SEC with a little egg on their face

Georgia is the only SEC team besides Kentucky to sign a contract with Louisville. We play them in 2010 and 2012. I agree with them. With their conference schedule, why should they schedule anyone but nonconference cupcakes? You're going to start seeing the OSU-Texas type games disappear. Its just a by-product of this stupid BCS system.

All this about the "haves (major conferences and ND) and the have nots (everyone else)." Now the "haves" (SEC, Big 10, PAC 10) are trying to give the shaft to other "haves" (Big East). Its all about greed and money. IMHO this is only going to keep getting bigger year in and year out until they have to accept some type of playoff. I think they lucked out this year since Louisville got beat. If U of L had won out, there would have been some major issues to address by the other conferences. Now one of the other schools with 1 loss (probably Florida or TX) will step into the championship. Unfortunately I think its going to take a major act of God for Rutgers to make it into the BCS championship.

To add...how many tough nonconference games is one supposed to have with only one bye week in the season?

with a playoff you'd see even less big scheduled regular season games like ohio state/texas.

Not many big conferences want to play Big East Teams, Notre Dame and Maryland stepped up and scheduled Rutgers, Kudos to them.

WVU and Louisville have now earned the opportunity to play big teams, Rutgers is in the process. Both WVU and UL could have scheduled tougher non-conf games, this is just more BE spin. The 3 teams are good but the BE is so brutal after thm that it was a given they'd go unbeaten except when they played each other.

You just can't go out there and say "we're U of L and WVU, we're good, now schedule us!" It doesn't work like that. U of L has been trying to schedule the best opponents for a few years now, but if no one wants to play you there's not much you can do about it.:rolleyes:

When you are on the bottom you need to be flexible, don't expect a home and home. Go on the road and play big teams first, prove you are worthy and the home and homes will follow.
 
that's not true at all. if rutgers schedules a game at ohio state and OSU barely escapes with a win, they're never going to schedule them again.
 
There Are 3 Big Big East Teams West Va. , Louisville,

And Now Rutgers... The Sec Has Been A Powerhouse Forever And

Still Is Lsu , Auburn And Florida Will Be There Till The End..
 
Many of the SEC schools look to play one big out of conference each year and swap it up, often the home and home deal.

Most of the SEC schools try and sign traditional powerhouses, as many of the SEC schools are in the top teams of all time. Examples have been Notre Dame UT, Bama and Fla. St. next yr (or Penn St. in a few yrs), Auburn and USC a couple yrs ago, UF and Miami (set to come again soon).

Eventually the up and coming teams will get that shot, I just think some of these schools are waiting to see if the programs have longeveity, b/c they are banking on that 1 scheduled game to boost their BCS ranking (should they win).

Think about it, makes some sense.

1) L'ville the past 2 years has offered EVERY SEC school a home-n-home and some schools a 2-1 (2 at your house, 1 in L'ville) every school turned them down!!!
