Again I berate my own alma matre. No way Texas is Top 5 unless Colt McCoy goes nuts. Our offensive line is decimated (injuries and gradutation). We lost our defensive coordinator. Some of our best recruits kicked off the team... thank God they act up before the season so we can get them out.

I don't know if they are going to be there in the end, but whoever plays them is going to have to score a bunch of points to beat WVU. They actually might have the top two Heisman candidates.

at least they'll make a major bowl because of the cupcake schedule they play.

lsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

go tigers!!!

I like WVA to win the BCS. . .

no miami....hmmmmmmm

I am a Buckeye, and will forever be, but a #11 ranking is way too high. It is going to be a long, long year in Columbus, and I can only hope it will not be a continuation of the National Championship game.

College Football is the biggest bullshit there is. I will become a serious fan once they wake up and go to a playoff type environment, 16 teams, 4 weekends (8-4-2-1)

As will LSU.......52nd ranked SOS!

Agree with the need....but there's no use bettin the NFL over College....Nfl is like WWE!

lsu has to get through the SEC. the big east should no longer get an automatic bcs bid.

Thank you.... untill $$$$ (bowl games) stop talking, a playoff system is a forgotten thing.

The Big East has three teams ranked in the top 16. The Big 12 has 2. The SEC has 4. The Pac 10 has 3, The Acc has 1, The Big 10 has 3. I think the Big East is just fine. LSU plays a very fortunate schedule this year in that all of it's tough games are at home. I give them credit for playing Va. Tech because some of the other SEC schools seem to be content with cupcake city outside of the league schedule.

You know like.......Florida

You guys on the downside and IU misses you this year. DARN!!!

Their defense will win them alot of games this year, but Glennon will be their downfall.

Go Badgers :)

ought to make up for that horrendous away schedule they had last year.

people seem to forget these college schedule are made years in advance.
lsu first game is just 10 days away. against mississippi state.

go tigers!!

also funny how cupcake schedules are decried. they ALL play them. difference is in the big games, and the SEC is thought by most to be the toughest conference. with good reason!
a certain team was mentioned last year as deserving being named national champs as they went undefeated. they beat exactly one ranked team all year, in the last play of a very close bowl game. now THAT's crazy.

Why did you use the Top 16? Could it be because Rutgers of the Big East is 16th? How about Starting at the Top 15. Then we have a diff. picture.

I also love this in baseball. Well in Tito's last 24 at bats he has hit 7 Home Runs. Very nice starting point that 24th at bat since of course that was a home run. That 8th home run came in the 66th at bat from present, so you certainly dont want to say that actually in Tito's last 65 at bats, he has hit 7 home runs. This kind of reading of stats is funny.

OK. So I am nuts. I just think stats and such are so easy to make a certain point look better than it really is.

Anyways... The SEC is very tough again. They will beat up on each other like always. The toughest Conf. away games in the country are in the SEC. And they have been for a while now.

Well I could have used the top 24 and included 2 from the WAC. I think that if you are rated in the top 16 in the country then you may be ok. I get tired of hearing how great the SEC is and how the rest of the country is no good. Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Georgia and Tenn are consistently good but what about KY, Miss St, Ol Miss, Vanderbilt who are consistently bad? It is not like they play every good team in the conference every year. There is a lot of depth to the conference because there are a lot of good teams but there are a lot of other teams throughout the country that would do just fine in the SEC.

Danzing how bout my Hogs this year? Also what ever happened to Cole Norman in the end?

If the sport stopped shooting itself in the foot and had a playoffs then the Top 16 would become incredibly significant as that would be the playoff teams.

haven't heard much about either one...the hogs are ranked 21, so i'm sure the shouting will now begin about how they are ranked too low. and usually when that happens, they show why.
as for norman, last i heard was that his trial will be in november--the criminal trial. there was a civil suit filed as well. (of course).

i think the sec tried to blow it's own horn a lot because they feel slighted on a nationwide level. hard to say tho that by trying to elevate themselves, that they are saying the rest are no good.
and so true about those four teams--they are perennial losers...

didn't they announce a move towards a playoff? well...at least an extra bowl game between the top two--it's a start. rome wasn't built in a day.

these 4 are still better than the bottom 4 teams in any other conference. sec road games against these teams are no picnic. don't be shocked if vandy beats Bama in nashville, week #2.:(

I wouldn't be shocked if anyone beat Bama....:D

Damn that felt good....had to get that Bama dig in.....

DD
That is an old argument that I always answer with...What difference does it make if you are beating the doormats by 25 or 35?
CS

Is the SEC the strongest overall football conference. Yes.
Is it that much better than the other power conferences? Not really

i agree.
