I love that weird play action, fake run, thingy Tebow always does. It even fakes me out.

Auburn, not so hot this year. Florida,in the process of dismantling UT right now. Go Gators!!! I have a feeling that Tebow to Riley is going to be an oft repeated phrase for the next few years.
UT 20
UF 28

Not so fast my friend.

Every once in awhile, even I am wrong, but I'm looking pretty good on most of what I said this week.

Florida is still unlikely to win more than 9 games during the regular season IMO.

Razorbacks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hate to see DMac take them all that way just to watch a pathetic secondary hand it over to the Tide's 2-minute drill.

On the plus side, it was good to see the Hogs finally work some play action into the offense. Hopefully David Lee will work some more looks into the offense this season.

Interesting week for the SEC:

UK's stock has gone up in my eyes with an impressive win over a solid (though incredibly overrated) Louisville team. Auburn's stock has gone down, big time. MS State has shown they might just be good enough to eek out a bowl appearance and are not NEARLY as LOL as most people thought. As far as I can tell, Ole Miss is the only really *bad* team in the conference it seems. Even Vandy is solid.

The big boys solidified their positions too: Florida demonstrated that they are good enough to contend for another NC championship IMO. LSU shut down a good MTSU offense, beating them 44-0 with backup QB (and possible future Heisman candidate) sophomore Ryan Perrilloux playing reasonaly okay (according to his stats at least). In all likelihood, we are seeing a preview of the SEC championship game when the Gators come to Baton Rouge.

The SEC has also, IMO, solidified its position as the best conference in CF. Before yesterday you could make reasonable arguments that the Pac10, and MAYBE the Big East were better conferences. No more.

Hypothetical: if at the end of the year, Florida and LSU are both one loss teams (to each other), and there are no undefeated teams, they might deserve to face each other a third time in the NC game.

Which is a shame. Just because you play in the SEC, you get penalized wrt Nat'l title considerations.

just like last year with the Big 10, when the two best teams in the country were obviously Ohio State and Michigan.

If that happens I will quit watching college football until playoffs are instituted.

My prediction: LSU beats Florida twice, Bama (with a single loss to LSU) gets the at-large BCS bid.

I would be stunned if Bama only has one loss and I took the over on their season wins at the beginning of the year

Their schedule is looking much less challenging than it did 8 days ago. I give them a 45% chance of finishing with 1 loss. If that happens, they are practically a lock for an at-large bid.

Yeah, I don't see it either. I'm not sold on their offense & they have to play a lot of good defensive teams. Fortunately their schedule is really favorable with every game seemingly at home. Despite Auburn's struggles that will not be an easy game at the end of the year at their place. They better have their [censored] together offensively or Tubberville is in trouble.

Pretty bold statement after being very fortunate it to win yesterday with McFadden hurt/Nutt & Dick being complete morons.

I hope this happens so bad, I can't think of anything that would spur the call for playoffs faster.

Right up until the point that Florida handed Ohio State's ass to 'em on a platter..than it become pretty apparent that the best two teams in the country were probably Florida and USC. Nice troll though...

ummmm...You forgot that LSU was the best team in the country last year

glad they don't have playoffs


otherwise, that team would've gotten another shot

The equivalent of College Football in the NFL would be New England, Indy, Chicago and San Diego all being in the same division. I used to be a big 10 homer but I have changed my mind. The SEC is simply head and shoulders above everyone except USC.

You confuse "team" with "talent" too much.

Speaking as an LSU guy (obviously), I concede that Florida was the better team last year. But I do think we were better than USC, tOSU, and anyone else. We should have been #2 at the end of last year.

Is this a joke, or someone posting through a time warp from the morning of the championship game?

LSU could of lost a couple of extra games last year just like UF could have. Both lost to Auburn due to questionable calls/shaky play. UF beats LSU so obviously LSU was the best team in the nation last year.

We might as well just define the best "team" as the most future 1st rounders, 5 start recruits, etc.
