The polls are absolutely broken, Auburn has not played 5 of the top 25 teams out there. Obviously their schedule is harder than Ohio State's, and the SEC is better than the Big 10, but not by so much that a one loss team deserves a higher spot than an undefeated team. Or are you going to tell me those Mississippi teams deserve to stumble into the rankings every year after playing the worst non conference schedules possible? That 4 loss SEC teams are actually deserving of a ranking ahead of teams with less losses from other power conferences? The polls are bogus.
auburn has played
#6 lsu
#24 ole miss
#7 texas a+m
#25 georgia
#1 alabama
and now
#5 missouri
ohio state has played
#23 wisconsin
#16 north western
and now
#10 michigan state
the rest of ohio states shedule is full of cupcakes
auburn has played or will play 4 top 10 teams ohio state will play 1.
auburn is 2-1 vs top 10 teams. ohio state has yet to play a top 10 team.
the opposition auburn has faced is a combined 77-65(.542) ohio state has faced opposition with a 60-71 record(.458 winning percentage)
the team that has a 2-1 record vs top 10 opponents who has 1 loss should play over a team that has yet to play a top 10 team and has played a cupcake schedule.
anyone seriously think ohio state could handle auburn's schedule? if ohio state had to through that gauntlet they would lose 3 or 4 games. auburn playing a tit schedule like ohio states wouldnt even break a sweat.
Ole Miss isn't ranked, and frankly neither should Georgia or Texas A&M. If you really want to play the rankings game, make sure to go with current rankings. The polls are crap all season, but they are especially terrible in the beginning. Don't be blinded by numbers put up by people who don't even watch the games.
Ohio State went through a full season and only had one game that was ever in much doubt, and it was one of those bitter rivalry games where anything can and will happen. They are up to 24 straight wins in a row, you can not tell me that Auburn deserves a spot higher than Ohio State does with a loss already this season.
Want to know how far one needs to look to see that the SEC isn't that much better than the rest of the conferences? Missouri is playing in the title game. Yeah, Missouri. The same Missouri that hasn't wont a conference title since the 60s. A&M wasn't exactly spectacular in the Big 12 either winning just one title, but found instant success in the SEC.

If Ohio State has a 25 game winning streak and is passed over I believe it will be a greater injustice than when we had that shit show of a championship between LSU and Alabama.

they "killed off" a cartoon character?
Simpsons did it.

I was so excited for Family Guy to come back on the air. It never really did. The Stewie-Brian connection has been a cornerstone of the series, seems rather short sighted to blow that up for a short period of attention.

Everything RHCP sucks.

Evil? What about that singer who tried to put a hit on his wife? That's some pretty evil shit.

I do believe the only bands that get more hate than they deserve, are the same bands that get more attention than they deserve. Hate the people who bring light to the shitty bands, not the bands themselves.
-
Last year they played in a 1,000 seat theater at my school, the University of South Dakota. Pretty much says all you need to know about their following today.

Cool for the fans there, I guess.
Still waiting for the next US dates.
I know you're probably referring to the SA fans, but if you take that comment in the context of the thread title...what fans?
And I'll see them on the next US run. They're the only Big 4 band I still have to check off, and I'll begrudgingly see them once.
That's how I feel too, gotta see them once I guess. I like their first four albums too much to completely ignore that the band didn't end in 1989.

GNR - Knockin on Heaven's Door
Five Finger Death Punch - Bad Company
Puke in my mouth every time.

Knockin on Heaven's Door is one of the worst covers ever done by a reputable band. It is agonizing.

Maggie.

I know it doesn't count, it was a new band and a debut album, but I think Contraband could be called a comeback.
It really did bring Slash and Duff back to light after fading away for almost a decade. Don't know if they'd be very relevant right now without Contraband.

Brave New World by Iron Maiden. For a lot of younger fans, the 80s stuff doesn't exist, and they only listen to Maiden from 2000 onwards.
Seriously? I have trouble believing that.
No kidding. No one anywhere got into Maiden because of their 2000s albums. I was 9 when Brave New World came out, and I've only ever heard The Wicker Man off of it, but have listened to the first 6 albums to death.
-
A Different Kind of Truth was an amazing album, comeback or not.
-
Randy Rhoads. What little work, especially live work, he did with Ozzy before his death is the best imo. If he hadn't died at 25 he might have gone down as one of the greatest.
Eddie Van Halen could have been the greatest soloist if he wanted to, but wasn't too keen on solos even when he was doing things like Eruption. Much more of a riff guy, then a pop-rock guy.
-
No covers? Because I'd prefer it if I never heard Live and Let Die, Knockin on Heaven's Door, or Sympathy for the Devil (ESPECIALLY SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL)
-
I've never seen Rudy, but Rocky is one of my favorite movies. It sounds like Rock overcomes more adversity anyways. Doesn't Rudy just get thrown in for a series at the end of a blowout? That sounds like a pretty regular story, no name walk on gets a little bit of action during garbage time at the end of his career.
-
Freebird is a pretty obvious one.
-
Anyone who hasn't thought it is a damn fool.
-
Black Album, St. Anger, and Death Magnetic? Are you a teenage girl or something? Go listen to the first four albums and never look back.
Don't go see them live either. They are awful now. James has nothing left to give vocally, Kirk shits all over his solos and cover them with wah hoping no one will notice, Lars hasn't tried in 20 years, and Rob belongs nowhere near the stage with his weird crab walking bullshit, plus their songs sound like shit when they play them tuned down like they do now.

No musicians have ever come from South Dakota.

Eddie is on fire on the album

You can't sit there and tell me that not even two years of playing in the SEC has bumped their recruiting to unseen heights at their program. Recruiting rankings don't even mean anything anyways, look at Texas, Florida, Notre Dame, USC, etc. Missouri is the same program they were in the Big 12, and are suddenly the class of the SEC. It's a good conference, but high rankings and praise are a byproduct of massive media bias. ESPN basically runs college football, and they conveniently have the rights to the upcoming SEC network. Seems to me that they are protecting their investment by overblowing the conference horribly (Clowney for Heisman!!!), while at the same time doing their best to sabotage their competitor in the Big Ten Network.
The SEC is the best, but not by nearly as much as the media says it is. Pretty easy to look good when your teams are ranked artificially high every single year. Florida was a top ten team this year, Georgia was a top 5 team this year, Ole Miss was ranked at one point, A&M didn't beat anyone remotely worth a damn and is still ranked (not to mention their top 5 start and first place vote). I can keep going, point is, that conference isn't even remotely as good as billed. Many things are in place in the system to give them a leg up, and they take advantage of it.
