PChamp119 96 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Though just one statistic, this is to anyone who still thinks we are #6... Adding up all the votes from every school, I BELIEVE (I may have gotten some teams in the wrong conference by accident), the breakdown is as follows: Conference AP Coaches SEC 4375 4,079 Pac10 3551 3,230 Big12 3379 3,225 ACC 3034 2,930 Big10 2254 2,044 MWEST 1341 1,246 WAC 1084 999 BIGEAST 892 891 MAC 44 142 SUN 0 1 IND 2 1 Interesting...

jaydubb121 22 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Interesting that you have so much time on your hands. Why can't we just let the games be played and knock off the premature whining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't we just let the games be played and knock off the premature whining? 126116[/snapback] Yeah, I'm sure LSU would have been fine with being left out last year, because they could just have won a title this year. Get real. Seasons like this come along rarely, and National Title opportunities (see LSU and Ohio State, or even 90's Florida) are even rarer. With parity, you must view undefeated seasons as a "once in a blue moon" situation. And to be jobbed out of a title shot in our first 11-0 season in 11 years (and first 12-0 season ever) is worth a little hand-wringing. But perhaps I could state is simpler.....The team accomplished something not just good, but monumental. They (and their fans) deserve more of a reward. A #2 final ranking and a whooping of Miami is a good reward. We'd deserve it if we finished 12-1. But 13-0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydubb121 22 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'm just sick of all the whining. It won't change anything, and I believe until Auburn has actually been "screwed" it just looks foolish for people to be offering playoff proposals and all that. If we go 12-0 and don't get the Orange Bowl, there's nothing whining is gonna do to change that. If we go 13-0 and don't get a piece of a MNC, no amount of whining will change that. Respect the season for what it is and quit waiting for others to tell us we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were underestimating how big it is to lose a rare chance like this. You're right, though. Whining won't win us a NC. If it isn't working for UAT, it won't work for us, either.
