There are 3 things I am pretty sure of:

(1) JPW lived down to all of the expectations anyone ever had of him. He was a “manager” – not a QB. He’s the offensive version of a “prevent defense.” It never works. He had the best wide receiver in the SEC and still couldn’t win. (Hey Julio – want to transfer?)

(2) Defenses really do win championships.

(3) I would HATE being a returning player at Alabama next spring.

Hey Steve-O – That’s why the play the games. Bama got rammerjammered by the Utes! Motivation my arse. If Bama wanted to prove a point, they sure did it tonight. Good teams show up and win. Especially teams that want to claim that their one loss was a fluke. Saban’s bunch got punched in the mouth after hanging out on Bourbon Street all week and didn’t know how to respond.

As for TCU, we held every team on our schedule to their lowest point totals of the year (Wyoming was the only exception – gave up 7, they got shutout elsewhere). #1 defense in the country – played four teams that were top ten at the time (OU on the road, Utah on the road, BYU @ home, Boise Bowl).

Utah deserves a #1 vote – they beat three or four ranked teams (Bama, TCU, BYU, Oregon St), Michigan at their house (not that it says much this year). What else can you ask of them???? What is OU’s resume in comparison (TCU, Cincy, Tech, loss to Tx)? Florida’s? Cmon!

Going to Baton Rouge was real tough this year – Troy should have won there. Croom? Vandy? Kentucky? Those are better teams than Air Force or Colorado State this year? Unlikely. Hell, the Mountain West’s worst team (Wyoming) went into Tennessee at the end of this year and won. Maybe the fans are greater in number, but that doesn’t mean the product on the field is superior. Certainly not in the case of the Big East, ACC, or Pac-10 this year. Big 10 for that matter, too.

Thanks for leaving us high and dry. And your replacement got hurt early, leaving us to shuffle in a FRESHMAN. Utah would like to thank you also, since half the time they were in JPW’s grill all night, turning our offense into a disaster, since JPW is not Tim Tebow and cannot carry a team to victory…..
Hope you like Detroit and going 0-16 again next year….
Coach Saban would like to thank you and your family rep and the agent for the big ass DISTRACTION, as if being in New Orleans wasnt enough.

Totally forgot about the Big East, but I suppose that’s understandable.

With all of this terrible football, I’m not even sure why I pay attention…

CyberTyde has now launched nuclear hell on Tuscaloosa.

Good job Utes! Looks like somebody followed thru with their quests.

Now we just need tOSU to beat Texas to fuck the year up…ahhhhh, sweet chaos

The Big East sucks because Cinci lost to Virginia Tech, but didn’t suck last year because West Virginia beat Oklahoma.

The Big East sucks because they don’t even get mentioned.

So to summarize, the SEC sucks because Utah beat ‘Bama. The Big 10 sucks because USC beat PSU. The Big 12 sucks because Ole Miss beat Texas Tech. The ACC sucks because LSU beat Georgia Tech. The Pac 10 sucks because of it’s season long record against the MWC. All of the mid-majors are underrated and, if given the chance to play in one of the big six, would run the table, year in, year out.

What am I missing?

Porttrojan, you are right, I did miss the joke and it is actually pretty funny. Thought you were talking about the Gator’s loss this year, not the USC propensity to lose to crappy teams, though I think MSU would be beyond even the ability of USC to lose to.

bacon, @159. I believe port trojan meant mississippi state. I think he was trying to make fun of USC’s recent history of losing to terrible teams, (stanford, osu, ucla) and beating the good teams.

Baconboy,

You didn’t get the joke. Perhaps not being a Pac 10 expert you don’t realize that SC has a habit of losing to shitty teams in conference. Continue taking yourself and your conference too seriously.

Yeah, it’s very unclassy to pull the Matt Leinart “I think we are a better team…” but as it was in the Rose Bowl then, it is often the unfortunate truth.

HOWEVER, I do not believe that Alabama is a better team than Utah. ‘Bama has been ridiculously overrated all season and beaten teams when we thought they were good and later found out they were not so great.

Give me that bowl ten times and Utah pulls our the victory at least 5-6 times.

They had some rough calls go against them at very bad times and also played too conservative when clock killing. They coulda won by a lot more.
