Auburn gets beat by So. Florida and Georgia loses to the Ol' Ball Coach?
Six undefeated teams, and 6 that are already lookin for next year!
Suck Egg Conference to me!

If USF had a Division 1 kicker, that game shouldn't/wouldn't have even gone to overtime. 3 consecutive misses in the 3rd quarter alone....sheesh.

Auburn is going to lose a lot of games with that offense.

your right Bigs, that game should have been 10pts or more. the barner o-line can run block but can't pass protect a lick, that qb will never make it through the year with the beating he's taken.
nice job by your bulls ! mike ford doesn't look to bad.

I bet Tuberville is regretting scheduling that one. 5yrs or so ago, a game against USF probably looked like a nice tune up for the SEC season....oops.


Next up for the Bulls, GPK's Tar Heels.....

Not recently... it oughtta be interesting to see what happens there. I love that game... such a great rivalry. Should be a good game, although not as good as the one where we get to watch Nick Saban cry like a baby when LSU destroys the Tide.

1. Win games you are supposed to win with Mike Shula's recruits.

2. Beat Auburn

3. Don't get embarassed by LSU

Nick Saban is too professional to not understand that he will not beat LSU with current talent. In 2009, when LSU returns to Tuscalossa, LSU should be afraid, be very afraid. Because all of Saban's talent will have departed LSU and all of the skill positions of Crimson Tide will be HIS recruits.

but i think miles recruiting, with the strength of a top notch program behind him, will more than match up to sabans skills at getting players. les has certainly shown that he and his staff can get the guys. man that team is deep right now. and don't forget, when saban was at lsu, the school was the big fish in a small pond. alabama is a big fish in a big pond populated by other big fish.

Bama's got skill people! Grant and Coffee are doin the damage from the RB spot and shula wouldn't play them last year. shula didn't recruit linemen! IF Bama lineman start to go down, on either side of the ball, the season will go up in FLAMES FAST! they are thin and under-sized at LB too. i said 7-5, 8-4 at best, this year.

les miles will be gone from lsu after this season to take the michigan job. when he leaves Saban will rule the gulf coast in recruiting. shula GAVE AWAY Mobile and that was Saban's first trip after he accepted the job.
the SEC should be very afraid. ROLL TIDE !

Saban almost won game with Shula's talent and did not get embarassed by LSU. Auburn ahead for successful season...

The above is pretty funny stuff, Timm...

Let's see, there were three in conference losses so far:

Mississippi State lost to LSU in week 1, Georgia lost to South Carolina and Vandy lost to Bama (in week 2.) Three teams had to lose there because we all know you can't have two winners. The three losses OUT of conference were Tennessee to California in week 1, Auburn to South Florida and Ole Miss to Missouri (in week 2.) While I don't particularly care for Auburn, Ole Miss or Tennessee, I still want the SEC to win all of their out of conference games, so it's disappointing. I still believe they're the best conference in the land, though.

That would be the American Football conference I believe

An unbiased opinion is that the SEC is probably not as good as you may have thought it is from top to bottom though LSU looks like a superior team. Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn, Miss st., Ol Miss, Vandy are all flawed teams that are very ordinary especially in light of previous sucess. S. Carolina, Ark, and FL are still in the air, Alabama looks better and KY is pretty good. Outside of LSU this may be a down year for the SEC.

Auburn has a bad QB and was simply outrun to the ball on many occasions by a decent S. FL team. Georgia has been masquerading as a top 25 team for 2 years but they have no offense. Miis St stinks, Vandy was never in it yesterday (though Alabama may be much improved) Ol Miss is not very good, Tennessee struggled with a very mediocre S.Miss team before adding a late gimme TD. I keep hearing about how many players that FL lost and its hard to judge from the 2 spring training games they have played so far but I believe they are dangerous and may be the only team to give LSU a run. KY will beat Louisville this week unless the Cards start tackling people.

The fact is that as coaches learn that big is not better and that speed is the #1 factor to success, the smaller teams will turn to spread offenses and recruit unpolished players that can run. The entire upper echlon of Big East has done this and it is how teams like Louisville and Rutgers became top 20 teams seemingly overnight. Plus the added exposure that the smaller conferences have now that virtually every game is on tv somewhere allows the 2nd tier prospect to go somewhere where they will play because they know they will get exposure. The truth is that only a few teams like USC and LSU have both speed and power. Watching a Michigan the last 2 weeks and in the Rose Bowl it is readily apparent that they just lack the team speed to be really good. I dont know if any team has as many individual talents at skill postions as they do but they cant overpower teams with their big lines anymore. I guess what I am saying is that parity is coming to the college game like it did to the NFL and the power conferences are not going to just waltz in and dominate all the time. Of course the unwanted side effect is teams deciding to schedule division III non conference games as to avoid an early season loss.

i don't know either, but it's very good. making up for being gone a few days? altho the sec has been a top notch conference, they can't be the top dog every year. no conference can, and we all know that there are ups and downs.

but truly, only two teams get much attention from me in the sec. lsu, and i cheer on whoever plays arkansas.
