My prediction is that the PAC 10 will be a stronger conference overall than the SEC when all is said and done.
Anyone else want to play? It's free. Do I have to dangle a Disney gift card for the winner as bait to get y'all to come play?
Go Oregon!
Check out these out-of-conference schedules for the SEC East:
Florida: Western Kentucky, Troy, Florida Atlantic, Florida State
Georgia: Oklahoma St., Western Carolina, Troy, @ Georgia Tech
Kentucky: Eastern Kentucky, Kent State, Louisville, Florida Atlantic
South Carolina: Louisiana Lafayette, South Carolina State, @ North Carolina, Clemson
Tennessee - @ California, Southern Miss, Arkansas St., La.-Lafayette
Vanderbilt - Richmond, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Wake Forest
And the SEC West:
Alabama: Western Carolina, Florida St., Houston, Louisiana Monroe
Arkansas: Troy, North Texas, Tennessee Chattanooga, Florida International
Auburn: Kansas St., S. Florida, New Mexico St., Tennessee Tech
LSU: Virginia Tech, Middle Tennessee, @ Tulane, La. Tech
Mississippi State: @ Tulane, Gardner-Webb, UAB, @ West Virginia
Ole Miss: @ Memphis, Missouri, La. Tech, Northwestern St.
A total of 48 games: 41 at home, 7 on the road. 43 against unranked opponents, 5 against ranked teams: Georgia Tech, Louisville, Cal, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Even taking in-conference foes into account, the Pac 10 is tougher, since the typical SEC team plays only 2 or 3 of the ranked SEC opponents (#3 LSU, #6 Florida, #16 Georgia, #20 Tennessee, #21 Auburn), while the Pac 10 teams play all of the Pac 10's ranked teams (#1 USC, #11 Cal, #15 UCLA, #22 Oregon State) other than, of course, themselves.
Very good point Pete. I do know that now there are 12 games the schools in the SEC are now arranging for tougher schedules. I do know that Georgia is trying to avoid playing throw-away games next year Georgia gets to play Arizona State out in Tempe which will be interesting. In 2009 Georgia plays at Oklahoma State and The Sun Devils return the Home-and Home. Apparently Colorado, Louisville, Oregon, and Clemson are on future schedules already. I do wish Georgia and Clemson would play more often as it used to be a traditional game.
Yay...we're about five days away from College football! Hooray!! :)
Sept 1st at Duke....Duke vs UConn :yea:
Ok ok....you all know I am a Trojan Fan....FIGHT ON!!!!!
Yes I know most of you think UCLA, U of W, and everyone else is better because "USC is overrated" but please.....I'm a fan, and I'm not here to fight.
USC fans should enjoy their preseason ranking at number 1, after they beat that powerhouse Idaho that first week, they have a tough schedule with away games at Nebraska, ND, Wash, and Cal. It is going to be tough to go undefeated with that schedule. Nebraska is a much different team at home than away and having then early is going to be tough. I think some Big 10, ACC or SEC will go undefeated and then will have an argument over who should be #2 and playing for the National Championship with one loss.
Watch out for some nonconference BCS school to shake things up also. I think Hawaii may be this years Boise State.
I think it's pretty exciting that in USA Today's Super 25 (football) National High School rankings, 5 California High Schools are listed.
6. De La Salle, Concord
7. Mater Dei, Santa Ana
11. Poly, Long Beach
18. Edison, Huntington Beach
19. Notre Dame, Sherman Oaks
Ahem. As a UO alum, and former Drum Major of the Fighting Duck Marching Band, the correct phrase here would be:
Go Ducks! But when they play like crap, you have to ask nicely, as in:
Go Ducks! (Please!?)
So, I take to rootin' for the team of my roots:
