Texas won this one with the Texas fan in stable condition and the Oklahoma fan in critical. /"\

But really... The season can't start soon enough!! Every time I talk about us being good we lose. So I won't say anything other than BOOMER SOONER!!!!!

3,4— if USC gets a foothold in the SEC east as a school to make your name in, and starts winning recruiting battles with UGA and clemson, it'll be all over for clemson for another ten years. I'd give USC less than a 50/50 shot of pulling that off tho.

I like VT's chances as always. They know how to win, sometimes it looks like the U and FSU have forgotten.

USC isnt even relevant, we cant play for a bowl game for another year, we get nothing for winning out division (if we do)
 
^He's talking about the SEC man, that USC is University of South Carolina.
 
speaking of USC (east) I think it's hilarious to see the Gamecocks QB, Stephen Garcia, reinstated back into the team after getting in trouble once again (DUI I believe, and I do believe he was arrested something like three times during the first month touching campus)

this Garcia kid has seriously been in trouble more times than a classroom of modern 5th grade boys, diagnosed with ADHD

he really isn't that good at QB. you'd think that he was some sort of CFB Adonis. but his reinstatement goes to show, that as long as you are the star player of your sports team, you will get preferential treatment and you will be asked to suit up once again

it's kinda crazy to see the SEC West possess the most preseason hype in the conference. they must have wrested that out of the SEC East's laurels, yes
 
^He means he picks them to play for the SEC championship in Atlanta ;)

I thought TN played LSU at home 10/15/11...I could be wrong but hope not. Looks like TN has a lot of home games 8 out 12.

you're my new best friend on BL. GO VOLS! Tyler Bray is apparently looking pretty good, hope he can keep his attitude in check. we're young. i don't think we have a place kicker yet. whatever, our out of conference schedule is weak as balls. if we can win those and have a few solid in conference wins, i'll be happy.

and I meant to post that and do more ranting and raving about the preseason Top 25 yesterday as well. it looks like I've been doing my fair share of ranting here, so I do apologize. however, this is an open forum and you're all just going to have to deal with it

let's take this Top 25 for exactly what it's worth, shall we? the answer is absolutely nothing, but I want to dissect some teams that I feel like that are on this list, that are going to either stink it up this year, or just brave the line of mediocrity. also, we have a couple teams that are ALWAYS on these pre-season lists, every year, that truly don't deserve to be there (every year)

first, let me look at the Top 5. we've got the Okies, Bama, Oregon, LSU, and Florida State

one of these teams is going to stink it up this year, no question. that team is Oregon. of course, being in the National Championship game last year means that your team is automatically in the preseason top 5 (unless you're Auburn and you lost virtually EVERYBODY). it is in my humble opinion that not only will Oregon NOT be in the Top 20 at the end of the year, they will not even compete in the down-year Pac-10

one of these teams is also perpetually over-ranked and loved by the media. that team is Florida State. FSU won't be too bad this year, but they will lose in their first couple weeks, badly to Oklahoma (ending their NC hopes). FSU will then lose to their in-state rival Miami (or is it Fla? either way, they lose). sure FSU might win the ACC, because it is a pretty weak conference, but that's about it. the media LOVES FSU

moving down to Number 6 we have Stanford. they will be okay and might compete for the Pac-10, but let's face it - they're not NC caliber here. there is a reason why the entire NFL was on former Coach Harbaugh's nuts - he was an amazing coach, destined for far greener grid-irons than the Stanford Trees could provide. I feel like we are going to see, this year, just how much of a presence Coach Harbaugh had when Stanford drops into mediocrity without him

now onto Virginia Tech. OMG. WHY? every single year they are hyped and in the preseason top 10. EVERY SINGLE YEAR THEY DISSAPOINT. Frank Beamer couldn't win it with Michael Vick, and he will never, I repeat EVER get an athlete of that skill set to play for him again. Frank Beamer will never compete for a NC. VT will stink it up this year

Notre Dame - need I really say anything here?

Auburn - they lost everybody. I don't think Chizik is going to be able to put the pieces together so this team remains in the Top 25 at the end of this year. no way. no how

I don't think Soon-to-be-Big-Ten Missouri is going to be all that great this year either

Georgia - they could do well, but recent memory says they will self-implode in the SEC gauntlet. is it amazing or what, that Coach Richt still has a job here? I would think that a true storied program, like UGA, expects far better than what Richt has brought to the table these last couple years there... I would think...

