By your way, Alabama is playing Clemson for the NC.
tOSU clearly proved on the field that they are the better team, and more deserving than Clemson to face Bama. It is not debatable -- doing it the old way would have gotten it wrong this year.
And from another thread:
This is not for your benefit, because you clearly don't have the capacity to understand it. It's for the benefit and entertainment of others reading.
Which of these was a more impressive and glorious athletic achievement, that should give greater pride to the fanbases:
(a) Florida's back-to-back NC's in basketball in 2006-07, which we won by playing 12 postseason games and defeating, and in some cases upsetting, elite teams like Duke, North Carolina, Georgetown, Villanova, UCLA, Oregon, tOSU and others, in games that were mostly thrilling and closely contested;
OR:
(b) Alabama's back-to-back NC's in football in 2011-12, which they won by playing two postseason games with blowout scores of 21-0 and 42-14?
No objective person would deny that the answer is (a).
@NOLAGATOR and I like the idea of more parity among teams, and more opportunities to win championships by proving our mettle on the field of play, as opposed to letting the title matchups be determined by "the committee and computers," who would've had Alabama facing Clemson this year.
So because we want
more competition,
more games,
more football and consequently MORE GLORY, we are told we are "pussies" who are talking "loser talk" about "participation trophies."
On what fuchsing planet does that make any sense?
Not this one, that's for sure.
@ThreatMatrix is AFRAID for the Gators to be tested on the field, because he FEARS we might lose. He FEARS competition. He literally said so! He would prefer that we win NC's not by proving ourselves to be the better competitors, but rather by being the beneficiaries of, "competitive imbalance." His words!
Where is the glory and honor in that? He is clearly one of these recruitnik dorks who thinks NC's should be awarded in February based on who did the best job of sweet-talking teenage boys.
@ThreatMatrix, all message board bluster and smack talk aside, you and all those who think like you are FEARFUL COWARDS.
