Utah/USC amazing finish.
I really don't see anyone coming out of the SEC undefeated, MSU will lose to Alabama or Ole Miss or Georgia in the SEC Championship.
You are probably correct. I like this playoff better than the BCS system but still would rather have a bigger playoff. However there will always be arguments over who received the final spot over some other team. Right now, I see FSU, the Iron Bowl winner, Mississippi State, and either Oregon or Michigan State. However, Mississippi State could fall out as they have the toughest road ahead.There will be at least two, 2 loss teams in the SEC who are worthy of a top 4 spot not get in.
Miss St down 10-7 at the half against Arkansas. Upset brewing in the SEC west perhaps?
This Auburn - Ole Miss game is really good.
Ole Miss got screwed in that game. I hate to see it when an entire group of people,(officials, replay officials, and game announcers) do not demonstrate higher level thinking, and completely miss something.
On the play in which the WR lost the ball at the 1 yard line, appeared to break his leg/ankle, and Auburn recovered in the end zone, the player was down before he fumbled the ball. If I am not mistaken, a part of the body being down aside from the foot and/or hand, constitutes the player being ruled down. In college, the player does not even have to be down by contact, but this part is not in question. What I am questioning is whether or not the players leg or ankle constitutes him being ruled as down. If you watch the replay, the WR's leg or ankle is clearly touching the playing surface as it is possibly broken on the play as well. To me, this would make him officially down just as if the player's forearm or the back of his wrist would make him down. There is clear contact with the playing surface of a body part other than just his foot on that play before the ball is fumbled.
IMHO, that should have been Ole Miss football at the 1 yard line. Strange ruling and an odd circumstance, but I think it would have been the correct one, nonetheless. I wonder if anyone else in the stadium or anyone else watching the game even realized this or if everyone was just caught up in the unusual and difficult circumstance of the play.
I think the ankle is considered to be part of the foot there. I have no problem with the call. Auburn just lucked out.
