NCAA Football 2014 season

Our SOS played up to this point is higher than many teams, a lot of teams (Bama) get credit for teams they have yet to play (their only signature win is Wv and lost to Ole Miss). As far as the top 10 teams in playoff rankings, our S0S according to Sagarin is #7 out of those 10. So, get your facts right and stop showing ignorance, or trolling, or whatever it is you are up to these days.

FSU or another other team in the ACC couldnt finish at .500 in the SEC West. I think what you are missing is that Alabama, Miss St etc may not have played all of the top teams yet but they will. At the end of the season FSU will still have played N O B O D Y and their signature win will be against ND on a terrible penalty call.

FSU 's schedule is #40 according to this thing while Bama's is #6

Louisville, Miami, VT, GT, Duke (oh I tremble), Clemson, BC, Wake, NC, NCS, Syracuse, Pitt. Its a gfreaking joke. A donut shop of CREAMPUFFS.



BTW take your troll comments and other assorted insults to the PIT where they belong.

Do you sec guys realize that when the season all shakes out, Missouri could be the winner of the sec ... and would they then go to the playoffs ....
The same Missouri team that LOST to the BOTTOM team of the Big Ten (Indiana).
 
No...if Missouri lucked up and won the SEC, the SEC would likely have no playoff participant. Unless State is still undefeated and loses a close on on some fluke.

Missouri is likely out, no matter what they do from here on ....UNLESS everyone else loses a game or two more.

SEC is not that strong. This is not the SEC of a few years ago. You have three VERY solid teams. 'Bamas SOS is more based on legend of SEC past. There is NO WAY this SEC is as strong as the SEC of 3 or 4 years ago.
 
You have three VERY solid teams.
I would say there are more. You have State, Auburn, and Bama obviously leading the pack right now, but Ole miss is right in that mix healthy, as is LSU as there only losses are to the teams above them in the same division of the same conference.
Then there is A&M, while not like they were, and are probably the worst team in the division, but they are still dangerous.

Arkansas has had a tough time closing, but look at who they have played and lost to. They pushed the current number one and number 4 (or 5) Bama to the limit. Some may be down on the Hogs, I for one am not.

In the East, its a down year. No doubt. You have Georgia that pretty good, then Florida and Tennessee that are above average. All three of those are missing one or two keys to having a complete season. USC is just not that good this year, Missouri is Average, Vandy is below average.

That leaves Kentucky. I see them as a slightly less good version of Arkansas. But still better than they have gotten credit for.

At the end of the year, the end records might not speak to it as there will be losses everywhere, but they are for the most part coming at the hands of division members themselves. Unless ive missed it, only one loss for a western division member has been to a team outside of the western division. And it came to the (at the time) eastern division leader.

So, IMO the SEC still is the toughest conference to play in, and the West is BY FAR the toughest division to play in. Whether they compare to years past SEC teams is irrelevant, it is how they compare to this years other conference teams that matters.

Really ?
Your talking THIS year, right ?

IF this is an above Avg year for Florida and Tennessee, I'd hate to see other years.

Ohio State and Michigan State can play with every one of those sec teams and do quite well.

I didn't say this was an average year for either.

I said they were both above average teams.

Big difference.

It's possible I suppose. More likely for MSU than osu imho.

I personally think either of them would do well in the east, maybe even win it.

In the west, I'd put either fifth at best.
 
WVU knows the deal.

Bobby Bowden knew the truth as well and it remains the same today. He was afraid of the SEC because he said that he liked winning.

I think I heard an announcer this week state that the last time LSU played Alabama 40+ players from that one game went to the NFL. Someone here said I was ignorant? 40+ players in one college game, a regular season game went to the NFL. There is absolutely no question, no doubt that the SEC is superior to every other conference in college. How many national titles in the last 10 years? ANYONE saying anything different is the ignorant one. IMHO they should just hand the national title to the winner of the SEC and it should have been that way for years.

not in the WEST and that is what you and the rest are missing. The SEC will surely have teams that are down but there are consistently 4 or 5 that can take any other team in the top 20 EVERY YEAR. The dominance just rotates within the conference.

The ACC is such a joke. I remember past years when VT thought they could win the conferece they would schedule Bama in hopes that they could pull off an upset in the first game of the season and give credibility to the rest of their creampuff conference wins. But yet the SEC teams are criticized for doing charity work for the rest of these loser conferences by playing them when infact their SEC championship game is 9 times out of ten far more difficult than the national title game and even the loser of the SEC title game could probably beat the National title opponent.

FYI this is coming from someone who has lived in the heart of ACC country for 50 years and been inundated with their games and fans for my entire life. But it doesn't take much to face the truth. The football stinks and Arkansas who cant win a single SEC game would at least finish 2nd in the ACC losing to only FSU probably.

Vanderbilt or Kentucky? :D

Not all SEC teams are created equal...
Of course they arent.

On that though, the statistical doormat of the SEC, which is not Kentucky or Vandy, its Miss State, is currently the number 1 team in the nation.

How is that for spreading the conference wealth around? Lol
 
Give Kentucky a couple of years and they will contend for the SEC title.
 
NO ONE is going to convince me that the SEC is as strong as other years. The ONLY teams staying consistently "very good" is Alabama, Auburn and LSU...then there is a drop off.

I have no horse in the "conference wars" so there is no bias here... PARITY has now hit college football.
