College Football 2010

Jacory Harris.... he DID know that the U was wearing white, right? Wonder if Cam Heyward has caught his breath yet.

That's just typical Jacory

[Hilltopper39]

Looks like this season will be no different than the previous few, someone from the Slow 10, the Soft 12, or the FakeCC will wind up in the national championship and get blasted by an SEC team, again.

[Jew]

^Outside of Alabama, the rest of the SEC sure doesn't look all that great at the moment. Oregon can probably outrun all the teams in the SEC right now too.

[Hilltopper39]

Yeah Oregon does look really good, Stanford too. I think the Pac-10 is a very underrated conference, out here in the Eastern part of the USA they don't get a lot of press because the games just come on so late that no one watches them but the Pac-10 definitely has some good teams.

Give the SEC a few more weeks and they'll have it together just like previous years. Florida finally put it together in the second half against a pretty talented South Florida team, Auburn and Miss. State both looked very tough on Thursday night, Arkansas is explosive and can score a lot on anyone, LSU had a bad second half against UNC in week 1 but looked really good against Vandy . Kentucky and South Carolina both have really good looking teams this year too.

In the past few years the SEC has had 2 or 3 really elite teams at the top and have been a little more average in the middle and the bottom of the conference. This year I think Bama is the only real elite team, maybe Florida or LSU in a few weeks, but the conference is very deep with 5 or 6 really solid teams below Alabama. Everyone in the SEC with the exception of Ole Miss and Vandy could compete with anyone else in the country in my opinion. Maybe not win, but compete. i guarantee you Ohio State would have rather played Miami than Auburn or Florida, and Oklahoma would have rather played Florida State than LSU or Arkansas.

JACCORRYYYYYY WHYYYYYYYYY

 

I'm excited about the defense, though. A lot of good to pull away from that, especially if you look at it through a 'the quarter back was playing for the other team' lens.

 

In other news, the Bucs won. Even though it's Cleveland it's nice to get the first win in week 1. And McCoy and Mr Price beasted on Clevelands O line

 

*Edit --

Not to defend his terrible performance that led to a loss, but some of the INT's weren't completely his fault. He was missing all day, but the play where Benj posted to block the defender.. not his fault. But like I said before, no excuse. There is just no way your team has a chance to win when you turn the ball over like that.

^I think Jacory's noodle arm has a lot to do with the confluence of interceptions he's thrown the past two seasons.

Take two plays away and it would have been 36-10.

 

Tressel should have put up more points. Was very kind at the end, something I KNOW the U does not do.

 

Go Bucks. Fear the vest.

[Skycoastin Steve]

Florida and Alabama are each one win away from yet another undefeated rumble. Bama's got a test on the road at Arkansas this week while UF can take it a bit more easy against Kentucky at home. The game in Tuscaloosa is going to be a war.

Yeah, I think you'd be very hard pressed to find very many people put money on an SEC team other than Alabama against Oregon. I'll take Oregon over Florida any day right now. They already man handled one SEC team (albeit Tennessee) on the road this year. Ohio State doesn't exactly look too bad either. I would put my money on Ohio State over any SEC team other than Alabama right now, too.

[CoasterGuy06]

It was good to see Mr. Heisman Mark Ingram back this week with 151 yards on only 9 carries. Doesn't look like he missed step with his injury. Never thought I would see the day where Alabama would put up over 60 points.

[Skycoastin Steve]

^Um, Duke.

I won't argue with you until U of F gels. That said, U of F had better gel in the next 2 weeks.

[AllenA07]

Ok I'm going to come out and call it, UCLA is going to beat UT by a touchdown this weekend.

[CoasterGuy06]

^Um, Duke.

They are currently only 3 spots ahead of Miami OH in Sagarin's current rankings. It was also the first time since 1991 Alabama had done that. They tend to not play for style points unlike some other schools out there.

[Skycoastin Steve]

^It was still Duke. If you had put up 62 on Penn State, then I would have been impressed. Come back and brag after you guys beat Arkansas this week, at least it's a worthy opponent.

[CoasterGuy06]

Penn State is more worthy than anyone Florida has played so far. The goal of that game was not to embarrass Joe Pa.

Duke is a basketball powerhouse and a football conference dweller in the ACC. Their record this decade is 19 wins to 99 losses and three of those seasons were winless.

 

I'm actually surprised BAMA didn't score over 100 against the Blue Devils.

[paiging_jen]

^ That would have actually impressed me.

Ohhhhhh I see.

[Saldek]

^ That would have actually impressed me.

 

I really think they could've racked up a bunch more points on Duke, but they kept it respectable. Duke football wouldn't be good playing in FCS.

Yeah Larry, you notice I said "right now". We've been off to some pretty good starts in the past just to have it all fall apart by the end of the season. I am actually kind of nervous about this weekend at Arizona State just because it's the first conference game, on the road and a game they should win easily. Those are the scary ones. Plus, as any Gator fan would know, you tend to get the oponents best effort when your a top 5 ranked team. Everyone wants to be the one to knock you down.

[FeelTheFORCE]

Wow, Tino Sunseri sucks.

[AllenA07]

Ok I'm going to come out and call it, UCLA is going to beat UT by a touchdown this weekend.

 

Or by three touchdowns, either way I'm pleased.

[slither37]

UCLA beating Texas at home was a shocker. Great win for the Bruins.

[no_brain_er]

I would love if UGA won against Colorado tonight. But, seeing as how we have an impressive (cough cough) three-game losing streak, I don't see a victory in the forecast. It's unfortunate, really.
