Does Texas have a LAX team?

So, how long will TCU have to wander in the wasteland

and BCS conferenced up but not good enough to get back to the show?

by whills on Jan 10, 2011 11:15 PM CST reply actions  

That's the given. How long? How long for Utah, soon to be eligible as well?

4-6 years – losses from this year’s class and re-building; it took Auburn six years. Utah isn’t there yet, but will be eligible. TCU will lose a good class and QB, must reload/rebuild and adjust to the BE to some degree.

by whills on Jan 10, 2011 11:25 PM CST up reply actions  

Oh no I meant the Big East is terrible

and will be treated like a mid-major conference when it comes to TCU. They still will not get in over an SEC/Pac-10/Big Ten/Big XII team.

by goingforthecorner on Jan 10, 2011 11:28 PM CST up reply actions  

I think they will

I mean, they’d have a tough time beating out two undefeated teams from the other AQ conferences, but I think an undefeated TCU would get the bid over a one-loss team in 2011. There are circumstances that leave some grey area, though.

Just Harsin around.

Question for discussion

If this season played out identically, with TCU ranked ahead of Oregon and Auburn in the preseason, but TCU ran the table against a Big East schedule, would they have played for the championship tonight?

For one day only, We Are All Ducks. Except TXStampede. And goingforthecorner. And CoachEtch.

by Hopkins Horn on Jan 10, 2011 11:30 PM CST up reply actions  

Didn't read this until I asked the question above.

However, asking about this year is moot and merely speculation whereas we have a setting up situation next year and from then on. Utah would certainly have a better edge coming out of the Pac10. They really got the deal.

by whills on Jan 10, 2011 11:38 PM CST up reply actions  

Okay whatever the shit is around Newton, as a player he is truly a game-changer

I respect this Auburn team begrudgingly. Objectively, they took this game, and Oregon was not the better team.

by owenh on Jan 10, 2011 11:16 PM CST reply actions  

The fact that the last 5 have been won by the SEC

Honestly makes me sick. However, I’m very glad that Coach Chizik got a crystal ball to call his own. I fear that it will be stripped from his fingers in the very near future, though.

Well at least Bama got +1'd by their little brother

only silver lining to me. Imagine if right after we win a NC, A&M somehow wins the next year…I imagine that’s how Alabama must feel

yeah

I’m kind of pleased the folks in Tuscaloosa will have to listen to this all off-season.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 10, 2011 11:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Alabama/Auburn is what you call a true rivalry

Bama fans must be feeling absolutely miserable right now. Totally blew a 24-0 lead that could’ve been 31-0 if Ingram didn’t fumble the ball.

Congrats to Auburn for winning the 2011 title. And congrats in advance to Oregon for winning it retroactively in 2013.

the combination of the 2004 snub + a vacated title

But personally I don’t think this will happen, nor do I necessarily want it to happen. They won it on the field

yea accurate for most games (with a few exceptions like Stanford-VT)

the computers run thousands of simulations based on game performance history and i’m guessing also account for height & weight dimensions of each & every player

by SchruteFarm on Jan 10, 2011 11:39 PM CST up reply actions  

Auburn ran 87 plays; Oregon 76. 520 and 455 on the total yards respectively.

One, that’s a lot of plays…average is down around 72 or so, although Oregon averaged 80 this year. Wonder if there is a trend there with the full-time hurry-up style.

Two, for 975 yards total, scoring only 41 total points (39 offensive), is almost an outlier.

by whills on Jan 10, 2011 11:31 PM CST reply actions  

Total statistical outlier, this game

Those goal line stands and turnovers do add up, don’t they?

Whatever you are, be a good one.

by beast in bama on Jan 10, 2011 11:42 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, bend-not-break defense worked well.

For teams without a top 10 defense (I think a first for a BCS game), they actually did well on the scoring end. Of course, TOs are killers.

by whills on Jan 10, 2011 11:57 PM CST up reply actions  

Is it me or did nobody on Auburn seem happy?

Biggest smile was on Darron Thomas’ face. Why is that? Anyone think it’s cause Auburn knows they will have to forfeit it all in a couple of months?

I kid, I kid.

Still weird that they didn’t seem too happy.

by hoogs on Jan 10, 2011 11:35 PM CST reply actions  

You kid, but you are right

It is in their DNA:
1957 – undefeated, split (UPI) NC while on probation
1993 – undefeated, would have won SEC, but on probation
2004 – undefeated, weren’t ranked high enough in early polls to overcome OU & USC
2010 – undefeated, Cam Newton scandal

When you’re Auburn, when something goes right, it always goes wrong.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

You missed Stoops in 2000 (second season)

but yes, I’ve noticed this trend as well. Its like being a pop star, you get a couple of good years and then you hang around awkwardly.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 10, 2011 11:39 PM CST up reply actions  

You take over a team loaded with talent

or immediately can recruit it.

