During what had to have been a total lack of insight and sound decision making, Bam_Bam has agreed to take the SEC/Big 10 Bowl Challenge. This is how it works:
these 3 Bowl games are SEC/Big 10 match-ups:
-Outback Bowl-
Wisconsin vs Tennessee
-Capital One Bowl-
Michigan vs Florida
-BCS Championship Game-
LSU vs Ohio St.
If the Big Ten wins more of these bowls than the SEC, I shall sport a Michigan avatar throughout January. If the SEC comes out ahead, Bam goes with a Gator avatar.
[size=16]Anyone else in?[/size]
Bam, this is the one you should go with:

I would take this challenge but that would entail me rooting for Michigan and I just don't do that. Go Buckeyes!!!
Haha would i be a fan if i didn't take this challenge up? bring it on hillbillies.

That florida avatar is just about the dumbest thing i've seen in my life...
Can I work this into the bet somehow?
[size=20]Big XII[/size] vs [size=8]SEC[/size]
Colorado vs. Alabama
Missouri vs. Arkansas
[size=20]Big XII [/size]vs [size=8]Big[/size] 10
Texas A&M vs. Penn State
Oklahoma St. vs Indiana
what happens if they split?
I'm an Iowa fan, but I feel an SEC sweep coming on...the Big 10 just didn't look very good this year :-/
Perhaps you should use this:

That is a crocodile; similar to the one that graced the 2003 Florida football media guide. Football - yes! Learnin' and stuff - no!
I'm in.
I'll sport one of those stupid Ohio State "good attendance" helmet stickers as an avatar... but if I win, someone else has to wear this photograph of Coach Paul Bryant shaking hands with a goofy faced Coach Hayes.

No way. I've got to pull for BAMA, but they're totally unreliable. I predicted a BAMA win, because Colorado sucks, too, and so I'll stick with that despite what I know about our seniors.
McFadden is awesome, but Missouri as a collective is good enough to win... and I've learned from experience never to put confidence in a team that doesn't even have a coach. Missouri should win.

They
are awful. Yet, somehow they beat Oklahoma. What an odd year.

Just as we managed to beat Georgia. How did we do that? :-/
I'll do the Big XII vs Big Ten...As a PSU alum, about the only thing we can look forward to is knowing that in bowl games, somehow the Paternos pull through. I'll sport an A&M avatar or a Big Ten Sucks...or JoePaMustGo avatar (to be honest, I want this to happen anyway)...

Done. Penn State is actually my favorite of the Big 10 schools.
bumpeth

Looks like a split on both accounts.

Or how about this one, Bam?

Michigan fans should be pretty happy about the SEC... You beat Florida, and LSU did something you haven't been able to do in a looong time - beat OSU.
I'm alright with this. Seeing Michigan dominate Florida IN FLORIDA I still don't give a rats ass about the SEC. Ohio State was in a rebuilding year and didn't really have any business in the Championship game anyways...i'm never too bummed about seeing them get their asses handed to them...GEAUX BLUE!
QuoteSeeing Michigan dominate Florida IN FLORIDA I still don't give a rats ass about the SEC.
Winning by 6 points means
dominating your opponent, in Michigan fan's head. ;D ;D
I guess when you lose to App. State at home, and get blown out (actuallly dominated) by Oregon at home, a 6 point upset win over an SEC team is like the BCS Championship.
You Big 10 people are an odd bunch.

OUCH ; :)and noooooooooooo shit
What the fuck is this "rebuilding year" bullshit I keep hearing? The "our team is young" excuse is only good for the first three weeks or so - it doesn't work so well 6 MONTHS INTO THE SEASON!
What will be the excuse next year, when they've got 30+ Seniors on the roster?

You have a lot of room to talk. How about this for an excuse: we play for Ohio State who is expected to a national championship every year, if we played for Alabama this would have been the most successful year in decades.
You can say all you want about OSU but nothing can change the fact the they are a better team than yours, with a better record, more accolades, and a better winning tradition.

And how is it that a "rebuilding" Ohio State breezes throught the Big 10 schedule? But the Big 10 is a strong conference? Seems like a "rebuilding" Ohio State would lose more than 1 game in the fierce Big 10.
I find it very telling that the Big 10 is one of the biggest naysayers of a BCS playoff. The guys on ESPN were saying how the Big 10 likes things just the way they are b/c they can get 2 teams into BCS bowls (with that bogus Rose Bowl Big 10 payola).
Stop the nonsense, time for a playoff.

Hey, I know this bullshit system got my team (i mean, a team that happens to play in the same state as I was born and raised) a chance for a national title this year but I still say it's time for a playoff.

Did you even watch the game? If you saw the same game I did then you would know that Florida was lucky not to have two more TDs hung on them. Mike Hart never fumbles and he fumbled TWICE inside the five yard line. Now i know that's our fault but it could have easily been in the fifties for us. They didn't stop our offense all game and we made Tebow look average.
And to answer your second part....yeah it's f*cking great to beat ESPN's poster boy Tebow in Florida when no one was giving us a chance in hell.

nice avatar Bam. I suggest you stare long and hard at it before you post again. ;D
I see it. I already said i don't mind. Michigan beat Florida so I'm good for another few months. no response to my post? did you watch the Florida-Michigan game?
Bam, I already commented on that game, check out the NCAA Football 2007-2008
thread. I am really glad Michigan sent out Lloyd Carr on a high note after disgracing him and the maize n' blue during the regular season; I think Carr is a stand up guy. Florida considered playing Michigan in the Capital 1 Bowl as a consolation to where they wanted to go, whereas Michigan played that game as if it were a BCS Championship game.
That's what happened. You look really silly after losing to Appalachian State in your home opener, when it mattered. The Capital 1 Bowl didn't matter to Florida, sorry you thought it was a big game. It wasn't (for Florida).
Consolation for what? Florida was never gonna play in the NC game so this was the best bowl they could get! and if you watched the game you would've seen how pumped Florida was judging from their behavior before the game. . . take off your SEC sunglasses and realize that Michigan was a better team than Florida...it's that simple.

Bam, I apologize for getting under your skin, I'll stop.
Michigan is the best team in the nation, 'nuff said. :)
Haha that's not at all what i'm saying. Although i will say if Michigan was healthy all year it wouldn't have turned out like it did. Just as long as you acknowledge the fact that Michigan is better than Florida is good enough for me. Actually I don't need you to acknowledge it...we all know it's true 41-35.

right, and with your logic, Div. 2 Appalachian State is better than Michigan.
and you're good with that. You'd rather your claim to fame being better than an SEC as long as you're worse than a Division 2 team....
your hate for the superior SEC is odd.
And Arkansas is better than LSU so is Kentucky... ::)
My point is that with a full month to prepare for it and get healthy Michigan stomped on Florida. I'm not gonna argue that the SEC is worse than the Big Ten because that'd be silly. I'm just tired of hearing how the SEC is SO far ahead of the Big Ten and every other conference when in reality, other than the NC game, they weren't that dominant in the bowls. I know they went 7-2 but most of those wins were pretty close games.

Damned if you do, damned it you don't...
SEC goes 7-2... Florida allowed an upset, by no means a stomping, and an uncoached and unranked Arkansas lost to #4 Missouri. Bottom line is that the SEC came up with a one-two punch... #1 and #2 in the Nation, with consecutive National Titles.
Were we all watching the same Florida game? We pounded Tebow all night, and were unfortunate to not score 2 touchdowns. We held Tebow to only 200 yards of offense, Harvin ran all over us but that was expected really, Florida was 2-11 on third down conversions...come on we trounced them.
