Whereas common sense is generally a prerequisite for undergraduate admission at most public and private universities, it's a graduate level course at MSU, hence it's rarity.

Mediocre is 7-6 Florida or 7-6 Iowa.  By no stretch of the imagination is Georgia mediocre, unless you consider top 10-30 teams as such.  I'd argue they're on the same level as Michigan this season - good, but not great.

What folks don't understand, is that this is part of the system.  What are we supposed to do?  Do the honorable thing and say "No, thanks. We probably aren't as good as another team in our conference"?

Yes, the BCS system is flawed, and $ based.  What about Purdue?  They beat OSU and had the EXACT same record, yet OSU got the better bowl bid.  

Sparty is just pissed because it's us.  Hell, Cousins voiced his displeasure in a (I believe) POST-game interview right after the B1G title game, so he already knew the deal and was pissed about it.

It's just Sparty whining. They had 7 home games. Last time I checked, the difference between 7 and 8 is ONE. Ya, big advantage there. Maybe if they had the winningest team in the country they'd get to play at home more, too. And if they want to talk about home advantage, they beat us and Wisky at home. Some people aren't even worth arguing with, which includes ALL Sparty fans.

Michigan football = life

This kind of stuff is always funny to hear about and see. They can't seem to realize that no matter what happens, we will always have a feeling of superiority over them. Better education, better overall and much more marketable football program, and a better rival.

They can't stand the fact that we are their biggest rival and that their entire season hinges upon whether or not they beat us, whereas as long as we beat ohio, a loss to them becomes almost irrelevant, and we couldn't care less about them. Not to downplay the instate rivalry, but its clear which rival is more important.

The Spartan tears that will be flowing from the floodgates next year in Ann Arbor after losing will taste so sweet. Almost like....sugar.

I almost always hope that the BIG does well.  I was happy to see MSU pull off the win against Georgia.  It makes the league look better and aids in recruiting.  The better the recruting classes, the better the conference and chance for the National Championship.

As to the BCS,  it was Michigan that secured the invite by impressive wins against Nebraska and Ohio in its last two games.

MSU had its chance to get to a BCS bowl, but lost in the conference game.  Lost opportunity there.

Yes,  when revenue sharing is concerned, a team that can produce over 100,000 fans, will get more home games.  We were 4-2 on the road with the last one counting the most. 

Looking forward to next year. Go Blue

"They just won't stop believing that becuase they beat us they should have been in the Sugar Bowl. "- from the OP

Except that, the way the BCS seems to "work", there's no real certainty that this is where MSU would have been. If Bell is looking for validation, the world of  Twitter is a bad, bad place to look.

Last I checked MSU didn't play Penn State either so why does every sparty use that line, "You didn't play wisconsin or penn state."  I'm all like well it's not like you did either lil bro.

Lets not kid ourselves.

They were AT Nebraska after a brutal October schedule, and AT Notre Dame after um squeeked out a win.

Msu also went TO Iowa and killed them, and played Wisconsin two times.
