I was shocked with the Mizzery win... but always love to see an underdog jump up and bite someone.

I can't explain it and no one else can explain it, but somehow the SEC games are more intense than the out of conference games.

Always been that way.

But I will say that Georgia had an awful lot of players out from injuries too. They had to win in overtime against 10-R-See.
 
now be fair...in the "others receiving votes"
Big 10 - 4
Pac 12 -2
Big 12 - 1

this makes the list
SEC
Big10
Big 12
Pac 12 / ACC


now the resident Husker babies have a little some thing to crow about.....
 
I'm going to the Florida game this week disappointed that Franklin is out. Have a highly touted redshirt freshman Maty Mauk that is gonna have to step up and play.

Winning on saturdays is enough for me, no matter what the standings are.......

Says the person whose school fires a coach for winning only 9 games?

But there's worse, Bama once fired a coach for winning only 10. Problem was, Auburn wasn't one of those 10. :lol: :lol:

As a fan i dont have much control over that. I cant say i believe hardly any of the reasons they used for firing him and when T.O. still supports Solich, he must not be to bad of a guy. Our athletic director at that time was a real scum bag. As you have all noticed Nebraska's prestige has never been restored since we went away from "home town boys" and passing the reigns down to an assistant coach. Needless to say, I do own an Ohio Bobcats shirt.
 
Solich got hosed. plain and simple...NU might not have dropped off into irrelevance had they kept him around....

How is Mizzou and A&M doing in the SEC?

The polls are as skewed as as political polls. The game should be played on the field.


If the Big 12 was always so week, it is funny that 2 of SEC's top 25 came from the Big 12. And if they were still in the Big 12, it would be 6 and 6. Would it be- probably not because of biased polling.

And that isn't even including Nebraska and Texas.


Do I think Big 12 is weak now, yes. But I think the PAC 12 would give the SEC all it wanted and more. In years past, I think the Big 12 would have handled business as well.
 
conference power moves and shifts.... always has, always will...NOW we have the ESecPN network the clouds peoples minds and gets them to thinking the SEC is the AP poll, then fill in others after that..... SEC is a brand that has been pushed real well, but they play the poll numbers to get the top 10 SEC heavy,

why, when an SEC team loses to an SEC team is it "wow what a powerful conference" yet Oregon lost to Stanford or KSU lost to Baylor and it is " this shows they were not a contender at all" at the end of the season last year, Baylor and Stanford would run any SEC team to the limit.
 
Missouri & Texas A&M would be assets to any conference. Much better than some other prima donna "has beens" in the Big 12. Just my opinion.

Missouri didn't do too good last year by winning just 2 out of 8 SEC games, but they have picked it up to another level this year for some reason. Wonder what that is? Maybe recruiting since joining the SEC?

T A&M has always been able to hold their own..........................

Maybe we should use an example of a mediocre SEC team playing a mediocre Big 12 team this year for an example............

Oh, that's right, there was one. Ole Miss vs Texas.

Two problems, Missouri had major injury issues and I believe some off the field stuff that really hurt them last year, they wouldn't have competed with little sisters of the poor.

Texas had major problems that are improving, I'm not a fan but they sure didn't hurt themselves getting rid of a defensive coordinator that never should have been hired. If you want to use them, BYU put on a much better show than ol' miss. Enough of a difference, that BYU would be expected to walk all over most SEC teams that Ol miss is winning against.


There is far more difference in each conference than between them. Ready to be done with the polls.

Put BYU in the SEC and they would get smoked by the top but compete against the middle on down. For a few years. I'd like to think if they had access to the big money in that conference and the recruiting they would get better. But we'll never know.

That is a pretty broad statement and may be true. Or maybe not. Who can say for sure?

But what most people don't, or even try to understand is that the bottom and middle tier of the SEC is competitive with the top tier SEC teams.

Look at what happened yesterday:

Vandy beat Georgia. Whodathunkit?
Ole Miss beat LSU. Whodathunkit?
Auburn beat Texas A&M. Whodthunkit?
10-R-See beat S.Carolina. Whodthunkit?
Mizzou massacred Florida. Whodathunkit?

Just saying that the bottom and middle tier in the SEC is competitive on a national scale year in and year out. (Well, except maybe Auburn last year.) :lol:

The statement that the bottom/middle teams of the SEC are suspect is absolute BS. They have the athletes and talent to compete with anyone, anywhere. Every year. Just maybe not the confidence or leadership.

There is no doubt that just becoming an SEC makes a team more competitive. Look at South Carolina, Missouri, and Texas A&M. Since they signed, the stakes became higher and they stepped it up.

BYU wants no part of the SEC. Not even the bottom part. LH they've got the unlimited support of the LDS behind them. The quality of the competition in the SEC (all sports) creates the opportunities for the $$$$.
