1. Oklahoma
2. Florida State
3. Alabama
4. Oregon
5. Texas A&M

Must be a crack problem in the studios of ESPN.

Wow, where did those two come from??

Auburn completes unprecedented climb to No. 1 - College Football - Rivals.com
SEC puts 3 in final top ten of AP poll. Six in final top 25.

The nation’s strongest conference finished with three teams in the top 10, five in the first 15 and six in the Top 25, more than any other league. LSU was eighth, Alabama was 10th, Arkansas finished 12th, Mississippi State was 15th and South Carolina was No. 22.

I want to know who gave TCU a #1 vote

 

[mdonnelly]

The Big-12 had 5 in the top 20 (if you count Nebraska).

Whats really amazing to me is that the SEC WEST had 5 out of their six in the 15. Without a doubt the toughest division in recent memory IMHO.

What was up with the field last night? Players were slipping all over the place. The game had plenty of drama, but considering how high octane the offenses are, it never really got going. The field may have had something to do with it. The layoff too, but that's been overcome in other NCG games.

Seemed like most of the game was...sluggish.

It's hard to imagine that both teams were playing to the peak of their abilities considering they haven't played in 5+ weeks. The whole post season for college football is so messed up it's not even funny.

I agree with this, but we've seen NCG games in recent years played at a very high level after 5+ weeks off. Last night's game seemed different.

It's a good thing the SEC West was strong, for it made up a very lackluster year in the SEC East (usually stronger than in 2010)

If he bought his own ticket, there's nothing they can do about it. And once Cam's declares for the draft, the Newton's won't giving a flying fig about the NCAA.

This is a kid that stole a laptop and got kicked out of Florida for it, does anyone think he cares about the NCAA and it's "rules"?

 

[The Insider]

After this past season I am sure FLA will let the next laptop theft slide.

I think the slow 1st quarter was a direct result of the long layoff.

5 weeks, thats all ?

Remember when the Bucks were in the MNC game they were off for 51 days.

Oh, I agree, the west ruled the roost in the SEC. They were 4-1 in bowl games, the East was 1-4. Same as its been all season.

They also didnt have a conference champ game. That will change next year.
Far too long between games IMO.

What I posted on facebook as my SEC predictions for next season.

My SEC west predictions for the next year

1: Bama (homer pick, but saban has been stockpiling talent in T town, good players leave, but great backups can step in. biggest question mark is QB)

2: LSU (the tigers are still loaded, if Miles, since he is coming back, can cut down on his questionable decisions, they have a shot at the west)

3:Miss State (Mullen is doing wonders here, and I can see them duplicating this years success, they wont climb past Bama or LSU though)

4a: Arkansas (could be solid, and a few things go their way they will have a solid season)

4b: Auburn (they lose alot, but have a good recruiting class coming in, and a solid back returning. Cam and Fairley leaving will hurt. Alot)

6: Ole Miss (sorry guys, they may improve, but the rest of the west is a step above for now)





SEC East predictions

1: S. Carolina (Latimore will return, Garcia will be back, and Spurrier will try again. The east is still in rebuild mode)

2: Florida (still talent here, but a coaching change. They could win the east or drop a spot or two)

3: Tennessee (only because I think Georgia will suck even worse)

4: Georgia ( only because kentucky and vandy are still in this division)

5: Kentucky (Only because Vandy is still here, do we sense a trend? lol)

6 Vandy (well, because they are vandy)

Think I am close?

Remember when the Bucks were in the MNC game they were off for 51 days.

The year they won the national title, they had a 43 day layoff.

Right, so that would make it 46 days.

you mean the bowl season is finally over??
