Marshall won, and WVU lost--that's all I care about. Until Ole Miss plays.

Is he the best in bowl games? No, and last night was terrible. But he's still a very good coach and his 8-7 bowl record is not indicative of the opponents that he has faced in those wins and losses. Less than 12 months ago, Oklahoma dominated Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

BuryYourDuke wrote:Oh right, that game last year when about 1/3 of the players didn't even want to play.No excuse. That's on coaching.
BuryYourDuke wrote:You're right bro. They skated by on that SEC West soft schedule...Worst excuse ever
Again, two teams. One had everything in the world to play for. One had almost nothing.
TCU is the better team. That's why they were #3/4/5/6 and Ole Miss wasn't. They should have won. They smashed them bc they were motivated to prove they belonged in the playoff, not bc of Mississippi's schedule.
BuryYourDuke wrote:You're right bro. They skated by on that SEC West soft schedule...Like I said, it does not matter which game it is, you gotta get up for the game in front of you. Ole Miss absolutely did not do that, and as PH said, that is on the coaches.

BuryYourDuke wrote:What does a bowl game mean to anyone in 2014? Absent some outside motivation (like TCU had), not much. They should have lost regardless based on how the season played out. TCU had a legitimate argument to be in the CFP. Ole Miss wasn't the same team they were in October.I agree Ole Miss WASNT the same after the injuries. But a Bowl Game, regardless, means something. If you can't get up for it then you need to check your motivation level. The only exception would be made for teams with interim coaches.
BuryYourDuke wrote:Dude you are out of your mind. Pretty sure the SEC West went undefeated out of conference in the regular season. If they weren't the best who was?Look who they played. Outside of Auburn at Kansas State, LSU vs. Wisconsin (in Dallas), Alabama vs. West Virginia (in Atlanta), and Ole Miss vs. Boise St. (in Atlanta), the SEC West played nobody of significance during the regular season. The Pac-12 consistently schedules better than the SEC.

If you can't admit that then I don't know what to tell you.I think that the SEC is the best conference. But the idea that it is far and away the best conference is stupid. The Pac-12 is nearly on par with the SEC and the ACC is catching up. I think that the Big Ten will start to rebound in the next few seasons, too.

I don't really think anyone serious has ever said otherwise, including ESPN (who is in business with the other conferences as well).The SEC Network says that the SEC is the best conference by a considerable margin 24/7. ESPN has effectively run propaganda for the SEC for years. Case in point, their analysts picked 2 SEC West teams for the playoff for most of the season.
