GatorEng,

Maybe Miles is already making an excuse for his predicted loss to Florida (we deserve to be in NC even with one loss!).

AP rankings aren't really too important at this point in the season anyways. If Michigan is worthy, they'll climb back up in time. Their season isn't over - they could still realistically go, say, 9-3 and land a decent bowl.

Meanwhile, Colt Brennan is already building his Heisman resume. 34/40 in only 2 quarters of play? Yikes.

Louisville has the worst defense of a Top 25 team - 550 yards allowed versus Middle Tennessee State. Ridiculous.

Haha Strykur, I just saw some of your posts on BearInsider...and seriously, that Louisville game was just points and yards and penalties everywhere.

UL, WVU and Rutgers all have suspect defenses.

Gotta love Stew Mandel's (CNNSI) take on the SEC being the best conf. (and yes - the SEC probably has been the best conf. the past couple of years).

Quote:
I am so tired of hearing SEC fans say that "the second-best Pac-10 team beat the fourth-best SEC team" when Cal beat Tennessee. Is that all they got?
--Joe, Sacramento

Joe, Joe, Joe. So blissfully naïve. If there's two things I've learned during my time on this beat, it's that the SEC is positively, indisputably the greatest conference in the history of mankind, and little things like logic, facts and common sense have no bearing whatsoever on this distinction.

Tennessee beats Cal last year? Yet another feather in the SEC's cap. Cal beats Tennessee this year? Completely irrelevant. USC beats Auburn 23-0 in 2003? That wasn't one of Auburn's better teams. Auburn goes 12-0 the next year and gets left out of the BCS title game? A crime against humanity, seeing as the Tigers obviously would have beaten the Trojans. Big East champion Louisville comes within an offsides call of edging SEC champ Florida out of last year's BCS title game? Exhibit A why the whole system needs to be blown up. The fact that Big East champion West Virginia beat SEC champion Georgia in the Sugar Bowl just a year earlier? Eh -- the Dawgs weren't up for that game. Les Miles calls out USC's "soft" Pac-10 schedule? Well ... duh. But wouldn't that make SEC divisional champion Arkansas -- whom the Trojans beat 50-14 just a year earlier -- even softer? No, because Darren McFadden wasn't healthy, and he's obviously capable of producing 36 points on his own. Florida beating Ohio State like a rented mule in last year's title game? Indisputable confirmation that the Big Ten can't hold a candle to the SEC. The fact SEC teams lost their other two bowl games against Big Ten foes? Never happened.

So basically, Joe, I wouldn't waste your time with one of those futile debates. Just accept the SEC's eternal superiority for what it is and we can all go back to watching The Pick-Up Artist in peace.

Even though we're up 7, RU needs to step it up.
