    The Pac-10's only BSCNCG win came when USC crushed Okla.

    Anyway, it is interesting to note that only 11 teams have gone to the 10 BCS National Championship Games (1998 to 2007).

    BCS National Championship Game Appearances
    3 -- FSU (1-2)
    3 -- Ohio St (1-2)
    3 -- Okla (1-2)
    2 -- LSU (2-0)
    2 -- USC (1-1)
    2 -- Miami (1-1)
    1 -- Tenn (1-0)
    1 -- Florida (1-0)
    1 -- Texas (1-0)
    1 -- Nebraska (0-1)
    1 -- VT (0-1)

    The SEC is 4-0 in the BCSNCG (LSU 2-0, Tenn 1-0, Florida 1-0).

    The Big 12 is 2-3 in the BCSNCG (Okla is 1-2, Texas is 1-0, and Nebraska is 0-1). One loss came to the SEC (Okla).

    The only Pac 10 team to make it to the BCSNCG was USC. USC is 1-1 in the BCSNCG. USC never played the SEC.

    The only Big 10 team to make it to the BCSNCG was Ohio State. OSU is 1-2 in the BCSNCG (both losses came to the SEC).

    The only ACC team to make it to the BCSNCG was Florida State. FSU is 1-2 in the BCSNCG. One loss came to the SEC (Tenn).

    Miami and VT went to the BCSNCG back when they were in the Big East. Miami is 1-1 and VT is 0-1. Neither team played the SEC.

    To add to that the SEC has more National Championships since 1990 than any other conference, with 6.

    The SEC really brings the wood to the big games.

    And it's great knowing who is on top with a perfect 2-0 record, the first team to win two BCS Championships.

    And the only thing better than :crystal::crystal: is :crystal::crystal::crystal: :geauxtige

    Not saying Eli is a bad QB at all but if I remember correctly Eli was getting hell for making tons of mistakes during the regular season and before the playoffs had 2 games where he threw 4 picks each. When the playoffs came around they asked him to play within himself and not try to make plays out of nothing and he settled in a Mauck type role and succeded. Shortened the routes, etc...

    Um, John, now why would you count QBs and RBs for everyone else and not the Big Ten? Just a bit ridiculous, don't you think?

    The weird thing about that article was that it left out the Big Ten and the Big 12 when it concluded that:

    So I went through the article and added up the numbers it gave for the Big Ten and the Big 12 to see where they would place. The article didn't give the number of Big Ten QBs or RBs.

    137 -- SEC
    121 -- ACC
    100 -- Big Ten (not counting QBs or RBs, which is at most 8)
    72 -- Big 12
    70 -- Pac-10
    33 -- Big East
    22 -- Conference USA
    22 -- Mountain West

    I found another article today (can't seem to find it now) that referenced back to Detillier's. That one had the Big Ten as having 105 players total.

    I can count 3 QB's off the top of my head (Brady, Brees, and Griese).
    Seems like there should be more than 2 RB's though.

    Edit: Did a little digging.
    Forgot Griese was in Chicago and probably not starting. So 2 QB's
    Maroney, Larry Johnson, and Marion Barebr is the only 3 definite starters I see at RB.
