Thursday, Aug. 30

7 p.m. ET (ESPN) No. 9 South Carolina at Vanderbilt Steve Spurrier recently paid the Commodores a compliment in a way only the Ball Coach could. "They are trying to play football at Vanderbilt," he said. "They really are." Vandy should be improved on offense after a 6-7 season, but its defense can't withstand four quarters of Gamecocks star Marcus Lattimore if he's recovered from last year's knee injury.

Pretty obvious that Michigan was WAAAY overrated(so ABC/NCAA could hype a top-ten match-up in week #1..???).

Saban let off the gas or they could have hung 60+ on Michigan...Alabama stomped them in the trenches(elsewhere)on both sides of the ball.

Then again, on any given Sunday Alabama could probably compete with half the NFL with their size/speed...the top tier SEC in general is just in another class compared with the others when it comes to recruits...the Midwest pick'ns must be slim....though Urban may have something to say about that at OSU in the near future.

It’s sad to see how far the Gators have fallen compared to Alabama and LSU. They looked every bit as bad yesterday as they did last year.

Not only that, there is clear division on the team because of the way Muschamp mishandled the QB situation.

This is why you don’t hire head coaches with no previous head coaching experience at this level.
