So now that Auburn's won the national title, that means in every BCS bowl played this bowl season, the underdog has won.

wtf?

Auburn's destiny fueled the underdogs.

To think the game could have been 28-3. I am still comfortable with 21-3.

Hate to break it to you, but it's over for FSU. They;ve had multiple chances to do something, and they fuck up each time.

The crowd knows that the entirety of the conference doesn't share a win, right?

I'm not even surprised. The team that had a tougher schedule almost always wins this game. The SEC is the best, whether everyone else likes it or not.

Agreed there, but only because Auburn's schedule was difficult; one the the hardest in the nation if I remember correctly. Auburn is battle tested, FSU is not. That doesn't mean FSU won't stage an Andrew Luck comeback.

It's possible, but I think Auburn is too clutch to let that happen. They're still getting out-physicaled even though they scored on that drive.

Auburn did have a harder schedule, featuring teams such as Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, and Mizzou in the SEC championship, while FSU's hardest competition were Clemson, Miami, and Duke.

I would've given FSU the edge, due to their blowouts of every team they faced, including 11-2 Clemson.

Thank god this BCS system will be gone by the next season.

Did the BCS mess up this championship game? I thought they got it right this year. And most other years really.
