OP is spot on. Outside Bama this league is a joke. Not only this season, outlook for the future looks bad for everyone but Bama

Good thing Auburn and every other team in FBS have rosters of 85 scholarship players to fill those injury voids or else you might have an argument


Agreed. Apparently no one told the staff it was a good idea to get at least one more serviceable qb among those spots.

Appreciate your fanaticism, but reality is a bitch. You lost four games regardless of how!

Yeah, the SEC sucked this year. Bad. Auburn getting a Sugar Bowl bid is undeserving, IMO.


Auburn has looked as deserving as anybody else. At times.

Florida has looked as deserving as anybody else. At times.

LSU has looked as deserving as anybody else. At times.

Ten.....no. They haven't looked as deserving, ever.

The West has finally caught up to the East in ineptitude. The conference is a mess, right now.

Speak for yourself. LSU was 3 plays from possibly being 11-1. Top 10 possibly or higher recruiting class, I'm done pining over Herman and Jimbo. Orgeron will recruit with the best of them and put LSU in the playoffs very soon.


Let's see if we can play this. Georgia should have beaten Vanderbilt, Tennessee and GT. See? now we are 10-2 and we are going to the Sugar Bowl!

Except we are not 10-2 and we are not going to the Sugar Bowl and we shouldn't be going....just like LSU shouldn't be going.

This nails it, imo.

Every team except Alabama was an inconsistent mess. I do not know if that can be fixed in a year, tbh.

Ironically, all three of those programs need a very key ingredient to fix it. QB. And all three have struggled with that ingredient for a couple of years or more.

SEC will still send 12 bowl teams and will win 8-10 of them.

Yup, we have three who have started this year.

Add them together and you get about 2/3 of a SEC qb. And that is by adding 1/2 for White, 1/2 for JF3 and subtracting 1/3 for JJ.

Yeah, we need more than one guy to throw the ball to our backup kicker.

While there are of course a lot of factors, I have to be captain obvious here and say it's Saban's coaching that is setting Bama apart year in and year out, but especially this year. He has been so ridiculously methodical and has dedicated so much to preparing his players mentally. He never is satisfied or excuses mediocrity. And that is why he is such a great coach. He lives it, it isn't just a job to him, it's a role he is passionate about. It's always been clear the other coaches in the conference don't give off the same vibe Saban does.

UGA hired an assistant who didn't even run the DC, he was a 9 year secretary for Saban so speak for yourself.

It isn't just the sec, several two loss teams in contention for a playoff spot this year.

One of the most disappointing seasons that I could remember. Not just because of LSU, but the national landscape as a whole. That's what happens when you have the most potent dynasty in history. Not only does Bama recruit the best, they also coach the best.

Dude, please. Stop. This conference was terrible outside of Alabama. Can't even pump up out of conference victories for hardly any team. The SEC was shite this year including LSU.

I think after Bama there is a lot of parity.

We'll see how well the SEC is when they play the bowls.

Like most years we'll go like 7-1 and folks will say the SEC is the best or something when it really may not be.
