College Football - Week 7 (Oct. 11)

[NOLA]

Even still, our SOS is 55 spots higher than ND's.

24, because ND plays FSU next week, and Mississippi has already played Alabama.

 

And since you still haven't really gotten the point, I'll spell it out: eliminating the possibility of a team being good because they struggle, or they "haven't played anybody" (when your definition of "anybody" is apparently simply the SEC West) is sad at best and hilarious at worst. However, that SEC smugness just shines through as soon as some other team is considered good.

Your premise is that the SEC West is overrated? Ok.

Defending Notre Dame by throwing "smug" out there is good stuff.

No, the premise is that other teams outside the SEC might actually be good, but the SEC blinders are so heavy, you can't see that.

 

Oh, and I'm an Illinois fan, you biased fool.

 

Can you not see the hilarity in the statement that FSU beating ND next week (which hasn't happened) is somehow meaningless because ND barely beat UNC, so neither team could be good?

[NOLA]

Of course, they wouldn't be playing UNC or Indiana, since the schedule is too full with Memphis and Florida Atlantic.

Hard to believe people still blindly make this argument.

Hard to believe the SEC nuts still can't fathom the concept of a team not in the SEC actually being good.

This is made up. The strength of the SEC this year isn't in a superteam or two like year's past, but in it's solid to great depth. Oklahoma, Mich St or FSU would give any SEC team a run.

No we do, just not Notre Dame.

Biased fool? Settle down trigger. I was responding to you defending ND's game today. Jesus, I hope you're drunk.

[Derwood]

What's with all the video game scores today?

[Andy]

Not at all surprised ND struggled a little. Very surprised they struggled as much as they did.

 

Game was closer than it should have been. Golson handed UNC 21 points with turnovers in ND's end (10 turnovers in last 3 games). But the defense was still very poor even accounting for that. Not very confidence-inducing heading to next week.

Along with Baylor, TCU, Notre Dame, Oregon, UCLA, Stanford and Ohio State, really.

 

Actually, coming into today, ND's resume to this point looked better than FSU's.

[NOLA]

Maybe on Oregon, and I'll maybe grant you ND and Ohio St are in the discussion. I would have Baylor, but not after giving up those many points to TCU. UCLA and Stanford haven't shown me anything to suggest they should be mentioned.

[abuck1220]

Arkansas' qb is just horrendously awful. is he like a 3rd string freshman or something?

[Derwood]

Penn State is going to lose to a team with a QB who can't walk

I dont think anyone will notice...

[rawaction]

99 yard drive. I really want Ole Miss and Miss St in the finale for a playoff spot.

[OleMissCub]

99 yard drive. I really want Ole Miss and Miss St in the finale for a playoff spot.

 

There would be fatalities in this state if that happened. It's a really, really ugly rivalry but it was never of any real consequence. If it actually meant something...watch out.

About 95% of the reason I want to see it.

Not UCLA.

[Derwood]

ugh, this offensive line is the wooooooorst

[Ryne Ween]

Arkansas is giving the best teams in the sec west a run so there are many many teams including UCLA that could also.

[Cubswin11]

That fake FG call by A&M might be worse than the Saints fake punt call against Dallas 2 weeks ago

[sneakypower]

what is this unfamiliar feeling i have right now

[NewUserName]

I think people read too much into individual games. Best to judge teams on the bigger picture.

 

Went to West Lafayette today. I have enjoyed my trips there in the past. A little sad to see the lack of fans, because the fans have been great in the past. Looked for the John L Smith clown car after the game today. Trying to find something to explain what MSU has been doing in the 4th quarters the last 2 weeks.

[SouthSideRyan]

Huge shock, the Irish aren't good. Congrats to FSU for not having to play a single decent team all season.

Was thinking it had been a while since there was some blatant SEC snobbery in the thread.

 

Our high ranked teams wouldn't be squeaking out a win against UNC, the same team that gave up 29 to Liberty.

 

Mississippi State beat UAB by 13 points.

Less Shame?
