if usc and a team from the SEC and Big 12 go undefeated who should be left out?

i think the most likely team from the sec to go undefeated will be florida. i think the most likely team to go undefeated is OU. i also think SC is the most dominant team in college. that being said, i dont think florida will go undefeated. and as a former OU student i am sad to say, if OU and SC are playing in the big game come january i will have to unload my bankroll on socal in a heartbeat no matter what the line.... as for the original question, although i think sc is the best team, if a team from the big 12 and a team from the sec go undefeated you cant deny them the national championship game, that would be just wrong given the difficulty of their schedules. this is why we need a playoff or the more likely option of a plus one game. 

no need to debate, i already said thats what we need to do haha

  The thing is, im not sure on a yearly basis that they would lose 2-3 games even in the sec. Your right they dont play some of those tough conference games, so in college footballs system maybe they should be left out compared to an undefeated big 12 or sec. However usc seems to win alot of those big games. Just some scores that come to mind of the years, I believe 55-14 title game over oklahoma, 38-14 rose bowl over a very good michigan team, 24-0 over auburn, beat a decent notre dame team once or twice(hold off the jokes on that one, i know). So i terms of this question if your just basing the schedule on it, yeah the sec and big 12 deserve it. But usc could plug right in and beat down those team. No doubt in my mind usc could have beaten lsu in last years title game or that they can go beat fla or georgia tommrow.

USC will not move out of that #1 RAnking all year unless they lose.  SO in the end, it doesnt really matter.  In actuality if say OU and UGA both go undefeated, that could be really bad for CFB because, USC wills till hold the #1 AP Ranking....and then we have a split title again....


im not saying, im just saying...

WRONG!

Ok and if Florida plays a 1-loss LSU, whose only loss is @ Florida, in the SEC Championship, then you don't think Florida will go? If you say no, go outside and shoot yourself (don't want to bleed and ruin some good carpet).

Worst post in history. Where have you been the past 2 years? The Big 10 is terrible!

 

 

I agree with what your saying about USC.  They do win big games.  However, they also lose games they should win (i.e. Stanford '07, UCLA '06).  They also lost to Texas in the NC title game with TWO Heismann trophy winners. 

If this team played in the SEC, they would definitely lose two games a year, on average, that is!  Think about how many quarters these starters play now as opposed to the minutes they would get in the SEC.  When your throwing your body around for 4 quarters trying to grind out a win, (week in, week out) you sustain many more injuries than you do in a 52-10 beat down.

There is no doubt that USC has the most talent in the country though.  Its absurd. 

 

First of all...Auburn is terrible, they dont belong in the top 25...and for the big 12 it should be the conference of no defense...none of those teams would have a chance against usc...imo the best nc game would be usc and florida although i do want to see usc and georgia but i just dont see them running the table...and anyone who says usc wouldnt be at the top of the sec is a fool...at worst they would be a 2 loss team!

I believe USC is the #1 team in the country this year, at this time. Even the best teams do not win every game, and fortunately for USC, they play in the PAC 10, where no one can even hold their straps.

Oklahoma lost back-to-back championship games, in 03 to LSU w/ a Heisman QB & in 04 to USC in a blowout, and they lost the last few bowl games also. I do not want to see them go up against USC, again. I'm sorry, but if this team falls behind against USC early, they will NOT comeback, and a blowout is certain. We football fans deserve a better game to watch. Not another Ohio ST scenario.

If Missouri can go undefeated and win the Big 12, and beat Oklahoma, they deserve to be in the big game. If they have even one loss, then they don't belong, because no one on their schedule can beat USC, and they will probably get stomp too.

Undefeated SEC>Undefeated Big 12, at least in this decade.

In the last two years, the SEC have won the crystal ball. There is no doubt, that they deserve to be in the big game, and that's what the people deserve to see. There are USC fans and SEC fans, who want to see how USC will fare against the #1 team from the #1 conference, the SEC. And almost every year, we miss this matchup, thanks to stupid poll voters. Currently, the list shows Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and the darkhorse LSU, to contend for the National Championship. Take your pick.

There is no doubt in my mind, that USC can play with the SEC teams. But for them to finish #1 or #2 in the SEC, or even ranked in the top 5 every year, playing in this conference, dream on. This isn't the PAC 10 or Big 10, teams actually get tested and have to earned their rankings down here.

USC will have to contend against at least 4 legit rank teams, who will probably be ranked at the end of the year also, and they have to win the SEC championship game, before they can even think about playing for the National Championship.

I'm actually tired of seeing USC ranked in the top 5 every year, automatically. Before they even step onto the field, they're ranked #1. They have had more freebies handed to them then anyone else, along with Ohio St. Let's make these teams earn the right to play for the crystal ball. Playoffs

USC should play in the championship game, but they don't deserve to, because the path they have to take, is less difficult then the Big 12 or SEC. However, I want to see a good game, and there's no one else I rather see, then the "Men of Troy" against the best team, from the best conference.

USC vs SEC, let's make this happen, you freaking voters

This is one of the things that I dont like about college football ...everything is so objective. You have opinions putting teams in championship games instead of letting them earn their way to the title game.  I would also like to know why teams are even ranked before they have even played a game? What have they proved? Absolutely nothing. You cant even judge a team that well at this point. Basically everyone is pencilling USC into the title game at the end of September because they whopped up on a horrific Virginia team that is an underdog to Duke and an Ohio st team that may have trouble making it thru the big ten. We still have 2 months to go, people...alot can happen between now and then.

I also like how so many people use past instances of poor performances by some teams to justify why certain teams should or shouldn't be left out of championship games. Those games are pretty much irrelevant as to how a different team will perform in a different year against a different opponent. I am no Oklahoma fan by any means but to say that they should be excluded from the title game after an undefeated season just because they havent played well in recent bowl games is ridiculous. From what I have seen so far, I would have to say that the Big 12 is right there with the SEC. Putting a 1-loss SEC champ in over and undefeated Big 12 champ is a questionable decision at best and that is all the more reason for some sort of playoff system.

By the way this is all hypothetical and all of these teams still have to win the games on their schedule in the next 2+ months so lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

 Can I buy some pot from you?
