SEC is overrated as hell
But win a few key non-conference games, get everyone into the Top 25, and only lose to each other to just move the rating points around, and it happens.
Bama is totally legit though.

Next week I'm going to go through and pick who I think should win, and then totally reverse all of my choices.
Less yelling in the second half
Thank GOD that that is almost definitely over now, the SEC may be the worst P5 this year excluding Bama
kinda like the B10 in previous years that it was regarded as terrible save OSU.
No kidding. I actually missed the final play of the Horns game because I had a late flight back (8:45 PST) and we were getting ready to take off. Fortunately the dude two seats over kept his phone on after they told us to shut it down so I saw it go 50-47 on his screen.

Kansas rushed the field after beating Rhode Island, let's slow your roll.
Jimbo is world-class at making adjustments at halftime, but Florida State must come out of the gate playing like they did in the second half if they want to compete this season. I don't think my heart can handle a replay of the 2014 season's nonstop comebacks.
And the penalties have to stop. Might as well call ourselves "False Start University" at this point. I don't have confidence in Rick Trickett as the OL coach.

I think the SEC still has the edge on the PAC12. They won shit this week.

When you are on a 15 game losing streak you take what you can get.

lol looks like a lot of people picked Houston. Nice!!!
There'll be a new one for week 2
3 teams with top 25 wins after week 1. Pretty embarrassing after that, but the most the other conferences have is 1. Big 12 and Pac 12 with 0 after week 1.

I hate conference talk. Let teams win and lose on their own merit.
LSU shit the bed. UGA didn't.
UCLA sucked. Houston brought it.
Fuck the notion of conference power.

AWW SHIT
The ONLY reason we are talking conference power is because we are all sick of the SEC circles jerk that we had to deal with for the past decade

It's not though. I mean you can still shit talk teams especially your rivals. It just takes conference out of it.
In some ways it's easier to shit talk as you can kill certain teams without fear of well yeah but our conference pwns yours being thrown back at ya.

I love week 1 aftermath knee-jerk reactions. Take whatever week 1 tells you, and be sure more than half the time you are wrong. The only thing I would bet money on is Bama is going to be really good as always. I am not banking on 'Texas is back' or 'SEC Sucks' or anything else right now. I've been burned way too many times. Let's see if these hold out come January 2017 (all I heard was the SEC was down in 2015, and they ended up dominating the bowl games).
Ah true, was looking at ranked vs ranked wins but getting that win over ND definitely counts.
I don't really care about "my conference can beat up your conference", was just stating what's happened thus far. Think the adage of you're never as bad as you think, or as good as you think probably applies to conferences as well.
Actually you can use it on PC with the "watch" sites like watchespn or btn2go. You can use it as your cable provider to log into those sites.

Lmao, is this a serious post?
The Big 10 is probably the worst conference in the country, and they refuse to play OOC ranked teams.
Ohio State opened with... who?
Michigan with...?
Michigan State with...?
Do any of them actually have a respectable strength of schedule?
Props to the SEC, ACC and Big 12 for playing each other's big boys early and often.
No idea what the PAC-12 does, they play either too late for meor not on TV, most of the time, sadly.
tl;dr - SEC had a rough week, but it's a marathon, not a sprint. No preseason in CFB and they (except Miss St LOL) played some big games out of the gate.

You didnt bother to look at OSU's schedule this year or future scheduled huh?
Still crazy to me that Miami scheduled a home and home with App State.
LSU got straight up beat. Wisconsin shit the bed in the third quarter of that game, they were just lucky to get the sheets changed before anyone walked in and noticed.

Bowling Green, Tulsa and Oklahoma this year.
Oklahoma, Army and UNLV next.
Ehh, not really disproving his point with this post.

Remaining SOS rank - OSU 18th, Bama 27, Clemson 53, Gawja 46
If you'll look around here, there's really not much of that, if any at all. You gotta chill man.

In an era of hot takes. College football's hot takes are the hottest of them all.

Talking about their entire schedule.
Of course it looks better when they throw out the big bad Bowling Green team they invited to the slaughter.
Best part of the season right here.

Speaking of hot take masters...
Oh man, I love me some meltdowns. Definitely a bunch after this weekend.

I'm an FSU fan, but it's pretty obvious why there is so much talk about the SEC.
When one conference wins 10 of the last 18 national championships, and the runners-up conferences each have 2... That's pretty freaking incredible, IMO. Hoping the ACC can make a run like that sometime.
Solid entry, this week.
Why take out the first week? That removes one of our P5 matchups, as well as a ranked win. With the whole schedule taken into account, I see UGA at 21 and MCU at 54. I mean, I see why you'd take out the first week, it helps prove a point. ;p
