Glad I'm not the only one thinking this.....(CFB)

SEC

1. All right, SEC. Alabama's national championship, your fourth straight, masked the fact that you had a down year. But the Tide's rout of San Jose State can't hide the eggs that the conference laid Saturday. Urban Meyer bemoaned Florida's "offensive incompetence" against Miami (Ohio). LSU nearly blew a 20-point lead to a North Carolina team with more spare parts than a '93 Chrysler. And Ole Miss lost to FCS program Jacksonville State. SEC, you can't keep living on your reputation.

That made me lol

Should've been a FORD...F@@KED OVER REBUILT DODGE.

Seriously, the teams will com along with the exception of Vandy, they just plain out suck. And, I hate to say this, but Tennessee will get stomped next week.

Just out of curiosity, what was this poll? There's a 1 beside Bama. Also, is that the same Jacksonville team that almost beat FSU last year (serious question, I don't know - I was wondering when they went into OT)?

yes , same team had FSU beat with under a minute to go and blew it.

It was an article titled 'three weekend observations" that's the reason there is a one there. Here are his other two observations.



2. Brian Kelly's defenses play a lot. Cincinnati finished last in the nation in 2009 with an average time of possession of 25 minutes, 46 seconds. Notre Dame couldn't match even that, holding the ball for only 24:55 in its 23-12 victory over Purdue on Saturday. The Irish defense plays longer, yet defensive tackle Ian Williams said they got plenty of push against the Boilermakers' offensive line in the fourth quarter. Here's why: Williams weighs 305, 10 pounds more than last year, yet his body fat dropped from 20 percent to 18 percent.

3. New Mexico spent most of 2009 in disarray, and that's a fond memory compared with what happened Saturday at Oregon. It's possible that the Lobos simply had a bad day against an offense designed to overwhelm the overmatched and embarrass the undisciplined. It's also possible that New Mexico second-year coach Mike Locksley, whose team lost seven games by 20 points or more last season, is in way over his head. With Texas Tech and Utah next, will Locksley make it out of September?


And yeah that's the same team that gave FSU fits last year. Although Ryan Perrilloux
was there QB, and they also had former UF player and 5 star DT recruit Torrey Davis.

No. 21 LSU beat a North Carolina team (No. 18) that outranked them by 3 spots in the national poll. Where's the shame in that?

Guess you didn't hear about the 13 starters that couldn't play?

UNC got their #18 ranking before 95% of their team got suspended.

LSU fans just about felt the wrath of 3rd and Chavis. Im so glad I don't have to hear about the Mustang D being associated with UT anymore.

everything anybody needs to know is in that first sentence, the conference has won 4 straight national titles.

They've also won 6 out of the 11 BCS titles.

On LSU, it was embarassing. It's typical Les Miles though. Props to UNC for not giving up and fighting, but LSU was an embarassment.

Unless Bama repeats they won't make it 5 in a row....

Unfortunately theres a good chance Bama repeats.

I agree, but I also think they lose to Auburn or Arkansas.

They won't lose to neither one. I really don't see anyone beating Bama this year. It will be Bama and Boise State for the National Championship.

They wont lose to Arkansas I dont believe. Auburn is more likely IMO, but it might not keep them out of the title game.

Care to bet on that Dawg?
