Poor Kirk.
Tonight the BCS is going to acknowledge what the whole world has known for years... the SEC DOMINATES college football.
With the Top 3 teams in the BCS standings now being from the SEC West, it'll now be near impossible for Kirk not to admit.
While listening to him Friday talk about how Oregon should be the deserving team to go he even suggested LSU may not be able to beat them a 2nd time! Okm say it with me... "WHAT?!?!"
But now that dreams over as is Oklahoma's so Herbstreit has no where else to go but to the SEC! (but watch him turn back into a Standford fan just for the fun of it)
Either way, it'll be interesting to see how the most biased person in college football's going to handle this one tonight... let's wait and see.

The key to your statement is the "s" at the end of dominate. For the last 7-8 years, the SEC has dominated college football. Very few people argue that. But in the days of instant information, facebook, etc, SEC fans fail to realize/mention/admit that it wasn't always this way. USC, ND, the Big 10/Big 12, and others have all had their heyday. Right now, it's the SEC. So enjoy it while it lasts. What goes up, must come down.

Ha ha ha, you're so money and you know it! But please don't forget how my undefeated Tigers got passed up for a BCS Championship in 2005 so the SEC should be 6 in a row already. True other teams have had their day, but one conference dominating for so long? I don't know if we've seen something like this before. But let's focus on Stanford running out of "luck" this Saturday. I'd love to see more chaos this week. : )
Domination by conferences seem to happen by decades, actually, so 6-7 years is pretty standard. And you can't always JUST look at who wins the national championship. The rally cry from SEC fans is always "depth". Anyway, if you look at it, Independents reigned for the first 30+ years of real college football (Notre Dame, Army/Navy, etc.) Then the Big Ten pretty much took over in the 50's and 60's, with Notre Dame returning to dominance in the 70's. The 80's belonged to the ACC, with Miami and Florida State kicking butt. That spilled over into the 90's, but the late 80's/early 90's included ND as well. USC owned the early 2000's, and then came the SEC. Of course you have to sprinkle in the Big 12 and SEC from time to time in those years, but as an overall "picture" that's what it's looked like.
I would LOVE for Stanford to run out of luck, but I have to be realistic. ND lost it's Center and best offensive lineman two weeks ago, and then their best running back on Saturday. They're hurting. Also, our D is good...against the run. So that plays right into Stanford's wheelhouse, because we SUCK against the pass. Look for Luck to have a big game, in front of a PUMPED crowd, and ND to wilt. I gotta keep it real, though I'll be screaming my lungs out.
