Although it would be almost impossible for any conference to live up the self-imposed hype, you would think SEC would get out of shoot with convincing victories during the non-conference ‘cupcake’ period. The top team in the nation, Florida has taken care of business against virtual division II schools by a combined score of 118-9, Alabama possibly has had the most difficult non-conference game in their opener, and looked good in their glorified scrimmage. However, the rest of the SEC has struggled beginning with Georgia, who was considered last year’s snub, who lost to then #5 Big-12 Oklahoma St, but they proved to be not ready for prime time in a home loss to unranked Houston. Tennessee loses at home to UCLA, who is not expected to finish in the top half of the Pac-10. Number 7 LSU is 2-0 but has hardly looked like a top ten school as they have struggled against the likes of 08 non-bowl participants Washington and Vandy. Lastly, South Carolina and the Head Ball Coach look like they’re playing for .500 and a bowl game. Is the SEC the tough conference they were made out to be? Let us know here and in the chat rooms and team rooms.

Yes, the SEC is all that. Every team won with the exception of GA out of the gate opening weekend. Maybe not the expected freefall but a win. That in itself is what makes the SEC crazy the very irony of big expectation because it is the SEC but delivery isn't enough. Who predicted Houston to jump OK ST? And the reason no was because they just beat GA a young rebuilding team in the SEC. Watch and see if SEC isn't in the National Championship again.
OSU fans, thought you were better than that. You sound exactly like all the OU fans did after they lost to BYU. The defense isn't as good as we thought, but at the same time, it is really hard to slow down the kind of offense UH has. The problem lies with the offense. That's two games in a row they were not good. Robinson is playing skittishly, Gundy's play calling is questionable, and the tight ends are not blocking all that well. OSU was still hungover from saturday and let all the hype go to their heads. Hope UH can at least make a run in their conference.
OSU is overrated... Zac Robinson and Kendal Hunter fumbled the ball and Dez Bryant caused an interception. Our amazing trio is horrible. I'm predicting us to fall out of the top 25 after todays loss and that we will finish the season 6-6, losing to Houston, Texas, Baylor, Missouri, Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Go Pokes... time to settle with mediocrity again.
This is a perfect example of the SEC bias to start the season. How do they have so many teams ranked in the top 25? They have 2 GOOD TEAMS in their conference just like everyone else. Nothing special.
You can cap on the SEC all you want All I know is Ok State is showing how bad Big 12 defenses truly are. They are giving up like 8-10 yards a play... they have given up more so far to Houston than Penn State has given up all season combined.
BIg ten is a joke don't even step to the SEC
Pac-10 6-0 in bowls last year the true test of conference vs. conference. SC is our best but top to bottom we're right up there with the SEC.
USC Kingdom,
Dude(is that how you say it in CA?) you're a joke! USC plays 1 maybe 2 tough games all year and they usually lose one! Like to Oregon or California State Pomona on the road, then complain that they should get just as much cred as a SEC team that loses on the road when it's at totally different atmosphere. we bleed our football here, out west you only go to the games if the weather is bad. Last I read you had 335 days of sun out o 365 in CA. I guess the crowds aren't that big.
