The Herman to OSU talk reminds me of the recruiting discussions where everybody busts a nut over some five-star who's clearly going to be better than the All-American OSU already has playing at his position. I've always been a pro-Herman guy, even when some were typing "mensa", but the scenario that I want is for Urban, who's 53, to be having so much fun deathstarring the fuck out of the college football universe that he coaches for another 12-15 years, wins another 5-7 national championships, and treats Herman's Longhorns/Trojans/Tigers/ . . . the way Tressel treated Dantonio's Spartans.

Pretty piss-poor start for the SEC as a whole. The Mississippi State and LSU losses were particularly bad. Of course Bama looked insanely good and Georgia had a nice win, but there were some bad losses and struggles against horrible teams. Then Ole Miss goes down tonight.
What I'm saying is I enjoyed the opening week.

I mean we can hope but he's a good bit younger then UFM. Meyer also doesn't seem like the type that wants to crap his pants in a rain storm while hanging on to his job. I hope for 5-10 years and the Herman takes over around Urbans current age to continue what Urban started.
Oh and SEC needs quarterbacks again

We are about to enter that portion of the season that frustrates me most from a polling perspective.
Never mind that BIG teams have beaten Oklahoma, LSU, Notre Dame and Oregon (preseason 3, 5, 10 and 24).
Never mind that the the SEC is 5-5 versus the power five and the BIG has the only winning record of any conference at 8-3.
Never mind that the SEC's six undefeated teams include a Tennessee team that beat App St by 7 and Ohio U by 9, a Georgia team that beat Nicholls by 2, and an Arkansas team that beat Louisiana Tech by 1.
Don't try to explain why the SEC has 6 undefeated teams but 8 that are ranked, while the BIG has 8 undefeated teams only 5 of whom are ranked.
We now enter that phase where every time the SEC plays a game in conference both the winner and loser seem to rise in the polls, whereas in conference BIG upsets are only proof that the favored team was overrated.
Joey Galloway of all people, when projecting his final four playoff teams, stated that it was a given that the SEC champ will be in the playoffs - a sentiment echoed throughout the ranks of the talking heads.
No logic required. It is the SEC and that's 'nuff said.

I honestly have no issue with an undefeated or 1 loss SEC Champ being considered an auto in for the playoffs. I would expect the same for the B1G champ.
Its the B12, ACC, Pac12 and ND that should have to fight for the last two spots in any given year imo.

SEC conference play is underway and as I suspected shenanigans are at play.
The same Arkansas team that beat La Tech by one dropped from 20th to 17th after losing by THREE TOUCHDOWNS. I can only suppose it would have taken 9 touchdowns to knock them out of the top 25.
The same Georgia team that barely beat Nicholls stays in the top 25 after being absolutely destroyed.
Texas drops one spot for being idle while Florida only drops 4 by embarrassing themselves in the second half against Tennessee.
Bottom line, there were 8 ranked teams in the SEC last week. This week four of them lost - and seven remain ranked. Every team in the SEC with fewer than 2 losses is ranked.
The BIG has 10 teams with fewer than 2 losses and 5 are ranked.
