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. 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.

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?

That...was a better start.

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

they don't have bosio Have you seen the Orioles' staff? He may have been the third best.

Wonder if it bothers the Orioles at all that Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop would have been their best two pitchers this season.
-
Illinois down 24 early in the fourth, no sense of urgency with two touchdown drives, clearly not interested in actually winning the game. Now down 10 with 2:52 to play, let's see if they actually onside kick.
-
Jesus, Wood. Got to either get that to Wondo 2 seconds earlier or put it in yourself.
-
Wicked goal by Valencia to pull even.
-
They were one of the worst teams in the league statistically last year and lost one of the two players they had that actually controlled the puck. I see them possibly last in the West this year.

I know you feel wronged, but I think calling it treason is a bit strong. lol I usually groan when people Cuse people's misspellings, but this one made me giggle. Wasn't that NC Cub Fan? Dammit it was. Serves me right for trying to be clever. That's no ex-Cuse [/NCCubfan]

Utah made two inexcusable defensive gaffes in a span of about 10 minutes.
-
Going by Sagarin predictor ratings (because it's at least unbiased, in contrast to the inertia of the polls), the top 3 and 7 of the top 10 lost or are losing today. Alabama, Oregon and Oklahoma were 1-3, A&M 5th, Stanford 7th, UCLA 8th, and LSU 10th.

That Jansen is so hot right now.
-
Remember when fans were disappointed with a .500 record and bowl berth? those were the days.
-
I didn't realize Soler was there too.

@jonahkeri Delmon Young has made the playoffs 6 straight years with 4 different teams.
-
A hot dog may be a sandwich, but it's definitely not a baseball discussion.
-
@jonahkeri One day the Astros will develop a hitter as good as J.D. Martinez.
-
@jonahkeri Going to be so amazing when Royals win the World Series & 29 teams play copycat by making terrible pitching decisions & constantly bunting.

@royalsreview 4 minutes ago Their bunts go over the fence. It's weird.
