EDSBSGPS: WHERE WE AT, WEEK 6

At HQ Control here in the Metroplex, packing. I’m driving to Houma tomorrow for Vay-Cay.

The main event, and it’s pretty obvious:

SEC Playoffs, Opening Round (Florida @ LSU)

My travel plans will be as fraught with danger and hilarity in the event of a Tiger loss.

I may find gas stations set ablaze, with looting, rioting, and gross misconduct rampant in all corners of the state.

(All of which is much more than is found in a “normal” day.)

lsu wins round one with gameday signage

tebow (hearts) Coach Urban Meyer

fuckers.

Having a little company over in the evening. Meantime,

Ginja Ninja vs. Kiffykins interspersed with
Barners vs Hawgs and
Cats vs Cocks
Bama vs Ole Verestimated
a little Cardinal vs Beavs before
OMG Tebow’s Back! vs Corndogs and some
Nerds! vs Noles

Menu includes muffalettas, gumbo, and corndog nuggets. Featured libations are sazeracs and baby rhinos*.

*Apropos of nothing, the Baby Rhino:
3 oz cachaca
1 oz blue curacao
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Add contents to shaker with ice. Shake the macadangdang out of it, strain into cocktail glass. Run several of these into the line (the line set in grim determination under your nose) until you feel like 250 pounds of concrete cyanide.

Early round: West F’n Va at Syracuse – Gamewatch Party with the local WVU Alumni
(and if the Mounties don’t hold onto the ball today it shall make me curse like the fleet sailor I once was)
Keeping an eye on the Auburn/Arkie and Cocks/Cats scores.

Seconds: UConn/Pitt – My second favorite team is anyone playing Pitt. Go Huskies!
Switching across to Alagoddamnbama and Ole Miss at the breaks.

Main Card: UF/LSU – Might even break out the pint of WBGV ’shine I have stashed in my liquor cabinet.
Ioway/Meecheegan might be an interesting breaktime diversion in a perfectly morbid way.

“250 pounds of concrete cyanide”

Can we drop the old “superman” moniker and use this instead? Forever?

Spending the day here at beautiful Halo de Santo Ranch in (sl)Oconee County, GA with the TV sharing the day’s college football glory.

Straight SEC today, ladies:

Dawgs at Tennessee, Bamer at Ole Miss and the “Mighty Gators” at LSU

Win or lose in Knoxville, I’ll be pretty hammered either way, so late night shennanigans with Arizona and Washington may or may not happen… and Fresno at Hawaii is very likely a total no-go, but you never know… I haven’t started yet.

I have no idea what I’m going to eat today after turning down Bama Brosinlaw’s ribs. Maybe I’ll go with a pure liquid diet.

Wondering if sister still has that extra ticket to Ole Miss/Bama…SERIOUSLY considering the hour drive to Oxford. But do I want to go to all that trouble to watch us lose in person, or would it be more palatable on tv? I am conflicted.

Plus, what on earth would I WEAR? I didn’t bring a single cocktail dress to the in-laws!

I shall join the hordes in jumping head-first into the SEC orgy, complete with vomitorium.

Football and President’s Cup via various mediums throughout the day.

And beer.

Auburn @ pigs accompanied by breakfast tacos and Bloody Mary’s
Baylor @OU and Bama @ Ole Miss from tailgate just north of DKR Memorial stadium
Colorado game from section 107, row 48, seat 15. Game should be done by second half so I will try to catch
the rest of the UF @ LSU game from the tailgate.

Wow Lee Corso is having a tough time today. I wish the best for the guy but I don’t imagine that he’s going to recover any more than he has.

@10

If you’re lucky enough to spend a Saturday in the fall in Austin please stay for the entire game. If you don’t you’re gonna miss out on the Garret Gilbert show in the second half.

Bevo doesn’t leave early.

Well, forcing that third-and-long worked out well for Georgia…

Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Miller!

Pray for me – October 15 approaches and work beckons:

Morning – Office for 401k plan audit
Afternoon – Continue audit to 1 pm, then house hunting w spouse (Bama on the radio)
Evening – Dinner w spouse, then Baby Rhino v. Corndogs

Somebody want to tell me why I’m still in public accounting after 22 years?

@12. Old age is getting to me but I’ll try to stick it out.

@ Shpip: Got room for one more? I’m sure I can find a reasonably priced flight from PHL today. I’ll bring bottle of locally distilled Bluecoat Gin. And a bag of cheesesteaks.

D’narious Moore is a supafreek.

