Notre Dame is a joke and will get exposed as always eventually. I don't think Baylor/Oklahoma/Michigan State are all that either. I honestly think the 5 best teams might all be in the SEC this year. But FSU will get a lot better during the year, as usual.


No way are 5 SEC teams better than FSU, Oregon, and Baylor

Do you have stock in the SEC?

However, the defense has dropped off even more than the offense

I would make any bet you want that 5 teams could not beat FSU or Oregon

But of course we will never know unless FSU or Oregon beat a top team from the SEC in the playoffs

The SEC is greatly overrated this year

In fact, I think all of college football is down this year. I have watched FSU, Alabama, Oregon, Auburn, etc. and I think that 3 or 4 teams from last year would beat ANY team this year

no real super powers this year

They could have easily lost that game to WSU and they may lose today to UCLA. I definitely think those 5 are better. And I'm not an SEC guy at all; I just respect what they've built as a conference. I think Baylor may be the best non-SEC team this year, at least right now.

FSU is just not a very good team right now but I do expect that to change. It's too bad their entire schedule is filled with cupcakes because then we could tell if they're good or not before the playoffs.

I wonder if they may now lose a game anyway with the rape coverup swirling over them all season. Remember, they only had to deal with that for a few games last year. I loved Winston before; now, not so much.

I do agree with you about last year's teams vs. this year.

Also, I find McCarron's comments funny

They sure shut him down when he dared to criticze Saban

McCarron was partly right. But Fran Tarkenton was dead on too; McCarron should shut up and thank Saban for having a career at all.

From everything I've heard McCarron is a grade A prick. This latest thing does nothing to refute that.

It does seem to me that there are more quality teams and more quality conferences than in the past. The NFL is drafting players from teams all over.

Very valid point. There is turnover from players leaving and younger guys have to step in and learn on the fly. In college their practice time is much more limited than the NFL.

I don't agree

I don't see a single team in the SEC as good as Auburn or Bama were at this same point last year

Certainly FSU is not nearly as good as last year and neither is Oregon

Sometimes you just have down years

This is a down year

When have you seen so many top ranked teams lose so early?

I hear ya, JC, but to me a lot of that is:

1) Schedule. More big games early this year.
2) Depth. There's more depth in the "top" teams this year. The SEC, for example, is deeper than it's ever been. MSU/Ole Miss have never been in the national title conversation. It's early, but both are this year.

58-58? The Big 12 still sucks. Refs also clearly want to give their conference a chance at having a playoff team also. Baylor's stadium is badass though.

You can certainly make that argument right now. They have already been tested, and passed. A couple more big tests coming up. They have to go to Tuscaloosa next month, and this years Egg Bowl may be one of the best games of the year. If "Good Bo" shows up for that one, that will be a great game.

This is what I was referring to yesterday. Sickening. Hard to believe nothing happened here, with this level of coverup. Reminds me a lot of the Roethlisberger coverup. Can't believe that has gotten completely glossed over over time. Just like Ray Lewis. Just keep printing money, football.
