You are correct. The fun part of the SEC is that on any given Saturday a team can beat you. The SEC is tough and punishes each other badly. If the team gets caught looking ahead, Ark, LSU, Aub, UGA, TA&M Florida, Ten Miss (St & Ole) will beat you. Hell even Kentucky and South Carolina can ruin your season. Kentucky beat Louisville. These cupcake SEC teams would be perpetual spoilers and leaders in other conferences.
I do enjoy watching all college football games. Heart, excitement and emotion can make any game competitive. That’s the fun of it. I do have a hard time with the PSU OSU decision and I don’t have a strong tie in except not caring for Meyer. No more games need to be added for more playoff games. These kids / young men get hurt the longer the season goes. The competition is so tough UGA fired Mark Richt. That was Stupid.
Roll Tide / War Eagle! I can root for both unlike the rest of my state.
Actually I’m with you. Love Alabama but I taught at Auburn for 18 years. I definitely did a “War Eagle” every pay day!
RTR!
One thing about Bama is that everybody wants to beat them, and will be amped up for that game. Every team wants to beat the traditional powers and will play their best game of the year against tOSU or Bama. Individual players can be the same way. Bama fans call it the Stephen Garcia effect. Someone can stink up the field against everyone else, but face off against Bama, and they look like a lock for the Hall of Fame.
