we have not had a single win against a team that has finished in the top 25. In reality we have not had a single upset. The closest game to an upset was Florida at Florida, but that really ended up being a bad Florida team. Mullen needs an upset victory. Maybe Arkansas will be it.

this year. They aren't good. And we lost to Houston in his first year, but we haven't managed a loss to UAB or La Tech under Mullen. However, beating UGa and UF in the same year is pretty awesome. The they-weren't-that-good-that-year argument is really annoying. Following that logic, most teams' victories over MSU don't mean much.

"should have beaten" teams. Auburn has been ranked as high as #15 this year and is currently 4-3 in the SEC--they have lost 4 games, but to #1, #6, #7, and #14. They beat current #12 South Carolina.<div>
</div><div>Houston was ranked most of 2009, up to as high as #13 in November. <div>
</div><div>Florida wasn't a bad team last year--they won 8 games (4-4 SEC), including a NYD bowl win. They were also ranked #22 when we beat them mid-October.</div> </div>

Should have won that game on the completed Tyson Lee pass to the 2 yard line. That was one of the worst on-field calls I've ever seen and by far the worst non-reviewed call ever.

...that year and maybe the year after, they would almost never overturn a call based on replay. Slive's head of officials came out and one point and told a press conference that the job of the replay official was "to defend the call on the field".

WTF! What planet did that rule come from?

It wasn't just our games. They consistently refused to make calls from the replay booth. If the play was close at all in real time, no matter how obvious in replay, the call on the field wasn't getting overturned.

After a couple years of embarrassingly poor officiating that received notoriety on a national scale, the SEC finally got its replay stuff together. There was an obvious change that required the replay booth official to use some common sense.
