College Football 2010: So it begins

[SpencerH]

Name your terms; I'm more than happy to negotiate.

I'd also take you up on a wager over a 10-0 SEC bowl season...

What about the loser has to post in his sig something like

[winners name] is my football guru. Without him I would know nothing.

If Auburn wins by 1-10 you add mine to your sig for 1 month, 11-20 two months, 21-30 3 months and vice versa if Oregon wins and by how much

While I am an SEC supporter, 10-0 is probably fairly optimistic. I'll wager they win 7 though. If they do so you add to your sig for one month "The SEC football champion should have an automatic bid to the BCS championship due to the conferences dominance of college football".

[Guynemer]

Fair enough. Agreed. Your alternative: "The SEC is an overrated conference whose members are too scared to go on the road out of conference."

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ha, the hot never-will-happen rumor is that Nick Saban is thinking of jumping to West Virginia. The reason it can be slightly plausible is because Saban is from West Virginia and a good friend of the current governor (Manchin), and he was talking to WVU officials recently.

Fairly optimistic? INSANE MORE LIKE IT!

Historically, the SEC is the bowl-winningest conference both in number of wins and winning percentage ~60%. Over the last few years the % varies between 70-80 (last year was only 60). So while 10/10 may seem crazy, it's only unlikely, not impossible.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Holy crap!

Urban Meyer leaving Florida (apparently this time for good). With this and the Saban to WVU rumors, combined with Auburn's impending federal investigation troubles (the FBI is crawling all over them right now), the rest of the SEC must be feel happy...

LMAO, Saban to WVU would be nuts.

How many standard deviations is that from median wins per bowling?

[SpencerH]

Saban isnt going to WVU, the BAMA fans are worried he's looking at Dallas!

[Lord Avalon]

I don't see why Saban would go to Dallas. He was HC of Miami, decided the NFL wasn't for him, and bailed after only two years.

[MRT144]

I dont see why Saban would leave Bama period. What is there to gain?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well West Virginia is his home and he's got a lot of friends there (including the Governor), so it could be something like a final job leading into retirement. People make weird decisions when it comes to "going home again" (see Ken Griffey, Jr).

[SpencerH]

I dont believe he'll move to Dallas or WVU and I'm not saying that just because his life would be forfeit if he ever crossed the border into BAMA ever again. Some BAMA fans are crazy though!

[SlowwHand]

Saban isn't going to be in Dallas.