Texas - this is a rather high ranking for a team that went what? 5-7 last year? now I'm not one of those idiots that thinks the Longhorns are DONE; that Mac Brown is past his prime and that they will not compete ever again. RIDICULOUS. Ohio might be a football state, but Texas is a footbaw state at its best. they have millions of different power house high schools to chose recruits from. they truly do. I do wish Texas would stop threatening to leave the Big 12 and become independent. how many times has Texas made these teethless, empty threats? it all comes down to money, and if Texas was an Indy last year and they went 5-7 - they would have gotten NO CHECK due to missing a bowl game. even though they gloriously missed a bowl game last year, they still got a fat check from the Big 12. Texas needs the money, now way they are going General Sherman scorched Earth on us

Penn State snuck into the Top 25. how the hell did they get here? is Joe Pa a zombie yet?

can it be footbaw time yet??
 
it's the fucking Boz aka Oklahoma's Finest. his biography came out when he was 24, and he is an action movie superstar. if he says that the NCAA is communistic, I agree with this man. the opposite of communistic is Americanistic and he is one-juiced up slice of Americanistic opportunity
 
is it really this quiet in here? I can't believe the state of this forum, with less than a month away from college footbaw kick-off!

in the meantime, here is a bad ass tattoo on one Michigan State Spartan tackle Jerel Worthy, of a Spartan crushing a Wolverine underneath him

Hopefully this year the AQ question doesn't get beaten to death again. I'm pulling for UGA to just end Boise's hopes in the first game.

I'm interested to see how LSU comes out this year. I really don't think they're going to be dominant this season, but I guess we'll see. Right now, I think Arkansas is stronger than LSU.

I agree with you and I think the majority of college footbaw fans agree with you as well. can you please pull it off, Georgia?

for some reason, Clemson always makes me laugh. here is the official cover of the offensive playbook of the Clemson Tigers:

I think it speaks as much, or more, to Spurrier's lack of ability to coach any of the other players he's got for that position :\ He *needs* someone who knows his system to give him half a chance this season. And he HAS to build on last year's success without a drop off, or he may as well quit.

++++

Axl, I'd love to chime in on your top 25 analysis, but for the most part all I can say is "+1" for things. I was hoping you'd make some reference to how there are what, 6? 8? teams from the SEC starting off ranked. And that there are ZERO from the Big Easy ;) I wanted to do some research on how many start the season vs end the season as far as being ranked for each conference, but it bears out (in looking at the SEC) like last year started with 6-7 ranked beginning and end (not the same, as some fall out, of course), and the year before was 5-6 at beginning and end. Do I have a point? I don't think so, just babbling. Moving on, and counting down to kickoff.

Does Herbstreit keep a manservant just to ride piggyback on the sidelines?

Found this, figured ya'll could appreciate it Muschamp Intensity Meter Funny stuff.

Also, there's been noise about the NCAA raising it's APR for schools. This bit on bball (not this thread, I know) had me scratching my head a bit on SYR, and wondering wtf on tOSU and PUR being on the no-bracket list. Though, there's similar for football that would have kept the following out of bowls - Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisville, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Purdue, South Florida, and Washington State. Rules that make a difference, interesting.

On the ATM to SEC tip, we went thru the same shit pot in MAY-JUL of 2010. Same probable schools then for an SEC addition as we have now - ATM and...someone (most likely OU, IMO). I'm not going to dig up the same threads (what? why not? Oh man, TLB's losing his rep), but the conversation remains. I say ATM will come, probably announce this summer as I think they've passed their quota for eating Longhorn bullshit. I sincerely doubt the 'other' team would be FSU, CLEM, or GT, as they do nothing for the SEC. Questions abound on my Gators sites about going to 14, or 16 (and if 16, when)...along with 'who'. I'm just burnt from arguing with idiots who think uber-conferences would kill college football and the NCAA would be all over it preventing ATM from coming or any other such shit. NCAA let BigE basketball grow to 16 teams, didn't say boo about the last round of football conference trades, and won't do shit about anyone trying to change things further. I believe ATM will join, and someone else, but I ain't scared...it'll happen when it happens. Moving on. I think the Texas Longhorns have soured their conference to the point they'll be the only team with any national weight, and it will dwindle as their conference sos falls to shit. It'll be the "USC and the 9 dwarves" syndrome all over again, that is if they can keep 10 teams in the conference (not a given). Fuck Texas, they reap what they sow.

And, in closing, to quote a friend of mine
