Or maybe some of them are way overrated. It'd be a hard sell to make fans from other conferences buy that a 2 SEC win Arkansas team is "good." I know they're better than their record but nobody is buying that. Cides, they beat us last week and LSU fans were pissed to lose to such a pitiful team, remember?
I heard somewhere that this year is the first time in history that an entire division is bowl eligible. 7 out of 7 SEC west teams will go bowling this year. There are no pushover teams this year.
This can only happen by scheduling cupcake OOC opponents. People need to remember that when they complain about New Mexico State.
We understand but they're still boring. Yesterday was the worst Saturday of the season so far, for me. Not only were we open but SEC teams playing crap opponents. Bama almost made it interesting though. I thought that may be the UAB, Appy State for the year. Saban is due one. red you would know this. The conference still splits all bowl monies among programs?
He's really an extraordinary coach. Do do what he does, year-in and year-out is really an accomplishment in today's world of sports. Pissing off that it's for a division rival but he could go to Florida and do the same there. It's not luck. Well, of course, it's "a process."
Yeah most people saw Bielema righting the ship and in quick order. You could even see it a bit at the end of last season. He plays Les Miles' type of ball, defense and special teams coupled with a conservative run heavy offense.
