Greg Davis is really lighting shit up in Iowa!
The B1G is what, the 5th best conference?
SEC > B12 ........ > PAC12 > ACC > B1G
The gap between the 2nd and 3rd best conference is vast. The depth of the B12 is deeper and the average B12 team is better than the average SEC team, but none of the B12 teams are elite this year... imo.
So far the Big 12 looks better than the SEC this year. Just sayin'.
The only truly elite team I see is 'Bama. It's going to be damn tough to stop them from repeating, unfortunately.

They will destroy Ole Miss... Mizzou looks like a shell of its 2011 B12 self. I saw bits of the SC vs Mizzou game and I couldn't believe how tentative the offense was.
Outside of LSU, Auburn in the final week might be the toughest game. A&M could challenge 'Bama a little, but I'm not sure A&M will have a healthy QB by then the way they use him to run the ball.
I understand. They just look very disciplined and ridiculously talented (as usual). I think they're the team to beat.

You know what scares me the most about K-State? Doerr. He really made the difference in that game. OU was pinned inside the 20 on all 5 punts(twice inside the 10). That's phenomenal kicking. JMU did that to us, hang the ball high and long, forcing Tavon Austin to signal fair catch every single time.

Alabama has a hilariously easy route to the MNC this year, but they aren't unbeatable in my opinion. They have some weakness in the secondary and their offensive line play has been suspect at times. I think Oregon or WVU would have a real shot at knocking them off. In fact, I think WVU has a real shot at going all the way as long as they don't pull a WVU this year and lose to some team they had no business losing to.
Yeah, that was huge. Field position and possession is K-State's answer to the up-tempo offense... And it really worked against OU, who never got into a rhythm. Which is part of the reason I think Texas has a reasonably good chance hosting WVU.Quote:

On a better note, our punting was much, much, improved this week. Average of 47, and a few over 50 yards. Kick off was another story...TWO out of bounds kicks. That pisses me off to no end, and will absolutely not work in B12 play.Quote:

This let Tavon get 1on1, and is why he lit them up with YAC. Stedman wasn't much of a factor, they made it look like 1on1, but one of the corners, and a lot of times the safety also, was cheating up. Thankfully, we have two all-American receivers. You can't stop both of them.
Bring on the bears...
