A Georgia vs. Alabama rematch in the SEC Championship game is already looking like a reality. I hate to say it but LSU is the only team on Bama’s schedule that can beat them and Georgia only has Florida left. My Auburn Tigers have both of them left on their schedule so I am hoping that they can mess things up and beat one of them. Auburn is still a year or two away, but I still think they will upset at least one team this year.
UGA and LSU swapped places in my ranking. I moved Arkansas ahead of Tennessee and Auburn based on the way they played A&M. I also moved Kentucky up from last place just because Florida didn’t beat them 137-0.
Missouri is in last place in my ranking despite their 4-0 record. They have played absolutely nobody. They get their first taste of the SEC this week with Vandy, then they get to play big boy football against UGA, Florida and South Carolina in back to back to back weeks. They will be 4-4 shortly.
Florida is not a very good team in my opinion. When they get into conference play they may pull off a win against Georgia or South Carolina but it will strictly be because of that rivalry factor.

Missouri will beat vandy this weekend.
Don’t really understand your bias against them? You have a 1-3 Kentucky team ranked ahead of them, after a loss to a team on their second string qb.

Wow…Missouri…I stand corrected.[/quote]
You should’ve stood corrected like, I dunno, before you even conceived your thread starting post. Beating a horrifically depleted Georgia team(still a solid win though) shouldn’t be what alerts you that they aren’t DEAD LAST in the conference.

That’s a confident statement given how each team is looking in their respective games tonight. It’s certainly possible, but Oregon is handling Washington pretty well(keep letting them get back within one score then extending again), while Stanford struggles with Utah. Transitive property often breaks down in sports, but it’s still all we have to go on until the game is played.
I still think it’s funny how people suck the perverbial SEC dong when it’s becoming more and more obvious that they are not head and shoulders above every other conference.
Just look at what A&M and Mizz are doing. They were middle of the road at best teams in their respective conferences and are giving it to SEC teams on a weekly basis.
SEC, as a whole, is WAY overhyped because of ESPN and their contract to televise SEC games.
Alabama is awesome, LSU is awesome, the SEC is average.

^ this year, correct. If you call Alabama awesome, then A&M should be ‘pretty awesome’ considering how they played them.
Any year, you are going to have 2-3 “awesome” teams.
Can you say that about any other conference?[/quote]
I think most people agree with that, but the vast majority of ‘SEC fans’ spout off like their bottom feeders would be mid to high placing teams in every other conference, when we see pretty clearly that once you get beyond that years elite team or two, it’s just a good football conference.

I do agree. I graduated from Arkansas, so u won’t hear a peep out of me.
The Hogs, UT, Vandy and Kentucky are terrible. Vandy was waaaay overrated

Historically there are 3 (or so) big conferences that have 2 or more really good teams every year.
The SEC rides the coat tails of Alabama, and to a lesser extent LSU’s, success.
Don’t hate. Missouri fooled me. They didn’t play anybody the first 4 weeks. Then they go roll off wins against Vandy and UGA. The Florida game will show what they are really made of. I still don’t know what to make of South Carolina. Auburn looked pretty good against Ole Miss last week and I honestly had them losing that game. We will find out a lot against A

Well Mizzou lost their QB for the season it looks like, so right as they were proving you wrong they will probably start proving you right.
Every team in the nation plays weak OOC. But I’m sure in recent years I have seen Virginia Tech, Oregon, Clemson, Penn State, West Virginia, TCU, Florida State…
And the thought that because TaM and Mizzou won any game in particular means the conference is weak is laughable.

Disagree.
Take out AL and LSU and look at the success of the other schools over the last decade.
Auburn
Georgia
Florida
And Arkansas (Go Hogs!) and a few solid seasons
And then if you are going back several years, you have Tennessee.
And now that Spurrier is at SC, they will be close too.
So you are always going to have another 3 schools in the mix.
Sure, other conferences will have 2 tops teams, but they won’t have another 3 that will be either in the top 10 are right outside of it.
I’m not going to defend Kentucky, Vandy, Arkansas this year. They would be bad in any conference. And I don’t think Ole Miss and MS State would do well in other conferences.
