We've gone too long without discussing the SEC

2015 Too-Early SEC Power Rankings - SEC Blog - ESPN

1. Georgia
2. Auburn
3. Alabama
4. Ole Miss
5. Arkansas
6. LSU
7. Tennessee
8. Missouri
9. Miss St
10. A&M
11. Florida
12. South Carolina
13. Kentucky
14. Vanderbilt

So if that plays out, your standings will be:

WEST________________EAST
1. Auburn___________1. Georgia
2. Alabama__________2. Tennessee
3. Ole Miss__________3. Missouri
4. Arkansas_________4. Florida
5. LSU______________5. South Carolina
6. Miss St.__________6. Kentucky
7. A&M_____________7. Vanderbilt


I think the SEC is a real crapshoot next year. The Teams ESPN has ranked #1-4 in the conference will all be breaking in new Quarterbacks. That can be a total roll of the dice. I'm also not buying Arkansas being better than LSU, Tennessee, or Missouri. Arky should be bumped down 3-4 overall slots. still behind LSU in the West.

TCU leads the 2015 Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings - ESPN

I can't see putting TCU over Ohio St in the pre-season top 25 for next year. No chance.

1. TCU
2. Ohio St
3. Baylor
4. USC
5. Oregon
6. Mich ST
7. UCLA
8. Georgia
9. Clemson
10. Alabama

And Jesus Christ, can we stop putting Notre Dame in the top half of the pre-season polls. #12 in this ESPN prediction. No fucking way. They'll be lucky to barely be in the top 25 at years end. In fact, I'd give them better odds to not be in the poll at all, than to be in at at years end.

Meh, Oregon has won 10 games minimum for the past 7 years. Mariota wasn't there for all of them. They'll still be good.

If mariota ends up going pro how does Oregon crack the top ten? All I saw last nigh was a bunch of track stars that only looked good when mariota was making plays.

Because that offense is the star, it makes all their Qbs look good. Mariota is an NFL bust waiting to happen.

Why isn't Texas in the too early top 25? WE ARE TEXAS!

That poll is way too reasonable, no SEC above 8th. Just about where that shitty conference should be ranked.

You know how much I hate Texas, but I'd put them in the poll before Notre Dame. And Notre Dame is 12. So dumb.

Just got back from the game. Wasn't that many Duck fans.

Thanks guys. This team just punched it to another level late in the season: beating #1, #2, the heisman winner and 2 finalists.

I'm pretty sure Urbz coaching job this season has to go down as one of the best ever.

It is pretty astonishing he turned the hardest and most important position in football into plug-n-play at a championship level.

Yeah, I'm a Notre Dame fan, and after the showing they put forward in the second half of the season, they shouldn't be ranked to start the season. They should earn their way into the rankings.

Now, that said, I do think they'll end up being a ranked team next year. Golson is not going to start at quarterback, and Zaire is going to be awesome, especially with Golson able to come in periodically and shake things up (if he stays, though I doubt he will). Another year more experienced, and not so many effing injuries - Notre Dame is a well coached team with decent recruits. They'll be in the top 25 next year, they just shouldn't start there.

Interesting news related to college football(from last year)

NFL Writers Association releases its all-rookie team for 2014

http://www.profootballwriters.org/20...ie-team-named/

Only colleges with more than 1 player on the team are all SEC schools: LSU(3), Auburn (2), Alabama (2), Missouri (2)

Out of the 27 total players, offense, defense & special teams, conference breakdown:

SEC - 12
ACC - 5(if you claim Pitt and Louisville, who weren't in the conference last year)
Pac 12 - 3
Big 10 - 3
Other - 3
Big 12 - 1 (and from TTech of all places)

I think the numbers will start to change from SEC to other conferences. The playoff system is exposing how weak the sec can be/is/level ground compared to other conferences. When you draft more players from one conference because of the perception that they are the best it makes the numbers favor that conference. The teams drafting high in the draft are the ones greatest in need at those positions, so the rookies are allowed to have an immediate impact.

It all goes in cycles. It was the Big10 for a while, ACC, Big East, now SEC. (not in any order) If anything is sure in college football, it's that the entire entity goes in cycles.

I will agree the SEC does pump out some beast rookies tho.

**Edited it to make clear my retarded message.

I'm not sure if this is a trick question, but... the two from Auburn is my guess. Tre Mason and Cody Parkey.

Lolololol.

One bowl season, where the SEC went 7-5, still third best behind CUSA and the PAC, and still ahead of every other conference, is suddenly going to change the fact that the SEC consistently has superior athlete because it consistently recruit superior high school players and develops them better due to a superior financial and institutional commitment to football? Can I have some of what you're smoking?

The SEC West shits the bed in the bowls and suddenly 15 years of empirical evidence goes right out the damn window. I swear you guys are living in a fantasy world.

And the fucking NFL draft is a crapshoot. Tre Mason was third on the depth chart the first 5 weeks. Mettenberger only played because Locker and clipboard Jesus got hurt. Guys playoff and super bowl winning teams take in the first two rounds usually step right in and start because it's those teams, the ones closer to winning it all, who tend to reach and fill needs.

Basically, you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
