That was really great. 2nd best win in school history behind @ Michigan a few years ago. I grew up in Toledo as well so they've always held a special place in my heart. Hopefully Coach Campbell stays for a couple more years, which I think he will. Great young coach.

Not saying some SEC teams didn't play good teams, but Tennessee did not. BGSU scoring 30 against the Vols isn't something to be proud of.
BG's QB threw for more yards than any other QB yesterday in their win over Maryland. I thought their O looked very formidable vs UT. I wouldn't be so sure that BG is not a good team. There are other good teams in the MAC this yr, WMU and U of Toledo, but I think BG is a force to be reckoned with. This win will look good on the Vols resume in December despite what you said last week

I was real impressed with WMU's coach, PJ Fleck. He's very energetic and it's infectious.

Maryland is terrible, but that is fair, I did not know bgsu had that good of an offense. That performance certainly makes what Tennessee gave up to bgsu look better. Will be interesting to watch the bgsu vs UT game this year.

Although I will say what UT did to Arkansas shows how ridiculous it was that Akransas was even ranked. How does a 6-7 team from the previous year jump to being ranked 18th off really nothing? Northwestern should have been ranked over them, they actually beat a ranked major conference opponent in week 1.

As of today, I agree. If ARK is worthy of a top 25 ranking let them earn it. If NW is worthy of a top 25 ranking they'll continue to win

Western Michigan??? They got absolutely stomped by Ga. Southern yesterday.
I will agree that the MAC has taken some nice steps forward. OU over Marshall was a nice win. The poor RedHawks though. Oof.
SeaRay -- After 26 games as the head coach at UT, Butch Jones has the same record as Derek Dooley (12-14). That's not going over well from what I understand. Thoughts?

Great day of football yesterday for the state of Kentucky. :D
Given how the Vols choke, I hope there is a public service warning at the next tailgate.

Don't want to jinx it but if Kentucky pulls it off against Florida next week I really believe they could be in the thick of it for the SEC East.
I was ecstatic when Kentucky got Shannon Dawson to replace Neal Brown. He's more aggressive than Brown and isn't afraid to go deep. If Towles can get some consistency this team could be scary good this season.
This is asking a LOT, but given how Auburn looked it is entirely possible, but if Kentucky can run the table until the Tennessee game, would College Gameday make an appearance in Lexington?

I don't want to sound like unrealistic expectations. It's nice to think about but Kentucky has yet to play two solid halves. It would take that to win the next two, let alone Auburn.

I wasn't that thrilled with the play calling in the 2nd half. The got real conservative IMO. They ran it right up the middle a lot and threw short most of the time. I felt like they didn't have confidence in Towles to throw deep, especially in the 2nd half. I felt like they were playing not to lose. It darn near came back to bite them. The win gave them a very good chance at getting to six wins and a bowl. I knew they had to win one of these conference games in September to do that. They do have as good a chance at beating Florida as they have had in many many years this week. But after that I will just wait and see. I still don't expect them to beat Auburn,Tennessee and those teams like that.

He's doing fine. The difference is recruiting. Dooley didn't have back to back top 5 recruiting classes. Granted he has to continue the upward climb but next yr is supposed to be their breakout yr. If that doesn't happen then he's got problems but that's still a long way off

Exactly. They still aren't over the hump. But truth be told, the biggest wins they can get this season will be w/i the SEC. In other words there will be many more chances for big wins this season. The OU game went exactly like the oddsmakers thought it would. It was a pick em game with OU being a one pt favorite

Not going to be surprised if both Auburn and Alabama lose this weekend due to the quarterbacks and the kicking game. You could seriously play a Bear defense against Alabama right now and live to see a close game in the 4th quarter. Coker is not accurate enough at this point in the season. If we do lose, I hope Kiffin turns it over to some one else with the hope of grooming them for next year.

Auburn dropped to 18th, which is actually surprising, even though I said I thought they should drop. 12 spots is a big drop.

Sixth was high to begin with. I said in June that this year's team could win the SEC or it could finish 4th in the west. That's a lot of uncertainty both for Auburn and essentially the whole division. Most of the teams in the West could be very, very good. Could isn't the same thing as "is". The early rankings basically gave the SEC the benefit of the doubt absent any data. This weekend is going to be a really fun one.

I'd say it has more to do with the continued overall opinion that the SEC is chocked full of strong teams. The fact that the SEC had so many fringe top 25 teams going into the season tells you that there is still a high level of respect for the SEC - and based solely on recruiting there should be. The early season polls are much about popularity as they are about results (unless you unexpectedly trip up). The SEC had some good wins in the first week, but I don't think a single one of them was unexpected.

Right on all points. Due to recruiting and respect that the SEC has earned thru the yrs, a lot of teams were ranked in or close to the top 25. In week one they lived up to those expectations

It actually was a good win. Louisville played 3 games in 13 days against teams that will all probably bowl this year. Auburn was ranked #6 and Clemson #11. That's the very definition of a tough way to start.

