2010 SEC Football Discussion Thread

Spurrier? You guys in the eggnog? Too old for that demanding job. I tell you what UM really did not like was all the booster club crap. Send an assistant for that stuff. Why burnout a coach criss-crossing the state for such purposes?

Actually that's one of the strong points of Saban's contract. He only has to do very limited Booster Club events (money raising).


I don't think Spurrier will be back. But he does have a beach house on Cedar Key. (or did).

A lot of the writers who are making the most sense IMO are gravitating toward a Dan Mullen selection...

well looks like Alshon Jeffery (of South Carolina) didn't let Sportsmanship get in the way of South Carolina getting beat by Auburn.

I guess he's a little bitter about the final score....

Interesting article by Steward Mandell about whether Auburn had the hardest ever route to a BCS title game, and whether Oregon had the easiest:

Eliminating AQ bids would improve BCS process; more Mailbag - Stewart Mandel - SI.com

(answer to both: probably)

Auburn will beat Oregon like a red-headed stepchild...

yeah... We've discussed several times the absence of a hard schedule that Oregon and Boise State both had.

compare that to most SEC teams and having to play tough SEC opponents every week.

Look at Alabama. Most of it's opponents had a "free week" off before they played Bama each week, giving hem extra time to prepare. That's tough on a team. Still Bama had a good outcome this year.


No way that Boise State or Oregon could compete week after week in the SEC.

I like the way SI described it:

Auburn and Oregon will be contesting the National Championship Game, or, as it is starting to become known, the SEC invitational.

The SEC Invitational... I love it!