That giant catfish is never going to get off the bench, at this rate.

Morning on the couch after a crazy concert last night…..

Purdue/Minnesota(where there’s SNOW on the ground), MSU-Illinois, and Auburn-Arky in the noon slot, followed by OSU-Wisconsin at 3:30 at the tailgate before sitting in the student section for BEEEEEEES-’Noles At 8. Will watch for LSU-UF updates.

“Auburn has been horrible today.” Hee!

C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
Jonathan Crompton 12/15 205 13.7 3 0

Those are the first half numbers for the Giant Catfish…everyone point and laugh at Georgia.

Wait a second… are ya’ll sure Crompton sucks? I mean, they haven’t been sandbagging this whole time right?

…

…oh, they weren’t sandbagging?

…and Crompton does suck?

…pass me that bottle of Old Crow, would you please? Thanks.

should georgia’s opponents start a keep willie martinez campaign?

I wonder if I could get that bright fellow from “SmartFootball.com” to text a time-tested defensive strategy for defending the roll-out pass with crossing routes to Willie M.?

Do we have an over-under on how many more times (in a row) Lance will call it in the second half?

/takes another swig of Old Crow straight from a handle.

Which is worse: watching Auburn’s or Illinois’s blowout, or listening to Pam Ward call the “close” game of Purdue and Minnesota?

27 – Pam Ward. Not even close.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Your 2009 Auburn Tigers!

They were who we thought they were!….Ark 34 AU 3 ….3rd Quarter……wow this next stretch of games for Auburn is tough. Lucky to win one out of 7……

Gators 34…….Lsu 14

Game ain’t over yet Turd! If Tate hadn’t fumbled on the 5, this would be a 10 point ball game…

@ 29

Keep your pelican pants on there with Malzahn in the building.

@25: If he lasts to the final game of the season, I think there will be a nice market for old gold “Keep Willie Martinez” shirts in Atlanta. However, at the rate he’s going now, I’m not sure he’ll be able to last that long.

Flipping between Uga and Smokey and Tigers/ Hogs. Then at 3:30 tOSU vs. Wiscy. Tonight a remote may get worn out between Um and Iowa and Gators/Cajuns.

SEC Network = “Suddenly, Erratic Coverage.”

Turn your noodle-armed QB into a Heisman hopeful! Put Georgia on your schedule!

Georgia saw a giant fish, and the giant fish fucked their brains out.

What the goddamn fuck is it with Auburn goddamn fucking imploding against Arkansas time in and time out? They better play flawless fucking football the rest of the season, because every goddamn fucking error they could have committed, they did so today.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK MMMMMMMEEEEEEE!

As a Ga fan, I apologize to the rest of the SEC and the NCAA for a truly horrible display of football.

@36: I’m not entirely sure that was football.

Hurray for Mississippi State! Naw, I’m just kidding. I’ve been to Juarez, Mexico and Philadelphia, Mississippi in the short span of just 8 days. I have looked into the abyss and it tried to pee on me!

state of my (tampa-based) Gator Nation: Burning off neurotic energy: 8 am to buddy’s house for dog care whilst he’s on biz trip; back home, dogs to vet for annual jabbing with needles & county tags (oh jeebus- mommy needs a cocktail after THAT ordeal); wow- sooee is kicking war eagle’s ass early!; clean front porch, clean half of house, get mop bucket ready (damn, i am wound up about the game!); lunch; need to call mother; have cocktail; delightful discussion with Mama (darlin’, you shore seem awful wound uh-up. did yew taaayke yur medi-ceen?) [yes, she does sound that way; blueridge mountain hillbilly origins]; text several friends; ah screw it, it’s not too early for a beer- I’ll get more on that evening run to buddy’s house for dog sit care round 2; text friends; damn, can’t sit still- clean more; oh hell, why not login to facebook? taunt several Canes fans in network….foot tapping, even as I catch end of dawgs-catfish and cocks-kitties….damn it, is it time to fire up the grill yet? sigh. that’s my day/travel plans. sort of relieved I am getting too old to handle being in Baton Rouge. Photo uploads/highlights would be delish!

Gotta admit, the Big 12 just isn’t stepping up to the plate this year. OU apparently had a HUGE downgrade in offensive line talent. Kansas and Oklahoma State still don’t have any defense. Nebraska doesn’t have a quarterback. Tech, aTm, and Mizzou all are various levels of schizophrenic. Texas really has no excuses at all if they blow this.

At least this Dawgs fan finally got validation on one of the things I’ve been banging on about.

