My team almost beat them at home too, South Carolina.

ok, for that instance, you have another intangible like I was talking about: Spurrier facing his old team. There are tons of factors in games that make comparing different wins unfair, ie: rivalries, conference games, bad feelings, opponents rank, previous week's game, etc....

OK well then how about Michigans greatest and maybe the worlds greatest coach dieing hours before the biggest road game of the year, does that count or is it just because it doesnt back up your arguement

Georgia is still Georgia, their record is really an indication of how hard it is to break in a new quarterback in the SEC (and in general). They aren't as good as they have been in the past few years, but they are still a good team.

And most teams play 12 games. The 13th game is usually a conference championship game.

sure it counts, that's another intangible, I would have thought it would motivate Michigan and help them in the game, who knows, without that, they may have lost by more than 3...

I'm done arguing, it is pretty much a recognized fact that common wins don't stack up as evidence of one team being better than another.

just 2 more things and Ill stop.

1 Can you name a team that has more wins than Michigan?


2 Can you name a team that has a higher winning % than Michigan?



no, so they MUST be a SEC team, eh?

statistics from the past don't mean anything to the BCS

The past shouldn't matter anyways...

...who cares what you did last year or 10 years ago?

Hell...Toronto should be GIVEN the stanley cup then.

he's a michigan fan, it's okay.

the reason I said it is because of all of this "the SEC is the greatest" BS. I dont think there is a "greatest" conference. There are alot of good ones but there isnt on that os head and shoulders above the rest. At the end of the year the top 3 spots will belong to the Big Ten though

well, the SEC usually has a good number of very good teams. Take this year for example, LSU, Arkansas, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee - all have been very good to great teams this year. ANd most if not all have been ranked in the top 10 at one point or another this season.

I'm not gonna say they're always the best every year, or that their champ is better than the rest of the nation, but it seems to me that recently they have been the most competitive.

The big ten is extremely good at the top and very weak below the top three. SEC as a whole is much stronger. 9 bowl teams.
