So people think the Georgia Dome is going to collapse during the SEC championship game, killing both teams and leaving Auburn as the de facto winner of the SEC?

True, Florida should probably be picked to be 5th in the East.

Media loves them some Malzahn and Muschamp. Nevermind that Auburn had Nick Marshall as QB and still went 8-5 last year. Now they have a first time starter at QB. But so many people think that they won't skip a beat on offense (because Malzahn duh) and Muschamp will work miracles with their defense.

The reality is that they'll probably end up with a couple more wins if they're lucky, aboot the same record if they're not.

I think it's because they're counting the total number of votes 1-6, not just for first place votes. So Auburn has more total votes, while having less first place votes than Bama.

Still, the overoptimism of the SEC West has me shaking my head a little bit.

That sounds about right. One voter said we'd win the east. Hilarious.

Hm on bleacher report I read 4th but I'm honestly predicting a 9-3 or 8-4 season out of Florida so unless SCAR ford better than that I don't see Florida that low in the East.

Honestly, I had the same thought of replying to that thread and just putting football for most of the southern states. I might do it anyway.

With the exception of the CFB references, it was pretty much: "Alabama: redneck, backwards, segregation, lynching." Not even Mississippi got pissed on as much as we did. Asshole Californians.

I gave my take on the states in the thread.

Ohio is funny because there's a ton of people that live in Ohio that have never lived anywhere else, and they think it's awful because they don't get out and do anything or because they live in some shitty town in the middle of nowhere. Newsflash is that every shitty town in the middle of nowhere in any state is boring. The good thing is that Columbus is pretty cool, and Cleveland and Cinci have their decent parts about the city.

But Cleveland sports deserves all the shit in the world.

Feel like most people's impression of Ohio comes from a random cornfield and Cleveland. You know since you live here, Columbus is nothing like pretty much the rest of Ohio and worlds different than cincy and Cleveland

Good for Hugh due to this, with Ole Miss's issues in the past.

I think he actually didn't go far enough. He said the flag has been hijacked. No, it hasn't. It's always been a symbol of hate.

I don't want to be too critical though. A coach from a major school in a state like Mississippi with a poor racial history saying this is very important. And I admire that he tackled it instead of avoiding it like Mullen.

Sounds like Nike is not going to release player specific jersey numbers any more, just the #1 and the year (15 this, 16 next, etc)

Meanwhile Ed O'Bannon still selling cars and I still dont get to play a new NCAA football game.

I was playing NCAA Football 11 last night. UCF is a win over Syracuse in the Big East CCG away from playing for their second straight BCS Title. This time it will be against Alabama as defending champs Oklahoma dropped a regular season contest to TCU before getting vengeance in the Big 12 CCG. Elsewhere Lane Kiffin's 10-2 USC Trojan's face off against Brett Nottingham and the Stanford Cardinal.

Good good. UCF can go 2-0 all time vs. Bama.

Oh and real scheduling news, it appears Bama turned down UCF for 2016 and instead scheduled some FCS team. According to the local Orlando rag writer.

The funny thing with this is that Saban said the other day he thinks Power 5 schools should only play Power 5 schools. I'm resisting a dig here at UCF, but maybe somebody else can hit that softball that you pitched for us.

Why is that funny? He also thinks the SEC should play 9 games, but we only have 8 on the schedule this year as well! Just because he thinks the P5 schools should only play P5 schools doesn't mean he's going to sign his team up to play by those rules when every one else is playing by other rules.

9 game conference schedule for Pac 12 and Big 12. Should schedule 2 P5 OOC home and home games a year and put his money where his mouth is, just sayin'.

Everyone else in his conference. He's not competing with USC, he's competing with Auburn. He'll worry about the other guys if and when he gets to the playoff round.

It's a fair point but I think it's funny that this scheduling announcement comes out within days of what he said regarding P5 teams.

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
Trying to find any team that he was on at the same time as Saban. Talking about the CB in the nfl who retired in 2000?
