PSUcelticsWON95 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Now, if FSU can just play like that the entire game.Like it or not, Florida State knows how to win. They don't dominate teams like last year, but they get the job done.This. Doesn't matter how you do it. A win is a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have that SEC stranglehold, those Seminoles, the Oregon NikeDucks or Notre Dame.You like nothing, so this comment means nothing.I'm usually one of the biggest anti-SEC voices in the crowd, but that's more because of ESPN's constant war-mongering and smear campaigns against other conferences. That being said, though, I'd have zero problem with Mississippi State winning it all, just because they're a fresh face.Here's a thought though. Is MSU really that good - or is the SEC West that bad? We've been conditioned to assume that the SEC is top flight football, regardless of the on-field product. Because most SEC teams play a non-conference schedule that looks like a junior YMCA league, it's damn near impossible to pinpoint how good MSU really is. If you doubt this, just ask yourself if MSU is as good as Cam Newton's Auburn, AJ McCarron's Alabama or Tim Tebow's Florida. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I think there's a cognitive bias in trying to assess that question, however. 1) We all know just how good those other teams were. One won multiple titles, another won multiple titles, and the other may win multiple titles if Cam wasn't there for only one year.2) It's Mississippi State we're talking about here. We aren't used to them being a football power. Naturally, there's going to be a "yeah, but" factor in trying to figure out whether they are really championship material or not. It's only natural. If Alabama had Mississippi State's roster and results, I don't think any of us would be so quick to think "yeah, but how well do they really stack up with the best of the rest?".

Raysfan12 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 That loss to FSU feels like a punch to the gut and man it hurts. Hopefully the Cards can bounce back next week and beat Boston College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't dominate teams like last year, but they get the job done.This. Doesn't matter how you do it. A win is a win.This line of thinking always seem to prevail when talking about the SEC, but not the other conferences. For instance, Ohio State's 2OT win at Penn State, in front of 110,000 fans... one of the most hostile environments in college football. Yet, tOSU dropped in the poles.

It's impossible to remove bias from the equation. Either the media ranks the "favored" teams and we criticize them for bias, or they rank the "Cinderella" teams and we think that team is a fluke. It's a very odd thing to think about, really. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

nuordr Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Kentucky just extended the contract of Mark Stoops to 2020 and raised his base salary from $2.2 million to $3.225 million going from dead last in the SEC to the 6th highest. The chart below details the SEC coaching salaries before this latest extension: Stoops announced at the press conference that his assistants would also be receiving raises in the near future.

As a Kentucky football fan, you must be very excited for the future. Stoops has done a great job in recruiting and coaching. They could be a serious SEC East contender in a year or so.

If you doubt this, just ask yourself if MSU is as good as Cam Newton's Auburn, AJ McCarron's Alabama or Tim Tebow's Florida. OH FOR S SAKE... The SEC West, in it's collectivity, has lost a grand total of one game outside of its own division. It is 23-0 in nonconference play, with wins over Texas Tech, Boise State, West Virginia, Kansas State, and Wisconsin. It is 9-1 against the SEC East, with the 1 loss being division basement dweller Arkansas losing to SEC East-leading Georgia. It's good and loaded and to argue otherwise makes you the worst kind of homer. Now excuse me, I need to wash because I feel positively dirty for having to defend that division.

DS729 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Welp, it looks like the "longest" bowl streak in the country is going to snap this year, as the poor Hokies fall to 4-5 and still have to play at Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Kudos to Muschamp for the fake FG* call which went a little less than 30 yards for a TD.The players seem to like Muschamp so I figured they would come out and play their asses off for him -- just took a 14-7 lead. I don't expect it to last but you never know -- they've got a little confidence now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida State is still going to the post-season to make their streak at 32. The 2006 Emerald Bowl win was vacated, not their bowl appearance.

WSU151 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Gary Danielson must be watching a completely different game than his cameramen. He's having a really off day today.With that said, Mark Richt is well on his way to his annual terrible loss. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
