SEC Had A Tough Weekend

If you are putting Florida in there you might as well change your thoughts about sports.
I'm not sure why we include unranked sec teams in bigtime matchups.
We don't do this for other conferences. If so, let's ding every non ranked acc, big 12 and big 10 team that lost to a ranked team every weekend.

I much prefer to watch Florida get embarrassed on national television than root for them in some form of weird ‘SEC pride’
Primarily bc the SEC dominated the bowl season for so long where a .500 SEC team would beat a B10/B12/PAC/ACC team that finished 2-5th in their conference.
It became the norm that and SEC (non Vandy) vs anyone outside the top 15 was a million the AEC would win. And ranked SEC teams almost always won even as the lesser ranked team.
Other conferences and talking heads have been waiting for a chance to say “see…it’s only UGA and Alabama” and it finally be true
We opened the first week going 13-3. Along the way scoring 76, 73, 70, 69, 63, 56, points just to name a few. I’ll take that as a success.
2 and 3, not 1 and 4. They were 1 and 1 in games against comparable "seeds" from other conferences (Georgia v. Clemson, LSU v. USC) and our worst team defeated a supposed upper half ACC team. In the other games, excepting South Carolina nearly laying an egg, the SEC absolutely drilled midmajor and FSC opposition. Of course, that's to be expected, but it wasn't always the case elsewhere, including Oregon.
Yeah. I read that in the last edition of HorseShit Weekly
You should upgrade to dogshit weekly. Much better comic strips.
I would still include the Vanderbilt game. Even if they aren't marquee, it was still a P4 OOC game, against a dark horse ACC playoff contender.
Interesting thing is the other power 4 conferences didn't really schedule many challenging games in week 1.
How did the SEC go 1-4 in marquee matchups. When the conference went 13-3 overall. The only 3 losses being Texas A&M, Florida & LSU.
Against absolute dog crap teams. Heck we probably played the best cupcake of them all and still it wasn’t much of a competition beyond the first quarter.
Vandy gets props for beating VT. That’s a football town for sure.
Napier is done at UF barring a huge turnaround. He was taking shots at fans today. Basically saying “we’re not gonna listen to the noise” and “fans in basements in Centrsl Florida”. Sounds very very familiar to another coach that was on his way out…..
LSU shouldn’t have lost to USC who’s is decent but picked fifth in the Big 10. Kelly’s seat is warming up for sure.
A&M lost to a very good ND. So I’m not to bothered by that.
As for the “weird conference pride” thing. Well, ask the ACC how that’s going for them. Or the PAC-12. Having your conference be the best keeps it from falling apart and keeps the money rolling in.
