SEC dodged some bullets today

[upperdeck]

Auburn had no business winning
toledo knocks off arkanas
florida losing early to ecu
tenn better hold on vs OK up big at the half.

Overrated - as always

Outside two or three teams every year they have ZERO business having ten top 25 teams

 

[upperdeck]

mizzu down early too.

Hate the SEC - but it's not that shallow. Look at what Ole Miss put on Fresno today - 73 points? Wow. And Tennessee looks strong.

 

[Briancuse]

I was hoping Jackonsville st could pull it off, Auburn's qb stinks.

 

[Whitey23]

Toledo!

Ole Miss v Bama must see

 

[DeGrozz]

Eh... We saw the same in Big East hoops years ago.

Strong conferences get the benefit of the doubt. They'll still have a few teams in the playoff hunt in November.

Auburn should be 0-2. Louisville should be 2-0. And ND should be 1-1.

All I care about, though, is that we are 2-0 and a couple of big time receivers away from being a true offensive contender in the ACC.

 

[upperdeck]

cant imagine the headlines if all these games had finished this way. USC losing now too. they could have had 4 ranked teams lose today

 

[Briancuse]

The sec had a tough day, Ten had a chance to regain some pride, and they really crapped the bed.

They are still the best conference top to bottom by all objective measures. They are under a microscope for some reason after 2 weeks. Arkansas has finished last in their division the past two seasons. Ranking 10 in the top 25 was probably too optimistic; eight or nine is probably more accurate.

They only have three losses outside the conference. Tennessee (an average SEC team) got beat by a good top 20 team and another came from Vanderbilt the absolute worst team. Again, the third was from a team that has won 4 total conference games in the past 3 seasons.

The ACC has 12 wins against FCS teams already compared to 3 for the SEC (which is the least "cupcakes" for any conference so far).

Anyways, it's only 2 weeks so we'll see in a few months.

SEC always has their FCS week on the 3rd week of November.

They put themselves under the microscope, they are always the ones always saying how much better they are than any other conference. And yes they're usually right but that brings a lot of unwanted attention when things aren't going so well

I just wanted Auburn to lose on Coach Mac day. And I'd like to think Pat Dye was suffering from explosive diaherria while attending a public function.

I will say this, the sec schedule is such a grind, they need that break.

But, is it really?

They don't venture out of the south and justify beating each other as reason for it

As someone else said, the Big East of basketball