We finally tried to block a punt. And are now 1 for 1 on that for the season.

Suppose we could have used those two points against LSU, when they were punting from inside their 5?

So we had that…and the kickoff return…and the pick-6 going for us today. But other than that…holy crackers, could Georgia have done any more to give a foundering Tennessee program a shot in the arm?

Don’t laugh, I’m in my girlfriends house listening to the Carolina-GSU game while crushing beers and watching the Bama game on mute.

Dogsitting is fun.

So let me see, we have a pick six, block a punt for a safety, a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and a 52 yard field goal. Tell me that before the game and I’d say we were rolling. Instead, we look like have never seen a play action before, can’t wrap our minds around the concept of bootleg, and block like the other team are wearing razor blades.

Gaylor. scewze me, Gaylor-sans-QB is making UT fans drool with anticipation.

Nutt! You shoulda gone for the 1st down- field goal?

Bevo loves you all

XOXO
Colt McCoy

@42:

Hell, I can top that.

After a 3-point 1st half (UCLA 52 yard field goal) which included an Oregon defensive stand on their own 1-foot line, we had:

an Oregon 102-yard kick return for TD;

on the next play, an Oregon pick six;

a UCLA three-and-out;

an Oregon passing TD on the next series;

and with Oregon pinned in at their 1-yard-line (another great UCLA punt);

Oregon’s QB gets intercepted INSIDE the Oregon end-zone, 6 points, UCLAns.

This is frankly, one HELL of a football game. Too bad you have to live west of the Sierras to see it.

Dear Georgia,
Dude… uh… What the fuck? Seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK? Were you not # 2 in the nation at the end of the season a scant two seasons ago?

I think Tennessee passed off the “sold defense making up for a completely inept offense” torch to Ole Miss this weekend.

@47 -

I have no idea.

Something has obviously gone seriously wrong…but as to what it is, I have no bloody idea.

Most of Athens seems to share this confusion…

…including, unfortunately, our coaching staff.

At least when I was a kid sitting in Parker Stadium watching the Beavers lose game after game, I knew we were supposed to be sucking.

Saban: I don’t have time for this shit. Pick it.
Nutt: GIGGITY!

Spurrier would like to retract his Jevan Snead vote now. 85 yards and three picks in a big game at home. Good. God.

How many turnovers is that now in this Bama – Ole Miss game?

Apparently the Pittsburgh defensive line is putting together the world’s largest ball of tape. Mike Patrick seemed fascinated by this and spent precious airtime talking about how a little old lady in Akron could break that record if she wanted to. I’m serious, this happened, I heard it.

So, how is Snead still in this football game?

UCONN’s only hope is to let Pitt score.

I still don’t think Tim should play in this game, but the doctors have cleared him. oh boy. time for another margarita!

Harris -

I’ve seen enough UConn games to know there was no freaking way they could come back if they let the Panthers score. They were better off trying to strip the ball and praying for them to blow the field goal.

I’m sayin’ this here on account of how a while ago the ABC announcer was saying
 that east of the Rockies, noone thinks about Oregon or the Pac 10. I don’t know if that’s
just him being a dufus, likely.

For those not on the west coast, here’s what happened in a pretty exciting (not so much if you were
a Bruins fan) game – if you blinked you missed the excitement of the Ducks’ electric
 blitzkrieg putting up a smacking 21 points in 4 mins.. This is with second string Costa in
(doing his best imitation of a Big 10 Quarterback – scoreless in the first half).

But all he needed to do was get the win and not lose the game, and Costa did that.

With Masoli in, we’re a top 5 team. Rock solid defense. LeMichael James should be a Heisman
contender, for crying out loud, he’s the second coming of Barry Sanders, I kid you not. These guys
are scary good even with half the first string out with injuries.

I can’t wait for USC on Halloween night. Not that Washington won’t be tough.

I am convinced Jesse Palmer is a robot. He uses the same hand motions and same word emphasis in his speech pattern in every single segment on TV. Without sound on, you could play all of his highlights and it would be as if they were all taped the same day. I think he has a hard drive up his ass and they just plug in the talking points and push play.

Dear Jevan Snead,

It was easy to see why you performed poorly against bammer today. I would have also had trouble after shitting my pants at the sight of the bammer defensive line and their speed. Thank you for showing your mediocrity and that South Carolina’s win over #4 ranked you was nothing big.

Your mother hates you and you smell like pee.

If the chosen one chooses to run, i can imagine there will be a lot of people on the bayou screaming “geaux for the head.”

