Have we had enough time to get a feel for how the Conferences will shake out?

[della]

I think we have and the SEC looks like a three team race:

The SEC

Tennessee- Talented and deep

Auburn- explosive and talented

Filthy bammers- Balanced and impressive

What about the other conferences?

 

[Boilermaker03]

Big Ten

Purdue - talented but need to limit mistakes (turnovers have become an issue and D needs to improve)

Minnesota - not sure where they will finish but they've exceeded everybody's expectations.

Ohio St - talented squad, will most likely finish top 3

MSU, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin - decent squads but how they will play out is hard to determine. There seems to be a decent amount of parody this year.

Indiana - could be much better than years past but need to learn how to not shit the bed.

ACC

Duke - Substantial advantage

UNC - Might be better than people thought they'd be

WF - I have not seen these guys yet, but I have seen almost everyone else

FSU - Will improve

FSU needs to get a move on it if they are. They just got beat by SCAR.

BIG 12

10 Team race

BIG 12

10 Team race

Two things:

1 You need to trim your moustache.

2 You need to narrow it down to at least 5 teams.

Okay, let me finish this Baylor game and I'll give my 2 cents

 

[WestTexasRaider]

1. Baylor - How are they still this good after last year's Turnover? Drew has them rolling. Defense might be better this year over last year's even. Not the scorers though.

2. Kansas - Only seen them play once so far. They just look solid. Probably will be the one to compete with Baylor for the tip.

3. Iowa St. - I'll put them here for now because they have the more impressive wins. How good are they, we shall see!

4. West Virginia - Good wins and another solid team. I'll be interested to see how they do once conference play begins.

5. Oklahoma - Just solid. They have some good wins already and will compete.

Texas Tech, TCU, and Texas look okay so far and may be contenders but they haven't done much yet.

Okie State and Kansas State both look like they will be in the lower half of the conference this year.

How do you see the SEC/Big12 Challenge? Of course you know Tennessee is kicking Texas ass, so y'all are already down one.

It is hard to write good things about the ACC. UVA probably runs 3rd.

It's been a massive fall for the league and I don't think you see some kind of immediate recovery. The league sucks.

I don't know much about the ACC other than what UK fans tell us and they are eerily silent and scarce these days. So, why does the ACC suck?

Is this a question about specifically this year or looking back and ahead as well?

The question is totally directed at your previous post.

 

[Tigerocker]

LSU is the only undefeated team in the SEC !

LSU is the only undefeated team in the SEC !

But, they are not in the top 3 of the Conference

You said "UK fans tell us and they are eerily silent and scarce these days." Which ones are you talking about?

Could be worse they could be on probation like Pearl at AU.

Wade did far worse than pearl. They just hand announced LSU’s punishment yet

They will be if the NCAA ever wraps up their 73 year investigation.

Lol the NCAA is a joke.

I agree. LSU will likely get the meaningless probation thing as well

 

[Tigerocker]

Wade didn't do anything worse than all of the other coaches are doing. He made a rookey mistake. Pearl should know better he's a seasoned veteran.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Pearl should know better he's a seasoned veteran.

That's why he's so good at it. Just imagine all the shit he's gotten away with compared to what he's been busted for.

Shake out means, how things end up. LSU has not played the level of competition to be considered top three.

You said "UK fans tell us and they are eerily silent and scarce these days." Which ones are you talking about?

I said, "what" UK fans tell us. I also said, "they are eerily silent. silent means they aren't speaking about it so I'm seeking another source.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Della.... I am asking you what UK fans you are referring to that are "eerily silent and scarce these days."

Kevin, if you must know it was me taking a little jab at the fact the some UK fan have dropped off on the board this year. But, to answer the question as asked, the ones that are silent. 😜

Which ones have dropped off the board? My memory is not good. Seriously, my memory is really, really bad.😆

 

[coryfly]

I think my top three in the SEC would probably be Alabama, Auburn and either Arkansas, Kentucky, or Tennessee.

Bert, Scottie, Jarms, JC3,Crazy, CB3, and others. The season is almost 10 games old and we haven't had the pleasure of one "Blueblood thread". I feel cheated!

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Yeah, I think Bama is clearly the best right now. Then I would lump Auburn, Arkansas, and Tennessee in a group behind them. Then probably LSU, UK, and Florida probably somewhere after that.

Arkansas just lost to an unranked team by 20 and UK hasn't beaten a P-5 team and lost to one with a losing record, but it's your top 3, so carry on.

Yeah, it is so early it is tough to really know. League play is going to be really good in the SEC I think though.

They'll probably beat each other up to the point that they'll have few (if any) top 10 teams, but a bunch in the 11-25 range.
