Where We Stand

So where do we stand now four weeks into the college football season?

We have seen LSU beat Oregon (Neutral Site) and West Virginia in Morgantown.

We have seen Alabama beat Penn State in Happy Valley and dismantle Arkansas at home.

We have seen Oklahoma look impressive on the road in a mad house vs Florida State.

We have seen Notre Dame turn the ball over and over again only to recover with two straight wins to be 2-2.

We have seen Ole Miss get hammered by Vanderbilt and that really has lit a fire under Houston Nutt's seat.

We have seen Robert Griffin the 3rd carry Baylor into the AP top 25. He is 70 of 82 with 13 touchdowns and NO interceptions

We have seen how bad is bad like Boston College-They lost to Duke who Lost to FCS Richmond. Or Minnesota who played step by step with USC but lost to North Dakota State.

We have seen why Purdue is now Purdon't. You CAN NEVER GET pounded by RICE.

We know that both Oklahoma and LSU have to play Serious games in the future. Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State and LSU vs Alabama

We know that college football is better when Michigan is better. Love or hate they are compelling. Same goes for Notre Dame.

It actually does suck that USC isn't eligible for postseason play because watching them win or lose just doesn't matter.

We know that the BCS Championship will not include Boise State. 1-loss BIG XII or SEC or PAC 12 Schools are just more appealing and have played better competition.

I defer to Heismanpundit.com for Heisman talk and their article can be found here. I really like Marcus Lattimore and Justin Blackmon.   http://heismanpundit.com/2011/09/27/the-hp-heisman-watch-week-4-2/

Coaches currently on my coach of the year short list. I like Dabo Swinney,Paul Johnson,Brady Hoke,and Ron Zook so far.

Just a few of my thoughts so far. Comment and Enjoy!

SEC Changes

THE SEC FOOTPRINT TODAY.

THE SEC FOOTPRINT AFTER TEXAS A&M

TWO OPTIONS TO CONSIDER. THIS ENTIRE THING IS ABOUT TV AND RECRUITING FOOTPRINT. LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHY HAS ZERO TO DO WITH IT. FOR THOSE WHO THINK FLORIDA STATE AND CLEMSON ARE CLIMBING ABOARD THINK AGAIN. FLORIDA WILL VOTE FLORIDA STATE DOWN EVERY TIME. CLEMSON DOES ZERO WITH OUR FOOTPRINT AND IS TO MUCH OF A THREAT TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

SCENARIO ONE THE SEC LOOKS AT BASKETBALL IN THIS RACE AND SAYS LETS GET KANSAS,NORTH CAROLINA AND DUKE. BOTH STATES THE SEC DOESN'T HAVE A FOOTPRINT IN AND IT MAKES THE SEC THE BEST BASKETBALL CONFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY    

W/KANSAS AND NORTH CAROLINA

SCENARIO TWO THE SEC COULD GET MISSOURI AS FIRST PROPOSED AND COULD ADD WEST VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND. WEST VIRGINIA REALLY GETS YOU AWFUL CLOSE TO PITTSBURGH AND WESTERN OHIO. MARYLAND GIVES YOU ALL OF NORTHERN VA/AND THE ENTIRE WASHINGTON D.C. REGION. THAT IS A VAST UNTAPPED MARKET. IT REALLY  DOES THEN MAKE YOU RELEVANT EVERYWHERE.

MAP WITH MARYLAND AND MO.

LOOK HOW BIG OF A FOOT PRINT THAT IS. LOOK AT HOW MUCH OF THE ACC AND BIG TEN THE SEC WOULD EAT UP. NOW THIS IS THE BEST CONFERENCE WAGGING IT'S STICK AND TELLING EVERY BODY ELSE TO BACK AWAY. THE SEC HAS THE BIGGEST STICK AND EITHER WAY THEY ARE ABOUT TO SWING IT AT EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY.
