daviscw Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Wofford will probably be back in the mix with ASU. Seems like Furman or GSU could come back in the mix soon. Wofford, Elon, Furman, and Georgia Southern are all solid teams. Saying the SoCo is not dominant is outrageous. Quote

Wofford, Elon, Furman, and Georgia Southern are all solid teams. Saying the SoCo is not dominant is outrageous. they are pretty good teams, not very good teams with the exception of Wofford. They are a very good team (but probably not championship contenders) The SoCon had 2 teams in the top 25 at the end of last year. The CAA had 6 including 4 in the top 10. The SoCon has 2 teams in the current preseason top 10 poll. The CAA has 4. JMU, Villanova, New Hampshire, Villanova and Richmond are all legitimate championship contenders. Also, Maine, UMass and W&M are tough teams. The SoCon has only Wofford and App State that can possible be considered championship contenders. The rest of the conference is good, but not the same caliber as the teams from the CAA right now. The SoCon was dominant, but they are not anymore. Quote
daviscw Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 You are really basing this off a preseason poll?? The SoCon may have had an off year, but it won't last long. You don't get a trophy for being in the top 25 preseason. You don't get a trophy for being #2-25 post season. You get a trophy for winning championships; which the SoCon has, and the CAA doesn't have. That my friend is dominance. You cannot call a team or conference dominant preseason. Quote
Super User Sam Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 SoCon vs. the CAA. Bring them on. Â Florida will play them all outside of the SEC and we can see which one is the best. Did I say padding the schedule???? Â Quote
Super User Sam Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 UF Schedule: Out of Conference - Charleston Southern Troy Florida International Florida State In Conference Creme Puff - Kentucky Arkansas Mississippi State Vandy That's 8 Creme Puffs. I am looking forward to their RPI ranking with such a disgraceful schedule. UF AD should be embarrassed by the out of conference opponents. Other than for FSU, they are jokes. At least Tulane would be an improvement. Not much, but an improvement. Â :-X Quote

Last year's champion was from the CAA...the same team that beat the SoCon champ earlier in the playoffs (one of two CAA teams that beat the SoCon's best team). ASU would finish anywhere from 1st to 3rd in the CAA, Wofford would maybe finish in the top 5 or 6 and Elon might get into the top 10. It's just a tougher conference. Sure, the SoCon has championships but lately their strength has been in their one elite team, not their top to bottom toughness. Quote

Â New Hampshire and Nova tend to very overrated. Â JMU and Richmond are good, but going north leads to weaker football. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 lol, my mistake. The fact still remains that there are 4 legitimate contenders. UNH was 2 pts away from the semifinals last year. Villanova is a VERY good team. They have some very talented players. They get overlooked because they finished just behind two very good teams in the CAA. Don't forget that they did beat Richmond last year in the regular season. It took a last second hail mary for JMU to beat them the first time and JMU only won by 4 the second time. I'll just leave it at this: last year JMU beat Wofford and ASU, Richmond creamed Elon and ASU. The CAA had more teams in the playoffs than the SoCon, including the eventual Champion. Let's just wait to see how things go this year. I'd be willing to bet the CAA has more teams in the Top 10 at the end of the year and the National Champion will most likely be from the CAA. At the very least, the CAA will send more teams to the playoffs. Quote

tnbassfisher Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I don't know. Ask me again after September. LOL, Tennessee has a big target on their back with that new coach of theirs. Hey, give that new coach some credit. He's getting commits from 13 year olds. Do you see anyone else doing that? He also has the hottest wife of any coach. I mean hey, you gotta find something to brag about. Â Anyways, Go Vols! Quote

LSU in 2009 11-1 LSU loses to Georgia LSU beats Florida the next week Florida beats Georgia LSU meets Florida in the SEC Championship That is kinda how the horns got s*** on by the BCS .Horns beat Sooners,Sooners beat TX tech,Tx Tech accidentally beat Horns. Sooners go to championship????? Because of STYLE POINTS?????? Because coach Stoops is a poor sport and runs up the score. Really, if your winning 56 to 7 in the 4th quarter and keep your starters in you are a poor sport. At least the horns coach puts in the 2 and 3rd string when they get up like that. Anyway this coming season they will win it all. Good luck to everbody else. Here comes the Big 12 and the Longhorns leading the pack. Quote
Captain Obvious Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 You gators better watch out you guys beat some okies last year who couldn't catch, and when they had to play real teams lost hands down. And remember nobody has more passion for the sport of football than the great people in Texas heck if there was a law that said that kids could only play in the state they went to high school in then you guys would be hosed. HOOK'EM HORNS Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 r nobody has more passion for the sport of football than the great people in Texas   If it wasn't for the fans, there wouldn't be a need to play the games period.   I can assure you, I have friends across the borders who love college football as much as you and I.   Heres some reality for ya.   Espn has picked Texas and Florida to play for the BCS title.   Thats great.    If TExas didn't get through the door last year, how does anyone expect them to get there this year.   Texas' schedule on paper wasn't rough, even though in reality, the weaker teams they played had super year.  Two of those 3 cream puffs won thier bowl games, Rice won 10 games last year, UTEP was 5-7, but lost to seven teams that all went to bowl games.  I think the other team to play in a bowl was the Rajun Cajuns that Texas beat badly.      Texas went through 5 teams ranked in the top 15, not sure where Kansas and Mizzou was ranked at the time, but 5 top colleges in a row  and didn't get the nod to get into the championship game.   Well, that non conference schedule is no better than last year, and what makes you think the computers will be any different this year.   Reality shows if they didn't get there last year, they don't have a shot this year.   Mack don't run up the score either, so style points is hard to come by.   As for what Bradford did with his arm was no joke.   Okies can't catch.  Someone helped Bradford win the Heisman.  lol Hookem     Quote
bigtimfish Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Forget the computers, If a team goes undefeated in the big 12 that team will get to play for the big bowl game. And that team will be the Longhorns. The secondary has a little more expierience now (Gideon who dropped the easiest int ever) and I honestley don't think the dude that let what's his face from Tx Tech score when he thought he pushed him out of bounds will let that happen again. I am 100% positive that UT will go for the national title. I am going to take a stab and guess 2 teams they will play against. Florida or LSU Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 If your team's defense can not stop my team's offense how is that running up the score? Should we install a 10 point rule like baseball or maybe throw in the towel & forfeit the game. During the regular season, Sam Bradford, winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy, led the Sooners on offense to become the highest-scoring team in NCAA history (702 points) and the first team to score 60 or more points in five consecutive games. Defenses win championships and until the Big 12, PAC-10, & Big Ten learn how to play defense y'all chances are slim. Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 College football has peaks in each conference. Add up all the championships over the years. Â Â TX, OU, Neb have its share. Â I believe we are close to the top in NCCA titles. So the SEC has won a few more titles lately in the BCS era. Â Pretty much even throughout history. Running up the score, Â lol. Â Â Big difference when you leave your starters in and your up 35 to start the 4th qrtr. Â Thats running up the score. Â Instead, you could be adding depth and experience to next years roster. Â Â Hookem 8-) Sorry Quote

I wasn't referring to Bradford I was talking about the national title game when the one sooner caught the ball and that one guy just came by and took it away like nobody was there and beside what are you doing sticking up for the okies lol And I know other people love football just as much as Texans why else would this post be getting so big lol Hook'em Quote
