Stanford Coach David Shaw Not Happy About SEC's 8-Game Schedule

If his team had to play 8 SEC games a year he'd probably be singing a different tune.

bullshite.

The fact is, the SEC will continue to pad its wins with lesser competition so it can send more teams to bowls and then tell everyone how tough life is in the SEC.

Keep deluding yourselves.

I hope the hell that this new committee judges the hell out of strength of schedule (and the SEC's lack of strength) and leaves a few SEC teams home. The cry from the deep south will be glorious.

8 SEC games is a tougher slate than 9 PAC-12 games.

Hey, Rob? Remember when LSU spanked PAC-10 powerhouse Oregon...twice? Remember when LSU spanked ASU in their home stadium? Remember when LSU spanked Oregon State?

We can have a cupcake game and our SOS will still be stronger than any PAC-12 team that doesn't schedule an SEC team out of conference.

PAC-12 is scared.

"don't back down from playing your own conference,"

Easy to say when you have 3, maybe 4, good teams in your conference. Especially when your team chokes against your cupcake conference teams

"Remember when LSU spanked PAC-10 powerhouse Oregon...twice?"

I don't remember that. Unless we are counting 1977.

bullshite.

The fact is, the Pac 10 will continue to pad its wins with lesser competition so it can send more teams to bowls and then tell everyone how tough life is in the Pac 10.

Keep deluding yourselves.

I hope the hell that this new committee judges the hell out of strength of schedule (and the Pac 10's strength) and leaves a few Pac 10 teams home. The cry from the Left Coast will be glorious.


asurob1 troll job....0/10

Remember when the PAC 12 won a BCS title that they got to keep?

Remember when the PAC 12 beat a top SEC team out of conference?

Yep...me neither.

Ah yes...SEC fan...self delusional myopic and not very bright. By all means continue to think that your conference is the greatest thing ever. Then continue to run from teams in your own conference cause you are scared.

What the hell is the point of being in a conference if you are unwilling to play teams in your conference.

The answer is there is no point.

And to LSU fan..still living in the past I see.

yeah...the SEC needs to win a few NC's before they brag...oh wait.


coming from pac 10 fan, this is kinda hilarious. thanks for the laugh

Rob, what in the Hell are you talking about? You loon...

I tried to think of an intelligent response to this,but the best thing I can muster up is....LOL!

Hey rob, cool your jets. You're getting all excited for nothing as your ASU won't even be in the discussion for a playoff slot. Save that frustration; you'll need it when the season starts.

Seems like other conferences realize the strength of the SEC. By mandating to play another conference, we arent backing down from anybody. If you think its unfair, schedule a game with the SEC and show them who is better, rather than wishing and hoping someone from the SEC will defeat another SEC team.

Well, PAC-12 fans before you criticize LSU for anything you should realize that LSU has beaten ASU, Arizona, Wasington, Oregon State, and Oregon. All in the past 10-12 years and LSU has beaten most of them twice.
Regarding the living in the past comment. LSU has played in 3 BCS Championship Games and won two of them. LSU last won the SEC WAY back in 2011. LSU just won 10 games last season. That makes it at least 10 wins in 7 of the last 9 seasons Miles has coached at LSU. Last year's LSU team ended the year by beating a Big 10 opponent (Iowa) in a New Year's Day Bowl. Living in the past? LOL.

Lots of deflection...yet not one poster can answer the question of the point of being in a conference if you are too afraid to play your conference foes.

as expected.

SEC fan is really afraid to see reality.

Oh, of all the SEC teams out there...I have always given the most props to LSU (thus the reason I haunt this place) they actually play the toughest of schedules OOC I have seen out of the SEC. Granted they still schedule too many slippery Rock Us...but they are far better then most.

He mad bro

asurob1, let's take some of the emotion out of it and look at the facts?

Awesome graphic Rebel.

Once again you avoided the question.

Why are you afraid to play teams in your own conference?

What is the point of being in a conference if you prefer to pad your record with easy wins.

We both know its about getting to the holy land of bowl games. At least admit it.

The facts clearly point out that playing 8 SEC games every year is much more difficult than playing 9 conf games in any other conference. At some point last year all 7 SEC west teams were ranked.

Last year, Oregon played 3 ranked teams all year.

The SEC faced 5 ranked in their bowl games. The PAC-12 faced 1 and lost.

delusional and myopic? lol
