Yea I feel ya. I mean it's nice to say "yea the conference my teams play in produces great teams and national champions the past 6 years" but realistically...i don't cause Bama winning Monday DOES NOT HELP Florida when it comes to recruiting. I don't get how SEC "fans" don't grasp this. The more OTHER teams in your conference wins, the more recruits take notice to that...especially the cream of the crop.

I would love nothing more for ND to win it all

Honestly, the SEC fans have calmed down a lot with that over the past season or two at least on this board y'all have. I remember a couple of Gator fans earlier this year admitting this team isn't as good as their ranking, but CBS + ESPN keeping pushing that SEC dominance story even though it ain't true this season. It's to the point now that ESPN's main college football mouthpiece won't even give Louisville credit for the win.

If I was a UF fan though I'd be concerned about Muschamp coaching my team. It's cool to be an intense coach, but he seems like he doesn't know how to turn that shyt off. All that hostility and no fun is grating. Urban was intense, but he could joke with cats and I don't even remember seeing him tear down players on the sideline like Muschamp has this season. The team looked like they spent 3 straight weeks of nothing, but full contact no break practices and was burnt out a bit

Actually, Muschamp has toned it down A LOT since last season. It's just the camera's catch him like that at the worst of times. He'll be fine with his emotions w/more seasoning....I hope.

I'm "scared" for our passing game though. The excuses throughout the season was "our wr's aren't getting open" or "our o-line isn't go in pass protection" and those are REALLY valid reasons BUT...Driskel just isn't that good as a passer. He's POOR in pocket awareness and if you notice all of our completions are some sort of stop route. He can't hit WR's in stride. Hopefully he'll correct that this offseason.

My impression this season was that the SEC isn't as strong as its been the past few years.

I never believed in the SEC propaganda shyt until this season. I truly feel the media made us out to "supposedly" have a stronger conference with no contest.

You look at Georgia's schedule, and the only team they played in the regular season was South Carolina and Florida.

Before the bowl season, the SEC team with the best resume' was Florida. They beat the most "great teams"

But to me I think the SEC is the most balanced its been in a while.. and the perception has been fukked. We're still a tough conference, but last years Alabama and LSU teams were some of the greatest teams of all time in my opinion.. We are far from having that this season.

I think this year was just benefit from how good we have been in the past. From my eye it looks like other teams not in the SEC are rising... and rather than that being the story it's like everyone just gave in to the SEC being the best conference.

In my opinion, Stanford and Notre Dame could play with any SEC team.

Good thing Georgia and South Carolina pulled out their wins versus legendary programs Michigan and Nebraska or the SEC would be looking ugly right now.

And I'm confident LSU is better than Clemson, but I'm uneasy knowing that a few bad calls could cost the game versus an ACC team (being that LSU is the SECs best defense)

Alabama has to get some pressure on Golson. Seeing Floridas secondary get exposed has me worried a little. But I think we'll be able to contain him, although I know that Brian Kelly is going to call a good game.

Notre Dame has some playmaking receivers though.. I think it was against Stanford when Golson went out and their backup QB made some pretty bad throws that their receivers were able to get. One was in the air for 8 seconds and the other was a bullet that was behind the receiver.. and it was caught for a TD to send to overtime.

The top 4 should be... 1)Alabama T-1)Notre Dame 3)Stanford 4)Oregon

When the season is over.
