Could there be a worse offense on a top team? It's been like watching the 2000 Ravens all year.
I have a buddy that went to Bama who just doesn't want to believe that McElroy is a bad QB.
Yawn is right. Alabama seems to get a pass for its offense sucking ass. As the #1 ranked team in the country hey shouldn't have that much trouble with a sub .500 Tennessee squad AT HOME no less.
And I think that Cody should have gotten a flag for removing his helmet before the play was over. That should have given the Vols another shot from closer. The SEC is gonna have to answer that one for the Vol fans.

i think it is pretty clear that no conference dominates nfl defensive lineman production.

i would not say by that you can claim the sec to be noticeably better than the big 12 after looking at the statistics.
but hey, keep talking mess.
Yawn my ass! That was a great finish! I love a good defensive game every now and then. I know good defense isn't something you Big 12 fans are used to seeing, but there are NFL D-lineman in the SEC. What a play by Mount Cody! Roll Tide!

this isn't a very good way to prove your point at all. D-line is pretty deep, you'll find far more great players outside of the first round.2009 First round NFL D-Lineman by conference:

a win because somebody took off their helmet really isnt a win... plus the game was over. i assume people can take off their helmets when the games over
I'll join in on this smack talk....
Any given Saturday the smart money is on the SEC. They are just that much better. Texas certainly doesn't stand a chance at winning the National Championship with both Florida and Bama in the top three. Mack Brown is hoping against hope that they won't have to face an SEC team in the title game (if they make it that far).
Any credit given to Texas falls back to the SEC. Much to my dismay they managed to get Muschamp away from Auburn. He knows what it's like to play real football in the best conference.

Actually the game wasnt over. Taking your helmet off while the play is still going on is an automatic 15 yard penalty and TENN should have gotten a 2nd kick. So you assumed incorrectly.
I noticed him take off his helmet as well, and tried to see a replay where they showed the clock and when he took his helmet off and they never showed it. You would be guessing if you said he took his helmet off before the game ended. He didn't take it off right away.
I don't think you can say it was a blown call if you're not sure when he took the helmet off.
Don't agree with this at all. I don't see Florida as better than Texas. Alabama looks to be about equal to Texas, maybe a little bit better.
Any credit given to Texas falls back to the SEC? Uhhh, Texas has the highest scoring offense in the nation. People who say that Texas' offense is their weakness needs to look at the scoreboard.
SEC is overrated this year outside the top 2 teams, and it isn't like those 2 teams are dominating every team they play.
If you look at strength of schedule, Alabama and Texas are tied at like 17. Florida is at 66. Interestingly, Oklahoma is at #1.
It shows where the hype is. It is also the easiest method to search for first round draft picks. I could spend hours doing regression analysis of conference versus conference... but I refuse to work that hard to counter someone on a message board.
slow day at work.
here's all the starting d-linemen and 3-4 linebackers in the league's conferences:
SEC - 32
Big 10 - 24
ACC - 22
Big 12 - 16
Pac 10 - 13
Other - 12
MAC - 5
MWC - 5
Big East - 4
Conf USA - 3
Sun Belt- 3
WAC - 2
fascinating.
So what do you guys think of Rolondo McClain?
#1 LB and prob top 10
Yeh my thought exactly! After seeing the impact that Crushing has made i'm hoping somehow he falls enough in the draft for us to have a shot at him. Could you imagine him in Dyles spot? He is a special player IMO. I know Dyles has played well but put McLain in his spot and WOW! We would easily have the best LB crew in the NFL. Not trying to start the whole "should we move Demeco debate again" but, I might even put McLain in the middle and Move Demeco to Dyles spot.
