Who do you think are the most underachieving teams this season?

1) Oklahoma - Virtual cakewalk to the playoffs yet they've lost to much less talented teams
2) Georgia - Should have rolled through the SEC East this year. Every team is down in the East except Kentucky. Can't believe they lost to USC this season.
3) Ohio St - I know they lost their QB, but still Va Tech isn't even good this season. You've got to win at least your one borderline challenging game before you get to Mich. St.
4) Texas A&M - Got off to that great start yet it may turn out they are the 6th best team in the SEC West. Let that sink in for a minute. The Aggies are at best the 6th best team in the SEC West. No way they are the 6th best team in any other conference, much less division. But they had the easiest SEC east schedule after their South Carolina game and they've just had an unbelievable come apart.

But honestly, since this is a mainly southeast board, if I was a Georgia fan I'd be really pissed off right now.

As a Georgia fan, it's annoying, but I had them losing to Carolina and Auburn at the beginning of the year.

A couple things to consider. Georgia missed two easy field goals that game and had three extremely terrible calls go against them. Also, the defense has come a long way since then, while Carolina seems to have regressed. You also have to factor in how much Steve Spurrier always gets his teams up Georgia. They've always given Georgia fits, especially in Columbia, while underachieving against most of the rest of the conference. If they played again today, I think Georgia wins easily.

So the loss now looks worse and might not only wind up costing us a spot in the playoff, but the division if we lose one of the next three and Missouri wins out in conference play.

The conference has gotten to the point where it's eating itself alive, but for a night game in Columbia at that time of year, I wouldn't call it a terrible loss.

If that makes sense.
 
I'm not sure why UGA fans should be pissed. We're still in control of our destiny. If we win out, we're in. Also lol at Gurley getting 4 games when Winston got nothing and Manziel got half a game.

Or Texas A&M really isn't that good this year?

Virginia Tech was hit hard with injuries. They are a totally different team right now than the one that played TOSU

I think UGA will win the SEC tournament. Gurley got 4 games for admitting he took money.
(a suspension which I think is wrong and hypocritical)

Why should Winston get something?
You must have information ----- would like to see it

Who cares (or cared) about Manzel. "One Game Johnny" is what he is called in Cleveland
 
Convinced ?.

.
Noles won 2nd half 35-10.
In that 2nd half missed 1st FG all season and had one TD called back.

Don't wanna hear about Louisville DC -- all I heard for the past week was "they are the top ranked defense in the country" from the usual suspects.

Noles lost 2/3 their LB crew during the week to injury. Played virtually with no subs at LB all night.
To my mind under the circumstances their most impressive win this season

stats from twitter:
FSU has 585 yards on the No. 1 defense in the country, on the road.

Florida State had 374 yards in 2nd half - Louisville hadn't allowed more than 351 yards in a GAME this season
////

Convinced ?
 
Louisville sucks, and now that they are playing in a decent conference they're getting exposed.

Expect the same thing to happen come basketball season.
 
Lol if anyone actually thought Lville had a good defense. They've played NO ONE until lately, and they're now getting exposed. Florida State's a very good team. Might very well repeat. They are in a patty cake conference, too, which helps.
 
If Louisville played in the SEC West they would have been a top 5 team coing into tonight and wuld compete for championship at end of season. a) better skill players b) better QB play c) better coached d) equal defense to MSU,Ole Miss,LSU, Auburn and Alabama

didn't Louisville out play (stomp a mud hole) and beat a top SEC just two seasons ago in the Sugar (?) Bowl ?
just askin'
 
”You know what I am? I'm your worst (bleep)in’ nightmare, man. I'm a (bleep) with a badge which means I got permission to kick your (bleep)in’ ass whenever I feel like it!” … And here’s your meltdown scenario.

- Florida State wins the ACC championship, and then loses Jameis Winston to suspension OR, Duke shocks the world and goes 12-1 with an ACC championship.

- Mississippi State loses to Alabama and the Bulldogs and Tide each finish with one loss. Alabama – having beaten Miss State – goes to the SEC title game and loses to Georgia, who finishes 12-1, meaning the committee might have to put in a one-loss Mississippi State team and keep out the Tide team that won the head-to-head battle, OR …

- Georgia wins the SEC championship and every SEC West team has two losses, while the Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big Ten champs all have one loss, meaning the SEC West might be shut out despite its epic season, OR …

- The Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 champion all have two losses or more, Notre Dame is 10-2, and Ole Miss runs the table, Alabama goes 11-1, and Georgia or LSU, or Mississippi State have two losses.

- Oregon dominates the regular season and then loses close to a two-loss South team in the Pac-12 championship, and/or someone other than Nebraska from the West wins the Big Ten title.

- In terms of ratings, you want the ultimate doomsday scenario? Mississippi State goes unbeaten, and Utah, TCU, and Duke all win their respective Power 5 conference titles with just one loss.
