Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Weather here is cloudy but supposed to clear up this PM and hit 63°F.  I should be able to get to the park and run some before 4 PM.  As I don't expect a W today, I'm pretty calm about the game, and they might win of course if they catch a break or three, or perhaps LSU is overly regarded (I doubt that).  Making the CG thrice in 3 years is something only one other SEC team has done (Florida when it first started).  Of course, the SEC E is really two teams and some posers right now.  

I still see OSU as the most complete team and that mobile QB thing is a major plus when facing elite opponents.  I noticed last night Oregon was using Herbert to open up their offense and keep the Utes from blitzing with abandon, nice initial game plan.  I know Fields has a bit of a dinged knee so I don't expect that from OSU today, but they might do it in the playoffs.  I thought Fields would be very good but he has impressed me this year, he picked up a new system quickly and fit right in.

OU and Baylor, well, the helmet thing influences any thoughts I might have.  OU also has that running QB thing going, but probably won't need much from Hurts.

I enjoyed watching half of a serious game last night, I finally nodded off and went up to bed, was up at 5 AM this morning.  I am constantly surprised at how early I awake after being retired.

What is the SEC W, in this light?

Seriously, imagine Baylor in the playoffs. How wild is that?

as wild as a sic'em bear winning the hypesman

The SEC W has two obvious upper level teams and Auburn, which is pretty good, so I'd give them three.  Maybe two or three out of seven is pretty decent.

A&M was a disappointment for many this year but they did play a rough slate.  Arkansas is in Rutger territory.  The Miss programs are missing.  The East does have a couple 7-5 teams of course.  I thought Kentucky might wash out completely, but they did "OK" for them.  The Vols really recovered after that horrendous start, but they got wins over nobodies.

The SEC W has one upper-level team, one that doesn't play defense, despite having a defensive coordinator who makes more money than a whole lot of head coaches.


Bama is not an upper-level team right now. The lost the only two tough games they played.

by upper level, do you mean top 5, top 10?

Bama is pretty good - I think

That you typed this is the problem. Maybe they are. Probably not. Helmet is shiny. Minnesota's is not.

I'm just saying I'm not positive

you seem more sure of yourself

do you think Wisconsin and Penn St. are better than Bama?

Are we including basketball here today or in another thread?
