    Reported for trolling. This is no different than me going on a Notre Dame thread and saying "ND sucks".

    Go for it. I can report every post you make because it's always trolling

    The national title team was a perfect storm. If you go back and look at the amount lost after that team, it's amazing. Title teams usually get depleted, but that team got decimated. They lost something like 39 out of 44 players on their 2-deep (both ways). They also lost their kickers. Not that it's an excuse, but it's not really comparable to what Bama lost last year. Sure, Bama lost 8 defensive starters, but they still returned 12 starters overall. Obviously recruiting for Bama makes it much easier and Chizik still has to prove he can hang in this realm. What will tell me a lot about this Auburn team is how they develop offensively and how they improve as the year goes on. If they go 7-5, but show competitiveness late in the year, I'll think the fire is off Chizik. Fortunately for them, 2 of their 3 toughest games in the SEC come in November. They host Georgia and travel to Tuscaloosa to end the year. They get LSU, Arkansas and A&M at home and if somehow they can win 2 of those 3, they will probably win 7-8.

    Stony Brook only down 21-17 to the Cuse

    I think they'll lose to either Arkansas or Vandy. At this point I would guess 6-6, but I could see 5-7 and I think 7-5 is best case scenario.

    I wouldn't expect him to be on the hot seat 2 years after a national title, but in SEC football patience runs very thin very quickly.

    That should be your top 5 in that order. The next closest team to Alabama in the SEC is LSU, and I'd put them at 38.
    Don't you have multiple posts in the OSU in game thread complaining how bad they were sucking.
  • Mulva
    Wow. UNC ended up making a hell of a comeback. Pass in the endzone broken up with 1:44 left and it looks like Louisville will win 39-34.

    36-7 Louisville. Not even halftime yet.
    That prediction turned out be close

    We got the win.

    Yeah, Louisville was only a 3 point favorite though. Didn't know that beforehand.

    I thought it was a toss-up, turns out everyone else did too.

    Way early upset alert: Wisconsin looks like garbage, and Utah St with a 39 yard TD Pass.
    Up 7-0 in the 1st.
  • ptown_trojans_1
    Note: Danny O'Brien at Wisconsin sucks.
    I watched him at Maryland, he was not that good.

    Utah St up 7-3 early 2nd.
  • Midstate01
    It couldn't happen to a better team. Wisky and butthurt beilema can fuck off
  • Mulva
    Danny O'Brien was equally bad last year. He transferred because he wasn't good enough to keep a starting job at a team that went 2-10 in arguably the worst BCS conference last year. He had more INT than TD. Dude sucks.
  • Mulva
    Also, Colorado might be the worst team in BCS history. Down 35-0 at home to Fresno State... in the first quarter. Lost to 1-AA Sacramento State and Colorado State (who lost their only non-Colorado game to a 1-AA opponent too) already.
  • ptown_trojans_1
    Wisky has had 2 3rd and 1s. And both times, Ball can't get them. Add to that, they miss the FG.
    I am loving this.
    7-3 Utah St.
  • Mulva
    They'll probably win by 30+, but LSU only up 21-14 on Idaho.

    Hey that 1-AA is defending National Champs North Dakota State!!!
  • ptown_trojans_1
    Utah St, gets another TD off an O'brien fumble.
    14-3 Utah St.
    And with MSU losing, the Big Ten is taking another one to the chin.
  • Tiger2003
    WKU is up 7 on Kentucky late in the 3rd.

    Oh OK then haha.

    41-0 Fresno State now. And driving again.

    SMH @ Wisconsin. A true embarrassment to the B1G
  • ptown_trojans_1
    Not so much an upset as just an example of how bad the B1G is, Ball St is up on Indiana 24-17 in the 2nd.
  • Mulva
    Danny O'Brien benched. Wisconsin wins now I bet.

    Well, they get a hold, and then 3 and out.

    I am loving this. Go Aggies!
