I'm just tired of Fratty's bloated pompousness. He thinks he is a person that everyone admires and comes to for advise.
ETA: Pretty soon he will be giving advise like McEarpus

I've been televising football for over thirty years, and if there's one thing I've learned it is that anything can happen in any given game.
If you don't believe it, look at all of the upsets during the season.
That's why I don't make predictions.
Anyone who makes a prediction on the basis of which conference is "strongest" is nuts. "Strongest" is a moving target based on a lot of variables.
The BCS "Championship" game this year will pit two teams with the same record -- both of whom were ranked number one and were upset.
I just hope it's a game that lives up to the BCS hype.

Strongest is based on which conference's teams can beat comparable teams in other conferences. As the fan of a team who's rival is an SEC team, I can admit that the SEC is dominant.

If you say so.
I don't think it's that easy.

Don't know what it means, but it must be clever.

Oh, you mean football? That was in 1986 (when we beat another team in FL) http://www.infoplease.com/ipsa/A0747059.html. Though many will still make the argument for a rightful share of the title in 1994 ( http://www.greatsportsrivalries.com/...champions.html).
And FSU's last one was in 1999. So? I posted the link in response to your calling Big 10 football "cupcake". You stop talking nonsense about Big 10 schools "not knowing" football and I'll stop reminding you of FSU losing to PSU in their home state of FL.
Man, and just as you were starting to grow on me the teeniest bit your last couple posts...

FSU hasn't been good since 2001 but we're going to be very good in the near future.

Thanks for the laugh!
You're right - FSU hasn't been good since 2001. I couldn't disagree more, however, with the second half of your statement. FSU won't be good again until Bowden is gone, and I just don't see that happening any time soon. Also (and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this by someone), FSU has such a reputation for putting criminals on the playing field that I'm glad they haven't been doing well. And I'm glad to see so many players kept out of the bowl game for their part in the recent cheating scandal. Maybe this'll make them clean up their act a little.
But, back to the topic of the thread... I'd like to see LSU win the championship game but, like DA said, anything can happen.

I can see how someone who's on the outside looking in would think that, but its just simply not the case.

Ohio State 20
LSU 17
OSU's Chris Wells will have to have at least 20-25 carries, allowing the Buckeyes to control the clock in this game.
(either that or we could get LSU to wear Michigan jerseys, in which case we'd crush em 40-0)
