It didn’t help that DJ Lagway was a total turnover machine. It’s like someone rolled him onto the field and flipped a switch and he started throwing the ball to the other team.

Hahaha!!! Something tells me you will be pissing and moaning the loudest should Texas lose a couple of games and just misses the playoff while some other team is taking the spot after playing a bunch of jv teams this season.

If the SEC had kept the number of league games played at 8 then there is absolutely nothing stopping schools from choosing to go out and schedule 4 of the hardest games they can schedule and then play an SEC schedule on top of it then nothing was stopping them from doing it. Nobody ever said that the 4 OOC games any SEC school plays had to be against the little sisters of the poor. Forcing a 9th conference game on everyone though means half the league will lose an extra game. If the schools that would be playoff bound any other year happens to lose that extra game then the SEC is giving away playoff slots to the other power 4 leagues that plays in leagues nowhere near as difficult as the SEC. So the SEC would be potentially giving away extra playoff slots for absolutely no reason because the playoff committee really doesn’t care about SOS. It’s more concerned about Wins and losses. Nobody wants to watch SEC teams beat up on cupcakes. Putting every team in the league through a meat grinder for no reason and possibly giving up several playoff spots every year when there is no value with the committee is totally dumb and stupid. It serves the interest of everyone else in college football and not the SEC and its member institutions.

Cupcake weekend was always terrible and boring. It did serve a purpose though. It allowed coaches to kind of manufacture a mini off week by getting a big lead early and then pulling the starters and resting them and allow young players to get some snaps and develop. The games were terrible and boring but at least they served a purpose. There is no purpose in making SEC schools possibly risk losing a playoff slot for absolutely no reason. The only purpose that does serve is to help ND and the other power conferences achieve more chances at the playoff for doing far less than SEC teams.

If he is eligible to go this season and wants wants a chance to be the number 1 pick in the draft then he had better go this season. I think Jeremiah Smith is eligible to come out after next season and I would be shocked if he wasn’t the number 1 pick. There may be teams trying to make a trade to get him.

Which team drafts each player could play a large factor. If Cleveland drafts either one then they are both done before they start. If they could land in a spot where a good offensive minded coach has them early and can teach and develop good habits into them early then they both could go on to have good careers.

They were that shite team last year. Give them a little credit where it is due. Not having Sunbelt Billy on the sideline looking like a deer in the headlights is an automatic improvement.

It looks like you guys made a huge steal at the end of last season. I think Sumarall was set to go to Auburn until the AD at Auburn completely screwed up the deal and that allowed Florida to swoop in and get him.

Am I the only person that still finds it strange to hear a football game involving Vanderbilt described as a “must win” lol?

The coach for Indiana was talking the other day about how people have criticized the Indiana schedule for being weak early. He said that they needed those games though because they had a lot of new players and it helped having those games to get guys ready. I about fell off the couch laughing when I heard him say that. Like most of the SEC wouldn’t have loved to play a bunch of cupcakes because they had new players too. We pretty much had to start playing ball immediately down South lol.

I was thinking earlier about where the easy games were this year. There are hardly no breather games this year. Everyone looks like they have enough talent to take out anyone if the other team doesn’t bring it. Moo St looks improved. Vandy isn’t the Vandy we all grew up with. Outside of probably Arky I don’t see many sure wins on any SEC schedule this year. This may turn out to be one of the craziest years in a long time.

Pete Golding is known for being undisciplined in the secondary. PI flags left and right usually. His defenses usually bust a lot of coverages as well. I kind of like Florida in this game with OM coming off a huge win.

I agree. Nobody wants to watch a 55-0 bloodbath. However like I said it’s all about the playoff now. If a team drops a game because they had to play a incredibly hard schedule while ND or Indiana didn’t have to play the starters for most of the second half all year because they played a nothing schedule then it makes no sense to ask SEC teams to go through one extra week of SEC football with absolutely nothing to gain out of it.
