Maybe a Two-Loss SEC Team Deserves a Shot?

Just three weeks after whining to the media, saying an SEC team couldn't go undefeated because of their difficult schedule, Tommy Tuberville and his Auburn Tigers laid an egg against the Georgia Bulldogs. The 7-4 Georgia Bulldogs. The 7-4 Georgia Bulldogs who lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

When Tuberville made his comments, it was obvious they were directed towards the Big East. But Tommy now has lost...twice. Once against Georgia. At home. Auburn lost at home to Georgia. The same Georgia that lost to Kentucky last week. So, I'll be anxious to hear what Tuberville says now. Does a 2-loss SEC team deserve a shot at a BCS title? Maybe a 3-loss team? Maybe whoever wins the SEC should just be crowned? Tell me, Tommy. Please?

In other football news, WVU rolled over Cincinatti without much fanfare. Nice win. Hopefully Schmidtt isn't hurt badly. Defense stepped up and played a decent game. Secondary still showed weaknesses, especially late in the game. Our second string is obviously horrible. I can't believe how poorly we played after pulling Slaton and White. I was disappointed by that. But now it is time for the Backyard Brawl, which should be a good game on another Big East Thursday Night.

With Auburn losing, WVU can start its move back up on the BCS standings. I don't know if we'll leap Louisville or not. I'm hoping so. With Auburn out of the way, the door is open to make some big moves over the rest of the year. Cal and USC play, and USC and Notre Dame play...so we can leap at least one, probably two, of those teams. Texas still has a conference championship...same for Florida. So, we could move back into the Top 5 by the end of the season if we keep winning. There's still a decent outside shot at an At-Large BCS bid if we don't leap UL by the end of the season.

Lastly, East Fairmont lost last night in another very close loss, 15-8. It was all defense on both sides. East's only score was after it picked off an RCB pass. RCB moved the ball a couple times but that was it. I think the field really made a difference in the game...turf is a lot different than natural grass. But it was a good season...congratulations to the Bees on breaking a 30-year hex. Hopefully they can build on it.