My SEC Picks:
Georgia over South Carolina: Hoping Spurrier listens to the friend that is whispering in his ear that its time to call it career. Hate to see him forced out
LSU over Auburn: Miles needs to win this game
Ole Miss over Alabama: Coker era ends after three games. This game could get ugly for Alabama.
Kentucky over Florida: Better days are coming for the Gators.
Auburn hasn't won in Baton Rouge in 16 years. Only once in the last 23 years has the loser of this game went on to appear in the SEC championship game. This is a big game with potential national championship implications.

As for the UK game last night, I'm starting to think its time to see what Barker can do. He was the higher rated recruit coming out of high school and is more athletic than Towles. Would also be a play to set up the nucleus for the future as well.

Offensive line was terrible. Also the coaching staff made no adjustments whatsoever to help the line out. And when Towles did have time he usually missed his targets. Just overall awful game from the offense. When your defense shuts out someone in the 2nd half you should win. But when your Kentucky that means you normally don't. I doubt that I will ever see them beat Florida again. This made 29 straight and counting.

I love my Buckeyes, but I have friends who live in Lexington and have went to several UK football games and tailgated there. It's always a great time. It always amazes me how the football program is so well supported, considering it's lack of success over the years. Lexington is just a fantastic city overall.

Gus said he's going to make a change a QB this week. Shawn White is going to be the starter Saturday against MSU.
White has a great arm and is deadly accurate. He's more of a true pocket passer too. While less of a threat to run than Johnson, he can scramble like Aaron Rodgers.

Actually no you can't. Gus kind of knows QBs. I'd be surprised if Jason Smith is the QB unless there are injuries. But it's very possible that by the time the Iron Bowl rolls around, everyone will know who Jason Smith is...he's a potential game changer at WR and IMHO has a real shot at the nfl from that position.

White is a redshirt freshman. JJ beat him out in part because his advantage in experience. Gus is very big on having a QB who is prepared. That said, JJ has all of the tools to be great. He just has more lumps to take than hoped and Gus is right not to give up on the season.

IF they could "win" games...You don't deserve to be top ten when you do the things we saw in the Okla and Fla games. What were they on defense, 0-5 on 4th down? Wasn't the game winner on 4th and 14? And when they did get the ball for a chance to run out the clock they run two straight up the middle and on third down they roll the QB to the short side of the field. Can you get any more conservative than that? Jones should learn that he needs to put confidence in his young players and let them play. Let Dobbs air it out. When they got the ball back and Dobbs had to throw it he did so with success and got downfield. Had they done anything resembling that in the previous possession they'd have run out the clock on Fla. you can't (game) coach any worse than that

He's looked really good through the first half just a bunch of silly execution mistakes. But i've had to remind friends this week that he is a redshirt freshman. They don't traditionally torch the SEC. The defense on the other hand is as bad as it has looked. They've actually tackled and haven't missed many assignments in the first half but there is zero pressure on Prescot. aint gonna win if that continues. I counted about 6 guys sitting on the bench as part of Muschamp's message this week. I'm happy with the effort.

Two SEC-related side-notes from that season:
IIRC, UK narrowly lost to Tennessee in the '87 season finale, narrowly missing out on a bowl appearance in an era in which there were very few bowls compared with today.
IU faced Tennessee in the Peach bowl that year - IIRC, both were ranked at the time - with Tennessee winning by less than a touchdown.

The irony here is that most SEC talking-heads figured that both Mizzou and A&M would both struggle initially in SEC competition, while eventually reaching "SEC caliber" levels - Their words, not mine. While in reality, as we all know, the reverse occurred. Mizzou is quickly falling off the SEC map and I'm not sold on A&M this year, yet; Preseason #15 Arizona State has been exposed as a paper tiger, while A&M would have walked away a loser last night if Arky hadn't gift-wrapped the game for them.

Partially agree, I guess. Missouri came into the league at a high point for them, historically speaking, and took advantage of the East's relative weakness. But they're not a traditional power and they're probably going to fade back. A&M only sporadically mattered in the Big 12, or the SWC before that; but the jump to the SEC, combined with Texas' decline at the end of the Brown era, gave them a chance to raise their profile and they're making something of it. There's a lot of talent on that team (they're winning recruiting battles they used to lose to Texas and Oklahoma) and I've always been a big fan of Chavis as a DC. By the end of the season I think they'll be really, really good.

A&M is in much better shape program-wise than Missouri, no doubt. IMO, it's now a destination job (Blueblood) no matter the conference affiliation. As I stated, I'm just not sold on this team right now. Chances are, as you stated, they'll improve. I also don't believe that Arkansas is gutter-level bad as some seem to believe. I don't have a dog in the fight, but IMO, people are overstating the loss to Toledo as an awful loss, as if Toledo, a solid program for many years, is just another run of the mill MAC program. Losses at home, even in the SEC, to programs of Toledo's caliber are going to happen.
As for Mizzou, IMO, Pinkel is a good - but not great - coach who has taken the program about as far as he can. OTOH, dumping him may create a "be careful what you wish for" scenario, just as Kansas, when they believed that they could do better than Mangino. Oops.

