Why did 11 - 1 Alabama get picked over 12 - 1 Wisconsin?

[SJ76]

Seeing as how UM was 45-42 the previous 7 years (and 2 coaches). I’d say going 28-10 in 3 years and only 2 recruiting classes is a pretty good turn around.

Just think — he has done things in the B1G in just his first two years that Saban couldn’t do in 5 years at MSU........win 10 games and win ANY bowl game. Hence why I’ve said — Saban is a great coach........in the SEC. Outside the SEC, his record looks like DickRod and Hoke’s record at UM, but at least Hoke could win a bowl game (Something Saban couldn’t do)

But Jimmy just can't get by Sparty though huh.


Taggert went in to Abismal programs and turned them around everywhere he's been. Ask Jimmy H what he thinks about Taggert.

Okay then. I took "If you lose one don't lost to a scrub" as threatening and in and of itself disqualifying. The opposite of you aren't disqualified if you lose a close one to a good team.

I was speaking in broad generalities. As in if a playoff run is your goal don't lose (That's job #1) and if you do, don't lose to a scrub (or lose badly). Failing at those doesn't disqualify you, but it does hurt your chances and, here's the key, it entirely makes any bitching about you belonging moot. You shouldn't have lost. So I wasn't talking about what disqualifies anyone, but rather why NO TEAM has room to bitch if they aren't in the top 4. If you don't run the table you have no room to bitch.

Yeah, but UCF is undefeated, and Toledo won their conference?!!!??! DEEEERRRRRRRRP!

Your team has been embarrassed by its rival for the last two decades and your funny comeback is "yeah, but the Buckeyes didn't make the playoffs"?

The funny part of the comment was OSU fans felt they actually belonged in the CFP. Thankfully the committee did the B1G and OSU a favor.

And if you haven’t noticed — the series has been back and forth like that. OSU has owned UM since the turn of the century and UM owned OSU the 15 years before that. It cyclical and after watching the last two years, if UM finds a QB, the tide will shift.

I know all about Taggart. He was the first guy Harbaugh recruited to WKU. Doesn’t change the fact, FSU is going from a guy many consider a top 5-10 coach to a guy who just got done with a 7-5 season where the only 3 ranked teams he coached against, he lost by an average of almost 30 a game.

But hey — FSU has to take what they can get.

No OSU fans felt slighted. You're making shit up.

Were u not on here leading up to the Wisconsin game where multiple OSU fans were saying all OSU has to do is win and they are in? Or how there was no way you don’t jump Bama if you beat a top 5 Wisconsin?

Lord knows they better find one...if they have to count on the quarterback whisperer to coach one up, it's going to be a long decade.

You still mad about the orange bowl last year huh?


FSU Will be fine.

Weak attempt at trolling. Almost as weak as Saban’s attempt to coach up teams when he doesn’t have, by far, the most talent. 0 10 win seasons. 0 division titles. 0 playoff wins. 0-3 in bowl games. 49-42 record.

Great coach....in the SEC.

The number of people who share your opinion is a lonely island.

The number who question Jimmy Jam's ability grows by the day inside your own tent.

Saban accomplished more in the MAC than Jimmy Jam will ever accomplish in the B1G.

Mad? I think it is hilarious. Fisher jumped ship to greener pastures and FSU replaced him with a guy who just lost to the only 3 ranked teams he faced by almost 30 ppg.

How many ranked teams did Jimmy Jams beat this year....how many with a winning record? Talk about settling....How does it feel to be 1-5 versus your rivals?

Feel free to list what he accomplished outside the SEC? We’ve had this discussion before — I’m still waiting on a response.

You are talking like this is new? UM hasn’t beaten their rivals in the past decade plus.

It is only a claim if it isn’t a fact. Feel free to list everything he has won outside of the SEC.

I guess this means Harbaugh is never going to win anything of consequence at Michigan. You know, since a coach can never improve over time.

So he was middle of the road at MSU. Then he was good at LSU. Then he was middle of the road in the NFL. Then he was good at Bama.

What is the common denominator of the two places he has been successful?

What he did at Michigan St is more impressive than what Harbaugh has done at Michigan. Who the fuck can't win 10 games @ Michigan on a 12 game schedule? Seen Hoke and Rich Rod do it FFS. You can lose to Ohio St every year?(and you do), and throw in a random Michigan St(and you do) or some other conference loss(and you do) and you still have a 10 win season. Even if you go and also lose your shitty bowl game.

In Harbaugh's 3rd year, he has the worst team. Which is funny because that's supposed to be the year when a good coach starts getting things together. Where's all them big time recruits from the SEC? He gets his own players, and does worse.

So if he was middle of the road at MSU, then Harbaugh is straight up dog shit. How bad would have Michigan St had been if Harbaugh had walked into that? 2-10?

And LSU is yet another mess of a situation he walked into. You're probably young and all you know LSU as is the program he built. That's not the LSU I grew up with. The LSU I grew up with an easy win most years. That was their first national title since 1958. But sure you'll give him "SEC credit", but you have no clue what he really did there.

He wasn't really middle of the road in the NFL. There is a reason Miami fans were pissed he left, they wouldn't have cared if he was "middle of the road" as you claim. Yet another time he inherited a mess and was in the process of cleaning it up.

And at Alabama he's had success that exceeds anything in history. Oh, and he walked into another mess there as well.

The only common denominator here is you're a dumbass who doesn't know what he's talking about.
