As do others, and what Lundquist doesn't seem to realize is that while it may be *possible* that LSU controls their own destiny, it's by no means certain. I realize he's an SEC uberhomer, but c'mon already...

a 1-loss LSU would say "bye" to TCU in the BCS standings. I'm not saying that's what should happen, but it's what would happen.
remember, to do that, LSU would have to beat Alabama and Florida. TCU just wouldn't have anything on their resume remotely like that.

Why don't you just no watch him if he freaks you out so much. I for one think he's the best there is and will definately give him more credence than lets say Mushburger or you.

If LSU beats 'bama and then wins the SEC championship, aren't they automagically in the title game? I thought the SEC winner always got a pass to the title game?

Depends on how highly Utah would be regarded when they beat them. I think an undefeated TCU would have a good chance to be above a 1 loss SEC champ in the human poles.

I agree with you and Verne. If LSU wins the rest of their games, they will be the BCS champs... but they won't win the rest of their games.

I miss Ron Franklin. Is he still around?
I miss Lindsey Nelson's calls of the Cotton Bowl back in the day.
Today, I did realize that there now are no broadcast teams for college football that I like. Well, NDBC's may be ok for all I know, but I refuse to watch. But the others are all uniformly mediocre to terrible, prone to getting simple facts wrong and putting their own personalities and gimmicks above the games.

On Football: He's doing UNL: OUsucks-
=-=-=-= This fall, Franklin is getting his share of Big 12 football telecasts ‹ they¹re just not the best games. Although this will be his third OU broadcast, he said he expects to go all season without covering his hometown Longhorns, who are on course for the BCS Championship game. Covering the OU-Nebraska game, which will go to 36 percent of the nation, will be a thrill for Franklin, a former sports director at KVOO-2 (now KJRH-2) in Tulsa. Ed Cunningham will be the analyst. "Even though Nebraska is not close to being back to where they want to be, I still think this will be a good ballgame just because it¹s been such a great rivalry,² he said. =-=-=-=
And he's getting screwed on ESPN Basketball:
=-=-=-= ESPN's Ron Franklin unhappy about change on ŒBig Monday¹ Published: November 6, 2009
While Ron Franklin is excited about broadcasting the Oklahoma-Nebraska football game at 7 p.m. Saturday on ABC, he is disappointed about his reduced Big 12 basketball role with ESPN. After being a part of "Big Monday² since the Big Eight games moved into the showcase setting in 1992, Franklin has been reduced to Wednesday and Saturday night broadcasts. Franklin and analyst Fran Fraschilla have been replaced by Brent Musburger and former Texas Tech coach Bob Knight on "Big Monday.²
You have to wonder how many Big 12 coaches, whom Knight has feuded with, also are unhappy with the change. OU coach Jeff Capel might fit in that category. "I can¹t tell you how many coaches and athletic directors from around the league have called me to say we don¹t agree with this,² Franklin said this week. The reduced role likely will make it easier for Franklin, 67, to stick with his plan to retire from ESPN when his contract expires in April. "They have said, ŒWait ¹til after football, we want to talk to you.¹ But with some of the things going on, golly, stuff like this,² he said. Franklin, an Austin, Texas, resident, said losing his "Big Monday² role was a surprise to him. He said he will have only one game at Kansas this season after having covered up to six games a season from Lawrence, Kan. "It¹s hurtful to have it happen,² Franklin said. "It¹s something that we¹ve helped build on and help grow. We sell this conference and we sell those teams that are on ŒBig Monday.¹ I wonder a little bit if the new group will do as much of that because I¹m not sure they have the vested interest or care as much about the league as we do because Fran and I live down here.² Fraschilla, who lives in Dallas, will concentrate on Big East games this season, but will do some Big 12 games.

It sounds like he's working the FSU-Clemson game on ESPN.

dude, after iowa's loss(he said that after iowa had lost), they probably did.....
They would have been behind cincy/tcu before the florida game, but unless they were MASSIVELY behind, cincy/tcu would have been passed over had lsu beaten florida...
hence until bama beat them today, they probably did........

You (and good ol' Verne) should learn the meaning of 'probably', then.

if you had to out in disclaimer type of words with every statement that is an implied opinion, that would be pretty damn annoying.....
I think everyone(including me) understand that lundquist did not have 100% certainty when making that statement......
I mean hell slick, the sun will *probably* rise tommorrow....but if a massive rock strikes the earth in an hour, it might not......
One could quickly scan the numbers(after the iowa loss) and see that two *MASSIVE* wins would almost certainty vault LSU above either cincy or tcu......thus I didnt have a problem with what he said.
and honestly, Im not sure bama and florida have to win out to guarantee themselves a shot at the bcs title game if they drop a game to say fsu(florida) or auburn(alabama)....
they are 1 and 2 probably in the bcs after this weekend, and if then if they lose and have that MASSIVE win in the sectg they would probably leapfrog tcu/cincy then......
tcu's/cincys only hope is that texas loses to someone.....because it's going to be bama/florida vs someone....and even if texas loses, it's not a sure thing.....
