All the Auburn fans I know are saying the same thing about Clemson lol. Seems like neither fan base really wants this game. I get it, if you're not a natural rival of a program, it's more fun to be playing different teams.

It is always nice when your big rival is out of conference and good.
FSU was really lucky to have Miami and UF every year as OOC opponents.

Okay mre, from your experience how often do landlords that have had tenants that caused more than $4000 in property damage decide to not press charges? Just seems very odd that Jameis Winston and his roommate could do $4,200 in damages during an apartment bb gun battle, then the manager of the complex basically says no biggie. I'm not trying to imply an FSU booster jumped in to make a generous settlement with the complex owner out of court, but I am suspicious.
BTW Jameis is an asshole for flippin squirrels on-campus with a BB gun. You know all those squirrels are domesticated. Its like hunting at a petting zoo.

How are bb guns allowed on campus?

This may shock you but putting "gun-free zone" signs or laws into effect doesn't magically prevent guns from appearing in those locations.
Furthermore MOST schools don't do checks on students entering or leaving schools

No kidding but I think the main difference is that nobody owns a bb gun without the intent to shoot it because it's a toy. I just imagine these idiots shooting at things out open on the quad or in the dorm hallways. They banned airsoft guns from the dorms my freshman year because all the dumbass football players were shooting people with them.

Yeah that doesn't surprise me. Football players get away with a lot of shit, so I guess it's not too surprising that they feel they can get away with this kind of thing too.
Must be nice to have a community that pushes things under the rug instead of demanding punishment for what players do.
Damn, I was right.
Oh, it's been my experience that the vast, vast majority of landlords are only in the business of renting out property for sheer joy that providing people with roofs over the head gives them. I have never heard of a landlord so much as think about trying to screw over its tenants by withholding deposits or sending them additional bills based upon damage (allegedly) done. So it comes as no surprise to me at all that this particular complex was overjoyed at the possibility of eating $4.2k in damage, and happily told Mr. Winston, "no biggie."
That bowl win over Alabama is really paying dividends for Oklahoma. I can't decide if I'm surprised by them getting three first place votes or not.
Tech's bowl win over Arizona State is paying a lot of dividends as well. Even though we're in the middle of the "others receiving votes" section I don't think we'd even be in there without it after the 0-5 slide to finish the season.
We are way overrated given our questions at QB.

South Carolina has more 1st place votes than Bama? The hell?

I guess Amway is an appropriate sponsor for college football, considering they also run a business where the people who do all the work barely get paid for it.
Sponsored by a pyramid scheme, no less.

Roll Tide! Ranked pretty high even though we lost our QB and several defensive players. Only a few more weeks until the season starts!
Ugh just saw Auburn was 5th. So I guess the Aurburn "fans" will come back from wherever they've been hiding since January. I mean the ones I know in real life I don't know if we have any real fans here.

Oregon has like 1 experienced starting WR, 1 returning member of the front 7 on defense, and they're #4.
It's like people don't even do research.
Also the link for that article takes like 10 years to load, I prefer this link that actually has the poll:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/polls/smg-usat/2014/1/
Of course they don't have time to do any research, though most of them have assistants fill out their ballots for them.

Pre-season polls almost always seem to be an extrapolation from the end of the previous season unless a heisman candidate just graduated/went pro then that team may drop substantially. Pollsters see that mariota is back, so Oregon remains near the top.

Yeah, new Quaterback, but it's not like we've ever been good there, right? Right?
Still have great runners, receivers, and perhaps they'll throw to that tight end guy.
Just need the Oline to hold up long enough to do stuff.
We'll miss CJ and HaHa (and I guess Vinny too), but there's so much talent all around, something's bound to work. Not like we got worse at CB. Same, maybe, but not worse.
But the kicking alone is why Alabama shouldn't be in the top 5. It was bad last year, and now, who knows what that situation is going to be.

Is our kicker gonna be the one that missed the FG against Auburn? But we've won with horrible kickers before. Hopefully Kiffin can get us TDs so we won't have to worry as much!

I don't remember the kicking from the spring game but I think he was a freshman last season and that was his first kick ever in a college game. Maybe he'll end up being pretty good. Really can't blame him for missing a long high pressure kick like that in a huge game. I hope he doesn't let misses get in his head like Foster did.
You'd have to ask an Auburn fan. I doubt any Bama fan has watched that fucking play more than the one time.

Just watched the replay. If it went 5 more yards, the kicks trajectory would have taken it just wide to the right, but only by maybe a foot.

The fact that they put LSU tickets smelling of "freshly cut grass" instead of corn dogs is terrible

Throwing to the TE? With Lane Kiffin as your offensive coordinator?

Behold the SECSECSEC couch
I see they put Alabama and Tennessee as far from each other as possible.
