The SEC got their asses crushed in the previous two bowl seasons for New Year's 6 type bowl games and SEC fans couldn't stand it. This year Bama plays for the title again and they act like all 14 SEC teams are Bama again. It is pure stupidity.
Ole Miss got obliterated last year against TCU in their bowl game so they came ready to play this year so they would avoid getting embarrassed again.
The B1G finished the bowl season with a 2-1 record against the Pac 12. You don't see me bragging about that. Three out of the four B1G power brands have won their bowl games so far and PSU plays today. You don't see me bragging about it.
When you have nothing going on in life in the south besides eating fried food and cheering for other teams better than your own, that is what leads to this level of stupidity.
Alright, I told you yesterday I was just giving you and the other Big 10 fan boys, who spent a whole year crowing over Ohio State, that you were getting a one day of payback. I took down my sig today touting the score of the opponents of the Big 10 divisions champs bowl losses yesterday. If you are going to keep this crap up I'm going to make it absolutely miserable for you this year. Your divisional champs got annihilated yesterday. The point of my posts yesterday was to illustrate exactly this kind of garbage that you and a couple of others have dwelt on. So we can play this game and make life miserable or get on to better things. It's your choice!
The sad part is that you have posted on other sites as a supporter of other teams not in the Big 10. The real Big 10 fans around here like Dexter Devil, Ohio 1317, and Sea Blue are given a severe disservice by posts like these.

A lot of super bowls are blowouts the team trailing sometimes panics sometimes gives up uncharacteristically.
Still a good time to be a football fan.
ESPN has turned it into a competition between conferences.
Fans are put into the strange position of pulling for their rivals.
SEC fans are the best at this because the South is so regional.
Hating Yankees and any thing North.is expected.
Despite the fact so many have ties to both regions.
Hating the Big Ten is a perfect example almost all of the conference was not involved in the civil war.
But their Northern so their damn Yankees even if their Midwesterners and not Yankees.
With the exception of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and now New Jersey you are correct. But in the last few years of the war most of the Union forces were Irish conscripts fresh off the boat. So maybe we should hate Notre Dame as well! But wait, most of us do!
Seriously, ESPN has pushed it to gin up must watch contests that energize the two largest and most active fan bases in the nation. My family is from the South but I spent a goodly number of years in Canada and Michigan. I pulled for Sparty back then. Duffy was great and the contests with Notre Dame epic. But now the marketing ploy is national audience so animosity, or envy have to be ginned up.
I am damn proud of both parts of this statement.
Also, after 32+ years in Louisiana, I am still an unrepentant Yankee.

RE: Do these boards put too much stock into the bowl games?
The board isn't as bad as the polls. Ohio St. will be ranked well ahead of Michigan St. because they looked better in the bowl, ignoring the head to head and the fact that Ohio St. didn't have to play Alabama.
RE: Do these boards put too much stock into the bowl games?
College football will never be right until we have a true D1 playoff. All P5 and G5 conference champions have to be included and the 6 best teams that are not P5 and G5 conference champions.

Zero northern football pain my way. I prefer the SEC to the B1G because it's an overall better product and funner to watch.

If that's what you live for this time of the year, so-be-it.... I personally don't care. I want to see my Pitt boyz do good (which they don't lol) and just watch football and then head out and enjoy some drinks.
RE: Do these boards put too much stock into the bowl games?
PSU lost 5 games and doesn't even have a full roster of D1 level scholarship level talent.
I know you want to SEC masturbate like usual. UGA has talent. They were the idiots that fired a regular 10 win season coach that recruits regular top 10 recruiting classes.