The chosen one is playing. If Florida wins, get ready to hear every ESPN pole smoking analyst repeat the talking point “he comes back from injury and leads his team to a great victory against a hard opponent, on the road. How can you not give him the heisman?”

James. Really… James. You named my little brother Jacquizz, and all I fucking get is James.

Did Colorado REALLY just run down the field for the most part and score on Texas on a PASSING PLAY?!?!?!

No matter the outcome of the LSU/Flo-rida game, they’ll find a way to pin it on Tebow’s dented skull. He plays and FL wins? Oh, he’s just that damn good. He plays and they lose? He was hurt, y’all, and it was basically cheating. He doesn’t play and they win? We don’t need him anydamnway, we’re that good. He doesn’t and they lose? Y’all know we need our QB to play ball.

Thank you, Tebow’s Dented Cranium, for officially making this game a moot point. I’m fixin’ ta vomick.

Drama! Fla stomping on “the eye” at midfield & LSU “discussing” the situation with them. local news crew whipping crowd into a frenzied bloodlust. Should be fun!

has the really stupid fad of stomping on someone’s midfield logo ever turned out well?

So NCSU suceeds in giving Duke it’s first road ACC win in forever. With this and the VT blowout over BC today, the ACC Atlantic division is officially the weakest division in college football.

Corch says Timmay! is starting, good luck & be safe!

One more thing:

If there is not a thread with the tag “Georgia is supplying the butt” this week I will be very irate.

I’m afraid I have no choice but to endorse the call made @69. We supplied acres of butt.

Been awfully quiet on the site today so far. Hope none of the usual commenters have drunk themselves into comas—would be a shame for anyone to miss this MNC elimination game—and that Orson and Holly haven’t been battered and fried by some crazed Red Stick tailgaters.

LSU D, don’t swarm to the RB on the option play. U must be prepared for the .000001% chance they will let Tebow run and risk getting knocked silly.

Ron Cherry is officiating in Tallahassee? Well, someone’s fucked.

Is the camera drunk from the fumes in the stadium in baton rouge? Why can’t these assholes keep the picture in focus

Firsthand reporting: Minny/Purdue was pretty brisk this morning. Yes, there was about 1/2" of snow last night.

Dunno WTF is with 11am kickoffs; the student section hadn’t really emerged from its collective hangover until
around halftime.

I used doghair, so I was loud throughout of course. PROTIP: no patdown short of an arrest will find a flask
tucked into the inside of the thigh of a pair of bike shorts.

I would guess the Minnesota students had no idea how to handle any part of that game because of the “we don’t have a dome anymore and have to watch these games in the elements now” factor. I saw part of that game. They all looked very cold.

Well, I threw caution to the wind and went to the game. Good news=we have a great defense, and after today I can go back to supporting the Rebels AND the Tide. Bad news=Jevan Snead has now displaced Doyle Jackson as the most hated guy after an Ole Miss-Bama game. Checked my Facebook news feed when I got home and the consensus is they want him GONE.

@72 obvious fumble recovered by GT on the first play, ruled FSU ball and no review despite obvious video evidence

it’s approaching an hour 30 on lightning delay now

‘Well if that’s yer definition of holding, you can call it on every play then!"

Nice sound guy catching someone yelling at a ref during the UT/CO turnover contest.

Your post is offside, sir! Much like the Cajun defense. It’s like there’s crawfish in the UF backfield and the LSU DL has been fasting for 3 weeks.

Why isn’t Florida using Moody more? This is so frustrating to watch.

Good Gawd if LSU could come up with ANY kind of offense they might have a chance to steal this fucker!

The “prarie dog” offense that LSU keeps pulling is starting to make the natives restless. sometimes you do the voodoo & sometimes the voodoo do you.

Way to trash that kids redshirt coach Hawkins; in a game that was over. What a dick!

Urban might be sitting on 10 points. No need to score more and risk getting Tebow hurt, because there’s no way LSU is going to get there.

A friend and I were wondering how SEC fans can stand Danielson, but I guess how much can you really dislike someone who sucks your dick? It feels good enough that you can let the annoying qualities slide.

forgive me sir, for not knowing, urban meyer’s members only jacket, but might you be a Big Ten fan? because I have a buckeye fan who just texted a VERY similar message! my goodness- the serendipity that would be! (though I normally say, “shut up Gary!” because I feel he announces some horrible situation like a voodoo jinx man! agh

Not able to watch the game, keeping up the gamecast updates. Do we look flat, or is LSU defense that good? And does their offense just suck? Statistically we seem to be winning….

