re: Rank the SEC Coaches (East & West)

Before the season, I thought Bielema should be in serious consideration for CoY if the Razorbacks became bowl eligible. However, your initial ranking is spot on.

I don't see how Arkansas can be that high in these rankings and Tennessee so low. At some point, Arkansas is going to have actually beat someone. Just like Tennessee, you can only have so many close losses before they become to be not as impressive. I'm not saying they aren't capable, but seems pretty odd to rank a team that's winless over 2+years in the top 8 in the SEC


This.
Congratulations, Aggies. Sumlin is the real deal and I am now terrified of playing y'all at Jerry World.

Very very fat
I always thought this photo of A&M was funny. During the summer of joining the SEC they decided to tack on 2 more national and conference championships.

quote:

Discount, not discredit. Especially if one was because the two teams in front were conference championship banned while his team had 8 wins (or was it 9?) and lost each one while averaging ten wins a season over that span.


That was his final year, so he still had 2 straight leading into OSU's banned year. Regardless, you cannot "discount" or "discredit" a coach who has gone to a BCS bowl game multiple times by their BCS W/L record. If we're doing that, Bobby Bowden, Lloyd Carr, and Frank Beamer, are by definition subpar coaches.
quote:

Gene chizik would go to three straight bcs games if he coached in the B1G.



Here we go again with the hypothetical speak. A BCS bowl game is a BCS bowl game. Would you discredit Sumlin for going to three straight BCS games in the C-USA?
quote:

Stomped? The first game was won by 5 and only because the ball bounced the right way. The second game was in the wet cold when manziel had a shoulder, thumb, and ankle injury. Also, you know first hand (besides qb) that all of my comparisons are true based on your head to head matches. Also Bert hasn't shown he can win at all, with or without his own players.



Here we go with the hypothetical scenarios that don't change the fact of history. I'm sorry Manziel was injured, but you cannot discredit Chavis for coming up with a masterful game plan to stop Manziel.

Historically speaking, "Bert" has won and has gone to 3 straight BCS games (something Sumlin hasn't came close to touching) and I do think he will fix the problems at Arkansas by year 4. I'd be a fool to expect anything but growing pains the first two years.
quote:

Kenny hill > Jennings/Harris
Tamu running backfield = to LSU backfield, but we have the edge because of experience
Tamu wr > LSU wr
Tamu defense < LSU defense but by thanksgiving I and many other ags think the talent will mesh into an average defense
Tamu oline >>> LSU oline

What makes you think that you will beat us when we also have the home advantage?


This made me laugh out loud.. only an Aggie, who's coming off a disappointing season with the best player in program history, thinks they have a better overall team than someone who has stomped them the past two years.

As for the OP's question, I think it comes down to Ole Miss and Arkansas with Ole Miss first. I will start thinking of A&M seriously when A) Sumlin proves he can post results with his own players and B) when they stop underachieving.. McNeal, McGee, Johnson, Tannehill, Manziel come to mind, Aggies.
Serious speed, but dear baby Jesus our defense looked awful.
He was actually the WR and TE coach at Purdue and OU, respectively.. The only QB's you should mention with Sumlin are Keenum and Manziel.

For me, the jury is still out on Sumlin. Going 8-4 before Duke last year with JFF, Evans, Matthews was quite a disappointment. The past two stops, he's inherited his talent and I'm pretty interested to see how he does this year with more of his own guys.

I'm sure none of that made sense to Aggies and I'm about to get berated.
