Name a team that wins a lot of league games but always chokes in non-league games and embarrasses your league OOC.

For the SEC, it has to be Auburn. Auburn will lose to the likes of Georgia Tech, Syracuse, UCF, USC w/ a shutout at home, and many others. Even when Auburn wins, they barely win. Auburn loses most of the bowl games they play in. Yet, Auburn will beat the big dog of the SEC like Alabama, LSU, Georgia, etc. They tend to do well in league but bad out of league.

Honorable mention: Arkansas

You're right. The last three times Auburn had 5 or more wins in conference play they lost their bowl game.

I'll go w/ meeeechegan. Lost to N.D. to start the season last year. Then won 10 in a row. And ended the season by getting punched in the mouth by Ohio State (gave up an all time worst 62 points) & then got blasted by Florida in their bowl game.

Two years ago they went 8-5. Going 0-5 vs. teams that finished the regular season above .500.

I'm down with this, remember that time they got club like a baby seal by Alabama and they won 10 games with shoeless.

You bitches should wear this crown for two reasons...FSU and UCF.

For UCF I can agree. Losing a national championship in the last seconds of the game, three years after winning one ... no.

The right answer for the ACC is Wake Forest. But at least they have a cool logo, mascot, uniforms... Don't really want to shit on them.

But yeah, Wake Forest, please be better.

Meat Chicken - Always hyped to the max and always losing their bowl games that they should win. hairball doesnt know how to win big games and looks like an idiot because of it.

At least set the expectations lower so when they lose in OOC or post season it isnt as big of a hit.

If we are talking about the program and school gotta be maryland with how they handled a player dying. Has to have been the biggest clusterfuck of a coaching non firing ive ever seen. Of course their on field performance is up to expectations (sometimes better beating teams that are clearly overrated like the dongers)

Or maybe my Broncos. It's not like we've ever won a Bowl game.

Those were two damn good teams though. That UCF team finished undefeated, well inside the top 10, and was very explosive. The Florida State loss was in a title game that went right down to the wire in an overachieving season for Auburn when they were not expected to be there. No shame in losing either of those games.

Tough call Fresno State had an amazing team last year but took an absolutely terrible loss to Minnesota

Up until fairly recently when San Diego State started beating up on PAC 12 teams I would have said them hands down.

Probably the two Washington schools. PAC as a whole hasn't had a ton of success OOC recently though, so it's tough to differentiate.

Beat Vandy and we will talk.

Beat Tennessee and we will talk :).

On a serious note, I hope that I am not being too hard on you :). I am sure Auburn will have a good team this year. (Although your schedule is ugly).

To the Bammer, yes you are great but you should be embarrassed with your OOC schedule this year. Couldn't you have played an Oklahoma, Ohio State or Texas instead of Duke?

I hate seeing Chris Petersen fail in big games. How the hell does he win all of them at Boise (seriously every single one of them) and none of them at a school with the kind of money, resources, prestige, and access to top recruits like Washington.

Because he has to prepare for more than 1 game a season.

USC usually does well OOC (especially under Pete Carroll). Oregon and Washington are alright. You are right that no one in the Pac12 stands out as being bad OOC. My best guess for you would be UCLA or perhaps Cal.

Didn’t “hairball” beat you guys by like 50 last year?? And I guess it’s easy to critique a teams post season when yours doesn’t have one...
