What Conference Do the Eventual National Champions Hail From?

[Sabanocchio]

I know it's waaay early. But at this point what do you think? I'm gonna go with the Big Ten.

[Seppeh]

Pacific-10

[shanksta13]

I think the SEC is too balanced top to bottom this year to have a legitimate National Title contender. At this point, I would have to say either the PAC-10 (USC) or the Big 10 (Michigan).

Since when did South Carolina switch to the Pac-10?

Me thinks Pac One

UNLESS...a SEC team makes it to the title game. They don't have to be number 1 going in, or even undefeated. All they have to do is make the game, and they will blast the PAC-10 or Big-10.

Sorry, I know its not fair but thats not how the (corrupt) system works.

I know. If there is any possible way to screw the SEC, they will do it. :soapbox:

here here my friend

[Sabanocchio]

If a team from the SEC does make it all the way, IMO it'll be UT or LSU.

:laugh:

I see UTk 8-3, at best. More likely 8-4, 7-5. Your UTk buddies tend to agree:

[shanksta13]

I see...

The rest kind of blurred together after that... :laugh:

[AuburnJT]

Big (L)East.

That's right, BP. We Vols have a much more realistic view of our football team then you Bammers. Delusion is best left to those with practice. Disappointment is part of your nature as a Bama fan. You're used to it. One things for absolute certain, our record will be better than yours this year. We have the talent to compete for an SECC. You don't have the talent to compete with UT.

Troll.

No matter what I say I will never convince any of you that the top tier teams from the Pac 10, Big 12, or Big 10 can compete with anyone in the SEC. :brick:

I am going to list my national title favorites by conference. And listed the percentile that they will win it all IMO.

SEC - LSU 80%
Big 10 - Michigan 80% Wisconsin and Ohio State only two tough opponents
Pac 10 - Southern Cal 90% ESPN would love this
Big 12 - Texas 50%
Big East - West Virginia 85% Please someone play defense and put 8 guys in the box.
WAC - Hawaii 20% Super pansy conference. Brennan will put up 5,000 yds.
ACC - Miami 40%

Seriously, the SEC homerism of some of the posters on this board is a little bit absurd. I consider myself an SEC homer but next to these guys I come across as an SEC hater. :laugh:



BTW, Great list!

Texas only 50%? Think you are underrating them just a tad bit.

I like your list and your odds but replace mia with VT and i'm sold

No, Colt McCoy will be really good this year but I don't think Texas has quite reloaded just yet and I don't think that they would stand up againist LSU, Michigan, or So Cal this year.

i agree with 50%. they should've won the big 12 last year but choked vs TAM. they had the most talent in the big 12 but went as far as Colt took them.

[UAdan]

I know it's waaay early. But at this point what do you think? I'm gonna go with the Big Ten.

Unfortunately I think we could end up seeing a USC/WV Title game. They may not necessarily be the two best teams in the country, but they probably stand the best chance at finishing undefeated because their conferences are not as strong as the SEC and Big Ten.

[Seppeh]

WVU, or no BE team for that fact will go undefeated. Im getting sick of people saying this. Neither WVU, Louisville, or Rutgers is good enough to go 2-0 vs the other two. They will slip up atleast once. And South Florida could also upset one or two of them. Getting through the Big East unbeaten, not likely.

I'm not saying that they'll for sure go undefeated, just that they have a better chance than an SEC or Big Ten team does. I still think it's very possible for a one-loss SEC team to play for it all just like last year, but it will be more difficult for them to make it there than it will be for a team like West Va or USC. Just my honest thoughts.

WVU is far and away the best team in that conference this year. They can easily get through their cupcake schedule undefeated. If Brohm stays healthy they can keep up with WVU for a little while, but this is the only game they have to get up for. It's absurd to "get sick of" people saying a Big East team will go undefeated. This conference is even weaker than the Pac-10.

[Seppeh]

A little while? I see no reason why Louisville cant beat them. Sure they still have White and Slaton, but Louisville still has Brohm, Douglas, Mario and Stripling. Louisville can hang with them offensively, defense will be the question, but I dont believe one has a major advantage over the other.

last year, louis had a very good defensive team. not sure who returns

[AuburnJT]

The key loss to Louisville this year isn't a player, it's losing the HC.

You honestly think trading Petrino for Kragthorpe will set them back that far?

o and what will Bama's record 13-0 with a NC win? Just because ya'll think you've dug up Bear HE'S DEAD!!!!!!!

[AuburnJT]

Boise State is apples to oranges. They are far and away the class of their league talent-wise. Louisville does not have the same talent advantage.

[AuburnJT]

By that far you mean 1 loss to WVU? Yes I do.

[lacene]

It's a toss-up between SoCal, Mich. and Louisianna State, IMO. But I didn't think about WVU until the last few posts. Hmmm........

[The Ramp]

they only have one tough team in their entire conference

i see your other post...nevermind

[crawfish]

I understand the thinking that it's going to be difficult for an SEC team to make it through their SEC schedule and make it to the NC game, but we know it's very possible (even with one loss- ex. LSU, FL). With that said, I'm sticking with the SEC taking it all this year. . . again! Auburn, Florida, LSU and Tennessee all have a good chance at holding up the NC trophy in January 2008.

Actually, it'd be kind of fun to set up an exchange program with different conferences. Swap teams for a season, and see what happens.

That's what you're saying now. Wait a couple of years and you'll wanna run him out of town just like all the others. BTW, aint nuthin fine or upstanding about that a-hole.

[Seppeh]

You've quoted that same thing twice now, with two different replies.

Have a lot of thoughts on the subject, eh?

????
You're talking about a series that we've won 10 of the last 13 games.
'Nuff said.

[Seppeh]

Try 10 of the last 16.

[Sabanocchio]

What others, CRIMSON? Are you serious? No spin here:

Gene Stallings
Mike DuBose
Dennis Franchione
Mike Price
Mike Shula
Joe Kines

Just in the Fulmer era alone.
Try 10 of the last 16.
Talking about the Fulmer era here. Thanks for your input though! Wouldn't you say that's pretty dominant?

[Seppeh]

Nah, 10 of 16 isnt much considering the streaks Bama has pulled off against you guys.

But oh my goodness, I committed a sin talking about history. Kill me now.

You can talk about whatever you wish, Seppeh. But if you're going to quote history, quote it accurately. It's 11 out of 16 we've won. Funny that that's not dominance, but Richt's 4 vs. Fulmer's 2 is when it supports your argument.

[Seppeh]

How you won a 17-17 tie is beyond me, I dont care what the NCAA says. So it should be 10, i quoted it accuratley.

And I dont ever remember saying Richt dominates Phil. But ok.

Langham caused the Crimson Tide to forfeit most of the 1993 season and suffer NCAA sanctions by secretly signing with an agent during the previous offseason. You play by the rules or you suffer the consequences.
You okay today, Seppeh? You sure are in an argumentative mood.
