September let downs, check
Bad coordinators, check
Nice guys finish last, check.


Now all you need is some rape allegations by the football team and you'll have the Mike Riley hitting for the cycle.

Wash, rinse, repeat

Amazing group of talent.
Going to be very tough for anyone to beat.

But, it will be fun watching them run the table.

They don't take losing normally, well.
That one had to be an ass-kicker.

Can't agree more on Ohio State.
Faster, stronger, deeper, than anyone.
It's almost unfair. Unfortunately.

Status: offline 		Well wait a minute, according to an "expert", there's probaby 4 teams in the SEC East alone, who could beat Ohio State.
But maybe not because Urban Meyer is an "SEC" coach.
Which would make Nick Saban a MAC or Big Ten Coach, but he's not because he's had success at two SEC schools.

Gosh I can't keep it all straight anymore.

You want to crown them then crown their ass.

Status: offline 		I cant think of a college football team in recent memory that would be favored against this OSU team. They are as impressive of a group as I've seen in college in quite some time.

The most recent college team I think could run with them was the Miami team with Andre Johnson, Jeremy Shockey, Reggie Wayne and company that won in 2001. Nobody and I mean NOBODY outside of that team would have a chance. Not any USC team, not any Alabama nor LSU teams, not even last year's OSU team. Nobody else.

The CFP will make it a trickier road than the great teams of yesteryear had to navigate.

For those that haven't watched Fournette play, I encourage you to do so. He's really remarkable, talented and just fun to watch.

Some of the pundits I read compare him to Adrian Peterson. I really don't see that. He doesn't have Peterson's hard cut ability. He is explosive though. He reminds me a little of Dickerson. He has that long, graceful stride. Defenders know he's fast, but they still take the wrong angle. He doesn't catch a lot of balls in that offense, but I heard that some of the LSU players have said he has the best hands on the team.

I'm not entirely sold on him. We see a lot of guys come out of the SEC that look just like him and they turn out to be mediocre professionals (Trent Richardson comes to mind). He runs pretty straight up, which means he is going to take a lot of shots in the NFL. You have to be able to run laterally to survive in the NFL. He won't be able to run through guys on Sundays. Marshawn Lynch is about the only guy that has been able to do it for any length of time. Eddie Lacy has been dinged up since he came into the league.

I would take a dominant corner over anything. The Seahawks, Cardinals and Broncos would agree with me.

Maybe sprinkle in a S and a TE

I'd take a dominant QB. Numerous past Super Bowl Champs would agree with me. Hopefully Teddy can evolve into that.

Tarkenton, Marino and Moon were all vastly overrated, IMO.
