VolNBama is right, really, this is pretty unbelievable to be posted on the "official" site. Somewhere else I read a thread wondering if we will have to not only beat KY, but the refs as well. I dismissed the whole "conspiracy" idea at the time, but now I am beginning to wonder myself!

Yeah thats whats vandy was saying too about the refs. Quarterback flying by sideline benches bring back anything

I do not see why the SEC/refs would be motivated to screw us. If everybody truly thinks UGA would give LSU a better game than UT would, it seems that if anything, they would be out to screw UK. The SEC as a whole would be better off with LSU reaching the national title game.

Weird way to think, but kinda makes sense.

We don't need your common sense around here.

No, just assuming that the Refs thoughts would go along with the medias.

I still stand by my point....it only makes sense if the Refs 1st...call a game based on their opinions (doubtful) and 2nd....think LSU is the best bet for the SEC. The opinion of the media only pertains to the point made by the OP....not any subsequent posts. The fact that the media thinks LSU is the clearly better team was not brought up; therefore, I think that it is insensible to bring up media vs. ref issues (or even UT vs. consensus issues).

well your point is holding a sign that says "I'm with Stupid" and an arrow pointing your direction.:shades:

actually i think jonesey could be right here. i did some research and i think that if two teams with the same sec record are tied at the top then they do in fact share the sec eastern division title regardless of the head to head competition.

That makes no sense. The point he was making was what is best for the SEC. He didn't even bring up the media. Now...don't get me wrong...I concede the point that the media could be wrong...but, that doesn't change the basic point of the OP.

I know jonesy personally, and this may be a first. :)

not saying that this is correct since it is wikipedia, but i found this.....

SEC Championship Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Division standings are based on each team's overall conference record. Often, two or more teams tie for the best record in their division and each team is recognized as a divisional co-champion. However, tiebreakers are used to determine who will represent the division in the championship game

Well...if it is a matter of division, then UT has lost to only 1 SEC East team...where Georgia has lost to two. But....I think that everyone recognizes SEC losses as SEC losses....we each have two (as of now) ... but UGa lost to us. I don't see the "sharing" argument right now...but perhaps I can be convinced otherwise..

like i said, wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, but that's all i found about the criteria for selecting the divisional champions or co-champions. hopefully this isn't the case and if it is it sucks. but i wouldn't be surprised if jonesay is right either.

this is the point where someone rushes in with clear cut reasons that UT is the winner of the SEC east if they beat UK.....right.....right? (read: don't make me the fool and let me down)

Ummm... we win the East if we beat Kentucky because our Quarterback has a lower BMI than Georgia's.

I was responding to an earlier post that there was some kind of conspiracy going on to screw over UT. That makes little sense. As for the asterisk, it is true that UGA has clinched at least a share of the divisional championship. However, it is still a mistake to apply the asterisk, because of the confusion it creates. It was probably just a stupid oversight by secsports.com. To me, they don't look like they aren't giving us a chance, they just look pretty dumb.

My sarcasm detector may not be working right now, but was that a joke? I was just responding to the earlier suggestion that there is some kind of conspiracy to screw the Vols. I also sincerely hope you didn't look at my screen name and mistake me for a troll. That would be a reasonable mistake to make, but I've been here for quite a while now. Of course, I may just not be detecting sarcasm well tonight. If that was sarcasm, then :eek:lol:.

No way man, your sarcasm detector is working perfectly. Or is it? :)



I certainly trust that you are not a troll.