In order: Not really because they’re clearly managing the game, no, and oh god yes.

LSU D did play well enough to keep them in the game. Gary Crowton’s playcalling on Offense simply sucks.

GT/FSU Defense we don’t need no stinking defense.

Good win and great defense for the Gators tonight. I like the fact that we can run the ball, but I don’t know why we don’t pass the ball unless it’s a completely predictable situation. Also, how about a old school QB sneak sometime?

I swear UF passes less often than Georgia Tech.

I checked, and my instincts were wrong, but I won’t stop complaining. Tebow can throw; let him!

For what it’s worth, it’s not really a “sneak” if it’s Tim. Tim up the middle is about as subtle as a nuclear weapon.
And just as unstoppable. Concussed or not, he’s the guy with the Bad Mother Fucker wallet.

playcall was SO conservative, AND predictable. just shows how overmatched LSU was…I’m psyched about the win (early on was nerve wracking – my gawd, that stadium is INSANELY loud!). however, Arkansas surprised me earlier today. Gators need to sharpen up- and seriously, please say that play calling was Urban over-worried over Timmy, and NOT what Adazzio would put together. understand it’s been two weeks since play, they likely had to consider many different looks, possibly two QB’s, but, really, when a play works you run three times in a row? on that 3rd and inches, they could’ve tossed to Demps to the left and made it at the sideline. stuff like that, lack of polish, concerns me. nonetheless- going to enjoy the tequila buzz and the “W”
and, RUN Orson RUN!!!

GT just forced the first punt they’ve seen in around 7 quarters

Georgia might have the two worst BCS defensive coordinators in the country in Wommack and Martinez

Gotta say, PAC 10 is way deeper and stronger than the SEC.

Just look at Florida’s schedule – other than LSU, they’re playing fairly weak to middling-weak to puff pastries.

The polls are really laughable.

Ahh, just what EDSBS needed: ESPN.com’s PAC-10 trolls.

“Gotta say, PAC 10 is way deeper and stronger than the SEC.”
seriously? umm… yeah. Stanford. UCLA. USC. Cal. and others (what, Oregon State is supposed to stand for overall best team nation wide?)
every conference has cream puffs, every conference leader plays [paid] creampuffs.
So, what to make of VA Tech? everyone knows the ACC sucks- really SUCKS- but Tech is lookin good.
the Big Ten fans will pipe in! (any.minute.now.). understand the hype on the boob tube affects things, but if you watch the actual games, you see the athletes. gets tricky- does Boise have great athletes? yes. are they ever tested? hmmm…
whole lotta futbawl left to play (and my Gators are just as susceptible to Arkansas or- ugh- the Ole Coach’s team.
we shall see…

Let’s be honest. Florida State just plain sucks. BEEEEEES have run up 400+ yards rushing. This never would have happened if Bowden and Mickey Andrews were still alive.

Chances of FSU ending with a losing record just increased significantly.

well the WAC Shootout of the Week just ended in Tallahassee…

@94- I imagine Florida’s SOS will match up quite nicely with your favorite PAC-10 team when all is said and done.

@95: sorry, just to clarify, no connection to ESPN whatsoever, unfortunate coincidence, more Desmond Morris (“The Soccer Tribe”)
fan than Kirk Herbstreit fan, to be honest. And don’t mean to troll, just an honest telling ya what I felt, nothing
more. Well, just a reaction to seeing the Harris Poll, perhaps.

“I imagine Florida’s SOS will match up quite nicely with your favorite PAC-10 team when all is said and done.”

@94: FWIW, although it’s not clear how accurate these are:
http://www.jhowell.net/cf/cf2009.htm

It’s not so much where the top team (expect this to be Florida, best SEC team) is but who gets to play them. Here’s where the poll positions play a crucial role, because the strength of schedule is not significant enough to overcome a few spots difference
in poll position. If it’s an LSU-Florida BCS final because LSU remains #2 in the polls, I’m going to hurl.

@95: and I hang out here though it’s not a Pac 10 blog because Orson is the best sports writer in the country, and commenters here tend to be pretty damn funny, genuine and articulate. It’s not that I’m looking to troll in opposing team blogs, well, troll at all, period.

According to this, Florida is ahead in the computer polls that matter over USC…

http://www.bcsguru.com/bcs_standings.htm

@103: Yep, exactly what I’m nauseous about.

