Default Official SEC Football Thread 2011

Five Consecutive BCS National Championships (Florida 06, LSU 07, Florida 08, Alabama 09, Auburn 10)

Half the conference ranked in the AP's Preseason Top 25

One division, the West, has more preseason ranked teams, including Alabama and LSU in the Top 5, then any other entire conference.

Talk of college football in the late summer in Dixie is as ubiquitous as mosquitoes and humidity. From work water coolers to church parking lots, college football fans in the South debate the intricacies of the upcoming season. And no where more than in the states that make up the Southeastern Conference. From Rocky Top in the Tennessee hills, to the Maroon Band of Mississippi State, to the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, to the Eye of the Tiger in Death Valley or the chomp in the Swamp.


The South does not revolve around the sun, it revolves around SEC football

Yeah Brent, our schedule is nuts. At least we don't have a good chance of starting the season 0-2 like UGA!

There are no easy schedules in the SEC. You could move six teams from the SEC to other conferences and they would win the championships.

Knowing Les Miles "win at any cost" theory, I figured it would take criminal charges before he would pull them from the roster.

I guess it's all in who you hate....This is NCAA football, not Les Miles.
Remember a little coach named Nick Saban? I don't remember Auburn holding Cam Newton out.
I remember FLA doing similar. But you are right. Those boys were gonna play til Les understood
that there was video. Who in their right mind does ANYTHING like that in a crowd in the modern world?
SOMEONE is gonna cam-phone it, if not everyone. JJ just showed how dumb we already knew he was.

But you know what I REALLY like? LSU playing a huge national power right out of the gate. Know
anybody with the cojones to schedule that kind of game out of the box? Season make or break for
both teams. We'll play our share of McNeese State's before it's all said and done, but LSU still
understands the magic and suspense of non-conference play, babay.

That speaks to the whole point that, in addition to having the toughest conference play, SEC schools schedule tough non-conference play as well: Georgia playing Boise State, LSU w/Oregon AND West Virginia (aka the unconstitutional state), USC & Auburn playing Clemson, and Florida against the Seminoles.

Ahem. Couple years ago, we smashed Clempson in the opener when Clempson was a lot of folks pick to be a title contender. Year after that we smashed Virginia Tech in the same circumstance. Lat year and this we got Penn State in the second game. Next year we're opening with Michigan. So yea, I know a team with the cajones to do it.

Let's get it on. LSU and Georgia best not let me down.

Indeed sir, I mistakenly didn't see Penn State in the SEC helmet schedule I was looking at due to their inconspicuous headgear.

As for LSU and UGA this weekend, I can't say i'll be actively rooting for Georgia but......
