I think this is a good stat to keep track of.

Tennessee goes down to Georgia State.

South Carolina loses to Carolina.

Auburn on watch.

Vandy is done.

Discuss.

Ole Miss loses to Memphis

Wyoming ahead of Mizzou

The SEC could have the worst record against the G5 of the major conferences.

Wyoming beating Mizzou 34-17 in 4th quarter

Feels good. I wonder what conference ESPN will slobber all over in their place.

Wyoming beats Mizzou

Damn MWC off to a great start

War Damn Eagle! Auburn comes back to beat Oregon led by true frosh QB Bo Nix. Huge win to set the tone for the season.

The demise of the SEC has been greatly exaggerated. Auburn scores the first signature win of the season. Great comeback.

Maybe. This is a PAC team.

Vandy equals Virginia Tech both losing in conference.

South Carolina equals Miami both losing to rivals and by 4.

Tennessee is slightly worse than Florida State losing at home to Boise in the heat.

Ole Miss has been down scholarships and quite frankly Memphis was better.

Missouri's A.D. should be fired for scheduling Wyoming on the road where they are tough on everyone.

The SEC is 2-1 against the ACC in the opening weekend and 1-0 against the PAC, where Auburn's true freshman QB found his confidence in the 2nd half.

The favorites in the West were L.S.U., Alabama, and A&M who all won in blowouts, and Auburn who is in the mix but not favored did well enough tonight against a higher ranked school with a veteran QB. Miss State and Arkansas survived opening weekend. Ole Miss did not.

The East has been weaker but the two favorites Georgia and Florida both won with Georgia winning on the road handily and Florida beating in state rival Miami in an ugly game. Kentucky survived. South Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri did not while Vandy lost in conference.

That pretty well sums it up. For what it's worth I don't think Alabama will win the West. I think L.S.U. will. And I don't see anyone matching up with Georgia in the East.

Tennessee was the true embarrassment on the day for the SEC. They were lousy in all aspects of the game including strength and conditioning and the mental game.

South Carolina had the talent to have won but Muschamp (name a big game he has won) played it way too close to the vest with an 11 point lead and the ball on UNC's side of the field after a turnover. Carolina found its confidence and Muschamp missed his chance.

Memphis and Wyoming were just better.

GO Pokes! #GOWYO

All valid points (although I wouldn't describe Tenn losing to Ga State as "slightly worse" than FSU losing to Boise State - I'd call that a whole lot worse.

Also, I'd like to think VT ends up being better than Vandy, but the jury's still out.

Another valid point. ACC fans have nothing to crow about yet.

Quote:South Carolina had the talent to have won but Muschamp (name a big game he has won)... missed his chance.

Perhaps your best point of all, JR!

Well as for Tennessee they haven't demonstrated that they are any good. We'll have to see how Georgia State finishes. Boise is always good, but the Noles had everything in their favor and as far as devastating losses go, both are.

As to your Hokies I have no doubt but what you will finish better than Vandy. B.C. has a solid defensive unit and this won't be the only surprise they pull this year. If their offense continues to improve they'll be a tough out for everybody in the ACC, except possibly Clemson.

I also noted that Syracuse took care of business.

My sarcastic note of the day was Maryland putting 79 on Howard. Quite frankly I didn't realize that Howard was still playing football at a level where they could even play an FBS team.

We don't need this thread. It gives poor people hope they will be invited to the club with a few wins.

The SEC had 6 losses in the regular season ooc last year. They had 4 in the first week and were 9 seconds from #5. And none of the ooc losses were by Kentucky, Vanderbilt or Mississippi St. and only 1 was vs. a P5. Some people liked Missouri and Tennessee to challenge for the SEC East title.

I would say the SEC had a great, almost historic, non-conference last season. They can lose more games this year and still have a good campaign, maintain their #1 status, and possibly get two teams in the playoffs again (though the chances of that happening two years in a row is pretty unlikely). As bad as today looked, the SEC still won the game that really mattered.
