Best of the BCS era.

[Wild Turkey]

You are right, no proof about money given. Just proof that sCam/daddy broke SEC rules and they chose to ignore them.

Shit happens no need to be whining about it 3 years later.

 

[UtahUte]

There was nothing BESt about the BCS era! Except Utah's 2 undefeated seasons! And the Ass whoopings Utah put on Pitt and Alabama!

How is a statement a whine? I said he was the best investment. Which he was.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Luckiest team: 2013 Auburn

Mississippi State was asked for money not Auburn please keep the story straight.

Asking for money would normally cost any player their eligibility, Cam's dad admitted to asking for money. At that point it should be case closed, he is ineligible. But he plays for a team in the south so it was just swept under the rug.

Fuck's sake, you have a hard time with reading comprehension

All of Suh's numbers were eclipsed by Donald just this year....

Don't much care for being a Homer fan, but that is a 100% incorrect statement.

Aaron Donald's 2013 season statistics read as such: 54 Tackles, 26.5 TFLs, 10 Sacks, 16 QB hurries, 1 blocked kick.

Ndamukong Suh's 2009 season statistics read as such: 85 tackles, 20.5 TFLS, 12 sacks, 19 QB hurries, and 3 blocked kicks.

Throw in the fact that Suh led Nebraska to a near top 10 finish in every meaningful defensive category (#9 Rush D, #18 Pass D, #7 Total D, #1 Scoring, #1 Pass Efficiency), and most importantly the #1 scoring defense in the country, and Suh's season eclipses that of Donald.

Great season by Donald, and he is a fantastic player, but he did not have enough impact on Pittsburgh's entire defense, much less entire team than that of Suh in 2009. Pittsburgh's D was #42 in Total Defense and #69 in Scoring Defense this year.

Suh carried a less than lethargic offense to within a single second of winning the Big 12 while Donald carried Pittsburgh to a 6-6 record and a berth in the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Suh definitely threw more offensive lineman around like rag-dolls than any player I've ever seen.

Best championship game, UT vs USC.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

Two words: please show me where Clarett was paid to go to tOSU and then after the B1G found out they ignored their own rules for him like the SEC did. Oh wait more than two.

+27 words that is.

Boise was better, if you want to talk non-AQs. And Utah's record against them in the era was 0-4. But the win over Bama was sweet, I'll give you that. And Alex Smith is still producing.

 

[cwalke3408]

Unluckest: Tennessee

 

[seahawksfan234]

Best team of the BCS era IMO had to be Alabama from 2009-2013.

In that period Bama went 60-6, won 3 national championships in 4 years and very nearly went to another one this year.

 

[UNA Lion]

I'll own it.

Hey, if your team's luck continues long enough to win a crystal football, I'll take that kind of luck all day long.

Best cheater; Nick Carroll, I mean Pete Saban
