I'd say the SEC is head and shoulders above all other conferences. They are like the super conference. Every single game in the SEC is the equivalent to a bowl game.

There are a couple of really good conferences this year, Pac-10 most certainly included. I may be biased in saying this but I believe the SEC is the toughest conference. Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn are all pretty good this year. Some of them need some work but each team has the potential.

Well, I agreed and I'm a OU fan, so certainly not biased towards SEC

Congrats RonnleLee and all Hogs fans!

Thanks man. As close as that game was I am really worried about next week when we face Bama. Did anyone notice how often AJ Green was mentioned. They talked about him more than any of the players actually playing. Hey Viro, of course SEC/ESPN gameday will always be at a SEC game. What else is there to talk about LOL.

OU 3-0, probably one of the toughest non conference schedules of all the top teams. 4 bowl teams, not cream puffs.

 Utah State ain't going to a bowl game: they're FCS. Cincy may go to a bowl, only because six wins will get you there. FSU - sure, if they put it together, but you have to admit that they stunk. Air Force - best OOC team OU will play this year. The team seemed flat to me. Hell, the town and stadium seemed flat too. OU does deserve credit for the sched though. They can't help where each team happens to be on the bell curve, at the time of kickoff. 
 
This team is young and will probably be up an down this year. Sunshine pumping, 3-0 is 3-0, no matter how one may get there. The next two weeks are big of course. First road game, then there is Texas. I'm pretty nervous about both honestly. 
 
Texas may not have lit up the left side of the column, but that defense looked nassssssssssty. That D could win every game for them, no matter how much their O sputters. 
 
Oh and good job Mikey Stoops! I love watching that guy coach. He must down five Red Bulls before the game, like Mike Gundy. Speaking of the Spike, where did Pokefan go? They had a big win yesterday.

Utah State is in the WAC, they are not FCS.

Utah State isn't technically a bowl team since they were 4-8 last season, but if you look at their schedule from that year they lost to good teams by less than you might expect. A couple TDs and they would have been.
 
Team - Margin of loss
Utah - 18
Texas A&M - 8
BYU - 18
New Mexico State - 3
Nevada - 3
Fresno State - 4
Hawaii - 13
Boise State - 31
 
3 games lost by 4 or less points, two of which (Fresno State and Nevada) were #2 and 3 in the WAC.
 
So not great, but not a bad team either.

I am starting to have doubts that Landry Jones can lead OU to a big 12 championship this year. Plus, I don't understand why he is throwing the ball 42 times. Ou's running game isn't that bad! Hopefully the Texas game isn't as brutal as it currently looks.

Other tidbits . . . . Airforce is really fun to watch. The Msu/Nd contest was completely absurd. I hope the Msu coach makes a speedy recovery. Nebraska is much better than I thought.

And please, oh please, don't let NU lose to Rice...
 

Well you got your wish.  Congrats

Yep, NU looked very good again. We should be 4-0 entering Big Ten play, which for us is huge.

Ok so I was very wrong about a lot of other things. While I was right about AFA giving OU a run for their money, and Michigan State used trickeration to save me in that game, I owe the Pac Ten an apology. UCLA dominated Houston, and Arizona made what I thought was a good Iowa team look pretty mediocre. I do think that USC only just beating the Gophers, who lost to FCS South Dakota State at home, isn't too impressive, but Wisco should have been better against ASU in spite of getting the Win.

Gah, what a total brain cramp. Sorry Maxvla. I still think you're spinning Utah State too hard, and it's not as if this Bearcat edition is the same as last year.

SEC is stacked now that I really look at it... That's not even fair.

 

[ronnielee54]

It wont last long.  Conference play has started and we should start knocking each other out of top 25 soon.

Yeah... That usually happens with all the good conferences. PAC 10 goes down every year, then does great in bowl games.

Saw on the news last night where the kids up on the hill have started setting up there tents for the Arkansas-Bama game this weekend.  Oh to be young again instead of just a 57 year old fart.

 

[Skylab]

That will be a HUGE game.
