Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

This week's SEC out of conference slate

Brought to you by NASCAR and Billy Bob's moonshine

Ole Miss vs. Presbyterian (Oral Roberts, Episcopalian, and Seventh Day Adventist said no)

Mississippi St. vs. UT-Martin

So they can rest their starters for a half and then get back to their EIGHT game conference schedule

    Why does it matter if you play a retard in November instead of September?

    At least they'll take a hit in the poles for doing this.

    They should promote the top 4 SEC West teams to become the new NFC South division.

    Getting these shitty games out of the way early would be ideal.

    It will affect them just as much as Oregon's victory over South Dakota affected them.
    Probably, but still...A late season cupcake looks worse than a preseason cupcake.

    No, it actually looks intelligent because it's basically a bye week heading into the gauntlet.

    It's intelligent to give themselves a rest. But it's not clever enough to pull the wool over the rest of the nation's eyes. Late season cupcakes look bad and deserve punishment, if everyone else is playing legitimate teams that time of year.

    The WSJ had an article earlier this week that said college football fans are the biggest shit eaters ever (paraphrased).

    It is the shortest season ... with the entire first month it is all big school vs. little sisters of the poor ... then conference games start and we get Oregon vs. Washington or anyone vs. WSU ... basically we get one good game a week and one or two worth it bowl games.

    In theory you are right. In reality, NO(that matters)GAF .

    Why? September is unwatchable without SEC conference games.

    Why?

    The committee is looking at the entire body of work. It doesn't matter when you play your cupcake.

    I guess. Seems like it might be that way.

    Miss State didn't play anybody until week 4. Their non conference schedule was worse than UW's.

    Southern Miss
    UAB
    at South Alabama
    UT-Martin

    Their TUFFest OOC game was a Sun Belt team that started football in 2009 and became DI-A last year.

    I didn't realize Mississippi State was the only team in the SEC.

    Because 9 > 8

    That's a different (and relevant) topic.

    However, as long as the Pac-12 always gives its teams at least one Big Sky school (WSU, Colorado) on the schedule, is the nine conference game thing really a strong point for the Pac-12?

    Meh, the SECSECSEC has Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Mizzou, and AnM (lolz). Not to mention perpetually overrated Georgia and South Carolina. Every league has its dreck.

    The SEC East is not good but even Vandy and Tennessee are better than the ass end of the Pac-12. A&M would blow the fuck out of WSU and Colorado.

    In case you haven't noticed, 5/6 of the Pac-12 North is worse than the SEC East.

    AnM 21, Louisiana-Monroe 16.
    Vandy 7, Temple 37.
    Vandy 21, Charleston Southern 20.

    I think Stanford is decent. Cal is bad-to-meh, OSU is bad-to-meh, UW is meh-to-decent, Wazzu sucks.


    I think Georgia is decent but flaky as fuck, Mizzou is meh, South Carolina is meh, Kentucky is meh-to-bad, Florida is meh-to-bad, Tennessee is meh (which is much improved for them), and Vandy sucks.

    Also, the lack of exposure to OOC makes it really hard to gauge the SEC this year. Bama played essentially a home game with WV, LSU did the same with Wisky. Miss State played a schedule Scott Woodward would be proud of. The only OOC that impresses me is Auburn beating K-State at K-State.

    Their OOC schedule is god awful. It's a joke. I've mentioned this before. ESPN never mentions it though.

    Which is exactly why the argument of being the best conference "top to bottom" is a load of horse shit.

    Win national championships or GTFO.

    That's a shit load more exposure OOC than the Pac-12 has. Not sure how another round of SEC West plunger rapes of the SEC East would change anything.
