I actually believe it could be a blessing in disguise. Let's be honest. Our offensive line played maybe 4 good games this entire year. We had a hard time moving bodies off the line for the most part. And in those games they did play good it wasn't even for an entire game. I also believe we lost a bit of fire over the course of the season. Would I have rather won out? You bet. But since that we didn't and we are playing with the cards we earned. It's time to start pulling the positives and lessons that only come in defeat and failure.

Look back over the the last six years. We lose the 24 pt lead to Auburn in 2010 and it lights a fire under our coach and team. We blow Auburn out two years straight. We lose a game we shouldn't in 2011 against LSU. What did that do? It lit a fire under our staff and team going into the title game and we dismantle them and go on another run in 2012.

I think we need another lighting of the fire and what happened in the IB should do it. If that loss doesn't burn this entire team and staff and light a fire then we've truly hit a state of complacency. I think this is a great opportunity re-light a fire that can fuel the beginning of another title run.

I agree with you on that - & coming from a reformed semi OSU fan. I'd still rather see any SEC team (other than auburn) in the NC.

Of course, by saying that AU deserved to play for the BCS championship if they win....he didn't say that about Mizzou. Seems like Coach thinks we might still have a chance to sneak into the game.

I've been steadfast in my opinion on this one. I still say if FSU or Ohio State loses and Missouri wins a ugly, low scoring game that the coaches and Harris voters may vote to keep us ahead of Missouri. Afterall, we are still ranked AHEAD of them going into this game. If they have time to think, "I know Mizzou won but are they really better than Bama?" they may stick with us. Afterall, the goal of the BCS is to get the two BEST teams in the title game.
