This isn't really a well played game and Northwestern has a tendency to fade in the stretch anyway. Point is they were only highly rated because they were in the SEC. Anywhere else no one would have considered them as high as they got.

Not a good start. Northwestern's putting it to Miss State (weren't they another of the overrated SEC teams when they were beating up on the Little Sisters of the Poor early in the season?). Anyone else beginning to think maybe the SEC's opinion of itself (and ESPN's) is just a little infated? lol

I don't think there's any doubt Manziel will get better, First, he's very talented and appears to be smart. Next, their success will help in recruiting and he'll even look better surrounded by top level talent (not that A&M was lacking much this year). Finally, he has a good coach that...

Why not, they are student athletes, or at least supposed to be. It helps when you can recruit players who essentially have no business in college and would not be accepted at many other institutions. It's unbelievable how any of them can even flunk out with the low academic standards in our...

"lesser schools"? Not too arrogant are we? Seems both Stanford and Washington have national championships in their history and both rank higher academically of fbs teams than anyone in the SEC or Big 12 (with possible exception of Vandy), and Stanford is #1. As a long-time college football...

Nothing impassioned about it, just an objective observation. I'm not a Trojan fan by a long shot, but every SEC fan on this forum has an inflated opinion of the SEC and constantly disparages other conferences, especially if they are a threat to take a run at the national championship. This...

An undefeated "lowly" Stanford team, in deference to an LSU team that barely squeaked by a 1-2 team that was a missed field goal away from 0-3, ranked 119th in Passing 75th in rushing and 114th in points scored, and you're bemoaning their ranking? But, I realize you're an SEC fan and I...

It's at least a basis for analysis, not just unsupported opinion.

They won't drop off that bad. You forget that they have one of the best (if not the best) coaches in the country. He's gotten more from his players than anyone else and gotten 2&3 star recruits into the NFL. They also lost their offensive coordinator again this year and another couple of...

The extra team/game is going to hurt the wild cards who have done well recently. Having to use one of their top pitchers, which essentially makes them unavailable for the first series, will put them in a hole to start.

Not surprising. They lost a lot of talent last year (and experience). Their QB looks a little hesitant and for some reason they aren't utilizing his feet. I think their biggest loss was really Doug Martin (who I understand just beat out LeGarrette Blount for the starting spot with Tampa). I...

The Giants keep winning, but they're doing it with hitting (yes, hitting) and their pitching has really tailed off, mainly Bumgarner and Vogelsong (Lincecum and Zito are always a crapshoot anyway). Just curious if anyone else has noticed the pitching on their teams showing fatigue?

By a long shot. They also have the best coach who CU should have tried to hire. There just aren't enough brown bags to go around in this state this year.

Very entertaining game. Nice to see the Aggies get the win. They lost some heartbreakers last year.

Either MSU would have been considered to underperform or Boise considered to have performed above expectations because of the closeness of the game. So, if MSU moved up, then Boise should have either at least retained their status or even moved up with a stellar performance. If the ratings...

Michigan State is ranked 11th (from 13th) and was lucky to get out with the win, so a team ranked 11 positions below didn't hold up their end?. Michigan was never in the game and completely outclassed. Major difference. You were one that didn't have any problem with Alabama staying at #2...

You can't tell much from the blowouts or often the ones that should be blowouts, but many of the top 25 really showed nothing last weekend. Bama deserved it since they at least played a viable opponent and were impressive. LSU may have ended up dominating but I don't think they looked that...

Too bad the Giants who were largely responsible for that won't get home field until the series. ;)

Besides, I think anyone beating the Yankees should get and extra 1/2 game credit at least.:D

They can put all the Yankee games on there and Fox and ignore my Giants. I cringe every time the Giants are on either Fox or ESPN and I have to put up with their announcers that babble incessantly and detract from the game.

You really don't get it. Not talking about numbers, just the fact that there are good players all over the country and as usual, you have to make it all about the SEC. Guess what, there is life outside the SEC.

So, you get the top ranked teams, but never watch something like the MAC, or even some of the unranked teams in the MWC or WAC or Conference USA. You're missing some very entertaining games, especially the MAC which was really wild last year. My point is, that by not even paying attention to a...

3 more days to reality and the end of BS (except for the SEC types probably).;)

I'm curious about one thing. Do you SEC fans ever watch any football outside of your conference? Seriously.
