Miss St wont stay ahead of TCU.. TCU won on the road; Miss St didn't.

Alabama might jump TCU. In fact, I expect it (and have no issues with it).

Apology accepted.....

Yeah. At this point no one looks like a sure-fire QBOTF.

As Cowherd said, MSU is 3rd in the Las Vegas rankings (Alabama is #1). You know, where actual money is being spent and asses are on the line. And there are 8 SEC teams in their top 25. So I guess Vegas is in on the CON-spiracy as well...

None of them do, but I'm a big fan of speeding up the process. Let 'em throw it. Let 'em shine, learn or burn.

At least Carr is getting a lot of attempts. He will get better because of it or they will find out he is not the guy.

We need to stop trying to create game managers.

I love Teddy, but take the gloves off (Well I didn't actually mean take the gloves off) [:D]

I agree, I'm as concerned about being wrong about Turner contributing anything positive, as it am about Teddy.

Really I still have a lot of faith that Teddy will eventually blossom, but your right Pete, let the kid throw now that we are pretty much eliminated. If he doesn't progress then we know we have to bring someone else in for competition for him.

College football at that level is all about money. Those are like preseason games that season ticket holders are forced to buy in pro sports. Ugly, but all the kids are doing it (unless they end up losing to the Dakotas.....). They also generally play a tougher in-conference schedule than any other conference most years, though you don't really know in any given year until it's over and you get some chance to assess conferences with bowl match-ups.

All that said, the abject hatred of the SEC in here is pretty weird. I guess it's no different than all the other conspiracies about the NFL being against the Vikings, coastal bias, etc. But year over year, the SEC is much better top to bottom than any other conference, and it's really not that close. And I say that as someone who lived in Alabama/the South for a minute and saw all the SEC psychosis up close. While that's weird,the lengths that otherwise sane people go to diss the SEC in here is even weirder.

Really?  You don't think it's complete and utter shit that teams like Alabama play teams like Western Carolina while the rest of the country is in the heart of thier conference play?  Like I mentioned a week or 2 ago, it's an extra bye week that never gets spoken about. 

It's basically thier dirty little secret.  Play a cupcake before the Iron bowl to rest your starters.  I just think that's BS.  I don't deny the SEC is the best conference year in and out.  That's not my point of contention.

The lengths?
A few discussions, a few cut and pastes, none of which can be disputed, is considered extreme lengths?
Ok then.
Maybe you just need to work harder.

The same discussions come up year after year, and every year wounded fans from the Pac 12, the Big Ten (12 teams), Big 12 (10 teams), ACC, etc, bitch about it, and almost every year they end up being the best conference by most subjective and objective measures. So maybe it's the shrillness of the kvetching and not the lengths; I apologize for the miswording.
