guys named Raoul.  lol

Hey, the SEC is a great conference, but certainly no better than the Big 10, particularly this year.  Just to use Michigan as an example, the only SEC team that beat them over the last 10 years is Tennessee (a team that's not exactly having a great season this year), and they've played a few of them.  Indeed, Michigan offered to have a home-and-home series with Tennessee a few years ago, and Tennessee said no.  Why do you suppose that is?  At any rate, we could go on and on about this forever - suffice it to say that they are both great conferences.  The ACC is good too, but after Va Tech, FSU and Miami, it's nothing to write home about, at least not in football.  Basketball's another matter, but to be truthful, I'm not really into that.  But when it comes to ALL sports, the Big 10 stands alone on top.  Check the Sears Cup rankings.  Stanford always wins, but the top 10 is largely filled with Big 10 schools.  OK, I don't give a shit about tennis or women's field hockey, but they do count.

As far as a playoff in college football, I'm against it.  You know why?  Because it's more fun to argue about it all the time, particularly over a few beers.  I'm a Big 10 guy as you can tell, and you wouldn't believe the verbal shit that goes on among Big 10 guys (include Notre Dame in that - they are as Big 10 as any of them, despite their sanctimonious attitude).  Think of the fun we could have over a beer arguing about Big 10 vs. SEC football!  Fuck it, a playoff ain't going to happen anyway.

We agree completely on pro football.  It's a TV game, and some of those guys, like T.O., have to lose their attitude.  Then again, I'd rather watch the NFL any day as opposed to the NBA!

...we just need female players dressed in white thongs to pick up some interest here.

...attendance size doesn't mean Mich v. Ohio St. is the best rivalry.  Just so you know, Bama v. Auburn, Texas v. Oklahoma, Oklahoma v. Nebraska, FSU v. Florida are all BIGGER rivalries than Missagain v. Ohio St.  Jees, you can't even get some of the key games set up correctly (Miami-FSU, Ga-Florida, WTF???).  Rivalries are about passion, envy, respect and hatred.  I'm not surprised at all that you failed to mention the biggest rivalry of them all.  B/c you probably don't have a clue.  Still trying to figure it out?  All right, I'll clue you in...............................Army v. Navy!!!!

This game doesn't impact the B(C)S or even the Top 25, but year in, year out it's the very definition of what a great rivalry is all about!

Aren't you gonna update us on what happened in the "biggest rivalry game in college football"?  Well since you are the one who's "deluded" in the first place, I'll step in an relieve you.  Missagain lost at home in "the big house" to Ohio St. in a game that had no real bearing on the BCS nat'l championship scene.  While both schools were ranked, they will continually be overrated.  Once again, the truth has revealed both of these teams to be pretenders.  Since you are so dilusional, let me help you understand how things REALLY are.  Both Missagain and Ohio St. would be no better than middle-of-the-league ACC or SEC teams this year, just as is the case EVERY year.
