Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted November 5, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Auburn proves again they are average .. barely survived against Vanderbilt... to say they are better than Wisconsin is plainly a statement with zero merit ... Texas A&M proves they are average as well ...a loss to Mississippi State... Florida loses big to a well below average Arkansas team ... the SEC is an average conference with average teams average coaches except for Alabama... 3 big games tonight will determine who is for real .. Iowa @ Penn State Alabama @ LSU Nebraska @ Ohio State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted November 5, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm with you Matt a lot mediocrity in the SEC. I guess I should say above average teams but fairly average in the power 5 conferences. I see ACC SEC and Big 10 very close in level and quality of play. Lamar Jackson is a scary player. I hope it works out so he gets to shine in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted November 6, 2016 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 OSU looked awesome. They are THE jeckyl and hire team. Barely beat northwestern then beat Nebraska by 60. For the 1st time ever I rooted for OSU. I didn't want to have another playoff debacle like last year where a scrub snuck in. Now it will be Michigan or OSU and we can wave goodbye to Nebraska. Bama had a defense that allowed 8.7 pts a game a few years ago that was one of the best ever. Is this D better?? They have likely 4 1st rounders on this D. That's sick. If you kept that defense together, in 2-3 yrs they would be the NFLs best. You can't say auburn is average b/c their QB was hurt amd not say OSU is average after beating northwestern in Columbus by 4. Without Shaun White, Auburn is prob 30th or so. The only not average team by your reasoning is Bama. There are 130 D1 teams. Average is 65th. UK is an average team by statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted November 6, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 injuries are part of the game every team....that is not an excuse... has them Auburn coach chose not to start his quarterback he put him in the second half so don't tell me he was injured... and yes is a lot of average teams in this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 6, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Auburn and Penn St. are looking pretty similar. Auburn controls their own destiny now with the A&M loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted November 6, 2016 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 injuries are part of the game every team....that is not an excuse... has them Auburn coach chose not to start his quarterback he put him in the second half so don't tell me he was injured... and yes is a lot of average teams in this country Ok then by your reasoning Ohio state is average barely beating a bad team in northwestern. Here's the difference b/t you and me. I don't make assumptions based on 1 game. I stilll said OSU was elite after they barely beat northwestern. U say auburn is average after 1 bad game when they were beating everyone by huge margins until their QB goes down. U are hypocritical. I said Nebraska was a bad team b/c they had 5 games within 2 scores vs the worst the big ten has to offer. I look for long term patterns. I don't use 1 game to try to prove a point then refuse to acknowledge that faulty reasoning when it comes to my team. On another note, I think this year will be a heisman blowout. Louisvilles QB is just ridiculous. With 3 games left, he's 3 TDs from Deshaun Watson's ACC TD record. He's going to set an evil TD mark. He will prob account for at least 6 against UK. Mark Stoops likely saved his job unfortunately. I think he's a suck coach but now there won't be that hard decision on a $12mil buyout as we took big budget cuts. Les miles would fit in good at Kentucky. We have a tradition of winning. Yes it's in basketball but we have a football tradition of at least 2-3 bowl games a decade. Not too shabby.

Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 7, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 You did have the glory years in the late 40's and early 50's and a pretty good team in 77'. How about that running back at Texas, he's making a late push with some crazy numbers. The Louisville QB doesn't have any marquee games down the stretch, so it is still possible for someone to make a push, but he is definitely the favorite right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Teacher Matt Posted November 7, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 correct... right now Ohio State is average ... they are a very inconsistent team... your theory is wrong. . I can admit when my team is not clicking .. you on the other hand have a man crush on Alabama the top 300 recruits who go to SEC schools and the SEC in general ... root for your Kentucky team stop being the poster boy for the SEC. .. you dont wear it well ... so your point is what ? .. the same point you make over and over and over ...which is the SEC is tits !!! .. but sadly a bunch of ho hum teams who cant seem to beat Alabama who wins the conference year after year ...

Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 7, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I did manage to stay up to watch the first half of the Washington v.

Forum MVP acududeman Posted November 8, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Bentley in SC starts last two games for the Gamecocks and looks like a very very young Brett Farvre or Steve young. He was a junior in high school last year. Fucker ain't even shaving yet. So smart he skipped sr year. His play turned the team chemistry around to rally town, and a win over TN. They went to him from a run/scramble qb with below average passing skills. High IQ and above avg athleticism beats low IQ and high athleticism most every time. Â I'm really impressed with the direction this Gamecock team is taking. I think we have the nucleus for a return to winning form, and I could not be more excited. Â Our true freshman QB looks great! Apparently he is attracting all kinds of interest from high school players who want to come play with him. Â Let's Go Gamecocks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 8, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 South Carolina has looked a lot better recently, I would not be shocked if they won at Florida. Here is how I think the committee will rank the teams tonight: 1. Alabama 2. Clemson 3. Michigan 4. Washington 5. Ohio St. 6. Louisville 7. Wisconsin 8. Auburn 9. Penn St. 10. Oklahoma  These are the only teams that still have a chance to make the playoff, the only other team that may have a chance with a lot of chaos would be Colorado running the table but they would need a lot of help.

Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 8, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I would say that the SEC and Big 10 are pretty even, the Big 10 a little stronger at the top and the SEC a little stronger at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 9, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Pretty much as expected last night, although I am surprised A&M didn't drop further.

Forum MVP bs69 Posted November 9, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I was also surprised to see LSU fall as far as they did after losing a close game to Alabama, they should at least be in the 14-18 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