True. Even though Mangino's dismissal was obviously more than justified, the program is going to be hard-pressed to enjoy another period of relatively sustained on the field success, just as Mizzou would if they were to can Pinkel.
Perhaps a better power conference comparison - and this goes back about 15 years or so, but, IMO, still applies - is Arizona after Dick Tomey was canned, er, retired. It took two epic failure coaching hires before RichRod returned them to National relevance.

Dak is a great college QB. Take away his legs and he can win passing especially if given man to man coverage. The way to beat him is to take away his legs and put a lot of pressure on him. It's really hard to do that with your front 4 so good luck with that.

A/M's early success in the conference was largely built on a transcendent QB and some very nice WRs. It'll be interesting to see if Sumlin can build long term success there. They've certainly given him the resources. Sometimes I think yes, sometimes no.
Mizzou benefitted from jumping in right at the SEC East's weakest point, probably ever. If UF and UT reemerge, Mizzou will fall back. USC's path will partially determine their fate as well.

Yeah, now I think about it, they were often very good back in the SWC days, so thanks for the correction. They didn't really leave much of a mark on the Big 12, though. I remember a lot of people predicting they'd be overmatched in the SEC because they'd been so mediocre for the decade before that.

Once again...by my count they were in the Big 12 for 16 seasons and went bowling 11 of those years. But I know what you are trying to say, or at least I think I do.

I don't think it's fair to look at A&M from a historical aspect. The SEC Texas A&M marriage has been very beneficial and opened up the Lone Star State for recruiting. I just don't see A&M as the same program (Little Brother) as they were in the Big 12.

Fun fact - Texas A&M intended to go to the SEC back when the SWC was absorbed into the Big 8 to form the Big XII initially, but Texas politics put a stop to it. It was actually intended to be Arkansas and TAMU that were added as teams 11 and 12; South Carolina was the beneficiary of the brakes on A&M to the SEC happening then. Actually, I think Florida State was also approached before SC, when they were still indy, but knew they probably needed to join a conference, and Coach Bowden strongly preferred the ACC to the SEC as I remember it. Anyway, Carolina got in and I think they're a good fit too.

I think the dirty little secret that is coming out is that Stoops isn't a very good coach. They were unprepared and they talked all week about playing Barker and other bench warmers. So what do expect when you talk like that. They were very lucky to win Saturday night. Obviously if they play like that in any more games they won't win.

Stoops has made his mark with recruiting, especially in tapping into Ohio. His coaching leaves a lot to be desired, but the talent level at Kentucky has seen a significant rise compared to Joker.

Leonard Fournette is a class act. Loved the hand written speech at the end of the game and the NCAA is going to allow him to auction his jersey.
That being said, I'm betting the discussion of him sitting out next season to protect his draft stock will only pick up after Chubbs injury. That was devastating and embarrassing to the rest of the SEC on the part of Tennessee cheering.

This past week they did discuss Leonard's future on "Mike and Mike". It was a pretty interesting conversation.

I think running backs should be able to go pro after their 2nd year, it's just so much damage on their bodies.

I don't know how much of an impact losing Grier will be. This week is probably a wash anyways going to Death Valley, but Florida wins with their defense. As long as Treon Harris doesn't turn the ball over, they should be fine.
If I'm wrong, the SEC East is wide open.

PEDs seems to have done wonders for Florida quarterback Will Grier, who’s reportedly taken the “freshman 15” to a new level. Apparently, he’s bulked up to 215 pounds after weighing in at 172 as a freshman. Thats not normal without getting fat and would have been a redflag to a returning coach staff.

This is a shock.
I did expect him to retire, just thought he'd ride out the rest of the season. Hopefully there is nothing major causing this such as health.
I think South Carolina is going to have a time replacing him. The only attraction for Spurrier was golfing in the offseason. I don't see Chip Kelly being as serious a candidate as rumored.
Interesting note is that Jon Hoke (Brady's brother) could be the interim head coach.

Alabama > Texas Am: Am sure Kiffin has something unexpected planned for the offense and I expect a shootout.

LSU > Florida: Grier wouldn't have won this game for them.

I think what you're seeing is just the aches and pains of building a program. Their head coach is learning on the job and he makes mistakes. The recruiting is still midway to the destination-KY has a real nice core of players on both sides of the ball but is missing depth in places.
That's kind of the caliber of the bullets you're talking about. What remains to be seen is what KY's ceiling might be....is it Vandy with Franklin and can it be sustained at 9 win seasons, can it be Vandy with Franklin with a truly awesome season now and again where they're top 10 or better, or is it Vandy and this current progress should just be enjoyed while it lasts?
I think it could be the middle option if they truly have a commitment to football.
