Before you say "I hope all other SEC schools lose", etc. , and for the health of the conference and what will ultimately help YOUR school's national perception, there are a number of important OOC games for this upcoming season.

These are the top 10, in order...

1. Auburn - Clemson
2. Bama - FSU
3. UGA - Notre Dame
4. UF - Michigan
5. aTm - UCLA
6. UT - Ga Tech
7. UF - FSU
8. USCe - NC State
9. LSU - BYU
10. UK - Louisville

How is Georgia vs a 4 win ND team bigger than UF vs Michigan, two top fifteen teams?

Didn't think this through at all did you

You are correct and I meant to swap before posting.
A win over a B1G is more important.

I would say Arkansas/TCU should be there due to the Big XII matchup.

I take this list as potential losses...otherwise it makes no sense.

Either Arky is expected to Win again or we are relevant enough for this conversation. I'm going with the former because UT and USCE are irrelevant to the East in 2017

The list is in order of importance of winning for the perception of the conference.

Eta: I would have included the Arkansas game, but the Big XII is down and a win over a team in that league is not as big, IMO.
But then again, beating BYU doesn't do much either.

A win over BYU, NC State, GA Tech benefits you no way by winning. SEC teams are suppose to win those. If they lose, that's where people will say the SEC is overrated

I can't believe Michigan is a top 15 team.

Teams I'm pulling for.

No offense Florida, but Michigan was my team growing up. I almost went there, but opted for State last minute.

Tired of Bama.

I hate Auburn.

Let me get this straight, you went to Mississippi State over Michigan for college? My mind is blown at the decisions some people make.

But losing to BYU would sure matter, and thus, LSU beating them is important for the conference. LSU losing to BYU would look way worse for the SEC than Arkansas beating TCU would look good.

Well, there were a ton of determining factors that went into that decision (none of which are your business), but almost 20 years later I can still say I made a great choice.

But, by all means, flame away for no reason.

I always pull for SEC over OOC. I would say UGA, LSU, and UF have the most pressure to win.

UGA because it's Notre Dame.

UF because of Michigan's obnoxious coach.

LSU because they would have no excuse for not steam rolling the mormons.

i would replace UT vs GT or USCe vs NC state with USCe vs Clemson. A USCe win over Clemson would be bigger then the SEC winning both of the other games where the teams are evenly match. If TCU is one of the top teams in the big 12 then there game against Arkansas could be above UT vs GT or USCe vs NC too .

He didn't make a decision.

He rooted for Michigan growing up because all the teams in Mississippi suck arse. He put all his eggs in his basket by talking about what a huge fan of Michigan he was in middle and high school so he told people he wanted to go there. But in reality he could have never been accepted. Michigan is a damn good school. Even if he could have been accepted, his trailer dwelling white trash family couldn't afford to send him there. Out of state tuition and housing and travel to Ann Arbor for one year is several years worth of income to his hair dresser mother and welfare drunk father.

He probably could have gotten into State because it's one of the worst academic schools of its size in the country, and had very low acceptance standards. But I honestly doubt he has more than a semester of community college under his belt IRL.

If somebody is dumb enough that they think anybody would actually believe that somebody with a real oppurtunity and means to attend UM-Ann Arbor would willingly choose to attend Mississippi State in Starkville, that's evidence that person isn't intelligent enough to even make it at EMCC in Scooba.
