Aw, give him a break ... it's a typo.

He meant to type "Ssolf," which as we all know is the reverse of "floss," and refers to the practice of stuffing bits of meat between the teeth.

LOL, I thought maybe is was a special conference description or some new ranking model they had concocted.

No worries.

That’s just the way they teach ‘em to spell at the University of Spoiled Children (aka USC).

Umm, I’m not a Florida fan but the SEC in-conference schedule is as tough as it gets.

Truly I thought maybe it was some new weird ranking algorithm the BCS had concocted.

The formula should be based only on wins over top-50 teams. Losses should not factor into the mix. Therefore, if you schedule a bunch of patsies then you get ZERO formula points — no better than a loss.

Florida will probably play Alabama in the SEC championship game.

Hawkeyes visit East Lansing this weekend. We’ll find out if #6 rating is for real.

And then Texas will beat the winner of the SEC title game for the national championship.

I love it when a plan comes together.

OH- I will be in Tuscaloosa this weekend screaming for my Tide to obliterate your Vols.

Just make sure and leave those Puke Orange jerseys at home, OK? :)

They absolutely need to, and can go to, a tournament or playoffs. There is no other reason they still have this BS BCS system other than money. It’s a crock and a rip off to the players and fans to continue to do it the BCS way.
