Can’t spell “tighties” without “Eight Titles”

Oops - not the first to think of this.

Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died?

The pop-up ads made this article nearly unreadable on my iPhone. By all means make some money, but keep it within reason.

Just a powerful, well-considered argument. You really laid it all out here. Impressive work.

According to this, a two-loss Alabama team and a three-loss LSU team would both be ranked ahead of a Tennessee team that beat them both. That's absurd. The SEC Championship Game loser shouldn't automatically get the second-best bowl game.

If you are going to give Georgia the benefit of the doubt from a head-to-head matchup then you ought to give Tennessee the same courtesy. All things being equal, the SEC Championship game trumps a regular season game (even a bad loss like TN gave them on their home field). But things aren't equal - LSU has an additional loss on their record.

*SEC championship game winner. No tournament, obviously.

Would a two-loss SEC champ LSU really leapfrog a one-loss Vols team that slaughtered them in Baton Rouge? Would be strange indeed for the SEC tournament champ to be left out of the playoff, but head-to-head competition ought to count for something.

Saban’s temper tantrum after the muffed punt surely helped calm the teams’s nerves.

That seems like a strange position to take.
