after two years of being an sec doormat, the lovely people that bring you bankruptcy after listening to their prediction on who to pick for a game, tOSU is now the preseason #1, and for some reason the posts brought up they may lose to USC and still play for the mnc. and we are #2 b/c of SOS. unbelievable.

Let me say that I want to be ranked #1 in the preseason polls just as bad as everyone else. BUT, it's all about where your ranked at the end of the season. And as long as we're ranked #1 on Jan. 9, that's ALL that matter's to me. So let them pick Ohio as preseason #1, b/c I have a feeling that they won't be there when it counts.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!
SIC'EM WOOF,WOOF,WOOF

The SEC is the Rodney Dangerfield of college football. I think it's all about a prejudice toward the South, the only acceptable bias these days.
I agree. It's all about the season. Go Dawgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing will ever break the media's love affair with the Big 10. They will be perennially over-rated forever. It is just a fact that we may as well accept.

It's official. ESPN has finally located the worlds dumbest man, and then gave him an article. Preseason really doesn't matter. Nor do I care about ESPN's opinion on anything. Just reading the logic behind his thoughts. Pure stupidity. Nocking someone down because they have a harder schedule. Isn't strength of schedule one of the grading factors in deciding where a team breaks out. We have more fresh talent coming in, more returning talent, and a harder schedule. Oh wait, I get it. It's a common case of talent envy.

The problem is, this is Mark Schlabach saying this, and he is in LOVE with SEC football. That's two dumb articles in a row I've read by Mark Schlabach, and that worries me. Is the man slipping?

The other bad article is for another thread...

Didn't Mark graduate from UGA?