“http://www.bcsguru.com/bcs_standings.htm”

The BCS projections are scary – it’s like monkeys throwing peanuts at a dart board. OK, maybe not that bad but there’s certainly prejudice, lack of objective thought and complete bogosity at work here.

I’ll make a comparison of just Pac 10 teams so as not to provoke a cross-conference flame fest here:

USC is #7, Oregon is #13.

USC has one loss to unranked Washington.
Oregon has one loss to #5 Boise State.

USC beat Washington State 26-3
Oregon beat Washington State 52-3

USC beat Cal 30-3
Oregon beat Cal 42-3.

Now, we may suck, all in all. But results on the ground certainly seem better than USCs. Even imponderables like stronger, ore experienced quarterback, I’d say by all reasonable standards Oregon should be ranked higher than USC.

Why am I indulging in the usual pedantic whining about school rankings and relative conference strengths that constitutes the bulk of college football conversation on Saturday nights around the country? Because they keep changing the goddang formula – and I’m an eternal optimist. If they change it, perhaps one day they wlil change to something sane…

Now thats something I havent seen UW do in a very very long time. Im stunned and elated at the same time.

I would agree, except for two things. One, USC beat Ohio State on the road. Yes, we all know tOSU is overrated, but as long as they’re staying in the top ten, then USC will get the edge. Two, the computers don’t give a crap about the margin of victory. To the computers, Oregon’s victories over the same teams USC won will be rated exactly the same way.

Anyways, it’s a waste of time to get in a fuss over polls right now. This is college football, and that means the unpredictable who, if anyone, will go the rest of the way undefeated.

1. Florida still has Arkansas, Georgia, @ South Carolina and the SEC Championshp game to worry about.
2. 2 Texas still has Oklahoma, @ Missouri, Kansas, and the Big 12 Championship game.
3. 3 Bama still SC, LSU, @ Auburn, and the SEC Championship game to worry about.
4. 4 VT (my team) has @ GT, @ ECU, NCSU, and the ACC Championship game.
5. 5 Boise State has a very weak schedule to worry about ruining their computer ratings and respect with the voters.

So there’s plenty of time for movement to be made before the season is out.

@ 104 gamedaytribe: No need to be nauseous. The Oregon USC situation will be worked out by all saint’s day.

Your points are valid, but Oregon really did stink up the blue turf in the first game. Those early season impressions often carry more weight than they should. But if the team keeps winning then it won’t matter.

I saw the kickoff temperature for TCU-Air Force tonight was a blistering 19 degrees. Those poor bastards.

107

Yeah, the USC-Oregon situation will be settled on halloween. The more distressing situation for an Oregon fan would be the Va Tech comparison. Their resume’s are damn near identical and their separation in the human polls are pretty sizable.

And I am not going to step into the conference vs conference bloodbath but to say that the differences between the conferences are always less than commenters and fans tend to believe they are.

Just look at each conferences records versus the other BCS conferences. All are pretty close to .500.

I’ve making the same arguemnet as GDT has about Oregon/USC elsewhere and met with the refutation: USC’s ranking ahead of Oregon rests on preseason polls and an ugly win. Luckily for Oregon they have a head to head, at home, to settle that score. But, today, I think that an objective observer watching those two teams perform on the field would have to agree that Oregon is the better performing team today.

As for the SEC/Pac10: It’s not close. UF & UA are superior to USC and Ore. LSU, AU, and SoCar over, who?, Stanford, Zona, and OSU…after that comes the SEC Schitzos of Ark, Ole Miss and UGa which could be better than the Pac10 group of Cal, UW, and UCLA but that simply may rely on whether they liked what thier gameday breakfast was or not…and the bottom is the bottom MSU, VU,UT, UK or ASU and WSU.

I’d say the only real measure of superiority for the Pac10 over the SEC is that Pac10 geeks (Stanford) are consistently better then the SEC geeks (Vandy).

@108—Oh I was at the game, it was not pleasant at all. Air Force had almost everything working it its favor and they just couldn’t pull it out. TCU’s defense was just too good.

108

The NCAA changed the rule this year, and you have to win your conference championship to be eligible. So, no all-SEC final ever.

Tyson Lee is the reincarnation of Michael Henig. Another game, another 4 TOs, of which 3 were in the red zone. I’m taking bets when we play Bama at 5+

I think i need to change my comment at 117 to @114

“Gotta say, PAC 10 is way deeper and stronger than the SEC”

Using the immortal words of Orson Swindle and the EDSBS crew…

Go fuck yourself with a traffic cone. Nuff said.