Look at the normal talent levels of those teams – always good to supremely great – so do the roll call.

Stoops took over what was a talented team but who could not execute, just error prone bumblers under Blake. He didn’t even have to change the offense that much. He just fine tuned the machine. In so many of these places that was the case. Chizik had to come up with more talent and then someone to run the machine. Carrol sold Hollywood and celebrity, homes of the gods and goddesses of our culture. Miles just had to choose which gumbo in which to put his filet.

We’re gonna fine tune our machine next year, with some shiny modifications. You heard the bait today…if you run the play well in practice, you do in the game. Anyone gets a chance. That opened a big door and healed a lot of wounds quickly.

Curious observation:

Malzahn runs this Auburn team. Kind of disconcerting if you are Gene Chizik. But I guess he’s thinking, Fuck it I got a crystal ball

Chizik learned from Mack

This is why I favor Oregon over Auburn right now

Kelly is building something big in Eugene, but when Auburn loses Malzahn and Newton, they will go back to being second-tier in the SEC.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 10, 2011 11:45 PM CST up reply actions  

Auburn has peaked and there's not much in the tank for 2011

Newton is gone to the draft, someone will take him 1st round. Malzahn has maybe one year left.

Oregon is a system and is going to be a top 5 team next year.

by owenh on Jan 10, 2011 11:47 PM CST up reply actions  

I guess I'm not entirely sold on Chizik without Malzahn

whom I assume will take a HC position of his own shortly.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 10, 2011 11:49 PM CST up reply actions  

You don't have to be.

There’s no guarantee Chizik will stay. But once you’ve made the mark, you can draw talented people to you. Plus, chances are Mahzahn’s system, at least some great operating part of it, will remain.

I don’t put much stock in so more celebrity…there’s a lot of talented people out there just waiting for opportunity. Malzahn was just one of them.

by whills on Jan 10, 2011 11:52 PM CST up reply actions  

Where do you think Chizik would go?

I think he stays at Auburn for the foreseeable future, unless one of the following things happens:

1. Miles leaves, and LSU throws Chizik huge money. Least likely.
2. Texas decides to try to replace a retired Mack by bringing back Chizik as HC. Also highly unlikely, IMO, because I really doubt the powers-that-be will look kindly on Chizik’s history of NCAA violations and antics.
3. Muschamp leaves Florida relatively quickly, and Chizik gets the job at his alma mater.
4. Chizik proves ineffective without Malzahn and Newton, guiding the program into the West cellar for several years, and is subsequently fired.

Just Harsin around.

Okay I've vented enough. Auburn deserved this game, they played well.

Not thrilled, but Auburn is a Champion I can live with. And even more so, at least CFB has a variety of winners. Hope lives on.

That's awesome.

I was for Oregon, but personally I don’t understand the SEC hate. I guarantee if Texas, OU, and Nebraska combined for 5 consecutive NC’s, we’d be arrogant as a league as well. The SEC has earned its accolades by consistently playing the best football in the land.

However, just because the conference is better doesn’t mean Texas as an individual program can’t hold its own with any individual SEC program.

by BrooklynHorn on Jan 11, 2011 12:03 AM CST up reply actions  

I think it's more the constant set of memes from the fans that irks people

There have been some ridiculous statements, like that the SEC champion should automatically get to play in the BCS championship each year, that such-and-such undefeated team in another conference wouldn’t be able to compete in the SEC (heard this about Texas in 2005-2006), etc.

Just Harsin around.

When I was a little kid

We lived next door to Billy Atkins, the fullback on that ’57 team. At the time (late 60s-early 70s) “Mr. Billy” was the head coach at Troy State University (NAIA national champs in ’69!). His daughter was my best friend, and his wife, “Miss Doris,” was gorgeous, a former Auburn cheerleader.

Their son, Ace, played on the Auburn team that went undefeated in 1993, but due to probation couldn’t play in a bowl game. Unfortunately, Mr. Billy passed away about 15 years ago. Ace is a novelist and professor of English at Ole Miss.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Good job ESPN bringing on Saban and Meyer

very insightful discussion regarding the weakness of the spread offense in certain situations, such as being pinned at your 1. Also, great observation by Meyer in noting the extra TV timeouts giving the defenses additional energy against the hurry-up spread attack.
