and see what his decision will be.

Sounds like nobody wants to see the best two teams in football play...

Shame... Bc that's what a NC is all about.

And at VT or s 1 loss OSU having a shot over bama....

If LSU and Bama win out.. Nothing will stop them except corruption..

Arkansas is projected to jump OSU by at least one person at the mothership. You'd be looking at an all-SEC top three. Booyah.

No way OSU deserves to go over Alabama now. Loss against the top team versus a 21-point road dog.

Only way we don't get an all SEC final now is that we shock the world against the West winner.

I can only see two ways that there will not be a rematch in the NC game.

#1. Auburn beats Alabama
#2. Georgia beats LSU/Bama (if Arkanansanasas beats LSU, they're up to #2 in the country and Bama to #1)

The other spot would be filled by Stanford or Oklahoma State

edit:
Meant to say not an all SEC match-up

If Arkansas loses next weekend they are out of the BCS picture. They wont allow a rematch between Bama and LSU at all. It was a close game but so was Michigan and OSU in 06. Remember how everyone claimed they were the two best teams by a large margin.

Remember what happened?
The last time that rematch happened was when Florida won in 96. I can say we got lucky for our first two titles but because of us they wont let these rematches happen.

Id also rather see the title game between two teams that havent played each other yet. I wouldnt mind a rematch if there was a tournament system in place but until then the regular season is the tournament for the most part

Big fucking

I don't care if Bama is #2 in rankings at the end of the season, I DO NOT want to watch them play LSU vs Bama in a defensive, shitty fg kicking game again. I want to see NEW BLOOD go up against LSU, and so does everyone else in the country except for Bama fans and the fucking stupid BCS system voters that probably WILL put Bama in the title game for the rematch.

They "won't allow it?" Who says?

OSU/UM was the last game of the season for those two. It wasn't for LSU/Bama. The math supports it this time.


But hey, if this gets everyone to hate the BCS enough to kill it, good. If UGA gets a shitload of fans for just one day, good.

Why would you want to play bama again? They rest after playing Auburn, while LSU has to risk everything against UGA...

Plus if LSU loses in the MNC they would be 1-1 during the season, but bama would have the title..

You know what's better than five national champs from the SEC in five years?

Seven in six years. And three BCS berths.

If they win round 2.. They deserve it.

Better they get a shot then us play a mediocre opponent and me have to hear my entire Alabama family say we played a soft team.

and I have no clue if some of you didn't watch football this Saturday.. But there is no way in hell LSU/ALA don't get a rematch if they win out.. Simply impossible

Yes, it looks like that's going to happen. What I was saying is that I don't want to see that game again. I hate to say it because they both are great teams, but the game was greatly boring.

So if they win round 2, it'll be tied 1-1. LSU will have gone through the tougher schedule, yet bama will be the national champs. It's a lose lose situation for LSU and I don't know why LSU fans want a rematch.

b/c the best two teams will have played for the title... why should we be afraid to play against a team that we are capable of beating? and if they do win, maybe they were better all along.. but thats better then throwing somebody like VT into the fire to get shit on by any of the top 3 SEC teams.
i dont really see there being much of an argument unless bama beats us 9-6 in overtime...

there is also a possibility of a split NC as well if you take a look at cochese's article... it supports your question of the whole 1-1 series witht them.


the only way its a lose lose for LSU is IF we lose...

if we win, we dont have shit to worry about.... so i say bring bama on, and beat them if you want the title...
we've had to win all season to be where we are.. JUST KEEP WINNING.

Hopefully NCAA will eventually put the playoff system to get rid of all these nonsense guessing game and shitting on other teams without really playing directly against them. It 'looks' like LSU and Bama are the best teams in the country right now according to the BCS ranking system, but I can't really say they are actually the legitimate best teams in the country without really playing other conference champions. Sure, some teams lost to its in-conference foes, but maybe those in-conference foes are better than anyone had expected.

the last 5 straight national championships belonging to the SEC should've put that argument to rest already.

and when i referred to VT getting shat on in the NC scenario.. it was not without body..

VT lost one game this year... and they lost it to the ONLY team they played that would be considered of high quality.. they also had several close games against teams who were jokes.

Blah blah blah every year you spew the same sh-t about how great the SEC is. What we are saying is that we don't want to see a boring ass defensive sleeper settled by field goals. I hope Bama and Arkansas lose so at least my Cardinal or VT have a shot at the NC. It's nice to get some new blood injected into the BCS picture

cursed are the teams that play defense... and if people think these two teams play again to a score of 9-6 you havent watched the rest of their games throughout the season...

they both put up "pac-12" type of scores all season long, against teams with quality defenses....

it just so happened that on november 5th, the stars fell perfect for both defenses on the field for a touchdown shutout... and i was in Tuscaloosa, nothing boring about it... great hard nosed football with big plays on both sides... just didnt cross the goal line
