2008 SEC Football Discussion Thread

nice job...I agree that Georgia may be overrated and I also agree that it is going to be a slugfest in the East...nothing new as of late. I don't think you will beat us at home although we do play Hawaii and Miami before you so it depends on what we show up with. I was thinking Auburn for the West Champ too. It is going to be exciting that's for sure.

Call it FANatic bias, but I like your thinking.

So can I read that as 'Free beer for Matt if he is right!'?

Surely its worth something to be right... especially with that MS State prediction. Who picks someone from that state to beat the national champions at home?

Georgia may be overated but they will beat Tennessee this year because they have a bye week before the Ga-Tn game and we all know that is a definite advantage. Besides thats the only game I really care for them to win LOL.
I will still support my DAWGS though and I do believe they will do well but I do agree they have been put to high on the pedestal. Too high up the only you can go is down and that isnt good.

Mr. Richt is already working overtime trying to get his thugs to behave. They're starting to believe all the hype, and getting into trouble already. It happens all the time to the highest ranked teams and it destroys them.


p.s. Silverback, I enjoyed the dives this weekend, except the microburst at the end.

You can claim the bye week is a good thing all you want, but I'm not buying it. I've seen teams all over get stomped after an early season bye. Teams get out of their groove many times when given time off. Granted, it does help with injuries, but this is still pretty early in the season to expect the team to be too banged up with bumps and bruises.

Tennessee plays Northern Illinois the week before I believe, so its not like a major opponent. I would much rather have a glorified scrimmage than an off week before a game of major importance.
