    Thank god. Would love to see the SEC's top three teams go down to out of conference..... especially after A&M squeaked one out against Duke and Georgia fell to Nebraska.

    Georgia fell to Nebraska because there QB all year tore his ACL in the last game. That's tough.

    That was an epic choke job by Alabama. Definitely will affect their preseason rankings. I watched Trevor Knight play against Oklahoma State and he did NOT look this good. Barely was able to keep the offense together and Blake Bell won the game for them. Biggest curveball I've seen in sports in so long.

    Anything can happen in any bowl game when you have a month or close to it to prepare for a team.

    Skeet, Nebraska was missing Taylor Martinez out.

    All the SEC garbage is dying fast. 2 of their best 5 teams are 2 years removed from the Big 12.

    Im still rooting for Auburn despite the BS people who live for a conference instead of their own university.

    thats a good comparison, and he's faster than larry. he is going to be scary good in the nfl depending on who his qb and coordinator are.

    Sammy Watkins reminds you of Larry Fitzgerald?

    I don't see that comparison.

    I see Roddy White.

    White is a fantastic WR, but he doesn't possess the playmaking ability of a Sammy Watkins.

    In college he was a pretty big play maker. Roddy is pretty damn good.

    Fitz is just so much bigger, stronger and runs unbelievable routes. He doesn't have Sammy's speed.

    He's like a better version of Torrey Smith (whom I actually like a lot).

    speed, strength, jumping ability, quickness, vision, and effort are all oustanding. you can compare him to all 3 of those guys in certain areas. he is going to be special. talent just jumps off the screen.

    I kind of think he is more like Julio Jones.


    Great game. Congrats to Clemson

    Charlie Strong may be the new Head Coach of Texas Longhorns. One source said that he will be.

    HUGE props to UCF for finishing in the top 10! It's good for FSU and UCF to carry the torch for Florida while the :theu: and UF are in a down cycle.

    Florida has a Big Four!

    Florida has a Big Three! USF and UCF are in the same boat. Takes more than a good year to be considered in with FSU, Florida, and Miami. Great year for UCF tho.

    :lol: UCF finished at #10. It's in the history books, and nobody takes that away from them.

    And while they took a considerable leap this season, this has been coming for years now with steady improvement plus the inevitable down cycles. You know; like the one the gators are in.

    Again takes more than one good year. What makes FSU, Miami, and Florida great is staying power. They are almost always close to the top. UCF needs to continue to have great seasons to get in the conversation. They also played a pretty weak schedule as well.

    It should have happened! Instead, I'm left thinking @ Virginia a few years ago winning on the final play of regulation is the "biggest" win they've ever had (MAC title game not withstanding).

    I honestly wouldn't consider any of those teams amongst the consistently elite teams in the BCS era, good runs? Yes. But look no further than the last 2 seasons for programs like UF, UM.

    I don't disagree with you. No one was really dominant. If any of the Teams it was Florida but they had there share of bad years. I am just saying they're the 3 dominant teams in FL. Florida went 11-2 year btw. That's not a bad season.
